We had such a great time at the Halifax Pregnancy and Parenting Expo - connecting with new parents, and parents-to-be - having meaningful conversations about movement, recovery, and care through pregnancy and beyond.

Events like this are always so special - not only for the chance to meet new faces, but also to see so many of our friends and local businesses showing up and supporting one another.

Truly an event we’ve enjoyed being part of since it first began!

Thank you to for hosting the expo and for sponsoring. As well, thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello! We look forward to seeing you again.
