This week’s Noteworthy Neighbor is Breda Annis!

Since 2013, Breda has dedicated herself to the Foxborough community as an educator, mentor and advocate for students. As a teacher at the Ahern Middle School, she is committed to ensuring every student feels safe, supported and valued while helping them grow into confident learners. In addition to teaching, she serves as co-coordinator of the Ahern WEB Program, a Rise Up teacher in the school's METCO program, a member of the district's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee and as an advisor for both the ski club and cooking club.

“Giving back to the community of Foxborough is my way of trying to make this little corner of the world an even nicer, more welcoming place where everyone belongs,” Breda said. “The ability to make a difference in at least one child's day is motivation enough. This is my calling. I cannot imagine doing anything else. I was quite literally born to be a teacher.”

This week’s is eight-year resident Dr. Maya Lespinasse!

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Maya operates How’s Your Pelvis? Physical Therapy & Wellness, a boutique health and wellness practice specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy for women, where she works with patients dealing with pelvic pain, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, endometriosis and more. She opened the practice in 2025 after recognizing a need for more individualized, personal and specialized pelvic healthcare for patients in the Foxborough area. Through her practice, Maya hopes to provide an environment where patients are heard, comfortable and empowered throughout their journey.
“I want it to be a place where people feel comfortable talking about topics that can sometimes be difficult or embarrassing, where they feel respected and heard, and where everyone feels welcome regardless of their age, background, race, body size, stage of life or health history,” Maya said. “Pelvic health is something that many people struggle with silently, and I wanted to create a space where people in Foxborough and the surrounding communities could access knowledgeable and compassionate care close to home.”

Now, as a new retiree, I look forward to taking part in the programs still to come.”
