“I cannot recommend Claudia highly enough. I have worked with her both pre and post natally and her support throughout my pregnancy and following the birth has been incredible. As well as being highly experienced, Claudia is very intuitive and the programmes she devises are tuned to your specific and changing needs. As my pregnancy progressed, we focused on maintaining my pelvic floor strength and building flexibility through gentle exercise and stretching and these sessions were a lifeline in managing the aches and pains especially in the last trimester. Postnatally, following a C Section and significant diastasis recti, Claudia’s teaching has been absolutely instrumental in my recovery, rebuilding my strength and giving me confidence in my body’s abilities again.”  Katie
