Women and Infants Long-Term Development- WILD OT

Women and Infants Long-Term Development- WILD OT We provide occupational therapy (OT) services to women during pregnancy/postpartum and infants (0-3 However, they only receive one postpartum visit at 6 weeks.

Our women’s and infant’s occupational therapist specializes in pregnant/postpartum pelvic floor therapy (trained through Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute), women’s health, infant development, premature infant development, and craniosacral therapy (trained through the Upledger Institute). During pregnancy, many women receive prenatal care consisting of approximately 15 prenatal visits. Our goal is to provide additional services that are much needed for every woman during pregnancy and while recovering from delivery (vaginal or c-section) and for their infants. When infants have difficulty reaching their developmental milestones or demo signs of neurological impairment it is important to have a trusted practitioner that will guide you through exercises and an individualized treatment plan to optimize your child’s developmental outcome.

We have been MIA now for quite some time. In this day and age of being an entrepreneurial, small business owner, social media is one of the biggest ways to reach your audience, educate, share upcoming classes/events, and be present. But for me, social media is the FIRST thing to go when I’m overwhelmed. I often feel like I can’t show up for myself every single day when life gets busy, if I’m over here sitting on my phone trying to show up on social media.

So…. Here’s what we’ve been up to:
1) almost 1 month ago my 7 month old daughter, my mom , and myself headed out for a wild adventure in Guatemala (more to come on this later)
2) We met .reasons and Maddie from in Guatemala for an immersive, interdisciplinary, humanitarian maternal/infant trip
3) Josie loved the no-car-seat life and lived wild and free in my arms for 10 days!
4) Josie learned Spanish from the Guatemalan ladies
5) I met my business partner of .ot in Guatemala. We have known each other virtually for almost 2 years
6) and I taught midwives in Guatemala
7) my mom and I celebrated our shared birthday together in Guatemala and got matching tattoos to commemorate it
8) we walked miles around Antigua while I carried Josie on my hip in a ring sling because I am still dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction after her birth
9) we returned to Virginia for 3 days before my family joined us here for our annual family weekend
10) Josie spent so much time hanging with her cousin Victoria
11) 5 days after they left my husband left for an off-the-grid trip to Alaska for 9 days
12) so Josie got to sleep in bed with me so that we could get more sleep
13) my best friend flew in for the shortest weekend to be an extra set of hands, another brain, and basically my sanity
14) and we’ve spent the past 5 days trying new things to keep ourselves busy and occupied, hanging with our nanny, and trying to forget that our washer/dryer broke earlier this week

As a result…. I’m basically behind on every aspect of life, the business, emails, schedules, projects, and sleep!

Ever wondered why you want to sit in your car, with the music off, in the driveway at the end of the day?

Do you catch yours or staring at a blank wall?

Do you want to screaming when you hear a bird chirping outside your window?

It’s because motherhood is exceptionally overstimulating! Your nervous system can only take so much before it needs a break! Without a break you break!

What have you done to combat the overstimulation?
