Amie Hood's profile

Amie Hood

Amie is a highly experienced Occupational Therapist who qualified from St Loye’s School of Health Studies in 2006. She began her career completing an acute hospital rotation, developing strong clinical foundations across a range of medical and surgical settings. Amie went on to specialise in neurology, working within acute NHS hospitals and providing specialist outreach for individuals with Motor Neurone Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and other complex neurological conditions. Her work in these services strengthened her expertise in functional assessment, postural needs, cognitive rehabilitation and long-term condition management.

Amie later joined NHS community services, delivering stroke rehabilitation and supporting clients to regain skills, independence and confidence within their own environments. This experience enabled her to develop a highly holistic approach, understanding how clinical need, home life and community access intersect to shape functional outcomes.

Following many years in adult services, Amie transitioned into children’s practice and now works privately with neurodiverse children and young people. She has worked in several special schools, using her cross-sector experience to appreciate the wide range of sensory, physical, cognitive and emotional needs that influence daily participation. Amie recently completed her Ayres Sensory Integration training at Sheffield Hallam University, further strengthening her assessment and intervention skills for children with sensory processing differences.

Alongside her clinical work, Amie runs inclusive gymnastics sessions for children with SEND, combining therapeutic insight with motivating movement-based activities. She remains passionate about enabling individuals of all ages to engage meaningfully in everyday life, drawing on her extensive experience to provide thoughtful, person-centred and evidence-informed support.
