Putting the Pieces of Motherhood Together with Occupational Therapy | Birth, Baby! Ep.40

How is Occupational Therapy helpful for new parents? And what the heck is it? This is something we hadn't even considered until speaking with Matrescence OT, but it makes so much sense! Tune in to learn about how to put the pieces of motherhood together with occupational therapy with Gayle. Gayle Schwee is a Filipinx-American, born and raised Texan, board-certified occupational therapist, and Co-Founder of Matrescence Occupational Therapy. Just as the pandemic shut down the world, Gayle birthed her first child. Her passion for advocating and empowering birthing individuals through the transition from pregnancy to parenthood was then ignited. Certified in Perinatal Mental Health, she commits to increasing awareness and offering direct support for those affected by Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs). Her goal is to empower moms to find strength within themselves to do what they want, need, and have to do.
