About Maternal Instincts Massage
Maternal Instincts is an award winning pre and postnatal massage therapy service, that truly understands the specific treatments that expectant and new mothers need.
Our Postnatal treatments help to give relief to neck and shoulder tension that develops from feeding (breast or bottle) as well as back pain as a result of delivery or from the extra sitting to feed and the bending associated with newborns. We are also trained specifically in c-section scar massage to help aid in recovery.
Our treatments are fantastic at helping mums gain some much-needed rest and “me time”. However, babies are always welcome at these treatments and feeding/ skin to skin time can definitely be accommodated – especially if mum and bub don’t get a chance for much bonding at home.
At Maternal Instincts Massage we specialise in helping women regain their confidence and comfort through massage therapy and innovative treatments. Now, we’re excited to also offer you a non-invasive pelvic floor solution that can address the core issues of bladder leaks and sexual health: Emsella. Whether you’re dealing with postpartum incontinence or simply want to improve your pelvic health as you age, Emsella can help you regain control and feel empowered in your own body

EMSELLA SPECIAL OFFER
6 sessions for only $999! Save over $250!
EMSELLA is a great option for women of any age who desire a non-invasive solution for urinary incontinence and improvement in their quality of life.
Due to factors such as the body’s normal aging, childbirth or menopause, the pelvic floor muscles decondition and insufficiently support the pelvic organs. These factors directly correlate with urinary incontinence.

Home. Chiropractic Studio
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.

How to Talk About Sharing the Mental Load with Your Partner: A Complete Guide
In many households, the mental and emotional work of managing a family, often called the invisible load, falls disproportionately on mothers. It's not just about doing tasks; it's about carrying the mental checklist: remembering appointments, organising activities, planning meals, and anticipating everyone's needs. Over time, this invisible mental load can lead to resentment, overwhelm, and burnout.
