H.O.M.E. MAMA

This is a postpartum support group led by a PSI perinatal mental health certified occupational therapist. I am well positioned to support new mothers as they adjust to this unique stage of life. I will use a holistic approach to help members navigate new routines and daily “occupations” to promote health, well-being, and meaning in this new chapter of life.

Home Visit offering orthopedic rehabilitation of injuries/pain in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand (e.g. "Mommy's Wrist" or carpal tunnel syndrome), and ergonomic assessments to support better body mechanics, joint protection, during infant care tasks and baby handling.

Motherhood is hard. As an occupational therapist I use a holistic approach through everyday life activities (occupations) to promote health, well-being, and ability to engage in meaningful activities in your life. As a certified perinatal mental health professional (PMH-C) I have specialized training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. I am here to support you as you adjust to this unique stage of life. I can help ease your transition into motherhood by developing a plan that feels doable, meaningful, and unique to you.

In this class, a clinical occupational therapist will guide you through movement exercises focused on posture, functional strength, and mobility, to condition and support your body in pregnancy and the postpartum. Class will include an active warmup, strengthening, and stretching, and exercises may be modified as needed for the individual.
