About
Play Pro Mom was born out of Hope’s deep desire to support other parents navigating the little years from a combination of her personal health experiences in childhood, career as an early intervention physical therapist, and own transition into motherhood.
After surviving a diaphragmatic hernia at birth, Hope’s parents were sent home with little more than a ‘good luck’. There was no early intervention and no guidance about how to actually support a baby who had started life with major surgeries and no experiences outside of a hospital. Hope knows firsthand how unaddressed compensation patterns compound in sneaky ways but also the healing power that comes through supporting connection, movement, and play.
She has seen it over and over as an early intervention physical therapist- potential unlocked when families have access to knowledge and practical tools to support their little ones.
When Hope became a mom, the new role felt overwhelming in many ways.
She realized that even gross motor development- despite a doctorate degree in physical therapy and years of experience supporting little ones, could feel fuzzy freshly postpartum and how stressful that could be for parents to navigate.
Soon enough, the therapist in Hope was naturally sprinkling in bursts of purposeful play and mindfully supporting development in everyday tasks. Unlike so many areas in the new terrain of motherhood, this was familiar. When it came to supporting development, Hope felt like a pro.
“That’s exactly what I want for you too- to be so empowered and equipped that you feel like a Play Pro in supporting your little one’s development.”
Play Pro Mom exists to bring you practical, easy to use resources, clarity around gross motor milestones, and impactful, low prep play strategies.
