Bio

My name is Crystal McDermott an I am in the Degree of Therapeutic Recreation program at Seneca College King. I am a register yoga instructor. I  focus on mental health, trauma recovery and life promotion with the hope to work along other health care professionals in the support of those with mental health challenges upon graduation. I am passionate about advocating for the positive outcomes of Recreation Therapy in all domains of human existence. With lived experience of the power that Recreation Therapy has on increasing mental wellness, I personally know the benefit of movement and physical activity in monumental ways. When I am  not deep in research and studies for school you can catch me working on my deadlift, practicing yoga, participating in obstacle course race’s, and spending as much time as possible outside.
