Gayle Schwee, MOT, OTR, PMH-C

Gayle is a Filipinx-American, born and raised Texan, mother, wife, caregiver, and occupational therapist. She has a passion for connecting with others. Just as the pandemic was shutting down the world, Gayle birthed her first child by c-section. She felt isolated and far removed from the person she was before. In her search to find that strong woman again, she connected with Jessica and co-founded Matrescence Occupational Therapy. Her mindset shifted to concentrate on changing the standard of care in maternal health. Her goal is to empower moms to find strength within themselves to do what they want, need, and have to do. She loves teaching families to engage with their babies in developmental play. She recognizes the significance of mindfulness and stress reduction as essential to forward progress. Gayle is encouraging and sees the potential in others; she is intrigued by the unique qualities that each person brings. Her strength in building relationships gives her clients confidence to strive for their goals. She loves to dance, listen to live music with her daughter and husband, travel with family, and experience new things. She has jumped out of a plane, been hypnotized, and disappeared by David Copperfield.
