As someone deeply committed to growing and strengthening the occupational therapy workforce in maternal, perinatal, and women’s health, I’ve compiled this list of professional development opportunities to support other clinicians on their journey.

This resource brings together a wide range of training options across key areas such as:

• Perinatal and infant mental health

• Trauma-informed care

• Somatic and body-based therapies

• Sensory integration and modulation

• Occupational therapy theory and practice frameworks

• Matrescence, identity, and transitions

• Nervous system regulation and embodiment

It’s designed to offer inspiration, practical guidance, and direction for occupational therapists—and other health professionals—who are working with, or want to begin working with, mothers and birthing people.

Whether you're a student, early-career OT, or a seasoned clinician seeking to expand your scope, this evolving list is here to support you in finding learning pathways that align with your values, interests, and clinical goals.

By sharing this, I hope to foster a strong, well-supported network of professionals who are equipped to meet the needs of mothers and families with compassion, skill, and integrity.
