Boniface Consulting has been providing community-based occupational therapy services in the lower mainland since 2000. More than just return to work, occupational therapy helps people return to the activities (occupations) they need and want to do in their daily life. Whether it's getting dressed, taking care of yourself or your family, driving or returning to work, occupational therapy can help you return to your valued daily occupations.
Our therapists are registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of British Columbia and members of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists.
