“Elissa is simply the best at what she does! She is so patient, encouraging and showed genuine care while teaching our 6-year-old to ride a bike. What felt like a huge, scary challenge quickly became a confidence-building experience because of her calm guidance and positive energy. Watching our daughter ride independently—beaming with pride—was something we’ll never forget. If you get the chance to work with Elissa- do it, you will not regret it!”

“Had the greatest experience with Elissa, “The Bike Lady”. She’s a trained Pediatric OT and made my 9 year old granddaughter feel comfortable and positive as soon as they met! My granddaughter had several prior attempts that were unsuccessful at learning to ride and really had given up. But in just a few short sessions she was riding and felt fabulous! It was a joy working with “The Bike Lady”!!!”

“I cannot recommend Elissa enough! I discovered her over a year ago when my husband and I nearly gave up trying to teach our 6 year old to ride a bike. I didn’t even know an instructor like this existed, but thanks to mom groups on Facebook, I found that she does in fact exist! Elissa was quick to schedule and basically guaranteed a rider. She did not disappoint! Not only did my fearful rider learn, but she was so confident once riding! I didn’t think twice when it came to my younger child learning to ride. I contacted Elissa and I now have 2 very competent, happy riders thanks to her and her magical ways!”

“Elissa is a MASTER at calmly, kindly and efficiently teaching littles ones to ride bikes. Also as a pediatric OT she has years of history working with super sensors and numerous-divergent kids which only makes her more understanding and patient. We tried miserably on our own to teach her which only resulted in many sore backs and tantrums. After that we found Elissa, who has been referred to us by another mom. It took one 30 min session and my 6 year old had the basics down. After a second session, she was independently and confidentially riding on her own. She has not needed any instruction or reminders since!! I cannot recommend Elissa more highly.”

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Elissa for about four years. She has supported our child primarily with occupational therapy focused on handwriting, and also helped her build the confidence to ride her bike independently. Our daughter genuinely looks forward to her sessions each week. Elissa is incredibly patient and has a wonderful ability to make every activity engaging and fun. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she has had on our child’s growth and confidence!”
