Kinesiology for Pregnancy & Postnatal Balance

Pregnancy and the postnatal period bring profound physical, hormonal, and emotional change. Kinesiology for pregnancy and postnatal balance offers gentle, holistic support during this time, helping the body adapt, recover, and rebalance as it moves through each stage of motherhood.

At The Northgate Clinic, this work is offered by Teodora, a Systematic Kinesiologist and birth doula with nine years of experience supporting individuals through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Sessions are designed to ease physical discomfort, support hormonal balance, and nurture emotional wellbeing, using a calm, responsive approach that places safety, consent, and individual needs at the centre of care.

Benefits of kinesiology during pregnancy and after birth

Kinesiology is often used during pregnancy and the postnatal period to help reduce the impact of stress on the body and nervous system. Gentle muscle testing helps identify physical, emotional, biochemical, and energetic stressors that may be contributing to discomfort or imbalance. Many people find this approach supportive for easing pregnancy-related symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, tension, and sleep disturbance, as well as for emotional steadiness and confidence as birth approaches.

After birth, kinesiology can support recovery by helping the body rebalance hormonally, address postnatal fatigue, and process the emotional demands of early motherhood. Sessions are often valued for creating space to rest, reconnect with the body, and feel supported during a period of significant adjustment.

Pregnancy and postnatal support

Kinesiology sessions are tailored to each stage, from early pregnancy through to postnatal recovery. Support may include preparation for birth, easing physical strain as the body changes, and supporting emotional readiness for labour. Postnatally, sessions can focus on restoring energy, supporting hormonal shifts, and helping the body and nervous system settle after birth.

Throughout this journey, care is offered with compassion and sensitivity, recognising that each pregnancy and postnatal experience is unique.
