Welcome to Seven Mothers Perinatal OT, your home for the prenatal preparation and postpartum recovery that no one tells you you need.
I’m Vaishi Tallury, a mother, occupational therapist, yoga instructor, and your partner throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey. I’ve experienced first-hand how debilitating perinatal anxiety and depression can be on your day-to-day functioning.

Vaishnavi Tallury, MA, OTR/L is a licensed Occupational Therapist with 15 years of experience in pediatric, school-based OT, as well as a certified yoga instructor. Seven Mothers was born while Vaishi was on maternity leave with her second child and struggling with her own postpartum challenges. Having knowledge and skills in rehabilitation, she knew what she needed to do, but just didn’t have the capacity to do those things. This struck her with the question- how can we better prepare women for the transformation into motherhood? In speaking with other mom friends, she found she was not alone in this struggle and two common themes emerged: 1.) It takes a village and 2.) We were prepared for the challenges of bringing home a newborn, but not adequately prepared to take care of ourselves in this new role of “mother.”
Vaishi immediately knew this was her calling and that she would utilize her experiences as a yoga instructor, occupational therapist, and most importantly mother, to help prepare expectant mothers for Matrescence. Vaishi has completed trainings in perinatal mental health, lactation, and birth story processing. She is working toward her Perinatal Mental Health Certification.
Vaishi lives in Washington, DC with her husband, two daughters, and 12-year-old dog who still acts like a puppy. She is excited to serve mothers and babies during this critical perinatal period.
