  • Found the support that she was missing to help her son thrive

    “My journey of parenting a child with special needs has been immeasurably better thanks to an earth angel named Tanya. Assigned to my son through an agency, when he was 6 years old, Tanya taught, guided, mentored, listened and provided incredible support for me to navigate the challenges of the education system, community supports, siblings, finding other parents to connect with, and even self-care. As I reached out to Tanya when feeling overwhelmed, alone, and defeated, quickly she helped me to feel understood and supported and that I had a fierce ally in Tanya. I will be forever grateful for the understanding, compassion, advice, and time she spent, as it made all the difference in getting through many challenging circumstances and years.

  • Busy mom on her way to reconnect with her art practice

    “Tanya helped me tremendously in just a matter of an hour! I left our session with fresh ideas and a change of mindset. Through her guidance, I was able to reduce my stress and find balance within myself. Thank you Tanya!”

  • Busy mom of 3 seeking more for her family

    Our family has had the absolute pleasure of having hands down, the very best, recreation therapist... Ms. Tanya Keast! She has provided, planned and ran monthly active social experiences where families with children who are differently abled are able to get out of the house, get to know others in a non-judgemental and safe environment while laughing and being active. Each event was unique, providing experiences our children would not have had otherwise, giving them confidence, and helping them to feel accepted and included when other areas of their life were not providing this.

  • Single mom of 3, finally finding some time for herself

    “I would 100% recommend Tanya as a coach to anyone. Her warmth, wisdom, and empathetic heart make her both a blessing and a pleasure to work with. Very quickly, Tanya was able to help me see past what I thought was my "issue", and get to the core of what was really happening, and needed. She truly has a gift for helping and understanding. Even though we weren't in person, I felt her presence and closeness in a way that surprised me. I'm so grateful Tanya has found her "calling", as she is, and has a gift!”
