Kaarina Ion
Office Manager
My name is Kaarina and I am the office manager with Mainland Speech. I come to Mainland with over 20 years of management experience, primarily in the healthcare field and, more recently, in a private speech-language pathology clinic. Prior to joining the speech pathology world, I worked as an optician for nearly 15 years.
On the personal/parenthood side, two of my sons have received important diagnoses and therapies, which have provided me with specific insight useful in my position at Mainland Speech. I understand, personally and professionally, the services and support our therapists provide and I know how truly important and life-changing SLP intervention can be.
Outside of work, I spend my time homeschooling or adventuring with my three active boys, and in contrast to that energetic world, I tend to favour tranquility in my “free” time. I often read to relax and I will never say no to a good cup of tea.
