Malarie P. D’Amico, MS, OTR/L
I am a licensed Occupational Therapist currently practicing on the Emerald Coast of Florida! I specialize in Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, Somatic Healing, Pregnancy and Childbirth, Postpartum and Pediatric Development. Occupational Therapists take a holistic view of a client to help them access their preferred and meaningful “occupations” or activities of daily life.
I earned my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy and Bachelor’s degree in Life Science from the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, NY. I spent years as a Pediatric OT for the NYCDOE, and various districts across Long Island. In 2014, I birthed my first son with trauma and decided to learn all I could about physiological birth. I devoured it all. I immersed myself in independent study and in 2017 certified as a doula through DTI. In 2023 I became certified in Somatic Healing through MVP and in 2026 became a Certified Sexuality OT through The Institute for Sex & Occupational Therapy.
I have been serving women ever since, with my heart and soul in bringing people back to themselves, via their preferred occupations. Life takes us on crazy roads, but we can always find our way back to the heart, with the body as our conduit. It has been a joy to use my Occupational Therapy skillset in pelvic floor therapy. I use my somatosensory and biomechanical expertise to serve those who seek care for their most intimate, sacred, and sometimes neglected spaces.
As a birth doula, it is my honor to help women birth in their power, and support new parents to achieve the postpartum and parenthood they desire. Homebirth, hospital birth, OB, midwife; Your safety and desires are my highest priority. We’ll unravel as many knots as you need to before your baby comes so you can birth with no fear. I am currently NRP Advanced Provider certified.
I am passionate about physiological birth, natural living, honoring your sovereignty and ancestral wisdom during birthing time and other rites of passage, including Menarche and Menopause.
