"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."

Parents, teachers, and professionals will finally come together as a united team, communicating effectively to unlock the full potential in every child.
BEING A TEACHER AND/OR PARENT IS HARD ENOUGH...
Being a teacher and/or parent of a child with undefined specific needs or a diagnosis is even tougher!
When a teacher and/or parent lacks the understanding or training to deal with these needs, they may feel overwhelmed or unsure about the appropriate strategies to support the child effectively. As a result, the child's needs might go unaddressed, potentially leading to frustration, decreased self-esteem, and further academic struggles.
Remember, it's okay to feel overwhelmed, but it's essential to
reach out for help and work together to ensure the child's success and well-being.
If you have a mind and a body you can do this work!
Your body is asking you to help it feel better, to not live with lower back or neck pain as a baseline.

I can't thank Dr. Carol enough for the incredible impact she has had on my son's life! When my child started exhibiting challenging behaviors in school, both teachers and I were completely at a loss as to why and how to help him. It was a frustrating and worrisome time for our family.
But then, we found Dr. Carol. From the very beginning, she showed genuine care and expertise, guiding us step-by-step in understanding my son's needs. Through her comprehensive approach, Dr. Carol helped us identify sensory challenges and provided us with practical strategies to address them.
Today, my son is a different child. He's happier, more confident, and performing beautifully in school. The transformation is truly remarkable! Dr. Carol's expertise and genuine passion for helping children will make a profound difference in your child's life, just like it did for my son.

With over 25 years of expertise as an Occupational Therapist
Dr. Carol knows how to navigate the complexities of sensory, behavior, and learning difficulties. Dr. Carol knows that...
working with the teachers and parents makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
After working as an occupational therapist, being an adjunct faculty and even writing the best selling book, On the Road To Handwriting Success , I realized that as a therapist I did everything in my power to support the child. However, the missing piece was the work that needed to be done with the teachers and parents. Parents and teachers need guidance, support and empowerment to advocate for the child.
Knowledge truly is power when it comes to advocating for your child and recognizing their unique abilities.
Remember, you are not alone in this journey. I am committed to helping parents, teachers and child thrive. With my guidance and your unwavering determination, we can pave the way for a child's success and create a brighter future filled with possibilities.
In the 25 years of specializing in “out of the box” children
I REALIZED THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO HELP THE CHILDREN
…and that’s working with the parents. This makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
After working as an occupational therapist, being an adjunct faculty and even writing the best selling book, On the Road To Handwriting Success, on how to help “out of the box” children, I realized that as a therapist I did everything in my power to support the child. However, the missing piece was the work that needed to be done with the parents. Parents need guidance, support and empowerment to advocate and be the most effective parents. Becoming a certified parent coach was the only logical step.
Parents were not being guided and supported to ensure the child’s success at home! The family dynamic was not being addressed to create a holistic approach! Even more, the parents were going through an inner turmoil, full of guilt and anxiety.
All the work the kids did with me at the office was sometimes unraveled by the parents, who are only doing their best, but don’t have the knowledge, resources and confidence to deal with the unique challenges faced when parenting an “out of the box” kid.
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.”

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I have had the opportunity to collaborate about shared clients with Dr. Carol and also observe her interactions and skills working with many students of varying ages and diagnoses. It has been instrumental in my skill development as a pediatric therapist to be able to gain insight and ideas from Dr. Carol and her experiences in the field of Occupational Therapy.
She is a dedicated, hardworking therapist and creatively structures her sessions to flexibly meet the individual needs of each child she works with. Dr. Carol often goes out of her way to support colleagues, teachers, students, and families. I have witnessed amazing progress in her clients and welcome chances to brainstorm ideas and share techniques across our fields to treat each child uniquely and entirely.

You've really helped me when I didn't know what to do. This is such a hard role to be a parent of a special child - I went from having PTSD and now I can actually manage my days, have a peaceful relationship and a more concrete plan for the future. Thank you Dr Carol for your invaluable support during these preschool year where the teachers were tough and not supportive.
I now stand up for the best outcome for Mason!
