Clare Bourne is a pelvic health physiotherapist based in London. She has specialised in pelvic health for the last 9 years and has had two children in this time which has allowed her to experience for herself the importance of caring for our pelvic health through motherhood. Since 2020 Clare has been sharing regular pelvic health content and information on instagram and has grown a following of over 40k, and has been amazed by the hunger and passion from women to get help and understand their pelvic health more. She has seen a huge shift in the last few years of women being fed up with having to accept symptoms as just part of their life and motherhood. Clare has worked with a number of influencers to help them improve their own health. Clare has also contributed to other books.
‘Clare is the voice of reason when it comes to pelvic health. She educates, empowers and offers practical tips to help women through all stages of their lives. As a currently pregnant woman, I shall be book marking the “Birth, bump and beyond” chapter for the foreseeable!’ Dr Sara Kayat ‘As a gynaecologist I thought I was well-informed when it came to pelvic floor health, but after 2 appointments with Clare I realised how much more there was to know! Now everyone can have access to Clare's fantastic knowledge & skills through this book that I'll be recommending it to all of my patients.’ Dr Anita Mitra ‘Warm, wise and vitally important! Every woman should read this book. When you meet someone so passionate about the pelvic floor that they carry a plastic pelvis in their handbag, you sit up and listen. Within seconds of listening to Clare talk, I gained a whole new respect for my body. Clare is a woman on a mission […] she compassionately and skilfully ensures that women are equipped with the tools to nurture a chronically overlooked part of their body that (quite literally) holds them together. This book is a much needed handbook, a roadmap, a letter to our bodies.’ Anna Mathur, author ‘Pelvic floor health is a little discussed subject. Most women have no idea of the importance until they experience symptoms, most commonly post natal or in the menopause. At this point they then may well be too embarrassed to seek help. This book should change that by empowering women with knowledge and understanding so thta they can seek the help they need.’ Dr Naomi Potter ‘A revolutionary book that changes your entire view on the female body.’ Chessie King 'If there is one book that all females should read to have the foundational understanding to get to know their pelvic floor and learn how to keep it working at its best – this is it! I have finished this book feeling like my body is a marvel to be cared for and honoured.' Dr Martha Deiros Collado
