Office Mascott
Sadly, Maggie, our much beloved office mascot passed away recently at 15 1/2 years old. While she is no longer with us, it is well worth checking out my blog to read about the amazing transformation she experienced with SSP. Clients who had been coming for a while have been amazed at the changes in her, as has all of her family! More people decided to do SSP after watching her change over time, than I could possibly have anticipated. :)
Office Jester & Therapy Dog
Jasper is a 6 year old St. John's Ambulance Therapy Dog. In addition to his work at Halton Therapy & Neurofeedback, Jasper has friends throughout Georgetown, volunteering with Carol Ann to visit nursing homes, schools, addiction programs, community events, and more. While Jasper is sometimes felt to not necessarily be the smartest boy, he is almost universally agreed upon as being one of the silliest and sweetest boys.
Office Manager & Therapy Cat
Molly is a one year old Ragdoll cat. Ragdolls are a less allergenic breed. While Molly's actual role is truly one of therapy cat, being a cat, she believes she is the one in charge and, in some respects, she is not wrong. During sessions, Molly loves to either supportively sleep on her climber, or to snuggle with those clients who welcome her sitting with them. Many clients find that Molly makes a most excellent fidget toy. Even people who usually don't like cats, typically love Molly who has many dog-like traits, including that she loves to have her tummy rubbed. :)

Read MoreThe SSP uses the auditory system as a portal to the vagus complex, which controls our physiological state. Once physiological state is regulated, we feel calmer, happier, more confident, and more able to engage with others. The SSP boosts the effectiveness of other approaches and therapies being accessed.

It isn’t just PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) activation that is facilitated, it is homeostasis." -- Robert Scaer, MD, “The Trauma Spectrum"
