April Baby Physio
About
April specialises in early development to give the support you and your baby need, right from the start.
April Baby Physio was started to share evidenced based advice with parents & get early intervention to those who need it.
April 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.
