WellKids is all about seeing babies, pregnant mums, children, and families function at their best.
Located in Wamberal on the NSW Central Coast, we offer gentle, family-centred chiropractic care that supports the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
We believe health comes from within. It starts when we give our bodies what they were designed to need- to move well, to eat well and to think well. Our approach addresses all three, helping to optimise the health of you and your children.
Move well. Eat well. Think well. Live well.

Babies & Children
Babies and children communicate differently- sometimes through crying, tension or changes in behaviour. Whether your little one is struggling to settle, feed, sleep or keep up with developmental milestones, Erin provides gentle, neurologically informed care to help restore musculoskeletal and neurological balance and comfort. Erin’s care may consequentially support:
*Effective feeding & cranial moulding
*Symptoms caused by fascial & dural tension, including tongue tie
*Fast, long term relief from ear infections
*Colic, reflux & digestive discomfort
*Improved sleep, breathing & emotional regulation
*Posture, movement & milestone development
*Immune system fortification
*Mood regulation such as anger, aggression, flightiness, & inattention
*Nervous system regulation & switching off of the fight/flight response
Happy, flourishing babies and children should be the norm- not the exception.

The Whole Family
Gentle Chiropractic care can benefit everyone- not just mums and babies. Erin’s holistic approach can assist with many issues, including:
*Recovery from physical trauma, including head injuries, concussion & broken bones
*Postural problems & movement restrictions
*Back pain, headaches & muscle pains
*Digestive challenges & food sensitivities
*Reduce symptoms of ADHD, ASD & other neurodiverse presentations
*Neutralising the fight/flight response
*Relieve effects of prolonged stress & anxiety
*Tongue tie assessment & referral where necessary
*Support cranial, nervous system & fascial functioning before and after tongue tie release to optimise success of the procedure
*Provide OMT (orofacial myofuntional therapy) where appropriate.
Every person is unique- and our care reflects that.

Nutrition
Food should fuel us- not fatigue us. Whilst our society has access to a huge quantity of food, we are on the whole, over fed but undernourished.
At WellKids, we offer practical, personalised guidance to help your family eat in a way that supports long term health. Our nutrition consultations consider:
*Your current food habits & routines
*Any intolerances, aversions or sensitivities
*Ways to meet your nutritional needs through nutrient dense, whole foods.
*Individualised, predominantly food based supplementation where necessary that is specific to your symptom picture and that resonates exactly with your body (through quantum reflex analysis. (kinesiology))
We focus on real, sustainable nourishment that supports the body from the inside out- for better energy, immunity and wellbeing at every stage of life.
Enhancing health and function
Dr Erin Reid is an expert in removing interference to the nervous system, very gently, safely and effectively. Move well, eat well, think well and live well.
