See what our clients are saying about Femme Health Clinic

  • “I saw Katie several times throughout my pregnancy as I was experiencing some hip and back pain and the pregnancy massage combined with exercises for my pelvic floor and hip stability made such a difference! I have since had my 6 week postnatal check which was invaluable, compared with the quick chat you get with your GP. She did a full assessment on my breathing, pelvic floor, ribs and abdominal function and my hip and low back. The knowledge she has given me has filled me with confidence in what I should be doing post-partum, and I will also continue to see Katie for therapy on my c-section scar. This service is much needed in Market Harborough and would recommend any post-natal mum to go and see Katie no matter if you're weeks, months or years after having a baby!”

  • “I am so happy to have found Katie after experiencing back problems less than one year post c-section. Katie is so knowledgable about women’s health and, importantly, has given me a realistic treatment plan that is achievable within a busy family life. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Femme Health Clinic.”

  • “I can’t recommend Katie enough. I suffer with endometriosis and having treatment with her has made a massive difference to the pain I suffer with each month and made it so much more bearable. Katie is professional, knowledgeable and amazing at what she does! Thank you.”

  • “I can’t recommend Katie enough, she has so much expertise on woman’s health and the functionality of our bodies but manages to communicate it in an understandable way. I had pregnancy massages with Katie which helped me sleep and feel as though there is more space in there! We are now working on recovery post c section with guided return to fitness, scar massage and pelvic floor strengthening. Very lucky to have this service in the Market Harborough area.”

  • “Having had a monthly pregnancy massage since 5 months pregnant and weekly since hitting 36 weeks, I cannot recommend Katie enough. With her knowledge she has helped me outside of the studio too giving advise on stretches/movements to help with the aches (and to help turn the baby!) My massages in the last few weeks have honestly been the one day of the week that I have felt comfortable and been able to sleep. 10/10 absolutely worth doing.”

  • “Katie was extremely approachable, knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly. The appointment felt personal and she took the time to explain exercises and how to do them properly. Post c section care is quite limited in terms of pelvic floor exercises and looking after your scar long term and can easily be forgotten with a little one. After leaving the appointment I feel empowered to do some self care and complete the care plan she has suggested. Would really recommend and looking forward to seeing the outcome!”
