I saw Harriet for help with a debilitating pelvic organ prolapse. I thought my only option was drastic surgery. I am so much better after only a few appointments, thanks to her truly holistic treatment and advice on day-to -day activities. Harriet has also given me reassurance and confidence. I feel 'normal' again.

I had been experiencing POP symptoms since my son was born, which restricted most of the things I did and had destroyed my confidence. I left my first appointment with strategy and hope. Harriet has a wealth of knowledge, resource and experience but above all time and the compassion which was vital in rendering me near symptom free and with restored self-esteem. I have no hesitation in recommending Harriet to anyone who was in my position, or in fact at any point in their pregnancy/post-partum journey as I know she has a lot to offer at all stages. Thank you!

I first visited Harriet about 7 months ago for help with my prolapse symptoms. I am so pleased I contacted her.
Her specialist knowledge and expertise has helped me grow in strength and confidence and worry much less about what the future holds for my symptoms.
I first read about women’s health physios many years ago, thought it might help me, but decided I couldn’t justify spending the money on myself. Since then I have almost certainly wasted my money on a few clothes or shoes I never wear or could have gone without- I really wish I had visited her sooner.

I had been suffering with vaginismus for just under a year after being to the doctors (many times) and just not being taken seriously. I finally went to a gynaecologist who recommended Harriet. After coming to the conclusion that my vaginismus would never be cured but that soon changed after my first appointment with Harriet, she was really understanding and knowledgeable and was so positive about the fact that I would be able to overcome my vaginismus. So, with some work and a lot more positivity in just a few months I am now living a vaginismus free life!! I would encourage any woman who has vaginismus to go to Harriet as I would never have been able to have done this without Harriet.

Harriet is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, friendly and very thorough. She is also very realistic when advising rehabilitation exercises which is very welcome. I highly recommend her.

I initially contacted Harriet when coughing from a post covid chest infection weakened my pelvic floor to the point of leaking (not ideal in the early months of pregnancy before I’d even given birth!) and just the first session was amazing and so informative! Harriet put me at ease straight away, certainly knows her stuff and explained how and why things work - I came away raving about women’s health physio sessions.
I also had an ongoing issue with my shoulder which I returned for support with and this has improved greatly through just a few sessions and my homework. It makes so much sense when I think about it but just strengthening the area means it’s so much better compared to years of chiropractic treatments to temporarily ‘fix and go’. Harriet takes an holistic approach which I value greatly, she cares and takes the time to look at the bigger picture so if you’re in any doubt, pick up the phone and make an appointment!

I visited Harriet when I was experiencing bladder control, pelvic pain and anxiety around prolapse following the birth of my son two years earlier. My symptoms were preventing me from exercising and severely affecting my mental health. From the first appointment Harriet put me totally at ease, made me feel very relaxed and that I was in a safe and supportive environment. The women's health advice and treatment she has given me over a number of sessions has totally transformed my life - I am now able to exercise as I was before giving birth, pelvic pain has gone alongside bladder issues and my anxiety has reduced significantly. I would highly recommend Harriet to any postpartum mum.

"Harriet has been a godsend. She is thorough, caring and professional. I went to her as I was still having significant post-partum prolapse symptoms… and dreading the imminent running around after a very speedy one year old!!! She has made a huge difference to my symptoms.
Harriet has a very holistic approach- working on all areas of the body to ensure correct alignment, flexibility and strength. She also uses internal release techniques, to address pelvic floor tension and scaring. This was the game changer for me.
I am a physio, and had been doing pelvic floor exercises for a year, without any improvement. The difference after the first treatment with Harriet was incredible! I just wish I had found her sooner and I’m so thankful for how ‘normal’ she has made me in just 3 treatment sessions! I have highly recommended her to a few friends who have also benefited from her care."

"I went to see Harriet with symptoms of a prolapse and after one appointment all those symptoms had subsided. She helped me understand what was happening and why and treated the root cause. She was highly professional, caring and kind, and I was instantly at ease. I really couldn't recommend her any more!"

"You have been absolutely brilliant and I feel like a new person! I really don't know what I would have done without you these last few weeks. I try to be positive and maintain my sense of humour but the last few months were very difficult. However I am now looking to the future with renewed energy and positivity!"

“Your treatment was amazing today, just what I needed. Have noticed that standing from a sitting position is easier; normally I struggle somewhat”
