Amputee Life Coach
When I had my lower leg amputated five years ago, I was ready to shift my practice to focus solely on helping amputees recover quality of life and peace of mind.
Unlike most therapists of any persuasion, I work with a limited number of clients and without recurring meetings.
Why?
Because you don’t deserve to wait that long
Because panic and other emotional extremes don’t follow a set schedule
Because you need to back on your feet again ASAP
Because I found that people learning to cope with amputation can’t wait that long and that approach doesn’t work.
My services are simple and direct. I have been a support mechanism and resource for people just like you, when you need me. Simply reach out and we’ll meet any reasonable time of day as soon as I’m available.
