Ep. 11 - Occupational Therapy vs. Chiropractic for Babies, with Jen Sekela, OTR/L

In this episode we chat with Jen Sekela, a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. Jen is wonderfully kind and has such a comforting, gentle energy. She and Teri answer questions that illustrate the perspectives of the body from chiropractic and OT view points.

We cover:

How tension shows up in the body and in the behaviors of children
Where the initial tension comes from - is it birth? Before birth?
How body work in pregnancy has benefits beyond the birth
The stressors around an uncomplicated birth
What is optimal vs not optimal in child development
Parents should not feel shame when getting the full story
How do OTs and Chiropractors assess what’s going on within baby’s body
Moms could benefit from care alongside baby
How behavioral issues go hand in hand with physical issues in babies and children
The different cries a baby has and what they are telling us
How providers read the energy of the room and of their patients
The modern day difficulties of parenting with your intuition
Don’t fall for the “should haves”, it wasn’t the right time
Unsolicited advice from Jen and Teri
Are tongue ties the right decision?
What does “knowing your baby best” actually feel like in your body?
If a choice is right for now, then it’s right. You can make a difference choice later if you need to.
What does finding balance really look like?
