FAMOUS DREADED PHONE CALL
You are met with statements like, "Your child's behavior is unacceptable," or "We can no longer accommodate their learning differences." Instead of receiving the necessary assistance, they further give you ultimatums, such as being told to hire a shadow, behavior specialist or find another school.

"Ceci was indispensable to my recovery from a severe fracture of my upper arm which required months of limited mobility before I was released into her capable hands for PT. She has a gifted touch with manual therapy, and was able to give me relief from my pain at each session. I have a background in yoga so having a trained yoga therapist work on me who had an in- depth understanding of physiology and energy movement provided an added level of support. My surgeon told me that I have achieved the greatest recovery in range of motion for the severity of my injury that she has ever seen."

This is making you feel deeply concerned about your child's well-being and future. Overwhelmed and frustrated with yourself, wondering if you could have done something differently. Annoyed with the educational system for not providing adequate support.
Who keep making promises but don't always deliver the desired results...
Helpless and alone, not knowing how to address the challenges your child is facing...
The peace of mind that comes from knowing how to navigate the educational system, advocate for your child, and create a positive and supportive learning environment?
A harmonious atmosphere where you and your child work together in a calm and supportive environment. You can easily communicate, understand each other's needs, and tackle daily tasks with ease.
More than just that, parents are so tired of working, parenting, giving and giving… that the “structured” techniques that are usually provided by most parenting experts easily fall to the wayside. Parents are pouring from an empty cup and experiencing a sense of overwhelm and burnout.

“I have been working with Cecilia Lester specifically on issues of PTSD. Following the knee replacement, when under the care of traditional Western PT practitioners, methods were used that involved forcing my knee to bend. This resulted in my first ever experience with panic attacks. Ms. Lester utilized an integration of the Eastern methods of yoga therapy and other techniques with Western PT methods. I am now pain-free, have had no panic attacks in two years, and can navigate stairs and do other movements that require me to bend my knee much farther than ever! I recommend this outstanding practitioner of integrative therapy methods without reservation.”

Through my expertise as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, parent coach and my own personal experiences as a mother to an 'out of the box' child, I aim to bring understanding, compassion, and practical solutions to families. By offering guidance, resources, and a supportive network, I strive to empower parents to become their child's strongest advocates and champions. I believe that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in their individual journey.
My mission extends beyond the individual families I work with. I am dedicated to raising awareness, promoting acceptance, and advocating for the needs of exceptional children in society. I aim to inspire change and create a more inclusive world where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Life and Parent Coach, Author, Grief Counselor, Private Practitioner for the past 25 years, former adjunct faculty at Nova Southeastern University and Solo Mom to an “Out of the Box” daughter.
From my childhood experiences to the present day, I have come to deeply appreciate the immense impact of providing a child with a solid foundation of love, support, and understanding. As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, parent coach and a mother to an "out of the box" daughter, my journey has equipped me with valuable insights and tools that have inspired and empowered not only my own family but also my clients and community.
I am hopeful, that together, we can embrace the uniqueness of every child and celebrate their remarkable abilities. By joining forces, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families, creating a brighter future for generations to come.
