Bridging the Gap

To empower means to give someone the authority, confidence, or strength to do something. At Empower Consulting, we believe that no one knows an individual with a disability better than the individual themself and their family. By empowering families with knowledge, skills, and tools to navigate the world of adult services, we work to eliminate the disconnect between individuals and professionals, putting the power of choice where it belongs - with the individuals themselves and those closest to them.

While we offer ongoing support services, our goal for every client is to work ourselves out of a job, leaving the client and their family  with the tools and skills to navigate the adult world with confidence.

Our Mission

Empower Consulting equips individuals with disabilities and their families with the tools, skills, and knowledge to navigate the transition to life after high school.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every individual is empowered to live their best life.

Our Values

  • Inclusivity: All individuals deserve to live the life they imagine in all spaces.

  • Empowerment: All families have the ability to advocate for their loved one with a disability and navigate the world of services - working with Empower Consulting makes this easier.

  • Authenticity: I show up for my clients as a fellow parent still actively navigating the world of disability services.

  • Clarity: Navigating post-secondary adult services is overwhelming and murky. Empower Consulting plans provide the clarity families need to take small steps that will result in big differences for their loved one.
