Expectant and New Mums

Whether you're looking to stay on top of the physical changes of pregnancy or you need pain relief or more sleep - help is here. Enjoy safe and natural pregnancy care at every stage of your journey, from family planning to postnatal recovery. Based on your trimester and condition, we combine treatments, therapies and advice to support expectant and new mums through the many physical changes and challenges of pregnancy.

We identify and modify any habits that aggravate your condition, including breastfeeding positions, so you can enjoy motherhood with less pain and disruption to your daily life.
