I am up to something! Coming soon: Libra Pelvic Health. A social enterprise that increases access to pelvic health physiotherapy globally through small-group education for health professionals. First task: I am offering 3 pro bono training sessions so that I can develop this program with real-life experience and real-time feedback. One online training session in Nairobi, Kenya is complete, with positive feedback. Next stops: in-person sessions in Rwanda and Kenya in late 2024/early 2025. If you are inspired to support the expenditures required for this trip....please see below for details! Any donations or even best wishes are appreciated. Photo taken by me near Kigali in 2007.
