Julia Jones talks with Katherine Baquie about the physical side of matrescence and what really happens in a woman’s body after birth. Katherine shares her experience as a women’s health physio and mum of three, supporting women through recovery, pelvic floor health, and returning to movement. Together, they explore simple, practical ways to help women feel strong, supported, and confident after birth.

Sophie is a qualified postpartum doula, pilates instructor, shiatsu therapist, and mother of two young children. She is passionate about supporting women and their bodies throughout the birthing years and is especially keen on providing nurturing bodywork and restorative movement to help women befriend and restore their body with kindness and respect. Sophie teaches mother centred pilates in Melbourne and online and attends women in their home after the birth of their beautiful baby as a postpartum doula and shiatsu therapist.

I chat with exercise physiologist, author and Newborn Mothers graduate, Anna Cusack. Together we discuss the importance of supporting your physical health after the significant impact of pregnancy and birth. At the core of this conversation is an insight into how we can bring together our unique experience and combine that with postpartum care to create new offerings for parents.
