London Practitioners we love
Simon Prideux - Osteopath for adults and babies. He is what I can only describe as a healer. Whatever you are feeling you will walk away from seeing Simon with a skip in your step. He is very intuitive and fantastic at baby osteopathy. Baby osteopathy is great for difficult births, assisted deliveries or caesarean born babies.
Karen Mander - Hypnobirthing teacher. Oh to live with Karen and Simon, she and Simon Prideux are quite the team when it comes to birth. Contact Karen for hypnobirthing classes.
Dr Gang Zhu - Acupuncturist. This is the man to see for fertility issues, helping with labour and trying a natural approach to avoid induction of labour.
Rosie Goode - Hypnobirthing teacher. Another class we love and can recommend highly.
Dr Andrew McIver - A good private GP with Paediatric experience
Katherine Whitby - An amazingly experienced Paediatric Nurse and Health Visitor, Katherine and her team teach baby first aid and illness classes as well as classes on weaning.
Camilla Lawrence - Physiotherapist who specialises in women's health. She works for Six Physio whose practice philosophy we also love.
