About
Meet Dr Carina
Caring for families in the Illawarra for over five years, with a special interest in women's health, pregnancy, postpartum care and paediatric chiropractic.
Over this time, she has provided more than 20,000 chiropractic adjustments to members of the local community. She is passionate about supporting families through every stage of life, helping them feel empowered, connected, and supported in their health journey.
After experiencing the benefits of natural healthcare as a child, Dr Carina developed a lifelong passion for helping others explore conservative, natural-informed approaches to health and wellbeing. This experience inspired her to create a practice where women and children feel genuinely listened to, cared for, and supported.
The Healing Nest was created to be a calm, welcoming space where the local community can feel heard throughout every stage of life — from preconception and pregnancy to postpartum, motherhood, and beyond — and where children can receive gentle, family-centred chiropractic care.
Dr Carina provides nervous system-focused chiropractic care using gentle, tailored techniques suitable for people of all ages. Every care plan is individualised, with the aim of supporting each person's unique needs and goals.
