about
mission
April baby physio was started to share evidenced based advice with parents & get early intervention to those who need it
April specialises in early years development from birth to 3 years, and has worked in paediatrics since 2012. She provides a holistic, play based approach that places parents with their baby at the centre.
After becoming a mum herself she noticed a lack of reliable information, and a lot of fear mongering for new parents. She is passionate about offloading unnecessary worry & guilt from new mums - supporting them to find confidence & joy in their little ones development.
