Aimée is wonderful. She has a fantastic manner to her and has helped me enormously after the birth of my son. She has also worked wonders on my son. You can't help but warm to Aimée immediately, and it's easy to completely put your faith in both Aimée and the osteopathy she does. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Cranial Therapy for your Pregnancy and Postnatal Time
I love helping people through their pregnancy and also postnatally, and have experience of helping many pregnancies. Your treatment is always bespoke to you, and cranial therapy which treats the whole body is a safe and gentle way to ease aches and pains at this special time.
Pregnancy
You experience amazing hormonal changes, postural changes and ligament softening. This means you might have stresses and strains, and experience joint and back pain. I work with you to help you enjoy your pregnancy.
Gentle Cranial Therapy (also known as Craniosacral Therapy or CST) For Pregnancy
You will have a thorough consultation and examination, and then I will then explain exactly what is happening with your body and why you are having symptoms. Gentle hands on treatment could help your symptoms, so you are more comfortable and move more easily.
Helping Your Postnatal Recovery
After pregnancy, your body works hard looking after your new baby as well as recovering. You will be doing a lot of bending, lifting and carrying. Treatment can help your body’s aches and pains during this lovely but physical time. I also give advice on how you can avoid straining your body
Testimonials
I visited Aimée three months after the birth of my first child. My back had become achy in late pregnancy; then I had a long and difficult labour quickly followed by many hours of relentless nursing in the early weeks with my new baby. My post-natal back was feeling very sore and unsteady!
Upon meeting Aimée she immediately made me feel at ease, she was friendly and professional, I felt very comfortable with her which is important in the early months after giving birth. Aimée understood my concerns and listened to how I felt, then set to work (gently!) focusing on the areas that were causing me pain and discomfort. She also gave me practical suggestions to use at home, for example, we looked at adjusting my sitting position whilst feeding which quickly helped improve some back pain.
She is also brilliant at accommodating my baby at the appointment, providing an activity gym and a host of entertainment whilst she gets to work putting mummy back together! I really appreciate her down-to-earth approach and flexibility; there is also a private area available to feed before or after appointments which is a really thoughtful touch.
Aimée is a fantastic Cranial Therapist. She is very knowledgeable but most importantly she is very friendly and welcoming. Aimée worked on me and my newborn baby and both of us are all the better for it.
I have recommended many friends to Aimée and they have all been just as happy.
Aimée is a very skilled and experienced Cranial Therapist. She has helped me with strong migraines in pregnancy. Her professional approach and knowledge makes you to entrust your pains and worries to her. Would recommend her to everyone who experience migraines or back pain in pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is Osteopathy Safe During Pregnancy?
Osteopathy and cranial osteopathy can be very helpful throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Treatment is gentle, safe and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
I always take the greatest of care with my pregnant patients, and I will adapt your treatment accordingly. There is absolutely no proven link between osteopathic treatment and an increased incidence of miscarriage.

How Many Sessions Will I Need For Pregnancy Issues?
This depends on your particular problem, and how well your body is adapting to pregnancy. Some mums only need 3 sessions for their initial problem, and then may return for ‘maintenance’ to help them occasionally through the rest of pregnancy.
Some mums may have more difficulty adapting to pregnancy for example if they are hypermobile, and if symptoms have started early on in pregnancy may need a few more sessions throughout the pregnancy to keep them on track.
