A Team Built for Families Like Yours

A lifelong Montanan with more than 10 years in pediatric occupational therapy. Her favorite part of the job is working with the intense, active kids who keep her thinking outside the box and finding creative solutions that work at school, at home, and out in the community. Along with her Occupational Therapy Assistant degree, Lindsey holds a degree in Psychology, giving her an extra perspective when supporting kids and their families. Outside Wild Roots she runs her nonprofit, Misfit Toys, which provides free Christmas gifts to kids and supports Discovery Field School and its non-traditional approach to education — and, of course, spends time with her family.

Kyla has deep family roots in Eastern Montana. She met her husband while they were both in OT school in North Dakota, and after working and exploring different parts of the country they made their way back home to Montana to build their careers and their family. With more than 10 years of experience, her true passion is working with the 0–5 population and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to help little ones and their families thrive — with continued training in sensory processing and modulation, feeding, sleep, primitive reflex integration, NICU care, vision, and NDT. Outside the clinic she is happily occupied with all the “occupations” of mothering young children, getting outside, and exploring Montana with her husband and extended family.

Originally from South Dakota, Kendra made her way to Montana to earn her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy — and thankfully, she decided to stay! Kendra's career in pediatrics perfectly matches her energy, creativity, and love of helping kids. She is an SOS-trained feeding therapist with additional training and certification in Early Intervention and Sensory Integration through Harkla. When she's not at Wild Roots, you'll likely find Kendra training for her next endurance event or staying busy and active with her young family. She loves being outdoors, embracing the Montana lifestyle, and making the most of this busy season of life!
