👩‍🎓 Kierstin Hamlin, MS, OTR/L, is a pediatric occupational therapist with a passion for honoring the innate intelligence of nervous system development.

🐣 She currently juggles adult counselling services and clients in early intervention (birth - 3 years old), walking alongside families in the most foundational stages of growth and development.

🌱An artist at heart and a clinician by trade, Kierstin carefully created the Root & Rise card deck as a bridge between evidence-based practice and intuitive exploration.

🧠 Her work blends neuro-developmental frameworks with a science- and soul-led intention: to offer tools for reflection, co-regulation, and safety that begin at the root.

As a graduate of Avon High School with Academic Honors, she pursued her love of biology at 🧡 Indiana University 🤍 before earning her Master’s in Occupational Therapy from Indiana State University.

🍀 When she’s not working with families or dreaming up new projects, she’s raising her daughter, dancing in the kitchen, or rearranging something.
