Unique care, tailored to you and your baby
Hands-On Support Services
Infant Massage
This infant massage series includes four 45-60 minute sessions, typically spaced out over four weeks, though we can adjust the schedule to best fit your family’s needs. Together, we’ll move through the massage gradually, giving both you and your baby time to become comfortable and confident with each new step.
Each session focuses on different areas of the body and builds on the previous one, allowing the experience to stay gentle and supportive of your baby’s cues and regulation. By the final session, you’ll feel more comfortable incorporating the techniques into a full-body massage routine that fits naturally into your daily life. Sessions are individualized to your baby’s needs and temperament, while still keeping the experience centered on connection.

“Ask an OT” Mini Session
This 20-minute virtual session offers parents a supportive space to ask questions, troubleshoot concerns, and receive practical, occupational therapy-informed guidance tailored to daily life with your baby. Whether you’re wondering about feeding, routines, development, sensory regulation, tummy time, play, or simply looking for reassurance, this session is designed to provide thoughtful support without the commitment of a full consultation.
Mini sessions are focused on one to two concerns and are ideal for parents seeking quick guidance, clarity, or next-step recommendations.
Virtual: $35
The H(OT)line
The Hotline is a personalized support service that combines one-on-one virtual consultation with guided follow-up care. This offering includes two 30-minute virtual sessions, which can be scheduled at any point in your motherhood journey and spaced in a way that best meets your needs.
(For example, you may use one session in the newborn stage for sleep hygiene and routines, and save the second for starting solids or adjusting to new developmental changes).
During each session, we’ll create practical, individualized strategies related to…
Feeding
Development
Routines
Maternal well-being
And more!
Following each session, you’ll receive 7 days of continued support through secure messaging, where you’re welcome to share questions, updates, or seek reassurance as you implement changes in your daily life. Messages may be sent at any time and will be responded to during business hours. This service is designed to provide encouragement, education, and clinical insight, and is not intended for urgent or emergency concerns.
