What Margo's client's say.....
Hope Program Client
I am very grateful for having the opportunity to attend Hope Bridge Services. This experience changed my life and got me on the right path. Margo helped me gain confidence to transition from addiction to being a highly functioning member of society. Margo listened with empathy and understood the challenges I was facing; she was very supportive and provided encouragement and ongoing support. Thank you Margo, you go above and beyond as a mentor, coach and counsellor.
Sober Coach Client
After multiple attempts at recovery I got lucky and met Margo. She kept things simple, taught me to self regulate, trust myself and risk learning new ways. She challenged me to create and play. My recovery is strong now. I have my children with me. I am grateful, thank you Margo.
Sober Coach
Margo is down-to-earth, kind and knowledgeable. In the beginning sessions were all about slowing me down, refocusing my energies to build a strong recovery. Over time, broader goals emerged. My sessions became more about removing obstacles, staying grounded and moving forward one steady step at a time. Margo seemed to be able to find the encouragement needed at each turning point. Six years sober now, I have completed a ten month support worker program that lead me to Nursing School and my current career as a Practical Nurse. Margo makes you do the work but it's
worth it!
Retreat Guest
Apprehension would best describe my feelings arriving at the retreat. I was new to recovery and had never got-on with other women very well. It was amazing to me how safe it felt. I began to trust the other women and in so doing began trusting myself. It was a life changing experience and a great deal of fun! Thank you Margo, for your generosity of spirit and playful
approach.
Sober Coach Client
I was six years sober when I first started the service. My life was still a mess. Nothing ever seemed to work out for me. It helped me see a way forward. I learned how to establish achievable goals. Margo supported me to overcome challenges, and cheered me on when my motivation was low. After a year, I had succeeded at meeting some of my goals. More importantly I now have the confidence and skills to keep going.

I was really taken by the realization that Margo had not only anticipated how both partner agencies would benefit from working together, but more importantly she had considered how her clients would benefit from the partnership.
