I'm Amy Pandya,  I've devoted the last 30 years of my life to the world of healthcare. For the past 12 years, I've proudly served as an Advanced Practice Provider, a role that has allowed me to combine my expertise with a genuine sense of compassion and empathy.

My journey in healthcare has taken me through diverse realms, from school-based health to my current focus on providing comfort to hospice patients. Beyond the medical setting, I'm a proud wife and mother to two wonderful school-age children, and it's rounded out by our energetic Australian Shepherd.

Maine is not just where I live; it's a part of who I am. Growing up here has instilled in me a deep connection to the community, and I strive to give back in meaningful ways. My roots in this state run deep, and I find immense joy in spending time outdoors with my family, embracing the natural beauty that surrounds us.

One of my greatest passions is working with kids and helping them learn and grow with mindfulness. It's a fulfilling aspect of my life that aligns with my belief in the transformative power of resilience and self-awareness, particularly during the formative years.

My Connect Kids Story:

In the early months of 2023, Jill presented me with her vision for Connect Kids, and as we delved into the passion driving this endeavor—empowering children to build social-emotional skills—I found my enthusiasm growing. I made the decision to partner with Jill due to her background in leadership and well-thought-out approach to business development. Collaboratively, over the past year, we have meticulously crafted a curriculum that we firmly believe has the power to instigate meaningful change.
