Fitness for future mothers

Pre and Postnatal Care


Every journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond is unique. Therefore every woman will have different needs. Whilst issues such as back and pelvic pain in pregnancy are common, they're not normal.

 

Peta is passionate about the pelvis and the pregnant body and has worked for over 15 years specialising in this field. As a mum herself, she understands the physical, emotional and social changes that occur with having a baby.
