Aimee possesses a potent combination of strengths: keen insight, a great depth of awareness, the nimbleness to gracefully pivot, the capacity to stand firm, the trustworthiness to follow through and to add a splash of creativity. She’s a remarkable team player and one of my most depended upon go tos when I’m in an organizational or personal pinch.”

Her work with my class has modeled how to not underestimate my students’ abilities to be critical thinkers, reflective and empathetic. And her work with the school staff started us on the road to healing and re-thinking how we relate as an organization that serves at-risk youth. There is so much to say about my work with Aimee...just too wonderful for words!”

She very effectively drew on her skills, experience, and especially her intuition, to sensitively guide the interactions, allowing all voices to be heard.
