Clio's birth experience with her daughter 6 years ago was traumatic and left her with so much pain that went undiagnosed for almost year. As well as leaving her with PTSD the whole experience made the first year of motherhood one she had not envisioned or prepared for.

Thankfully, Clio got the help she needed and because of her experience she is now a big women's health advocate, talking passionately about the importance of self-care for mums, postnatal recovery and sex and launched her wellness business, &Breathe.
