Femmi Pod
Welcome to the Femmi Pod. Femmi has been built to empower women through movement, education and connection. At Femmi we are building a community of women who can support, inspire and educate one another on how to move with our bodies and not against them. Founders, Lydia O’Donnell and Esther Keown, have come together to kick start more conversations about women, how we can make the most of our bodies, our hormones and ourselves.
