Pregnancy Yoga & Postnatal Yoga
Virginia is a brilliant, certified Yoga Instructor with specialist qualifications in Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga. She offers private sessions, group classes, workshops and retreats in Yorkshire and virtually.
Pregnancy or prenatal yoga is a fantastic way to not only to prepare your body for birth, but to also relieve any possible anxieties and depression which may be heightened by significant hormonal changes during pregnancy.
​
Postnatally, postnatal yoga can be an excellent form of movement, breathwork & meditative practices after you have given birth. The body has undergone a great deal of changes physically, hormonally, emotionally and mentally throughout conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Virginia offers a safe space to not only rehabilitate the physical body but also explore and release emotions, bringing calmness and aid the transition into parenthood.

Fertility Support & Women's Health
Jo is an expert when it comes to fertility, IVF and women's health.​ If you are pregnant or recently had a baby and your body isn't quite what it used to be or if you are trying to conceive but don't understand why you've not been successful, had miscarriages that you are trying to recover from emotionally & physically or want support preparing & going through the IVF process, then Jo Kirk Therapies is for you.
During pregnancy you might find that you experience some health conditions that cause you some discomfort. This is very common when your body is rapidly changing and you are carrying the weight of a tiny human. However, you do not just have to "put up with it" for 9 months.
​
Jo offers various treatments including:
-
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has a long and successful history of supporting health conditions. Acupuncture techniques can provide effective pain relief and many people feel deeply relaxed during the treatment.
-
Moxibustion
Moxibustion can be used over specific acupuncture points during pregnancy or post birth, to stimulate circulation, boost energy and treat chronic pain. Did you know that moxibustion can also be a very effective way of turning a breech baby? It has a success rate of approximately 65-67%.
-
Reflexology
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing. By reducing stress and tension, it can be extremely effective in optimising good health and building resilience.​ It is an all round holistic approach, supporting and improving your chances of successful conception and a healthy pregnancy.

Pelvic Floor & Pelvic Support
During pregnancy or after birth, you could find that your pelvic floor isn't what it used to be. Jo can provide support for pregnancy, post partum pain, prudential neuralgia and pelvic floor pain after birth.​​
