Here at The Nurtured OT we do things a little differently, because:

Every child deserves the right to feel safe, understood, and supported, so that they can experience their world with curiosity and confidence. They deserve support that honours who they are, not who they are expected to be.

Every mother deserves support through the transition into parenthood, to know that they are not alone, and that they are raising a new version of themself, along with raising their child .

Every parent deserves to feel seen, held, and supported — not just expected to cope. They deserve to know that they do not have to hold it all together alone. They deserve support that feels gentle, realistic, and sustainable

Every family as a whole deserves support that feels compassionate, and judgement-free, a space where they feel seen, supported, capable.

Nurturing little hearts and the mothers, parents and families raising them.

Hi, I’m Steph!

Welcome to The Nurtured OT! We are so glad you are here.

I am Steph - passionate Occupational Therapist, Mum of 2 young girls and the founder and Director here at The Nurtured OT.

The Nurtured OT came to life after a simple but powerful vision — to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing for families. As a Mum myself, I experienced firsthand the significant beauty and the incredible challenges that come with navigating motherhood for the first time, whilst also supporting our children through these important first days, weeks and years of their life. My own journey highlighted just how powerful it is to feel seen, supported, and understood throughout the journey.

We hope The Nurtured OT feels like a place where you and your family can feel truly seen, supported, and understood.

A place where children are understood for who they are, parents feel supported in the journey they are navigating, and families are met with compassion, connection, and care.

What is
Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapists support people to participate in the everyday activities that are meaningful to them. For children, this might include playing, learning, building relationships, developing independence, and engaging in daily routines. For mothers and parents, it can involve navigating the transition to parenthood, finding confidence in their role, creating sustainable routines, and supporting family wellbeing.

Early Childhood Occupational Therapy

The early years of a child’s life are full of growth, discovery, and big developmental leaps. Sometimes children may need a little extra support along the way — and that’s where our team at The Nurtured OT can offer you support.

Our occupational therapy services for motherhood focuses on nurturing you — the woman behind the mother.  Grounded in principles of matrescence, attachment, regulation, sensory support and holistic wellbeing, and beyond.
