Birth Prep Workshop

Prenatal Portrait

Rangiora Hospital

Are you Christchurch (NZ) based and expecting a baby soon? I'm now hosting a Birth Preparation Workshop once a month at Rangiora Hospital with the lovely Sarah from Mind Body Babies. 

What Ladies are saying

Woman lifting weights at gym

"Especially found the squat to sit helpful as really struggled standing from sitting after birth. Lost so much core strength"

Recovery has been so great, I reckon your PT sessions help with that -
