Our Story
Inspire was created out of a passion for wanting to help others. After years spent working in traditional therapy settings, Mariah noticed a gap in services. She felt that families were being supported everywhere except for where they needed it most, in the home. Following a life-altering diagnosis or injury families were left to seek help through clinics. Although beneficial, Inspire knows that for many, there is a huge need for treatment within the home for maximum success. This is where the idea behind Inspire began!
