Elaine Morin
animal-assisted therapy practitioner, director, and trainer
In 2009, she successfully completed her animal-assisted therapy diploma at the International School of Animal-Assisted Therapy. In 2010, she joined the Corporation of Animal-Assisted Therapists of Quebec to become an active member. She founded SPP services and began developing proven and diversified projects and interventions within her organization, to contribute to the well-being of individuals with specific needs whom she is called upon to serve. Day after day, and for 15 years now, this animal-assisted therapy professional has rekindled and fueled her passion with creativity and motivation through her work with vulnerable populations. Driven by the deep conviction that every human has the potential to grow and flourish, she particularly cherishes the beneficial contributions that the presence of animals can provide to each individual. Guided by the desire to meet the needs of the unique individuals she encounters, the development of all kinds of projects and programs with animal presence as their cornerstone (personal growth, educational, or therapeutic) has taken on its full meaning. Thus, her years of practice have led her to offer unique support services adapted to diverse clienteles.
