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.

Mums Matter is dedicated to providing accessible and affordable perinatal psychology services for all women who are feeling emotionally or mentally challenged by the transition to parenthood.

Frances Bilbao (Clinical Psychologist and Director) created Mums Matter Psychology in 2015 with the aim of helping all women experience meaning and fulfillment in motherhood, as well as a positive relationship with their child.

We aim to make services ACCESSIBLE and AFFORDABLE to everyone.

To do this we partner with local council Maternal & Child Health centres and Maternity Hospitals to offer services from family friendly rooms close to your home and offer TELEHEALTH so you can access services from anywhere.

And, we offer bulk billing under Medicare (no out of pocket expense) so you can afford to seek help.

We provide individual and group therapy through a team of specially trained perinatal mental health clinicians who hear stories of motherhood each and everyday and an empathsise and understand. They have special training in working with you on common emotional and mental health issues experienced in pregnancy and early parenthood.
