    Episode Summary:

    In this episode, I share my passionate dream of creating a treatment facility for those with conditions like cerebral palsy. I envision it as an inclusive and supportive space where caregivers can also find respite and relaxation. The inspiration for this idea stems from my personal journey with physiotherapy and the transformation it brought to my life. I emphasize the importance of not merely maintaining one's condition but seeking improvement.

    I discuss the challenges of insurance and funding, highlighting my intent to collaborate with insurance companies to make treatments more accessible. I'm committed to developing guides and resources, starting in Ontario, Canada, and expanding globally.

    In a heartfelt segment, I recount a college memory that underscores the daily challenges I face, asserting that it's okay to have moments of frustration but essential to seek support and move forward. I conclude by asking listeners to share their experiences to help create a facility that best serves our community.
