Hi, I am Ami Alford. I am an Occupational Therapy Practitioner who has spent the past 8 years working for the largest inpatient skilled nursing facilities in Greater Cincinnati. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping my patients rehabilitate by focusing on their individual needs and goals. I have experience in providing one-on-one therapy sessions as well as managing group therapy sessions. I have always been passionate about advocating for my patients as they navigate our complex healthcare system. The motivation to start Balance in Motion was driven by my passion for my patients. My services were regularly limited by the strict guidelines of insurance companies, and patients were given minimal access to services that were necessary for them to maintain their independence. I love the aging adult population, and I am motivated by being able to help them stay independent for as long as possible. I want to help improve quality of life while also assisting my patients in sustaining their recreational activities. I use my fun, positive attitude and tireless energy to encourage my patients to work hard and reach their goals. I am blessed with my supportive husband and fur baby. In my spare time, I enjoy playing sand volleyball, gardening, hiking, and traveling.
