7. Why you need a Postpartum Occupational Therapist. How OT can support you as a new Mother with Motherhood OT Amy Fitzell | Motherhood and Disability
<p>Today I am bringing you an incredible chat with the amazing Amy Fitzell. Amy is an Occupational therapist who has primarily worked with families and children, but has recently moved into the postpartum space where she brings her Occupational knowledge and experience to serve new mothers as they navigate this new season of their lives. It was when Amy became a mother herself she realised where specifically her passion lay and has launched her business the motherhood OT. I really wanted to bring Amy onto the podcast because I just knew she would bring so much wisdom and practical things to consider as a new mum or mum-to-be. In the episode Amy shares with us: Some of the things we talk about in this episode are: How Amy got into Occupational Therapy and why she loves it. From working with families to working with new mothers. Her experience after she herself became a mum and realised the transformation that occurs when women become mothers. Her identity, experience of her body etc. What OTactually is. Deep dive into how OT plays a role in postpartum space. What’s a life flow enabler? Why it’s important to consider engaging an OT for your postpartum season and how all new mothers can benefit. What can disabled mums-to-be think about and consider to empower themselves for when they are faced with unhelpful and disapproval from the medical professional. How we can use social media to find others who are experiencing similar challenges or lifestyle and who parent in the ways that feel aligned with you. We talk about our co-sleeping experience, and how it can be a great experience depending on your individual circumstances (as it isn’t for everyone). Ergonomics and new baby considerations and some really great practical tips. Transitions from woman to mother, Matresence deep dive. </p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
