Our 
Story

Hands in Motion OT was founded in 2025 by two therapists, Michelle and Dr. Erin, who set out to do things differently.

 

​

Frustrated by the rigid time limits and impersonal feel of large therapy chains, they envisioned a practice built around genuine connection — one where children and families feel supported and fully heard.

​

Dr. Erin is one of just 6,000 certified hand therapists in the U.S., with expertise in orthopedics and developmental anatomy. Michelle brings years of experience across school-based, home, and clinical settings, with a talent for adapting everyday activities to build real independence.​​

​

Together, they created Hands in Motion OT

to offer the kind of personal, concierge-style care they always believed families deserved.​​​

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy (OT) helps children build the skills they need to take part in everyday life, from handwriting and self-care to sports and play.

 

Rather than focusing on one skill in isolation, OT looks at the whole child:

  • motor coordination, sensory processing, visual perceptual skills, and body awareness, and how they work together to support real, purposeful tasks.

 

We believe in taking a holistic approach to identify the underlying deficits that may be limiting growth and development. From there, we craft tailored therapy interventions to help you thrive.

​

Our goal is simple:

Helping your child do more, with confidence, in the moments that matter most.

"Hands are the instruments of the mind."
