Getting children involved in gardening can sound lovely in theory, but in reality it does not always go to plan. Some children lose interest quickly, others dislike getting muddy, and many would rather be doing something else entirely. Over time, we found that the key to making gardening work as a family activity was to keep it relaxed, flexible and pressure-free.

These treatments target the specific changes pregnancy creates, such as tightening separated abdominal muscles, reducing resistant fat pockets, and improving skin texture, all without incisions, anesthesia, or taking time away from your baby. They’re about recovery, tightening, and toning, not weight loss.
