Maternal Health OT
Support for Your Perinatal Journey
Because your preparation and recovery matter.
Parenthood changes everything—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Whether you’re pregnant, recovering, or adjusting to life with your baby, you don’t have to do it alone.
As a maternal health occupational therapist, I help you:
Prepare for pregnancy and birth
Recover from birth
Navigate daily care for you and your baby (co-occupations)
Manage stress, sleep, and sensory overwhelm
Build real-life routines that fit your world
Grow confidence in your new role
Whether this is your first baby, you’re balancing older children, or facing NICU challenges, I offer practical, judgment-free support tailored just for you.
Let’s create a perinatal plan that supports your whole self—body, mind, and identity.
-
Occupational therapy (OT) for perinatal parents supports your adjustment throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—physically, emotionally, and practically.
We start with a comprehensive evaluation to get to know you: your pregnancy and birth story, support system, challenges, routines, and goals. You’ll also complete a few brief questionnaires to guide our work.
From there, every session is tailored to your needs, which might include:
Infant care support (feeding, babywearing, soothing)
Managing physical pain or fatigue related to pregnancy or birth
Navigating overwhelm, mood changes, or anxiety
Adapting routines to fit your energy and recovery
Sensory strategies and mental health-informed care
Education on infant development and co-regulation
Returning to meaningful activities and roles
Whether you’re feeling stuck, sore, overstimulated, or unsure—this is personalized, judgment-free support designed to meet you where you are.
-
When a parent struggles physically, mentally, or emotionally during pregnancy or postpartum, it affects the whole family.
Research shows perinatal maternal health directly impacts:
Infant development
Sleep and feeding
Attachment and bonding
Emotional regulation
Supporting you supports your baby, too.
-
These are shared daily activities you do with your baby, like:
Feeding (breast or bottle)
Soothing and sleeping
Diapering and bathing
Playing and engaging
OT helps make these smoother, more manageable, and more meaningful—for both of you.
-
Nope! This support is for anyone feeling:
Overwhelmed or exhausted during pregnancy or postpartum
Unsure how to care for baby or self
Disconnected from their identity
Pressured by routines or return-to-work plans
Even if everything “looks fine” on paper, you deserve support.
-
Parents navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum challenges
Parents of babies in the NICU or Level 2 nursery
People recovering from challenging births
Those with pre-existing physical or mental health conditions
Anyone experiencing perinatal depression, anxiety, or mood shifts
Parents adjusting to new routines or big life transitions
-
You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to get support.
Occupational therapy can help before, during, or after pregnancy—whether things feel overwhelming, or you just want to feel more like yourself again.
Reach out if you’re:
Feeling exhausted, anxious, or stuck
Struggling with routines or daily tasks
Recovering from a difficult birth
Not sure how to care for your baby or yourself
Feeling disconnected from your identity
Wondering if what you’re feeling is “normal”
If you're asking, "Is this enough to get help?"—it is.
You deserve support that meets you where you are. -
I don’t bill insurance directly. This allows me to provide flexible, personalized care without insurance limitations.
I do accept HSA/FSA payments.
If cost is a concern, please reach out—I’m happy to discuss options. Your well-being matters, and support should be accessible.
-
Yes! I offer virtual sessions for clients who prefer or need care from home.
Whether you're recovering from birth, balancing a newborn’s schedule, or just want the convenience—you can access support from anywhere in a calm, judgment-free space.
