Marie-Lyne Chayer, Occupational Therapist

About

Marie-Lyne is a graduate of the Université de Montréal; she obtained a master's degree in occupational therapy in 2015. While she developed a particular interest in seniors at the start of her career, she initially took training courses to work with this targeted clientele: Déficits cognitifs chez les aînés : De l'évaluation à la réadaptation - Niveau 1; Déficits cognitifs - Personnes âgées en CLSC, réadaptation et CHSLD;

However, over the years she has developed a particular interest in mental health clients, and the need for professional rehabilitation of this specific clientele became even more pressing in the context of the Pandemic, giving rise to a strong interest in new related passions such as yoga therapy, stress management and life balance in general. In addition to accumulating 200 hours of professional yoga training, she went on to take the following courses: Stress management, a personal and professional solution for well-being; Medical yogatherapy - Eval. & Rx; Occupational therapy and post-traumatic stress disorder: understanding and intervening with military personnel and veterans;

In addition to customer-related training, she has also taken courses more specifically related to record-keeping, with the aim of equipping herself to communicate effectively (Basic and Advanced Record-keeping, Basic and Advanced Motivational Interviewing), in order to support the rehabilitation of her customers and ensure quality service.
