Babies and children
The early months leave their mark on both baby and mother. We support feeding difficulties, intense crying and the tensions of birth, always alongside your paediatrician.
Cycle and conception
Severe period pain, pain during sex or difficulty conceiving are common, but not normal. We look for the root in the pelvic floor, the organs and the whole body.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy reshapes posture, pelvis and abdomen in a few short months. We help with pain and bladder leaks and prepare the body for birth, through movement.
Postpartum
Postpartum does not end at six weeks. We assess the pelvic floor, abdomen and scar, and support mother and baby as they return to the body and to feeding.
Menopause
Falling oestrogen changes the vagina, bladder and pelvic floor. Dryness, bladder leaks or a heavy feeling can be treated and are not the price of getting older.
