Welcome to Hands in Motion OT!
We focus on increasing your child's ability to use their hands for purposeful tasks, while also training you as the parent.
We incorporate elements of:
sensory integration
play
fine/gross motor coordination
engaging activities
therapeutic exercises
These elements help your child develop the motor skills necessary for:
handwriting
sports
self-care
etc.
Our concierge-style model allows therapy to take place in your home, pre-school, or daycare so we can better understand your child's routines and challenges leading to more meaningful, real-life outcomes.

Michelle received her master's degree from The University of Washington. With experience in a variety of settings including as a school-based OT, a homeschool parent, and in orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation, she has a deep understanding of how to break down, analyze, and adapt activities to increase independence and quality of life.
