I’m a women’s health physiotherapist, a Mummy MOT™ practitioner and a qualified yoga teacher. Most of my work centres on the pelvis: helping women through pregnancy, after birth, and later on through perimenopause and menopause.
I see a lot of pelvic floor problems, including leaking, prolapse, pelvic pain and pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy. I also treat tummy separation (diastasis recti) and the hip and lower back pain that often come with all of this. I treat general aches and pains too, like neck and shoulder problems, so you don’t need a “women’s health” issue to come and see me.
I don’t just treat the sore spot. I’ll also look at how you move, breathe, sleep and manage day to day, because all of that affects pain and recovery. Depending on what you need, treatment might include exercise, Pilates, hands-on work, acupuncture or myofascial release. My yoga background shapes a lot of the movement and breathing work I use too.
Above all, I want you to leave feeling properly listened to. You should understand what’s going on with your body and feel confident about what to do next.
