Your baby needs a regulated nervous system, and that starts with yours. Gentle chiropractic care adapted for your transformative journey into motherhood.
Pregnancy care
Motherhood is a transformational journey that begins long before birth, from preconception through pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.
We are honoured to support women and their families through this special season, helping them feel more comfortable, balanced and empowered along the way.
Pregnancy brings incredible physical and hormonal changes as your body adapts to support your growing baby. These changes can affect how you move, feel and function, with tension or discomfort developing through the spine, pelvis and surrounding tissues.
Pregnancy is also a time of deep connection between mother and baby. Supporting mum’s nervous system, sense of safety and overall wellbeing can help create a calm, supportive environment for both mum and baby.
These changes may contribute to symptoms such as:
Our pregnancy care focuses on supporting your body as it changes through each stage. We use gentle, pregnancy-specific chiropractic care, including chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, Webster Technique and Optimal Maternal Positioning.
Care is tailored to you, with a focus on comfortable movement, reducing tension and supporting pelvic balance. We also provide practical guidance around posture, movement and daily habits to support you throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Postpartum care
While much attention is placed on pregnancy and birth, the postnatal period is just as important. As your body recovers from birth and adapts to caring for a newborn, it continues to undergo significant physical, hormonal and emotional changes.
The demands of feeding, carrying, lifting, settling and caring for your baby, often alongside disrupted sleep and limited time for recovery, can place additional strain on the body and nervous system.
Many mothers experience symptoms such as:
Our approach to postnatal care focuses on supporting your recovery, restoring movement and helping your body adapt to the new demands of motherhood.
Through gentle, individualised care, we aim to improve mobility, reduce areas of tension and discomfort, and support your body's natural healing and recovery process.
Whether you are adjusting to life with a newborn, returning to exercise, or simply wanting to feel more comfortable in your body again, our goal is to help you feel supported, confident and cared for during this important stage of your motherhood journey.
What to expect
We use specialised adjusting techniques and supportive positioning to keep you comfortable and well supported throughout pregnancy and postpartum, adapting your care as your body changes.
Our initial appointment is more than an assessment. We take the time to listen to your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience and understand your unique needs and concerns. From there, we tailor your care to support you through this stage of life.
We take the time to understand your individual needs, where you are in your pregnancy or postpartum journey, and what you’d like support with. From there, we create a personalised care plan tailored to you and your current needs. Every step is explained clearly, so you feel informed, comfortable and confident in your care.
Each visit begins with a check in to see how you’re feeling and how your body is adapting. We then provide personalised chiropractic care tailored to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery and what your body needs that day.
Your care continues to evolve as your body changes throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Regular wellness visits provide an opportunity to check in, follow your progress and adapt your care to your changing needs, with a focus on supporting your comfort, movement and overall wellbeing.

Treatment will be tailored to each stage, with techniques that are pregnancy based. We have pregnancy friendly treatment tables that allow us to position you and adjust safely during your whole pregnancy. We also have specialised pregnancy pillows to cushion your growing baby for every stage that will allow you to lie on face down during treatment. If lying face down feels uncomfortable, we can treat you in a side lying or sitting position because all treatment and adjustments are tailored to how your body feels and your pregnancy stage. We have pregnancy friendly treatment tables that allow us to position you and adjust safely during your whole pregnancy.
Yes you can. Being free from pain or discomfort is not an indicator that your alignment is optimal. Mum's will experience ligament laxity due to hormonal changes, muscle tension, and a shift in their centre of gravity while baby is growing. Therefore, many mums come in to get their pelvis checked to ensure they're moving well while their bodies are adapting to the stages of pregnancy.
Yes of course it can! Cindy loves and welcomes collaborative care with other practitioners in your maternity team to ensure you have the best care in during pregnancy and after birth.
Timing depends on your recovery and wider care context. You are welcome to ask before booking so Cindy can help you choose an appropriate next step.
Of course babies and children are always welcome to your appointment. If you have another family member with you, we are also located to cafes and play areas that are within walking distance from the clinic.
