What our patients say about us
After my stroke, visual impairments prevented me from driving and returning to work. Gwen-Lynn provided home visits for visual rehabilitation therapy, worked closely with my neuro-optometrist, and later guided me through a driving assessment—even taking me on the highway. Thanks to her support and a gradual return-to-work program, I regained my confidence, independence, and ability to work again. Thank you, Gwen-Lynn!
After my operation and subsequent stroke, I received exceptional care. Marne’s lymphatic drainage therapy greatly reduced swelling and promoted my healing, while Gwen-Lynn provided expert, compassionate treatment tailored to my needs. She not only helped me regain mobility but also guided me with practical exercises and a long-term recovery plan. Thanks to their skilled therapy and support, I went from being wheelchair-bound to fully mobile.

A year ago I had a stroke that affected the left side of my body, especially my arm and shoulder. Gwen-Lynn, an occupational therapist, helped me regain my independence with incredible patience, creativity, and encouragement. Everyday things like buttoning up, tying shoelaces, fastening a belt, were out of the question for me. Thanks to Gwen-Lynn, I can now do everything on my own again!
