  • “My experience with Maggie was great! Pelvic floor physio isn't the most comfortable thing in the world but she was really professional and put me at ease, plus I learned a lot and feel like the exercises I was given really help! Would definitely recommend Maggie, and would definitely recommend going before giving birth!!!”
