See How it Works
Look in on an actual consulting session to see what it’s like. Just click the Play button to see Lucas helping Lyle Povah, founder and Executive Director of the Rhythm of Life Society. Lyle is launching the Drum Run Adventure Tour (a fundraiser for BC Children’s Hospital) this September and wanted some Mac organizing tips from Lucas.
Just some of the things you’ll learn:
Watch Lucas describe the program

Never done screen sharing? No worries!
You might think that screen sharing with a computer expert can be daunting because screen sharing is difficult to set up. Don’t worry, we’ve worked with hundreds of seniors and we know exactly what to say to make it smooth and easy. It’s completely safe and secure. And don't worry — we'll show you how to close and cancel screen sharing so you know for sure the session is ended.
Totally private and secure
These days fake tech support companies are a very real threat. From our home base in Vancouver, Canada we've helped keep our clients safe from spam, virus scares, and tech support scams for over two decades. Lucas and his team have been doing in-home consulting since 2001 and expanded to international remote support during COVID. Privacy and security are extremely important to us; you will never be asked to show us or tell us your passwords… Everything we do for you we can do without knowing your passwords.
Grace (in Edmonton, Alberta) was worried about falling and not sure if she would be able to get to her phone. Her daughter recommended an Apple Watch with “Fall Detection” enabled but setting that up was daunting for Grace. Lucas worked with her for an hour via FaceTime to set up the Apple Watch so it was connected to Grace’s iPhone, enabled Fall Detection, made the Watch look nice the way Grace wanted it, and taught Grace how to use it.
Steve had passwords saved in Safari, Chrome, and an app on his iPhone. The password systems were fighting with each other and making Steve’s life miserable. Lucas helped Steve get 1Password set up. Together Steve and Lucas turned off the password management in Safari and Chrome, exported all the passwords out of Steve’s iPhone, and got everything nicely in one place. Now Steve is using it and loving having everything finally working!
