Mental Health Occupational Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenthood
A space to pause, unpack what’s been sitting with you, and feel a little more steady.
Ready to Rise offers telehealth mental health occupational therapy across Australia, with a special focus on perinatal mental health. Whether you're navigating postpartum depression, pregnancy anxiety, birth trauma, or the emotional weight of early parenthood, this is a safe space to land.
GP referrals welcomed. NDIS participants supported.
Partners always included.
I support GP-referred and self-referred individuals — wherever you are in Australia.
Supporting individuals, partners & families through pregnancy, postpartum & early parenthood. Expert trauma-informed OT therapy, Australia-wide.
Many people seek support from a mental health OT alongside — or instead of — a perinatal psychologist, particularly when day-to-day life, routines, relationships, and functioning are part of what needs support. As an OT, I look at the full picture: not just how you're feeling, but how you're living.

About Your Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
I'm Kelsey Crosling, a registered mental health occupational therapist with over a decade of experience across public and private settings, now specialising in perinatal mental health.
I've worked in public Mother Baby Units, a women's acute psychiatric unit, and I provide contract support with the Gidget Foundation. I'm currently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Perinatal Mental Health.
But more than any of that, I get it. I know how important it is to feel genuinely understood, especially in the season of new parenthood.

Is this for me?
These sessions might be right for you if you're:
• Pregnant, postpartum, or parenting and feeling stretched beyond capacity
• Navigating postpartum depression, postnatal anxiety, or birth trauma
• Struggling with the adjustment to parenthood — identity, relationships, sleep, all of it
• A partner or non-birthing parent who also needs support
• An adult managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, or another mental health concern
• An NDIS participant looking for a mental health occupational therapist
You don't need to arrive with a clear diagnosis or a goal in mind. Sometimes the first step is just showing up.
