Have you heard more people talking about creatine lately?

You’re not imagining it, and it’s not just hype.

I started looking into creatine for my own health and was surprised by what the research shows. It’s not about building bulk, it’s about building energy, brain clarity, and strength in a way that supports women through every stage of life.

This post breaks down what creatine is, what it actually does, and why more women are starting to include it in their wellness routines.

If you’ve been curious about it, or just feel like your energy and recovery need a little more support, I hope this helps.

This beautiful lady had her last appointment before her little one arrives with me today and I’m so grateful to have been part of her pregnancy journey. 🤰🏻

Every pregnancy is unique, and it’s a privilege to support women like Emma through the incredible changes that come with growing a new life. It’s a role I never take for granted.

We can’t wait to see Emma back in the clinic soon with her beautiful baby in her arms. 💚

Is it normal to feel pelvic pain during pregnancy?

It’s a question I get asked all the time in my clinic and the answer is yes, it’s very common. In fact up to 80% of pregnant women will suffer with pelvic pain during their pregnancy.

But that doesn’t mean you have to just “put up with it.”

Pelvic pain can show up in lots of ways; sharp pain near the p***c bone, a deep ache across the hips, lower back stiffness, or even pain that shoots down the legs.

For some women, it’s just uncomfortable. For others, it can make simple things like walking or rolling over in bed feel really difficult.

In this post, I’ve shared a few of the common causes I see in clinic, when it might be time to get some support, and some gentle things you can try at home.

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it’s not always easy.
If pain is making it harder than it needs to be, you’re not alone and there are safe, gentle ways we can help. ☺️💚

So why does winter make everything ache more? 
Spoiler: it’s not just the cold ❄️🦴

Colder weather can lead to increased joint and muscle pain — but it’s not just a seasonal coincidence. When temperatures drop, blood vessels constrict to conserve heat, reducing circulation to the extremities and soft tissues. This can cause joints to feel stiffer and muscles to feel tighter, especially if inflammation is already present.

On top of that, we tend to move less in winter — and research shows inactivity can worsen symptoms like stiffness, fatigue, and chronic pain.

What helps (and why): ✨Keep moving: Gentle, consistent movement helps maintain joint mobility and improves blood flow — even a daily walk can reduce symptoms.
 ✨ Stay warm: Using heat packs or layering up helps relax tight muscles and reduce discomfort by improving circulation.
 ✨ Support your body well: Quality sleep, nutrient-rich meals (especially omega-3s), and body treatments like chiropractic care can help regulate inflammation and improve recovery.
 ✨ Watch your stress: Cortisol spikes can heighten pain sensitivity — supporting your nervous system with rest, breathing techniques, and spinal alignment can make a noticeable difference.

Winter doesn’t have to mean waking up sore and stiff. If your body’s talking, it’s worth listening.

Hormonal headaches — they’re common, but that doesn’t mean you should just put up with them.

For many women, these headaches show up like clockwork before their period. That’s because oestrogen takes a sharp dip, which can trigger changes in your brain chemistry, increase tension, and leave you feeling foggy, achy, or downright miserable.

They’re real. They’re disruptive. And they’re often misunderstood — especially when they come with tight shoulders, sore necks, or jaw pain too.

✨ The good news, you can support your body through them.
 Holistic care can help ease the physical tension, support your nervous system, and give your hormones a softer landing each month.

💬 If headaches are becoming part of your monthly routine, it might be time to explore what your body is really telling you.

Have you noticed a pattern with your headaches and your cycle? Awareness is the first step toward meaningful support. ☺️💚

Shoutout to Kayla 📣

This morning was one for the books — computer glitches, terminal meltdowns, technicians in the clinic and on the phone … and through it all, Kayla kept things running smoothly with a smile. ☺️

She made every patient feel seen and supported, and we’re so lucky to have her. 🥰

Grateful beyond words for her and our incredible team! 😊

Thank You Kayla! 💚

PS: We’re open tomorrow and have a few chiro spots left — if your week’s been as glitchy as ours, you might need some love too 😅

Feeling off lately? It might not be just your workload.
 Hybrid work, inconsistent routines, and endless meetings can mess with more than your calendar — they can throw your whole system out of sync.

