Registered Provisional Psychologist

“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Georgie Perigny and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most grounded, authentic, and wholehearted leaders I’ve ever encountered. Georgie leads with both her head and her heart, an educator who consistently sees people before problems. Her integrity is unwavering, her compassion contagious, and her ability to bring calm and connection to even the most challenging spaces is remarkable. Georgie builds community with courage and intention. She is the kind of leader our education and mental health systems need more of—one who walks the walk, tells the truth, and helps everyone around her feel a little braver. Dr. Jody Carrington

Georgie is an enthusiastic, resourceful & deeply compassionate person with a heart-centered way of caring for and nurturing others. She's not afraid to step up and take action to make a difference in the lives of others in any way she possibly can, inspiring others along the way." Deena Kordt

"I have known Georgie for many years and have had the priviledge of working alongside her as both a teacher and a school leader. She is a hard worker, lifelong learner with a big heart and a deep sensitivity to the needs of others. Georgie leads with humility, kindness and integrity, always committed to learning, growing, and supporting thosse around her. Her love of helping people connect, learn and grow shines through everything she does. I have no doubt that the community she is creating will be a trusted, nurturing space where people of all ages feel supported and seen." ​ Janice Gallant
