For residences

Good company, brought to your residents.

A Circle season for five to eight residents, held in your residence in the West Island. Or, to begin, a chair massage afternoon.

I've worked with older adults in West Island residences since 2016. I know the rhythm of a residence day, and how much a regular, unhurried gathering can mean to the people who come to it.

Two ways to work together

A full season, or a first afternoon.

A season

The Circle, in your residence

Eight weekly gatherings of two hours with the same five to eight residents: breath and gentle movement, a theme to reflect on, and time to speak and to listen.

$250 a gathering

Billed as each gathering takes place.

A first step

A chair massage afternoon

A short seated massage for each resident who would like one, fully clothed. An easy way for residents to meet me before a season.

$140 an hour

Two-hour minimum.

Why a season

Trust needs time.

The same people meet each week. Over the season they come to know each other differently: they have heard each other's stories, and that carries into the dining room and the hallways.

If the group wants to keep going after the season, we can continue at a lighter rhythm, every two weeks or once a month.

Practical details

Everything you need to know.

  • Where: in your residence, anywhere in the West Island.
  • Group: five to eight residents, the same group each week.
  • When: a weekday afternoon, chosen together around your activity calendar.
  • What I need from you: a quiet room with a door that closes, chairs with arms, and water.
  • Price: the Circle is $250 a gathering, billed as each one takes place. A chair massage afternoon is $140 an hour, with a two-hour minimum. Payment by cheque or e-transfer.

Let's find a time that suits your residents.
