I’m Katie Purnell, a graduate sports therapist with 10 years’ experience in the health and fitness industry. Over that time, I’ve found my real passion: helping women feel strong, confident and free to live without limitations.

I’ve built on my training with specialist qualifications in women’s health, focusing on pregnancy and the postnatal period. These include pregnancy massage, pelvic girdle pain treatment and clinical Pilates, so I can support you from pregnancy through to recovery and beyond.

I’m also a caesarean section scar specialist. I know that a caesarean affects more than just your body. It can change how you feel about yourself, too. My aim is to help every mum feel comfortable and confident in her body again. In each session, I’ll explain what’s going on with your scar and any restrictions around it. I’ll also treat it with hands-on techniques and give you simple exercises to keep making progress at home.
