Getting Started on Our Rogue Venture
Women's Health & Family Wellness
I relocated from the East Coast of Canada to British Columbia in 2005, to begin my career in Occupational Therapy as an early intervention pediatric OT with a non-profit organization. I was a “rural generalist”, meaning I worked with anyone and everyone, using a variety of service delivery models including consultation, coaching, direct service, family education and community health promotion.

Rogue Consulting Group, Inc.
Our Transformation into a Consulting FirmÂ
In 2013, with a toddler underfoot, I officially opened my first business called "Strong Beginnings Family Wellness & Consulting Services".
I wanted to keep one foot in the clinical world as I continued my training in women's health and early brain development, I was also continually drawn to the world of adult education and consulting.
By 2016, I had created a new revenue stream for my business in the form of an online course geared towards other therapists. Shortly after, the requests started coming in for more coaching support, where I worked closely with other OT entrepreneurs to strengthen the overall efficiency of their businesses.
