About us
Our Mission
At Tamaca Therapy Services, our mission is simple: to act with honour and reverence as we advocate for, participate in, and witness positive change in the lives of others. This guiding mission reflects our commitment to serve with integrity, respect, and compassion in everything we do. We believe that by upholding the dignity of each person and each community we work with, we can help create meaningful, lasting change.
Our values
Our core values shape the culture of Tamaca and how we deliver our services. We hold three pillars of values that guide our team every day:
Individual:
Compassion & Empowerment
We use kind and uplifting language to speak about the individual and their potential. We are compassionate when we act with empathy and vulnerability. When our words and actions are gentle and honest, we foster an environment where an individual can heal, grow, and reach their highest potential. Every success, no matter how small, is celebrated on each person’s journey.
Community:
Cultural Respect & Legacy of Care
We are guests in the communities we serve, and we carry that responsibility with cultural awareness and respect. Our team strives to practice in a way that is safe and mindful of each community’s mental health and history. We listen and learn continually, understanding that true partnership means adapting to community needs and values. Kindness and compassion is Tamaca's legacy in the communities we serve.
Collaboration:
Humility & Professionalism
Tamaca acts confidently with professional knowledge and experience and makes room for humility and compassion. We are passionate about our professions, our communities, improving ourselves, and making a significant difference in the lives of others. As partners in the circle of care, our team invites collaboration and is willing to be coached, seek counsel, and receive feedback.
Our Story
In small communities across Canada, children are in need of specialists who may never arrive. Tamaca was created to change that story. Founder Megan Stock grew up in Fort Smith, NWT, a remote town where getting help for a child’s speech or physical needs meant waiting months or travelling hours. She saw firsthand how lack of access can hold back a child’s potential. Fueled by these experiences, Megan envisioned a better way: what if the circle of care could extend to every community, no matter how far?
Today, Tamaca Therapy Services travels the roads, rivers, and skies to make sure no family has to feel alone in helping their child. We are partners in the circle of care, a dedicated, multidisciplinary team of speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, mental health therapists, audiologists, dietitians, and more, working together with your community. Our story is one of respect, relationship, and hope. When we visit a school on a faraway reserve or connect with a parent over Zoom, we do it with honour and reverence, living our mission of advocating for positive change. We learn about each community’s culture and listen to each family’s goals. A grandmother’s wisdom, a teacher’s insight, a child’s trust, these guide us as much as our training.
Tamaca blends heartfelt passion with proven practice. We carry into each community not only professional expertise and therapy tools but also a belief that every child deserves to thrive in mind, body, and spirit. If a child needs help speaking, we might sit on the classroom carpet with them and their friends, turning therapy into storytime and laughs. If a teenager struggles with anxiety or trauma, we might walk with them outdoors on the land they love, grounding counselling in nature and understanding. We use evidence-based programs adapted respectfully to local traditions and languages. Our promise is to walk alongside you as trusted partners. We return regularly, building meaningful connections and celebrating each child's progress along the way. We guide and empower local caregivers, ensuring progress continues every day, not just during our visits.
Tamaca’s story is one of coming together. A circle of care that keeps widening to embrace more children and more communities. We see the spark in each child, the pride in a first word spoken, the confidence in a first step taken, the calm in a coping skill learned, and we commit our hearts and hands to fanning that spark. In partnership with First Nations leaders, caring families, and dedicated service partners, Tamaca is building a future where distance and isolation no longer limit a child’s success. Together, let’s build a stronger circle of care, helping every child realize their full potential. Together, we will ensure a brighter, healthier future for your community’s next generation.
