- Are you pregnant or considering pregnancy?
- Do you relate to any of the following?
- Uncertainty about how one properly maintains their body during pregnancy…
- Feeling unprepared for childbirth…
- Concerns about postpartum recovery…
- Anxiety that your personal well-being will be forgotten throughout your pregnancy…
ESPP aims to address all these issues and more. The online program was developed by Nuvo Physio’s co-founder and women’s health physiotherapist, Jennifer, to fulfill the gap in high quality maternal healthcare. It’s a one-of-a-kind pregnancy program that’s comprehensive, practical, and designed to synchronize with your gestational calendar. This program aims to promote self-care, foster maternal empowerment, and serve as a stepwise guide for maternal care.
ESPP takes the guesswork out of what to do during pregnancy. It provides a comprehensive model of care that keeps your body in shape during pregnancy; prepares your body for childbirth; and supports you in your postpartum recovery. The program provides cues on when to seek treatment from specific health care professionals that will help you along your maternal journey.
