Occupational Therapy Services

Individual sessions:

Some of the different areas that I can assist you with Occupational Therapy include:

  • Postpartum care planning: this includes putting routines into place to help you navigate the transition to becoming a mother.

  • Environment: sometimes simple adjustments to your home set-up can make caring for you and your baby easier.

  • Sensory processing, maternal distress & managing feelings of overwhelm.

  • Maternal mental health: maternal transition, maternal/infant attachment, self-compassion, enabling a mother to take part in creative or physical activities that are personally motivation, self care as well as support for the whole family.

  • Ergonomic education & bodyworks: postural factors, address overuse/exertion, repetition.

  • Psychosocial- relationships, family & finding a community.

  • Return to work: The transition back to work isn’t easy. Motherscape can help plan for this often disorienting time as you transition between roles as a mother and a professional using practical tools to make the journey as smooth as possible.

    OT online learning & workshops:

  • Occupational Therapy online learning allows you to carry out learning in relevant and meaningful areas at a time that suits you, and with greater flexibility than face-to-face formats. This is particularly useful as you navigate your role as mother.
