about Emilie
- training and info about me.
Pregnancy, postnatal and pelvic specialist since 2008.
Over the past 14 years, I have helped hundreds of women and their partners adapt to becoming new parents, some for the first time and others adding more to their crew. Everyone is different and a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't work.
"The sessions were non-judgemental, inclusive and accessible and provided a safe space to confide in other mums at the same stage of their journey.
Thank you Emilie and Frome Birth Talk.”
Feedback from postnatal yoga sessions for charity Frome Birth Talk.
"I was somewhat mind blown by how the smallest movements and changes to posture can impact the pelvic floor and how I could really feel the changes in my body as my muscles were working. Highly recommend."
