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.

Hi, I’m Alana Colahan – an integrative chiropractor passionate about supporting women, babies and families through every stage of life. My approach to care is holistic and family-focused, blending gentle chiropractic techniques with a deep understanding of the unique needs of mums and little ones.

I have completed further postgraduate studies in women’s health, pregnancy, postpartum and paediatrics, which gives me additional knowledge and training to care for mothers and children. My focus is on providing thoughtful, individualised care with an integrative approach, including lifestyle, diet and exercise guidance, tailored to the needs of mums and little ones to help you and your family feel supported and thrive.

I support women and families with many different concerns, including:

• Newborns: gentle checks post birth, unsettled behaviour, feeding difficulties, torticollis, tongue tie, hip dysplasia, head asymmetry, nervous system regulation after birth
• Infants & Children: support for developmental milestones, primitive reflex integration, nervous system balance to aid growth, movement and learning
• Pregnancy: birth preparation, optimal maternal positioning, nervous system regulation to support a calm, balanced body
• Pregnancy-Related Discomfort: pelvic girdle or pubic symphysis pain, round ligament tension, low back pain, hip pain, sciatica
• Women’s Health: preconception and fertility care, postpartum recovery, hormone balance, perimenopause and menopause support

I am a psychologist working in the area of maternal mental health and am passionate about helping mothers navigate the ups and downs of motherhood. After becoming a mother myself, I realised what an immense adjustment it is and how mothers need to be better supported.Mothers need to be nourished physically, mentally and emotionally just as much as the babies do.
