Hi, I’m Fidelma
Experienced Maternal Occupational Therapist & Mum of Three
Welcome! I’m a proud mum to three busy boys and a highly experienced Maternal Occupational Therapist. For over 25 years, I have worked across both public and private health services in Dublin, helping women navigate the profound life transitions of parenthood.
Alongside my private practice, I also work within one of Dublin's largest maternity hospitals, specializing directly in maternal mental health.
My passion is helping mums navigate the practical and emotional realities of daily life during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Whether you are a first-time parent or managing the beautiful complexities of an expanding family, I am here to help you find calm, confidence, and steadiness amongst the everyday chaos. Combining clinical expertise with deep empathy, I work with you to ensure you can confidently do the everyday things that matter most to you.