Women’s bodies thrive on rhythm. When that rhythm gets disrupted, we feel it: in our mood, energy, sleep, focus… even our posture.

🧠 A 2022 study in Menopause found that irregular routines and poor sleep can make hormonal symptoms and fatigue worse in peri-menopausal women. And it’s not just hormones — your nervous system needs some consistency to function well too.

Here are a few small shifts that can help: ✔️ Stick to similar wake/sleep times (even on WFH days) ✔️ Schedule micro-breaks — 5 mins is enough to reset your system ✔️ Keep snacks nearby that support your body: almonds, Greek yoghurt, boiled eggs, edamame, tuna snack packs, or a smoothie

✨ Sometimes the best thing you can do for your productivity… is listen to your body.

👋🏻 If your workday feels off — you’re stiff, tired, or just not yourself — this is where I come in. As a chiropractor, I help women understand what their body’s saying, and how to support it with simple, real-life strategies. ☺️💚

As Mother’s Day draws to a close here in Adelaide, we just wanted to send a big, heartfelt hug to every kind of mum in our community:

💚 To the mums raising little ones (and running on coffee). 💚 To the soon-to-be mums, feeling every flutter and kick. 💚 To those dreaming, hoping, and on the journey to becoming mums. 💚 To the stepmums, bonus mums, and mother figures who stepped up with love. 💚 To the grandmas, aunties, carers, and “mum friends” who mother in their own beautiful ways. 💚 To those who chose not to be mums but support others with fierce love. 💚 And to those missing their mums today — we see you, and we send you comfort and care.

Mother’s Day can be joyful, complicated, heartwarming or heavy (sometimes all in one day). So whether you’ve had breakfast in bed, been showered in flowers or just managed to hide in the bathroom for five minutes of peace — you’re doing amazing.

So to our beautiful Mothers — thank you for being you. And to my darling daughter, who features in the photo, thank you for being the heart behind everything I do. 💚

Happy Mother’s Day! ☺️💚

😩 “Why do I feel tired, puffy, snappy… and not quite me?”
 If you’ve ever asked that, you’re not alone — and no, it’s not just your hormones.

Your nervous system plays a big role in how your body balances stress, sleep, mood, and digestion. And when your spine isn’t moving well, that communication gets fuzzy.

That’s where chiropractic comes in — not to ‘fix’ you, but to help your body function like it’s meant to. Because when your brain and body are in sync, everything feels a little clearer.

💫 You deserve to feel like you again — not just push through it. ☺️💚

🌸 Peri-Menopause Brain Fog: What’s Really Happening? 🌸

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there? Lost your train of thought mid-sentence?
 You’re not imagining it — “brain fog” during peri-menopause is very real.

Research published in Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society (2021) found that nearly 60% of women in peri-menopause report noticeable memory and cognitive changes. Shifts in oestrogen levels can affect the parts of the brain responsible for memory, attention, and processing speed.

The good news? There are ways to support brain health during this phase, in fact through all phases of life — by improving spinal alignment (which influences blood flow to the brain) to nourishing your body with key nutrients and even using acupuncture to regulate hormones naturally.

🧠 Here are 3 simple ways to support your brain:
 ➔ Move Your Body Daily: Just a 20-minute walk can boost brain blood flow and regulate mood.
 ➔ Prioritize Omega-3s: Include foods like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds to help protect cognitive function.
 ➔ Sleep Smarter: 7–9 hours of quality sleep helps your brain reset and recharge. Chiropractic and acupuncture can help support better sleep patterns too!

✨ Your brain is amazing. Let’s help it thrive through every season of life. ☺️💚
