Ep 59 – Coaching Parents for Confident Early Childhood Development with PT Jess + OT Nora of the Developmental Pod

Every parent knows the confusion that comes with wondering how to best support little ones as they work toward developmental milestones. Pediatric physical therapist Jessica Costagliola and pediatric occupational therapist Nora McCrystall understand this stress from both sides, as clinicians and moms themselves. Together, after challenging postpartum experiences seeking support for themselves and their children, they created the Developmental Pod, a developmental coaching service designed to empower parents through personalized guidance and feedback specific to their unique experiences with their children’s development. Through parent-focused support, Jessica and Nora instill confidence by equipping parents with individualized strategies and recommendations to aid development through their everyday play and daily routines. Clients also have access to ongoing support through messaging and video calls as they navigate their personalized developmental plan. Today on the Mama Mode podcast, Jessica and Nora share their own professional and parenting experiences that laid the foundation for the Developmental Pod, as well as tips and insight for parents wondering what more they can do for their children’s development from birth through toddlerhood and beyond. Listeners can learn more about the Developmental Pod online at https://www.thedevelopmentalpod.com/ or on Instagram @thedevelopmentalpod.
