What we work on


Proper, well-cued pelvic floor work, the foundation everything else is built on. No guessing whether you're doing it right.
Safe reconnection of your deep abdominals, with Diastasis Recti in mind. Absolutely no crunches or sit-ups.
Undoing the rounded shoulders and stiff neck that come with feeding, carrying and the endless car seat.
Gentle conditioning that gives you back a bit of the stamina those broken nights have taken.

"I felt so welcomed from the very first session. Emma made sure every exercise was right for where I was in my recovery. By week four I was sleeping better and felt so much stronger."
"Having my baby with me made all the difference. No stressing about childcare - I could just focus on looking after myself for an hour. It was exactly what I needed."
