Carla Paten is a holistic chiropractor supporting women through every season of life. She offers chiropractic care, intuitive and emotional support, and pelvic floor and core assessments. Carla also teaches a monthly class at Wildfire Fitness Australia focused on pelvic floor and core function, open to the whole community.
With 20 years in practice and more than 15 years of motherhood, Carla brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. Together these have shaped her approach – deepening her understanding of the body and her appreciation of what women need.
Chiropractic care has shown her the brilliance of the body – how structure, movement and the nervous system work together. Motherhood (and life) has also highlighted just how unique women’s bodies and needs can be.
“Health is influenced by mental, emotional and spiritual layers, and genuine healing often begins when those inner parts are acknowledged alongside caring for the physical body,” said Carla.
That philosophy is the foundation of her women-centred, holistic approach. Carla moved to Eumundi 2 years ago – after growing up on the coast – and opened her practice here last year. “Eumundi feels like a natural fit – bespoke, slow-moving and quietly vibrant,” said Carla.
The next Core Connection class is on 31 May. Visit: carlapaten.com.

A recent independent evaluation has brought new attention to Hoofbeats Sanctuary Sunshine Coast in Yandina, highlighting the significant impact of its trauma -informed, equine-assisted programs. Operated by Kanyini Connections Ltd, the sanctuary has been supporting girls and women since 2019, offering experiential, nature-based interventions that build emotional wellbeing, confidence and self-awareness. The evaluation underscores the effectiveness of these programs, demonstrating how the sanctuary’s unique approach is delivering meaningful mental health outcomes.
Across Australia mental illness has become the most common chronic health condition, affecting more than 1 in 4 people. Young women are particularly vulnerable, with nearly half of females aged 16-24 reporting a mental-health disorder in the past year. Qld faces even higher rates of self harm hospitalisations compared with the national average. Compounding these challenges, traditional mental health systems remain overstretched, and individuals with complex trauma often struggle to benefit from conventional therapeutic approaches.
Hoofbeats Sanctuary offers an alternative pathway to healing through two 12-week programs: Go Remarkable for girls and young women aged 12–24, and Recovery and Discovery for women aged 25 and above. Both programs are led by certified Equine Assisted Learning practitioners who bring professional expertise as well as lived experience. Rather than horse riding, the focus is on safe, ground-based interactions with horses and ponies. Participants learn to read equine body language, understand herd behaviour, and practise trust-building, boundaries, mindfulness and emotional regulation.
