Description

We did it, we found a mom's new best friend and most hidden secret.  In this episode, we discover how an occupational therapist can support new moms from pregnancy to postpartum.    This is highly underutilized support that many moms are not familiar with and absolutely should be!  In this episode, we dive right in with expert Alexis Joelle, an Occupational Therapist, about what an Occupational Therapist is and how they can help every new mom.  

Alexis Joelle MS. OTR/L, a hospital-based occupational therapist, momma, and CEO of AJoelle Consulting LLC, utilizes her skills to serve as a consultant to occupational therapy (OT) providers - from student to entrepreneur. She guides practitioners through the process of designing their ideal career as well as navigating the challenges of the industry. Alexis also has a passion for making OT accessible globally to consumers. Her ultimate vision is to help decrease hospitalizations while maintaining access to occupations and supporting the quality of life for everyday humans.
