Dream Big Babies, sleep specialist and proud toddler mama, Esther Ruber, has been a practicing Occupational Therapist in Los Angeles for over 10 years, having received her master's degree from Boston University. Her clinical work has allowed her to participate in the art of establishing physical, environmental and behavioral equilibrium among clients of all ages, including infants. As a spiritually informed and intuitive practitioner, Esther is heart-centered, adaptive and functional in her approach. Her passion and experience working with infants and adults in clinic, coupled with the birth of her daughter, sparked her calling to serve families with new babies on their journey towards finding life balance and joy. In January, 2019, Esther took her doula training in order to deepen her ability to empower parents with practical tools during the perinatal period, especially those that create the sleeping household of their dreams.
In this episode, Esther opens up about her journey from occupational therapist to doula. She discusses trauma in pregnancy, the impact on the nervous system of being a new parent, postpartum depression, and tips for working with toddlers who’s sleep patterns have been interrupted. Esther highlights and discusses, in terms of healing, that one of the most difficult things new parents face is lack of sleep and its detrimental knock on effect.
