chiropractic, DONE DIFFERENTLY

More than pain relief

As your trusted Elwood and St Kilda Chiropractor, I look beyond symptoms to understand how your body moves, uncover root causes of discomfort, and deliver personalised chiropractic care to restore ease, function, and the freedom to enjoy life again.

Dr. Carolyn hawke

B.App.Sci(Comp Med Chiro)/M.ClinChiro


I graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Complementary Medicine) and a Master of Clinical Chiropractic with distinction in 2010. I have a strong passion for holistic health and a special interest in pregnancy chiropractic care, postpartum care, and paediatric chiropractic, supporting families through Elwood, St Kilda, Bayside, Brighton, and greater Melbourne.

As a dedicated Webster Certified Pregnancy Chiropractor and Kids Chiropractor in Elwood, I have completed extensive postgraduate training in pregnancy and paediatric care and am a proud member of the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association (ICPA). I provide gentle, evidence-informed chiropractic care tailored to the unique needs of pregnant women, babies, and growing children across the Bayside and Melbourne community.

I also have a strong interest in sports chiropractic, with the privilege of working with athletes across elite sporting environments, including AFL, AFLW, and WBBL. I am particularly passionate about supporting junior athletes in Bayside and Melbourne, helping them optimise movement, recover from injury, and build strong foundations for long-term athletic performance and resilience.

I take a holistic, individualised approach to chiropractic care, aiming to identify the root cause of pain and dysfunction rather than simply treating symptoms. My care incorporates a wide range of techniques, including Diversified and Gonstead adjustments, Thompson drop-piece technique, gentle Activator methods, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) blocks, as well as soft tissue therapy, massage, and personalised rehabilitative exercise programs for patients in Elwood, St Kilda, Brighton, and surrounding Melbourne suburbs.
