Why The Women’s Chiro?

So much of the established literature and research on health has been conducted on men, because the cycling hormones in women were considered an uncontrollable variable. Nevermind the fact that it’s that uncontrollable variable that is the very essence of being a woman and becoming a mother (and that ~50% of the population are women and ~50% of women in Australia have cycling hormones). 

The reality is that we cannot separate any aspect of your health from your physiology as a woman, and doing so would be a disservice to you. So, at The Women’s Chiro, we use your period as a regular report card on your health, not looking to cover up your symptoms but to get to the root cause and restore function. We look at everything through the lens of cycling hormones (if that applies to you) and how we can create alignment in all areas of your life, not just your spine ;) 

I’m here to celebrate your womanhood - the perfect, intricate design that allows you to create life, to nourish a child, to mother with ease and grace (and with rage and big feelings too) because you hold it all in your body and it you deserve a space to be held and heard and supported.

Good health happens by design

I believe that good health doesn’t happen by chance, or by luck, but by considered, consistent, intentional decisions made day in and day out. 

That means knowing your options and having as much information as you want and need to make an informed, well-educated decision.

It doesn’t mean that every decision is the ‘right’ one, but it means that you’re always striving to know more so you can be the best version of yourself.  

In the clinic and in the studio, that looks like  educating my clients about your bodies, why you feel the way you do, and how you can use that information to make decisions that most align with your health goals.

Making intentional decisions is the difference between 

• Playing a passive or active role in your health 

• Reacting or responding to a change in circumstance

• Allowing others to tell you how to live or learning to make choices for yourself

• Accepting only one form of management/treatment or exploring your options

• Becoming complacent or empowered

There are many paths to a goal, and they won’t all be suited to you. Health happens when we make intentional decisions that all contribute to the bigger picture.
