About Us

My name is Davis Carmack. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology then went on to get a doctorate degree in occupational therapy. I am so passionate about occupational therapy because I get to be a professional problem solver and play all day! I love to work with families to understand and identify supports and strategies based on each child’s individual differences. My specific areas of interest are sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive functioning, social participation, gross and fine motor development. I focus on a developmental, holistic, family-centered approach to create a specific and individualized  treatment plan. My ultimate goal is to support your child and family no matter where you are. I will be offering individual occupational therapy services and kids yoga classes.

When I’m not working, you might find my husband and I spoiling our pets. We have two cats Pumpkin and Casper and a big puppy named Hazelnut. If I’m not at home with my family, you might find me taking or teaching a yoga class. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

Hi! My name is Hannah Cole, and I’m originally from Ankeny, Iowa. I earned both my Bachelor of Science and Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Drake University.

I love the field of occupational therapy because it allows me to support children in growing their confidence, independence, and connection with others through meaningful, play-based experiences. I’m passionate about creating a space where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. My areas of interest include sensory integration, neurodiversity-affirming practices, emotional regulation, and developing social and play skills in children.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading books, and being outside as much as possible! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your family.

My name is Macy Ticknor. I earned my doctorate in occupational therapy from the College of Saint Mary in Omaha, NE. I love the unique lens I get to put on as an occupational therapist, as I get to look at the whole person and take into account all areas that impact a person, not just one barrier. I currently serve a diverse patient population—from infants to older adults—both in a rural health setting and here at Kids Lead, where every day brings a new opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

While I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages and diagnoses, I hold a special place in my heart for the pediatric population. I have an interest in sensory processing and looking at the way our bodies interpret and process various sensory inputs. I thrive on building genuine relationships with the children I work with, empowering them to develop the skills that matter most to them—whether it's tying their shoes, developing play skills, or confidently navigating their world.

At Kids Lead, we believe that children always do well when they can. We believe that therapy can be fun for the whole family. Our mission is to support not only kids, but their families as kids develop, change, and grow. 

Our goal is to provide pediatric occupational therapy evaluations and treatments that are thoughtful and intentional. We can work together to understand your child's behaviors and needs. We want every family to feel like they have the tools they need to support their children-no matter what this support looks like.
