Pelvic Floor Therapy with Chiara Martini Movement

1707 Grant St, Vancouver, British Columbia V5L2Y6 7:45pm – 9pm

For so many of us post natal pelvic care is something we overlook. We deeply underestimate the impact of a weak pelvic floor can have on a body until you do have a weak one. Coming to this event is an amazing way to safely ask those embarrassing questions without judgement. All of our bodies change over time, it is how we embrace and care for them as time goes on that matters most.
