Jo was the complete hero of my pregnancy. I would arrive to a session feeling groggy and miserable from morning sickness, and leave feeling energized and nausea-free! All of the work and preparation we did made me stronger and more ready to deliver my baby girl. Jo knew everything about my changing body and I now recommend prenatal Pilates to every pregnant friend I have.
