Learning to love motherhood.



Maternal Insights is an integrative occupational therapy practiced focused exclusively on maternal health, wellness and development. We are dedicated to teaching pregnant and post-partum women, as well as non-birth parents and partners, how to make the transition to parenthood healthier, easier, and more fulfilling for everyone. Having a baby is a life-changing experience. We are here to help you adjust to your new body, new baby, and new world so you can live your new life to its fullest.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a skilled health, rehabilitation, and educational service that helps people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations).

Occupational Therapists (OTs) can work with children and their families to help them succeed in these activities throughout the day.

OTs also help with basic challenges faced by most families, from creating morning routines to choosing appropriate toys, and from addressing physical limitations resulting from health conditions to developing health habits.

Maternal Insights provides a set of unique services to support women as they transition to the role of motherhood.

Maternal Insights provides education and support to guide and empower women and their families during the major life transition to parenthood. Our vision is to help women to feel empowered, informed, and confident in achieving health and balance for themselves and their families.

We offer general education classes for expectant and new mothers; individualized occupational therapy consultation services; and professional education, outreach, and research on  maternal health practices.

What created Maternal Insights?

Lee Ann Kern and Mara Podvey, co-owners of Maternal Insights, are occupational therapists and mothers who have spent their careers helping with children and their families to life to its fullest through developing skills and strategies to deal with life’s challenges.

Lee Ann and Mara's own personal experiences with motherhood, as well as professional experiences working with families, taught them that occupational therapists have unique skills to assist with the transition to parenthood.

Maternal Insights offers expertise to mothers through workshops, consultation, and professional education.

Contact Us

Our unique practice model means we don't have a physical location, just a mailing address. We run our workshops at our partners' sites, and we do our individual consultations in your home. You don't have to go anywhere, or take your baby anywhere, to get the help you need! We believe that you will get more out of a consultation in your every day living space than you would in the best office space.
