Elizabeth Antony

Doctor of Occupational Therapy Student

Elizabeth is in her final semester of her Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program at Texas Woman’s University in Houston.

She was born and raised in Houston and earned her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Elizabeth’s interest in occupational therapy started early, shaped by growing up with her older brother who has Down Syndrome and seeing firsthand how building functional skills can support independence and meaningful participation.

Her focus on maternal mental health grew through her experience with nannying part time throughout undergrad and OT school, where she worked closely with postpartum mothers and saw how much mental health can affect daily routines, identity, and overall well-being.

She is passionate about helping parents feel supported, capable, and connected during the postpartum period through occupation-based approaches.

Outside of school, Elizabeth enjoys hiking, trying new coffee shops, going on walks, and traveling!
