PRIVATE MIDWIFERY CARE IN MILAN
Pregnancy & Postpartum Bodywork
Supporting your body through change, recovery and renewal
Your body goes through remarkable changes during pregnancy and continues to adapt after birth. Targeted bodywork can help you navigate these changes, develop greater body awareness and support a gradual, physiological recovery.
As a midwife certified in the De Gasquet method, I offer personalised sessions combining breathing, posture, mindful movement and a focus on the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, supporting you from pregnancy through postpartum recovery.
During pregancy
Through pregnancy yoga, breathing techniques and mindful movement, we work on posture, mobility and pelvic floor awareness, helping your body adapt to pregnancy and prepare for birth.
Breathing, relaxation and movement techniques can also help you manage the sensations of labour and approach birth with greater awareness, confidence and trust in your body.
After birth
The focus shifts to gradual postpartum recovery, with particular attention to the abdominal wall, abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) and pelvic floor function.
Exercises are tailored to your needs and stage of recovery, helping you return to movement mindfully and gradually rebuild strength, mobility and confidence in your body.

The De Gasquet method
The De Gasquet approach combines posture, breathing and movement, with particular attention to pelvic floor protection and the management of abdominal pressure.
It is not simply about strengthening muscles, but about learning to move more consciously and support your body through its changes.
