Simone Holtznagel has given an insight into her newborn daughter Gia having hydrotherapy in an adorable post.
The Australian model, 30, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday to share a sweet video of her one-month-old daughter Gia, who was born on Easter Sunday.
In the footage, Gia was seen floating in the water with the help of a floating aid as she had a hydrotherapy session, with her proud mother Simone watching on.
Infant hydrotherapy can help to strengthen the bones and muscles of a child and can also assist with growing pains.
Alongside the sweet post, Simone gushed: ‘My lil muffin visits @babyspaaustralia for hydrotherapy.’

One hydrotherapy session at Baby Spa Australia costs $95, while a five-session deal is available for $425, and a 10 sessions cost a total of $795.
Her latest post comes after Simone revealed the meaning behind her daughter’s name, Gia.
Simone and her boyfriend Jono Castano have told how the moniker Gia is a nod to supermodel Gia Carangi, who tragically died of AIDS in 1986.
Carangi became one of the most sought-after models in fashion and a fixture at the legendary nightclub Studio 54 after moving to New York in 1977.
She was one of the first openly gay fashion icons, who often visited DCA, a gay club in the city where she met Sharon Beverley, one of her first long-term partners.

Her life played out on screen 12 years after her death, with a young Angelina Jolie taking on the role of the troubled model in the 1998 movie, Gia.
Simone said the couple haven’t ruled out naming their next child after her late mentor and Australia’s Next Top Model judge Charlotte Dawson, who died in 2014.
‘Lottie was on our shortlist, so if we have another baby, it could be that,’ she told Stellar magazine.
‘After Charlotte passed away, I had a bunch of her clothes, including this Camilla kaftan.
‘My mum’s bestie cut it up and made it into a baby blanket for me. She gave it to me at my baby shower and I bawled my eyes out, so that is super special.’
Simone confirmed that she had given birth to her daughter in a post shared to Instagram earlier this month.
