Our customers say

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

My initial assessment was very informative and helpful. It was amazing to feel that I was actually being listened to, and that there was a cause and cure to all of the problems I was having.

Larissa was super understanding, a great listener and her explanations of the internal systems helped me understand my own body and my symptoms a lot better. Larissa made me feel very comfortable and made sure I wasn't anxious or stressed.

Overall, the experience was very insightful and helpful and the follow-up sessions were enjoyable.

Julia Peters Belk, MSK & Women's Health Specialist, Mummy MOT & POGP

I’m a certified Mummy MOT practitioner based at our Bushey clinic, with extensive experience and training in Pilates, rehabilitation, acupuncture and manual therapy. I enjoy supporting women at all stages in their lives, addressing their specific needs and achieving their goals however large or small. After the birth of my two children, I felt strongly about advocating the importance of Women’s Health and encouraging women to seek out specialist help for issues such as tummy gap, pelvic or back pain, and urinary urgency or incontinence.

Aftercare for mums is often not as extensive as it should be. Many women are not made aware of the issues surrounding abdominal and pelvic floor muscle weakness following pregnancy. These weaknesses can often lead to further issues if they are not assessed and treated. Many women also learn to get by with conditions such as incontinence and sexual dysfunction after having a baby. I’m passionate about raising awareness around Women’s Health in the hope that with more knowledge on the subject matter, more women will seek help, and fewer women will suffer in silence.
