AIMIE'S STORY
Growing up, Aimie Epoch spent many years at the rink. She got her USFSA Double Gold Medals in 2010 and retired shortly after after getting injured. Aimie enjoyed spinning the most!
After navigating years of food and body image issues, Aimie became increasingly passionate about eating disorder prevention in aesthetic sports and the importance of prioritizing both physical and mental health.
She began working as a Wellness & Health Coach. Following the growing awareness of the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse of young gymnasts and skaters, Aimie realized she wanted to write a book on prioritizing athlete welfare in aesthetic sports. Her book, Promoting Athlete Welfare in Aesthetic Sports, was released in May of 2023.
When not working or reading up on the latest research in the field, Aimie likes to watch crime documentaries, journal, spend time with family, and have art days with her friends.
