We are passionate about helping people from all walks of life in the areas of speech, language, voice and swallowing. We offer high quality, individualized assessment and treatment services in French and/or English both in person and virtually throughout Northern Ontario, including several rural areas.
As a private practice, we operate an eco-friendly business with a focus on filling the service gaps throughout Northern Ontario. We favour a nature-based approach.
