Need postnatal support ?
A 6 week check with a pelvic physiotherapist is worth it’s weight in gold- we work closely with Tus and her team at Sunrise Pelvic Physio to ensure a smooth transition back into exercise after birth. Nutritional support can be invaluable in the months after giving birth- if you’re in need of support or a little guidance our favourites are New Leaf.
