Our Story
Our Founder, Tor
Tor has a background of over a decade as a Physiotherapist and has worked in hospitals, schools and clinics in the UK and Asia. She is also a qualified Bowen Therapist and loves treating in an integrative way, tailoring her therapy to each client. Tor has completed additional specialist training in scar therapy with Alistair McLoughlin, and is a fully certified Mummy MOT® Practitioner.
It was after her first daughter was born via caesarean that she decided to shift her focus to working with pre and post-natal women; particularly those planning, or having had, caesarean births.
Tor is passionate about empowering women to be well-informed and well prepared for their births and postnatal rehabilitation, and about sharing high-quality information and advice to help women thrive after caesarean birth. It was during Tor's second pregnancy, and planning for her second caesarean birth, that the idea for a caesarean recovery kit shifted from a few hastily scribbled notes on her phone to a more structured idea. In the midst of the blurry days of the fourth trimester, The C-Section Kit was born.
"I speak to so many women who say "but why was I not told I should do this?" and it is incredibly frustrating that mums, particularly C-section mums, are being let down so much when it comes to their preparation, recovery and aftercare. No other major surgery receives so little standardised follow-up or rehabilitation. Women are simply sent home with a seven layer incision across their abdomen and told not to lift anything heavier than their newborn baby for six weeks. No scar care, little to no rehab guidance and no specialist recovery support."
"New mums are incredibly time-poor and often put their self-care and recovery at the bottom of the priority list when a new baby arrives, but women are increasingly searching for specialist advice and support both before and after giving birth. I wanted to create something which would be both beneficial AND convenient, but still feel like a treat (because all new mums deserve a treat!); combining physiotherapist guidance and the best recovery products, delivered to your door." - Tor, Physiotherapist & Founder
