Meet Dr. Taylor Wambolt
Matrescence Method
I'm Taylor—a doctor of occupational therapy, educator, mother, and founder of Matrescence Method. I help women navigate the physical, functional, and occupational changes that come with pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and motherhood.
My path into women's health began with personally recognizing something that felt like it was a missing piece: healthcare and support during the postpartum period. Here in the U.S., women often receive extensive attention during pregnancy and birth, yet the transition into everyday life after having a baby can feel much less supported, if there is any at all.
When I began going to school to become an occupational therapist, I had a 15-month-old at the time. The more I learned about what occupational therapy is at its core, the more I realized how much I would have benefited from a service like this when I was postpartum. It taught me to look at that transition differently, which now comes from a skilled provider perspective to integrate good, holistic care. Women need more than just a standard 6 week follow-up.
Motherhood changes more than your schedule. It can change how you move, sleep, work, exercise, care for yourself, care for your baby, and/or participate in the roles that matter to you. I created Matrescence Method to provide women with individualized, practical support as they navigate these changes—not to help them “bounce back,” but to help them move forward with their new, special title of “mama.”
What ismatrescence?
Matrescence describes the physical, emotional, social, and functional transition into motherhood - similar to that of adolescence coming into adulthood.
It is an often undertreated transition period and underserved population where new moms are just expected to adapt while navigating several aspects of newfound motherhood, all ranging from physical to emotional components. And sometimes, the things that once felt automatic suddenly require more thought, planning, adaptation, or support. There is no single way to experience matrescence—and matrescence itself is not a diagnosis. But the changes that happen during this transition can affect how you function in everyday life.
Your body changes.Your routines change.Your responsibilities change.Your relationships change.Your identity can change.
You deserve support through these transitions.
