About

Buen día soy Monica Quintanilla Goldstein, Doctora de Terapia Ocupacional // Hi, I’m Monica Quintanilla Goldstein, a Doctor of Occupational Therapy.

I practice in Santa Barbara, CA, and recently branched into private practice to support families with pediatric feeding, including breast and bottle, oral restrictions, and transition to solids. @adira_ot

I shortly after started @dr.mamaot to bring awareness to Occupational therapy. At first, I just wanted to make some rad OT products; I decided to start a brand, a movement if I dare say! I wanted to produce and market occupational therapy-inspired accessories I would have been excited to buy as a student and even now as a practitioner. More importantly, I want to represent and showcase the beauty and diversity of OT students and practitioners! I want representation for Black OTs, Asian OTs, Latinx OTs, OT mothers, OT fathers, and OTs living with a disability, etc., etc.

Dr. Mama OT is expanding (in my head) as I want to build a platform to bring awareness and advocate for things near and dear to my heart, motherhood, work/life balance, cultural sensitivity, and occupational justice. Don’t worry these ideas 💡 will make their way out soon. 

I look forward to sharing, meeting, and having a platform for like-minded people. See you guys very soon. ♥️
