Workshops at Beachside Family Chiropractic
A calm space to learn, connect, and grow alongside your family.
Tummy Time Workshop
Merimbula’s very own Tummy Time Workshop
Over the past three years, Dr Chloe has been running this much-loved workshop to help local families feel confident and supported through their baby’s early stages of development. She started the workshop after seeing how many new parents were unsure about tummy time, why it matters, how to make it enjoyable, and what it means for their baby’s developing brain and body.
During those early months, your baby’s brain is growing at an incredible pace, forming millions of new connections every second. Simple play-based activities like tummy time help build the foundation for future movement, coordination, balance, and strength. Just as importantly, tummy time supports healthy neurological development by encouraging communication between your baby’s brain and body.
As a new parent, you’re often given lots of advice but not always the “how” and “why” behind it. This relaxed, hands-on workshop is designed to change that. You’ll learn practical, gentle ways to make tummy time fun, stress-free, and supportive, even if your little one isn’t the biggest fan yet.
This session is perfect for babies aged 0 to 6 months, though we welcome any little ones under 12 months too. Whether you’re a first-time parent or simply want to feel more confident supporting your baby’s development, this is a beautiful opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together.
There’s no cost to join: just bring your baby, your questions, and your curiosity!
The Perfect Storm Workshop
Understanding the Developing Brain and Nervous System
Every parent wants to see their child happy, calm, and thriving, but for many families, the journey doesn’t always look that way. From big emotions and constant meltdowns to focus or sleep struggles, it can be hard to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Join Dr Chloe Anderson at Beachside Family Chiropractic in Merimbula for a relaxed and insightful evening exploring how a child’s brain and body grow, adapt, and communicate through the nervous system.
In this workshop, Dr Chloe will share how the modern world, from pregnancy stress and birth interventions to fast-paced routines and constant stimulation, can create what we call “the perfect storm” for a child’s developing nervous system. You’ll explore how different stressors and experiences can form part of a child’s story, and learn more about the complex relationship between the nervous system, development and the environment.
What We’ll Explore
- The role of the nervous system throughout childhood growth and development
- The connection between physical stress, emotional stress, and developmental patterns
- Simple ways to support calm, connection, and adaptability at home
- Understanding patterns of stress and regulation in everyday family life
- Why understanding the whole picture, brain, body, and environment, makes such a difference for growing kids
This evening is designed to help parents and carers feel more confident, informed, and supported. Whether your child has a diagnosis or you simply sense they’re finding life a little harder than they should, this conversation will help you see things through a new lens, one filled with understanding, not overwhelm.
You’ll leave feeling empowered with practical tools, clarity, and a renewed sense of hope about how to support your child’s development and wellbeing.
