I am so delighted to have you here, I’m Sarah. I am a Matrescence Reveller and an OT for Mothers. I am here to support you 〰️as a Mental Health Occupational Therapist and a mother alongside you. As the story goes, I entered into motherhood totally unprepared for the enormous transformation that was unfolding. I lost my footing with who I was, and I measured my performance as a mother against a set of expectations that were not my own. Whilst I love and adore being a mother, I also feel anger, annoyance, and overwhelm. Just as I feel joy, elation, and pride. This experience is all too common for mothers, but it’s not something that many people are willing to share. Concerned with feelings of shame or guilt for feeling like this. But here is the thing, it is normal and it is valid. And when we conform to the silence, it contributes to the silencing. Entering motherhood is stepping into a life never lived before. It’s a lifelong transformation. As an OT, this experience is considered holistically and understood as more than just the Mother, but her environment, her occupations, and the demands of these. The disruption to the activities we experience as mothers has the potential to adversely impact our health and well-being. Occupational Therapy is a person-centered and holistic practice focused on improving a person’s quality of life through engagement in meaningful activities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615afb8c7e45af6ea1c14f8d/de4ce0f2-9567-451a-94d2-cdf2b53bc532/Bianca_Kate_Photography_Ashton-030.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://ocelot-caterpillar-s2lb.squarespace.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-06-01 https://ocelot-caterpillar-s2lb.squarespace.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2024-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615afb8c7e45af6ea1c14f8d/1687838956244-DEPR8Y8LZYUZGCKRK2DA/image-asset.jpeg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615afb8c7e45af6ea1c14f8d/1641221867020-UGKPUWF6LBZ15DFYF82O/Bianca_Kate_Photography_Ashton-043.jpg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615afb8c7e45af6ea1c14f8d/1685586379527-HSGOQV58E094UMN3RUKY/image-asset.jpeg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615afb8c7e45af6ea1c14f8d/1685586419369-R9SXY5JP8142C5RZG0ZL/image-asset.jpeg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://ocelot-caterpillar-s2lb.squarespace.com/home-page daily 1.0 2024-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615afb8c7e45af6ea1c14f8d/ba7a42e7-7860-4e25-a913-211259d03fab/Bianca_Kate_Photography_Ashton-201.jpg Home Page - Supporting the mental health of mothers.
