Are your child’s emotions out of control, next level, scream the house down?
A dysregulated nervous system creates NOISE and I’m not just talking about the noise coming out of them.
When a child is subluxated the nervous system sends incomplete and incorrect messages about the body to the brain.
The subluxation also causes irritation to the tissues at the area of the spine, so there is an increase in the amount of messages being sent to the brain.
Thus the subluxation is driving more loud and more confused messages to the brain which creates OVERWHELM.
Think of it like trying to have a conversation with someone while your smoke alarm is going off.
As a chiropractor I don’t fix the nervous system, instead I remove subluxations which improves the body’s communication with the brain.
Calmer nervous system = calmer child

Maternal stress (stress during pregnancy) is linked to adverse birth outcomes, neurodevelopmental delays, emotional and behavioural issues and long term health risks of your unborn child.

The reason I LOVE adjusting women before and during their pregnancy is that chiropractic adjustments can reduce stress, increase relaxation, stimulate your vagal nerve (gut and immune) AND because you and your baby’s nervous system are connected via the umbilical cord they also receive all the good effects too!

Win for you + win for them! ❤️

Are you dreading another cold and flu season or have the viruses already started making the rounds in your house?

Did you know that the immune system is controlled by the nervous system?

If your child’s nervous system has its stress switch stuck ON the strength of their immune system goes way down. They’ll get sicker more often and for longer. Often without gaps between sickness.

Here’s the good news. Chiropractic adjustments done at the right frequency over time can turn OFF the stress switch. Your child’s nervous system will then be able to coordinate and strengthen the immune system.

So a balanced nervous system = less frequent and severe sickness’ for your kiddo.

Kids don’t grow out of eczema, colic and constipation, they grow into a dysregulated nervous system - think behavioural and learning issues.
Trauma that occurred early and often grows into the nervous system and expresses itself differently overtime:
- baby: colicky, latching issues, eczema, developmental delay
- child: allergies, behavioural and learning issues, anxiety
- teenager: depressed, anxious, demotivated

Let’s discuss how we can get your child’s nervous system back on track. Book an appointment in bio

Tummy time isn’t just fun — it’s essential for your baby’s growing spine and overall development!

Why tummy time matters:
🧠 Strengthens neck, shoulder & back muscles – helps your baby lift and turn their head
🦴 Supports spinal development – encourages a healthy curve in the upper back
🤸 Improves coordination & motor skills – lays the foundation for rolling, crawling, and sitting
💪 Supports primitive reflexes – helps the nervous system mature and integrate reflexes like the Moro, ATNR, and Landau
🛏️ Prevents flat spots on the head – by giving your baby a break from lying on their back

⚠️ If your baby seems to struggle with tummy time — avoiding lifting their head, arching their back excessively, or seeming uncomfortable — it may be a sign to get them checked. Early assessment can help ensure their spine and nervous system are developing as they should.

Tummy time helps set your baby up for strong, healthy movement milestones — it’s a simple step with big benefits for their spine and development.

👶✨ Milestones I Check During a Baby’s Chiropractic Assessment

When you bring your little one in for a check, I don’t just look at their spine — I assess key developmental milestones too! This helps ensure they’re moving, growing, and developing as smoothly as possible.

Some milestones I look at include:
🖐️ Arm & hand movements – are they reaching and grasping appropriately?
🦵 Leg movements & kicking patterns – checking for symmetry and strength
🧠 Head control – lifting and turning their head
🚼 Rolling, sitting & crawling readiness – making sure their body can support upcoming milestones
🐾 Reflexes & coordination – early nervous system development

Every baby is unique, so these assessments are gentle, fun, and tailored to your little one’s pace 💛

I love supporting families and giving babies the best start possible!

Immune-Boosting Kids’ Gummies 🌿🍓

Ingredients (makes ~20 gummies):
1 cup 100% fruit juice (orange, apple, or mixed berries) 🍊🍓
2 tbsp honey (for kids over 1 year) 🍯
2 tbsp powdered gelatin (or agar-agar for vegan option) 🌱
1 drop food-grade lemon essential oil 🍋
1 drop food-grade orange essential oil 🍊
Optional: 1 drop food-grade lavender essential oil 🌸 for calming

Instructions:
Pour juice into a small saucepan over low heat (do not boil).
Whisk in gelatin or agar until fully dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in honey and essential oils.
Pour mixture into silicone molds 🍬.
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until set.
Pop out gummies and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Tips & Safety:
Always use food-grade essential oils and 1 drop per batch—more can be too strong for children.

Never give essential oils directly—always dilute in food or carrier.

These gummies are a tasty complement, not a replacement for healthy food or medical care.

🌿 Nurture your child’s immunity safely with essential oils! 🛡️

Gentle, age-appropriate essential oils like lavender, chamomile, frankincense, and lemon can support your child’s natural defences while promoting calm, restful routines 😴💛.

💡 Tips for safe use:
Always dilute properly 💧
Diffuse in well-ventilated spaces 🌬️
Apply to safe areas like feet or chest 👣
Avoid oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and rosemary in children under 5 ❌ - see slide for safe use of these oils and dilutions.

Consult your chiropractor or health practitioner provider before use 🩺

Pair essential oils with healthy habits: balanced meals 🍎, hydration 💧, sleep 😴, and active play 🏃‍♂️. Small, consistent steps = a resilient immune system 🌈💚

💬 Comment: Which essential oil is your child’s favourite?

Building your child’s immune system isn’t about one “superfood” or magic pill 🪄—it’s about consistency.
Every colourful fruit 🍓, fresh veggie 🥦, and flavourful herb 🌿 is a tiny investment in their long-term health.

💧 Hydration keeps their body running smoothly.
😴 Sleep restores and recharges their defences.
🏃‍♂️ Active play boosts circulation and immune readiness.
🫶 And shared family meals strengthen not just their bodies, but their sense of connection too ❤️.

Small daily choices → a happy, resilient immune system 🛡️💚 for years to come.
