Aimee Is An Occupational Therapist Living In Connecticut
Mother. Wife. Occupational therapist. Life skills coach. Yoga and meditation teacher.
It is clear from the endless supply of different hats she wears that Aimee has an incredible passion for life and helping others thrive.
Beginning her career as an occupational therapist in 1996 after graduating from Boston University with a Masters of Science, Aimee has extensive experience working with children with a variety of disabilities and adults in both in- and out-patient settings.
Following her diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer in 2009, Aimee began to examine her own lifestyle.

“A friend recommended Aimee when we were having trouble with some behavioral issues with our son. He was getting angry outside of school and having trouble in social situations. We had seen other therapists but weren’t making much progress. Aimee connected with our son immediately and provided him with tools to help him work through difficult situations.”

“We have been working with Miss Aimee for over a year now and our experience has been terrific. When we started, my daughter was incredibly timid about playing with children her own age due to uneasiness with controlling her body and surroundings. Today she is like a new kid. Working with Miss Aimee has given her the confidence she needs to just be a kid.”
