Birth Circle

Nurtured Medical is a bespoke medical clinic offering support for preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and early parenthood, including breastfeeding/ feeding support and infant and child sleep support for new parents.

Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a perinatal counsellor, parenting cheerleader and mother. I’ve worked with hundreds of parents struggling in silence and it’s my mission to make early parenthood way more fun and way less sh*t.

I understand how it feels to doubt yourself, as a parent, and to struggle mentally, feeling like you’ve lost yourself. I’ve been there too.

Through compassionate counselling or birth debriefing, I can help you work through the ups and downs of life as a parent, and find heaps more confidence and self-compassion.

I also run an epic postpartum preparation and support program called Beyond Birth, and offer evidence-based, holistic parenting support once your little one arrives.

I believe parenting is too difficult and too beautiful to do alone. I’d be honoured to be part of your village of support.

Hi, I’m Dr. Erin Hawken, a passionate Chiropractor dedicated to supporting mothers, babies, and families in their journey to a calm, clear, connected and resilient life. Having completed my postgraduate study in Chiropractic care for pregnancy, babies and children and being certificatied in the Webster technique, I have almost 20 years experience in looking after families through all the important times in life.

My journey in chiropractic began in my own family, where regular Chiropractic care was our first approach to health. This lifelong experience taught me that Chiropractic is more than just treating symptoms – it’s about creating a pathway to better living, healing, and connection.

I care for people with many different needs including:

• Newborns struggling with constipation, feeding issues, or reflux
• Mothers experiencing pregnancy-related discomfort or simply wanting to optimise their body for birth and beyond
• Children struggling to meet their developmental milestones
• Families seeking holistic health and stress management
• Professionals dealing with stress, sleep issues, energy and mood challenges

My gentle, compassionate approach focuses on helping your nervous system change gears into your parasympathetic, rest & digest state – this is where your body can truly regulate and regenerate itself. This state is crucial for healing, development, creativity, and even experiencing deeper connections with yourself and your loved ones.

Whether you’re an expecting mother, a new parent, or simply someone seeking a more balanced, resilient approach to health, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you rediscover life through a healthier body and a more clear, connected state of being. Let’s work together to unlock your body’s incredible potential for healing, growth, and well-being.
