About Ann Marie
Clients tell their friends, “Go see Ann Marie. She’ll help you.”
I offer a whole body, integrated health care experience.
I’ve practiced Occupational Therapy (OT) for over 42 years and worked in a wide arena from geriatrics to pediatrics, with cancer survivors, children and adults with orthopedic and musculoskeletal issues, clients with neurological challenges such as MS and Parkinson’s, and select athletes who wish to maintain optimal health and functionality.
Today I my offer clients a rare menu, fusing my skills as an OT, Pilates and Yoga teacher, Reiki Master, Ergonomic Specialist and cancer survivor x3. I use an integrated approach suited to the way each client lives, works and plays.
From the moment my clients walk through the door, I begin evaluating them. I look at their faces, they way they carry themselves to assess their needs and identify ways to help them. I may use a variety of techniques within a 55 minute session, to provide relief and further long term healing and wellness.
I look forward to welcoming you.
