Your True Self LLC was born out of a dream by the founder, Michael Dezmin, an Occupational Therapist in the Boston, MA area. Mike had grown up serving communities via lifeguarding, camp counseling, swim instructing, and other jobs with a child development focus. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Exercise Science, a Minor in Psychology, and Masters in Occupational Therapy.

 

After years of specialization in pediatric Occupational Therapy, Mike seized the opportunity to start a small business focused on empowering children in the aquatic environment.  After experiences with many business models and various leadership techniques, he dreamt of creating a system/organization where one’s personal gifts could flourish. The foundations of the organization were based on developing healthy, loving relationships designed to deeply understand families and help individuals achieve their highest potential. Swimming and Aquatic Occupational Therapy were the initial services offered, but the organization now provides a multitude of options for clients (sports, home OT, winter activities, school OT, and more).

 

Your True Self as an organization is designed to foster personal growth for all who work there through healthy relationships, healthy organizational culture (fun, play, adventure), and open mindedness. Each employee is valued for their unique abilities and embraced for the gifts that they contribute to this world. It is with the strong and supportive relationships within the organization that employees go out into the community to foster healthy relationships with their clients and families.
