ABOUT ME

Hey there, I’m Armi Grace.

I’m a licensed occupational therapist specializing in maternal health, postpartum recovery, and pediatric development. As a mom of three and a survivor of postpartum anxiety and depression, I understand firsthand how challenging this season can be—and how hard it is to find the right support, or to even know who to go to for the right support

I created Motivated OT Mama to help bridge the gap in care for moms and babies. I support families through pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood by providing evidence-based, holistic, and compassionate occupational therapy that’s rooted in both professional expertise and personal experience. I will always meet you where you are at and I highly value your input and feedback.

Whether you’re navigating infant feeding, postpartum healing, or your child’s developmental milestones, I’m here to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your role as a parent.

You don’t have to do this alone—you can still be a good parent and accept help.

Motherhood is hard, but getting support shouldn’t be.

to support, educate, and empower you in motherhood and your child's development.

Here to hold the mom, so mom can hold her baby.

My mission...

  • "Armi Grace is fantastic! You can tell she is just a caring person by nature, and it makes her such an awesome support system during my first pregnancy! Her background as a pediatric OT is also so helpful, as she can speak to early childcare things not just from personal experience, but also from professional experience. It really makes me feel so much more comfortable in knowing I’m getting the best advice. I would highly recommend her!"

    - R, first time mom

  • "I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my 3-month-old daughter received from Armi for her mild torticollis. This was my first time experiencing this situation, and Armi made bi-weekly visits, providing valuable help in the comfort of our home. From the very first session, she demonstrated a deep understanding and expertise in pediatric care, making us feel confident and reassured. Her gentle approach and patience were instrumental in my daughter’s progress over the next couple of months. She provided us with valuable exercises and tips, which made a noticeable difference in her condition. I highly recommend Armi for anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled occupational therapist. Thank you for your dedication and support!"

    - Seasoned Mom

  • "Armi Grace has been an invaluable resource as I have navigated my first pregnancy and my approach into motherhood. Her knowledge and expertise into not just the logistics of pregnancy and raising a child, but also the holistic and emotional side that I have been and will be experiencing has been really instrumental in me feeling more prepared for being a mom. I look forward to implementing the tools that she has taught me as I welcome our first child into the world, and it makes me feel more confident knowing that I have Armi Grace on my side to help with anything that comes my way!"

    - A, first time mom

  • "Motivated OT Mama (Armi Grace) has helped me navigate every stage of pre and post partum. Her support, resources, guides, and tips have been there for me when I needed them. Her business addresses a missing piece of medical care, which is the care and support every new mom needs. Including reminders to take time to care for yourself, and to know you are always part of a community. I would encourage every mom to seek out Armi Grace’s services!"

    - M, first time mom

  • "Armi has been a fabulous resource as I navigate pregnancy and then into delivery, post partum and beyond. She provides both the knowledge and insight of things we would not normally think of to prioritize and take care of. She uses both her experience as a mom and a OT to provide expertise and guidance. She values the mental and physical health of mommas. This time is both critical and invaluable, Armi reminds you to take care of yourself in addition to your child(ren) and family. Would absolutely recommend Armi and motivated OT Mama for pregnancy and postpartum support!"

    - J, first time mom

  • "I highly recommend Armi for all things pre/postpartum! I did a breastfeeding support session with her prior to having my baby, and she had so much valuable information to share. Armi has such a kind and calming demeanor and is clearly so passionate about her work! This really helped ease my anxiety, and I know she’ll be there to continue to support me in postpartum :)"

    - C, first time mom

  • "Armi is fantastic! She helped us navigate how to help our daughter’s torticollis and taught us a lot of great exercises to do with her. After a few weeks, improvement was already made! Armi was really patient and kind with our baby. She answered any questions we had and offered any additional help that she could including showing us how to use our new baby carrier. We highly recommend her!!

    - C, first time dad

  • "Armi was amazing and such a delightful person to assist with our baby. She was beyond knowledgeable with her oral movement and helping us navigate postpartum life. We had our baby's oral ties released and Armi assisted with all the next steps to ensure our baby's releases were a success. She even noticed unusual sounds our baby made that we thought were strange that other doctors said we're just noisy baby. We took her to ENT (Armi helped recommend some) and baby was diagnosed with a condition. I was so thankful for Armi's help and would recommend her to everyone. With each session we had, we gained new skills to do with our baby and keeping her on track with milestones by engaging body movements. Our baby is happy and thriving."
