How I can support you
Every journey is unique. At Baybreeze Therapy, I walk alongside you to explore what matters most in your daily life, and together we create gentle, practical strategies to support your wellbeing.
Body connection
Support to better understand and reconnect with your body, including developing interoceptive awareness and, where appropriate, hands-on external work. This may include:
- Breathing and posture
- Body Awareness
- Pelvic health concerns
- Bowel and bladder difficulties
- Menstrual cycle challenges
- Pelvic, hip and lower back pain and the occupations they impact
- Disconnection from body and self
- Recovery from pregnancy and birth
My approach to women's health is a unique occupational therapy perspective. I focus on how physical, emotional, sensory and nervous system responses can affect your daily life and practical strategies to support participation.
Understand your brain and nervous system
Support to understand your individual sensory processing needs, interoceptive awareness, how your nervous system responds, the support needs of neurodivergence and strategies to support regulation. This may include:
- Sensory processing and modulation
- Nervous system education and regulation strategies
- Interoceptive awareness (internal body signals)
- Executive functioning support
- Transitions, habits and routines
Your body and brain are further shaped through your unique journey and experiences, I help to honour this through a strengths-based approach whilst also supporting practical strategies to make things feel easier, less overwhelming and promote engagement in meaningful activities.
Perinatal and Matrescence support
Support through periods of significant change during motherhood journey which includes:
- Pre-conception
- Pregnancy
- Birth planning from an occupational therapy perspective considering routines, sensory needs, coping strategies, environment and participation
- Postpartum
- C-section occupational therapy support
- Motherhood
- Matrescence
- Honouring the profound shift in identity, roles and occupations
- Adapting routines and habits
- Strategies to care for your own needs alongside your mothering role
Your journey through motherhood can be isolating, messy and disconnected. I help you recover physically, mentally and emotionally to hold you while you navigate this significant period in your life.
Everyday Life
An occupation is anything you do to occupy your time. As an occupational therapist, a core part of what I do is to support people participating in the everyday occupations they want, need or are expected to do which may include:
- Establishing habits and routines
- Self-care including showering, toileting and dressing
- Sleep and rest
- Household tasks
- Executive functions to support planning, initiative, problem solving, etc
- Adaptations through the environment, equipment or changing the task
I consider the ways your challenges are impacting your daily activities and support you with strategies to allow you to re-engage.
Your journey will look different to anyone else’s and that’s the beauty of occupational therapy. Together, we focus on what’s most important to you.
