FAQ

When should I start this programme?

We generally recommend starting the programme between Week 16 and Week 20 of pregnancy. However, it can be adapted depending on your individual needs. Earlier sessions allow for more time to implement strategies and build confidence.
An internal vaginal assessment isn’t mandatory but may be offered if it’s clinically relevant and only with your full consent. After six weeks postpartum, we recommend a pelvic floor assessment to check strength, tissue support and overall function. When done during pregnancy, it gives us valuable baseline information that guides your recovery and long-term pelvic health.
Yes, you’ll need to attend all four sessions of our Rooted for Birth programme to receive full support and be part of our Rooted for Birth community. You’ll also receive a complimentary 45-minute postpartum Zoom session with each of our doula and physiotherapist (within 8 weeks of birth), covering self-care, recovery tips and early muscle activation.

Can my partner join every session?

CHLOE NG
Co-founder, Senior Physiotherapist

Chloe is a dedicated women’s health physiotherapist whose personal and professional journey has shaped her compassionate approach to care. Early in her career, she noticed that many women’s health concerns, including incontinence, painful intercourse and fertility challenges, were often dismissed or left unspoken. This sparked her commitment to specialise in pelvic health and provide women with the support they deserve.

She pursued training in pelvic health assessment and management, and integrates Polestar Pilates principles into her practice to restore functional movement, postural alignment, and overall wellbeing.

Her personal decision to go through two unmedicated births reinforced her belief in the power of education, preparation, and informed support during pregnancy and beyond.
