Testimonials

Pregnancy and PosTNatal

Fabergé:
During my first pregnancy I experienced really severe left sided low back pain. Claire fairly instantly diagnosed me with a slipped right hand sacroiliac joint and went about in four fairly pain free sessions basically curing me. Claire's friendly bedside manner and truly magic hands allowed me to 100% get back on the right track and to start to enjoy my pregnancy again. I honestly can't thank her enough!

Continence

Lynette
I was diagnosed with a prolapsed bladder - a condition I was most embarrassed about. When I spoke with Claire I knew she was an expert in her field which gave me immense confidence and comfort in her and the process. She was compassionate and understanding. It was such a relief!!

With the treatment I received I do not need surgery at present and she has now given me the ability to function without embarrassment.

Ante-natal pilates

Alexy:
Claire, the class teacher, was excellent and tailored the exercises to suit the women attending. The class sizes were small, so that we received individual attention. I thought that Claire's specific expertise in women's health physiotherapy really shone through. Aside from the physical benefits, I also thoroughly enjoyed the sessions - it was one of the highlights of my week! I felt both relaxed and invigorated after each Ante-natal pilates session.

Post-natal pilates

Ruth, Maida Vale:
I would recommend this course to any woman who has had a baby. The instructor is fantastic and the exercises are extremely useful. Being able to bring my baby along is also great.

Life After Birth class

Susan, St John's Wood:
A brilliant class that I would recommend to friends who are pregnant or not. Just great to understand my body, what changes occur with pregnancy and what I can do to make a difference and regain my 'six pack' post birth. The personal attention to me was great. Claire was a world of information. Very informative and certainly someone who knows her stuff. I'm keen for a personal appointment. Thanks.

Natalie, Belsize Park:
Wowee! Thank you Claire for such a fabulous, fun, information packed class! I learnt more about my pelvic floor in your two hour class than I have done from reading loads of pregnancy/birth and baby books. I look forward to signing up for your weekly postnatal pilates classes.

Jennifer, Maida Vale:
I found the course very informative and essential in getting a safe and structured plan to rehabilitate post baby, particularly as I had a C-section. I would not hesitate to recommend the course.

Fransesca, Islington:
Essential learning for any postnatal women. I don't know why this isn't standard practice! I was worried about pelvic girdle pain so this class has helped a lot. I'm feeling much more confident about another pregnancy now.

Lucy, Islington:
Very helpful exercises and tummy examination. We were all able to express our own personal concerns and have them addressed despite it being a group class. Well worth taking the time to do the session.

Barbara, Hackney:
Extremely helpful on knowing how my body changed after birth and what was safe exercise wise. Having had a third degree tear, the class helped me understand how to get back to normal and what exercises and techniques to do. Very relaxed atmosphere – helped a lot!

Lola, Hackney:
Thanks. I really enjoyed the class. It was the opportunity for me to better understand what changes my body had experienced. I learnt a lot and understood how important it all is. The pilates exercises were also very useful.

Katie, Muswell Hill:
Good format - informal and very informative. Would be good before, in between or after childbirth, in addition to ante-natal classes. Good to be able to ask the questions you really want to know answers to but don't know who to ask, about the pelvic floor and the consequences of childbirth and pregnancy. Thank you!

Monica, Harrow on the Hill:
- Very helpful for pelvic floor exercises and the importance of them
- Informal and relaxed environment
- Could ask questions freely
- Can now better understand my body
