(Re)INTRODUCTION because It’s OT Month… and honestly, a lot has changed since I last introduced myself 🤍
Hi, I’m Michelle—pediatric occupational therapist and the heart behind LIVEly.
What started as a dream to combine my love for fitness and OT has grown into something much deeper over the years. I’ve had the opportunity to work with kids and families on building strength, coordination, and skills—but more importantly, confidence, regulation, and independence.
Because OT isn’t just about doing tasks better—
it’s about helping kids feel capable in their everyday lives.
My approach blends movement, connection, and function—meeting kids where they’re at and helping them succeed in ways that actually feel meaningful.
✨ coordination
✨ fine motor + visual motor skills
✨ emotional regulation
✨ confidence & independence
✨ Executive function skills
That’s what I care about most.
And if I’m being honest—my perspective has grown not just through my work, but through life too. I understand more now how important it is for kids (and families) to feel supported, not just “worked on.”
If you’re new here, I’m so glad you’re here. And if you’ve been here for a while—thank you for growing with me 🤍
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me:
🏋🏼♀️ at the gym
☕️ grabbing coffee
🌅 outside whenever I can
🤍 or spending time with my daughter and people I love
If you’re a parent or teacher looking for simple, real-life ways to support your child, you’re in the right place 🤍
