I had a traumatic forceps delivery which contributed in me getting a bladder prolapse. I was totally unaware that this was even possible after birth! The constant heavy pelvic symptoms and back pain were debilitating. I reached out to Stefany from London and we started doing online hypopressives. Once I moved to Dubai I continued to see Stefany in person. I could tell my symptoms were reducing. The exercises calmed my nervous system down, it felt like a mixture of meditation and yoga!
I really believe hypopressives with Stefany has had a massive influence on helping me to strengthen my core, posture and pelvic floor muscles, plus, they are so relaxing and calming to do!
It was useful course, I have learned new breathing techniques and I understand how to involve and strengthen my core muscle
Highly recommend Stefany. Great understanding of your body’s limits and restrictions postpartum. The program is brilliant for core and pelvic floor awareness and activation, as well as pelvic floor release.
I would highly recommend Stefany as your pre and post-natal fitness expert. Stefany has a wealth of experience and knowledge. She is highly enthusiastic and welcoming making the learning process enjoyable and stress free. Having worked with Stefany on several occasions I would not hesitate to recommend her invaluable services to expecting or new mothers
