Your body is doing something extraordinary. It makes sense that it's asking for help.
Perhaps you notice it turning over in bed. Getting out of the car. That ache low in the pelvis by the end of the day, or the ribs that never quite have enough room. None of it means anything is wrong, it means your body is adapting fast, and adaptation is easier with guidance.
When you understand why a change is happening, and you have hands-on care and the right movement for it, the whole experience softens. Most women tell Anna the difference is not only less pain, it's feeling capable again.
Hands-on care, then seven weeks of knowing exactly how to move.
Two 1:1 osteopathy sessions
A full assessment of how your pregnancy is loading your spine, pelvis and ribs, then gentle, drug-free treatment. Your own findings shape what you're given in class. Your second session is either midway through or after the programme, depending on your needs.
Seven weeks of specialist Pilates
Ninety minutes each week including the education, led by Anna herself, not a general class with a pregnancy modification. A maximum of 6 women, so every cue is adjusted to the body in front of her.
Education at the start of class
A short education session at the start of every class on what is changing in your body, pelvis, ribs, pelvic floor, posture, birth positions, and how to work with it rather than against it.
The women beside you
The same faces each week, all in the same season of life. Between classes, the WhatsApp group is there for helpful tips, gentle reminders and encouragement.
For two 1:1 osteopathy sessions, seven weekly specialist prenatal Pilates classes, weekly education, and a WhatsApp group for tips and encouragement between classes.
Four kinds of support, each doing a different job, so your body and mind are cared for together.
During pregnancy, hormones soften your ligaments, your centre of gravity moves forward and your ribs make room for your baby. Treatment on its own can ease discomfort, and exercise on its own can build strength. Combined with understanding and company, the changes tend to last and pregnancy feels less daunting.
Osteopathy eases
Gentle, hands-on treatment helps ease tension in your back, pelvis and ribs and restores comfortable movement. Your 1:1 assessment also shapes what you do in class.
Pilates supports
Specialist prenatal Pilates builds the deep support of breath, pelvic floor, hips and back, so your body is better able to carry your growing baby and stay comfortable between treatments.
Education explains
Each class starts by teaching you about your changing body: what to expect, what is normal and what is worth checking, and how to work with your body as it adapts. You also get practical advice on sleeping, sitting, lifting and positions for birth.
The group connects
Sharing this time with a few women at the same stage brings reassurance, friendship and encouragement, and makes it easier to keep going week after week.
“I felt more comfortable, more mobile and much more relaxed.”
“During my third trimester, I was struggling with low back and rib pain. Anna really listened to my concerns and treated me with such a gentle approach. Afterwards, I noticed a real difference in how I was moving and feeling. She also gave me simple tools to help manage my rib pain at home, which made such a difference.”
“Within just a couple of sessions, my headaches had gone.”
“By the end of each workday, I was getting headaches from sitting at my computer while pregnant. Anna helped me understand how pregnancy was changing my posture and gave me simple exercises and tips, including drinking enough water. Within just a couple of sessions, my headaches had gone. I felt more comfortable, more aware of my body and much better equipped to help myself.”
Gentle by design, and delivered by a registered osteopath.
Osteopathy in pregnancy is non-invasive and drug-free. Anna is UK-trained and registered, with years of postgraduate training in women's health, and every technique and exercise is chosen for the trimester you are in.
Best for women past 12 weeks who want to keep moving and feel strong throughout their pregnancy. Not all pregnancies are straightforward, though. If you are unsure whether Pilates is right for you during this pregnancy, it may be worthwhile speaking to your midwife or OB-GYN first.
Osteopathy for women, by an osteopath who has specialised in it for years.
Anna Scullard is a UK-trained and registered osteopath with 20 years' experience, practising in Casares Costa and Estepona, specialising in women's health and paediatrics. Alongside general practice she has undertaken many years of postgraduate training in women's health: pregnancy and postnatal care, pelvic pain, pelvic floor, and the transitions that come with them.
Her approach is holistic and unhurried: understand the whole person, treat gently, explain everything, and send you home knowing what to do between sessions. Consultations in English or Spanish.
Questions mums-to-be usually ask
Classes are for women past the 12-week stage of pregnancy. If you are interested in joining after the start date, please contact Anna directly on WhatsApp.
Yes. The group is limited to 6 women so that every exercise is set to your body, your trimester and your day. Complete beginners are the norm, not the exception.
A conversation about your history and symptoms, a physical assessment, and gentle hands-on treatment, plus advice on sleeping, sitting, lifting and preparing for birth. You'll leave with a plan, not just a treatment.
Babies keep their own diary. Talk to Anna. Missed weeks can be picked up with an online class or converted into postnatal care.
Message Anna on WhatsApp to reserve your place. You can pay in full, or in two equal payments: €210 + €210 at the early bird price (until 18 October), or €235 + €235 at the usual price. Pay securely by card, Bizum or bank transfer.

Sí. Anna atiende en inglés y español, y las clases se explican en ambos idiomas cuando el grupo lo necesita.
The care doesn't stop when your baby arrives.
A postnatal check for you and your baby is recommended after the birth.
Gentle treatment to help your body recover from pregnancy and labour, and to ease the new strains of feeding, carrying and lifting.
With a Master's in Paediatric Osteopathy, Anna can help with breastfeeding positions, latch difficulties, care before and after tongue-tie release, reflux, colic and positional preference. Gentle cranial osteopathy is used to help soothe and relax your baby, and these techniques are suitable for children at every stage of development.
Picture the last few weeks: supported, informed, and looking forward to meeting your baby.
