Pregnancy, Postnatal and Paediatric Osteopath
We had Kirstyn come into our Osteopathy clinic for her Pre, Postnatal and Pelvic Floor course for us for some in house CPD. It was amazing, and we learnt so much. It was the perfect combo of hands on/theory so really easy to take in the information. We treat a lot of pregnant and postpartum mums so it was great to be able to close the gap in our knowledge and apply what we learnt straight away into clinic. I have also done one of Kirstyn's online courses which was also really helpful for returning to exercise safely post having my children. I would highly rate the course and Kirstyn was a great teacher!

Kirstyn ran a course at my gym in 2020 on pregnancy and postpartum for my staff of PTs, Physios, Massage therapist. Her presentation was well structured and filled with helpful tips and anecdotes from her experience; as well as up to date takeaways from the scientific research - communicated in a succinct, engaging and masterful manner. Kirstyn is easy to deal with and gave our staff some super helpful guidance that linked well with our existing services. I wouldn’t hesitate to utilise Kirstyn again and would highly recommend her services in similar contexts.

As a male trainer who has spent a lot of time and money on education I thought I knew everything. That was until I undertook the pre and postnatal educational resources designed by Kirstyn. I soon realised when it comes to training females properly I actually knew very little.
If you are a male trainer you need to learn what Kirstyn teaches. Your females clients will thank you for it.
