About Me

Hi, I’m Elissa Pullman aka The Bike Lady and the Fine Motor Mama. I have been a licensed occupational therapist since 2011 and am a Learning Without Tears Certified Handwriting Specialist.

I help kids build confidence through movement — whether that’s learning to ride a bike or strengthening the skills they need for handwriting and daily activities.

Over the years, I’ve worked with tons of children, and I’ve learned that kids don’t struggle because they don’t want to succeed — they struggle because their bodies aren’t always ready yet.

That’s why my approach is different.

As a pediatric OT, I combine bike instruction with developmental strategies to support strength, coordination, and confidence.

My goal isn’t just to teach kids how to ride — it’s to help them feel confident.
