Sue Clarkson
It is a privilege to work with families as they begin their parenting journey. I love seeing new skills develop and confidence build in parents throughout their baby’s first year of life. I enjoy spending time outdoors being active, spending time indoors playing ukulele, and being a mom to my 2 teenage sons.

I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to work with parents and their babies as they embark on this journey. I also love any chance I can get to cuddle with babies! I enjoy running, x-country skiing, hanging out with my husband and 2 teenagers. I am grateful everyday to live in beautiful Fernie.
