Our Services
Babies and toddlers
Our gentle, holistic approach supports their development and well-being, by addressing common challenges with care and expertise. Dr Rach works with babies as soon as you’re comfortable to bring them in for an assessment - whether it’s related to post-birth trauma, feeding issues, or other developmental challenges.
A thorough tongue and lip tie assessment may also be conducted when indicated. Expert evaluation to identify and address restrictions that may impact feeding and positioning at the breast or bottle.
Gentle cranial techniques that may help to release tension and promote healthy cranial function. As well as gentle mobilisation techniques to relieve restrictions in the spine as indicated.
Every technique is conducted with the upmost of care and gentle pressure may be applied, there is no manual “cracking” techniques conducted on babies and toddlers.
Dr Rach also monitors your child's progress to ensure they are meeting key developmental milestones including assessment of muscle tone and primitive/postural reflexes to identify and address any imbalances.
family care
Chiropractic care isn't just about back cracks and quick fixes. It's a holistic approach to health that can benefit everyone, from newborns to grandparents.
At Solace Bodywork, Dr Rach offers gentle and effective chiropractic solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. If you prefer not to be manually adjusted - Solace Bodywork is the place to be!
Adjustments may be done via a device called an activator, pelvic blocking techniques, soft tissue release and intra-oral work for those pesky TMJ (jaw issues), cranial and neck tension.

Hi, I'm Rachael, and I'm the heart behind Solace Bodywork. My path to becoming a chiropractor wasn't just a career choice; it was born from a deeply personal experience. As a mother, I witnessed firsthand the incredible impact gentle chiropractic care could have, especially for babies struggling with those early challenges. I found immense relief through this approach with my daughter.
This ignited my passion to provide that same ‘solace’ and support to other families.
As a mother of 5, I understand the joys and challenges of parenthood because I've lived them. I bring empathy and understanding to every session.
Not only have I completed a double Bachelor in Health Science and Applied Science in Chiropractic, I have undergone extensive postgraduate training in paediatric neurodevelopment, ensuring I provide specialised care for babies and children with unique needs.
My approach is gentle, safe, and tailored to each individual, focusing on long-term well-being rather than quick fixes.

“Hi, I’m Anna—a passionate Myotherapist and Remedial Therapist with over 15 years of hands-on experience. I hold a Diploma of Remedial Massage, a Certificate IV in Fitness, and an Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy.”
“I use a combination of techniques—including dry needling, soft tissue release, cupping, MET, joint mobilisation, and corrective exercises—to support recovery, restore movement, and improve overall well-being. I have a particular interest in headaches and migraines and often incorporate Craniosacral Therapy (Upledger CST Levels 1 & 2) into my treatments.

Is your child an athlete in the making or well and truly training up a storm? Chiropractic care can be an essential tool for optimising performance and preventing injuries. By ensuring proper spinal alignment and joint mobility, treatment may help your body move more efficiently and reduce your risk of strains, sprains, and other common sports injuries. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, chiropractic care can help you stay at the top of your game.
I’m here to help families find balance and peace, using techniques that are safe, gentle, and tailored to each individual. I want parents to know that there are safe, effective options out there that may make a huge difference in their child's wellbeing. Too often, parents tell me they wish they’d known about this kind of care sooner, and I want to change that. I’m here to spread the word and make sure more families have access to the support they need.
my why…
Whether you're struggling with chronic back pain, neck stiffness, or headaches, chiropractic care may provide the lasting relief you need! My approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of your discomfort, rather than just masking the symptoms. By restoring proper alignment and function to your spine.
