S1 Ep6 Abdominal therapy for pregnancy/postpartum with Jo Anderson
In this episode Suzanne interviews Jo Anderson, a highly skilled and experienced specialist in abdominal therapy and scar therapy for women.
Jo is also an advanced practitioner in the Arvigo techniques of Mayan abdominal therapy. She combines different complementary therapies to individualise her care and helps women to learn to love their bellies.
Her treatment also involves teaching ongoing self care, so her work continues throughout your life. As women, so much goes on in our abdomens – it is truly our centre – and Jo is an expert on healing and connecting with this deep part of ourselves.
Jo is also a postpartum doula, which she discovered as a way of being able to nourish women in the postnatal period while bringing her gifts of abdominal therapy to them. She works with women in the postpartum period to help them to reconnect with their bellies and to recover physically and emotionally from the birth.
