Do you watch your kid go from zero to meltdown in seconds?

Have you noticed how they pick up on your stress even when you think you’re hiding it?

This isn’t random - it’s co-regulation at work.

Your nervous system and your child’s are connected in ways most parents don’t realise..

And parents are coming to us in droves, having tried the doctors, behavioural charts, therapy sessions, and medications. Without success!

If school is suggesting more evaluations - but deep down, you know something is missing, it is!

The good news - we have worked with thousands of families stuck in this exact cycle of concern, frustration and helplessness.

Here’s what most health providers are missing: your child’s challenging behaviours aren’t defiance. They’re dysregulated.

And that dysregulation often starts with your own nervous system.

Here is the missing link - co-regulation is when a calm adult’s nervous system helps a child’s nervous system find balance.

While babies need constant co-regulation, kids still depend on it - especially when they are stressed, tired, or overwhelmed.

Research shows that up to 15% of children struggle with emotional regulation.

Studies on co-regulation demonstrate that children use their parents’ nervous systems’ as templates for managing big emotions.

Your child’s brain literally syncs with yours through subtle cues - such as your breathing rate, muscle tension, and even your heart rate variability.

🆘 Signs Your Child Needs Co-Regulation Support:

PX Docs, have identified very distinct patterns in 73% of children with regulation challenges.

🆘Physical Signs:

▪️Constant fidgeting (82% of dysregulated kids)
▪️Stomach aches before school (68%)
▪️Sleep difficulties - over 30 minutes to fall asleep (71%)
▪️Chronic headaches or “growing pains” (45%)
▪️Sensory sensitivities (64%)

🆘 Emotional & Behavioural Signs:

▪️Zero-to-sixty emotional reactions (91%)
▪️Homework battles ending in tears (79%)
▪️Morning routines that feel like war zones (74%)
▪️Sibling conflicts that escalate instantly (81%)
▪️Aggressive responses to minor frustrations (58%)

The good news - there is SO much we can to to help you. Reach out to us.

Just because it’s common, doesn’t mean it’s normal.

Just because the general medical consensus is “wait and see” doesn’t make it right.

It’s well and truly time for a shake up.

Our kids are struggling with more complex and multifaceted challenges than ever before.

Yet our doctors, schools and educators are completely ill equipped to navigate the challenges that countless families are facing.

To the Mums tirelessly researching, searching for answers and holistic solutions to support their child’s health, behavioural or emotional challenges…

We see you!

Our practice exists for families like yours!

We go beyond your child’s symptoms to uncover their root cause - we test, measure and investigate with exclusive protocols, advanced technology and 4 decades of clinical wisdom, to provide you with the complex answers that your kids deserve.

We are watching miracles unfold in our practice on a daily basis because we do it differently.

We don’t chase symptoms - we work tirelessly to restore health.

The babies who cried for hours as newborns ➡️

They’re the kids struggling with ADHD, sensory challenges, epic meltdowns and anxiety at 7 years old.

Because babies don’t grow out of colic...

They grow into other challenges and struggles.

Because colic is a nervous system issue – not something they grow out of.

So often, “colic” is used as a blanket diagnosis given by providers who are unable to give parents real answers about why their beautiful baby is crying excessively, incredibly fussy, or obviously uncomfortable.

And it’s time to do better!

What “colic” really means is that the baby is stressed, dysregulated, uncomfortable and needs professional support – and that starts with having their nervous system checked!

And the sooner the better!

Babies don’t just grow out of colic symptoms.

They go from colicky, to ear infections, sickness after sickness, sensory struggles, ADHD diagnoses and anxiety...

Until they are a wound-up and worn-out adult 😵‍💫

So let’s turn the tide before it becomes a completely ingrained problem that creates a ripple effect of dysregulation for Mum, Dad, baby and everyone in the household.

The secret?

Their nervous system! 🧠

When your child is struggling with colic, constipation, reflux, chronic infections or poor sleep, nothing can help FAST ENOUGH!

But here’s the thing… quick relief isn’t always a long-term solution.

Symptoms come back and the frustrating cycle continues.

Which is why we will never stop talking about NERVOUS SYSTEM HEALTH and our kids.

Their nervous system is the conductor of their body. It controls how they eat, sleep, p**p, rest and repair.

There are two sides to that system:
🧠 Sympathetic (fight, flight & stress mode)
🧠 Parasympathetic (rest, digest, grow & regulate)

If your child is stuck in stress mode (sympathetic overdrive) it can show up as:

Reflux
Constant crying or arching of their back
Constipation
Poor Sleep
Head banging
Poor immunity

But help is at hand – our advanced paediatric protocols address stress, tension and nervous system dysregulation naturally and powerfully.

We remind their little bodies how to easily shift back into the parasympathetic state (just as it’s designed to).

And that’s the real secret to a happy, healthy baby who eats, sleeps and p**ps well.

Neurologically focused Chiropractic care helps babies get back to thriving from the inside out.

We see you parents! 😍

You have tried everything to help your child sleep soundly: routines, supplements, detoxes, oils, weighted blankets, blackout shades..

But the reality is – if their little body is stuck in flight or flight with a brain primed for danger (all day every day) they simply cannot rest, no matter how hard they try.

The problem isn’t their routine, it’s their nervous system.

But the good news is – when their brain and body remember how to calm (through activation of the parasympathetic branch of their nervous system), sleep follows!

So that’s exactly what we do!

Take them out of fight or flight and into parasympatic (rest, repair, heal and digest mode) and then we teach the body how to do it on its own. It’s like rebooting the hard-drive of your computer and boy is it powerful 🧠

Often the biggest breakthroughs are found by putting down the prescription bottle, throwing away the diagnosis lens and check boxes - and going back to the very beginning:

The foundation of your child’s health 🟰their nervous system 🧠

We don’t care about the label, we care about the WHY!

And we make it our mission to work out why your child is struggling, so we can formulate their path to healing.

And if the reports from parents in our practice this week are anything to go by - its working..

⭐️ Dry nights for an 11 year old boy who has wet the bed his entire life!
⭐️ ADHD kids who have never been commended for their work in the classroom, being recognised by their teacher in their second week of treatment!
⭐️ Less seizures, greater mobility, balance and coordination and improvements in speech at the end of week 3!
⭐️ Progress in handwriting for a child with dysgraphia that no other practitioner, device, modality or overseas intensive progream could achieve in the last 5 years!
⭐️ Autism kids telling us learning is easier since I have been getting adjusted!

And we are just getting started!

“Why isn’t speech therapy working for my child?” 💬

It’s a question we hear ALL the time from parents who’ve tried everything…

Endless therapy sessions, at-home practices, specialised programs and yet their child is still stuck, frustrated, and falling further behind.

Here’s what most people don’t realise ⬇️

▶️ Speech isn’t just about the mouth and muscles.

▶️ It’s a brain + nervous system process first.

▶️ Delays are usually an INPUT + INTEGRATION issue, not just an output issue.

▶️ Subluxation and nervous system stress disrupt the brain’s ability to process and coordinate speech.

▶️ The vagus nerve is a HUGE missing link: controlling vocal cords, breathing, and rhythm.

▶️ Until the nervous system is regulated, traditional therapy alone often isn’t enough.

The good news?

When we restore, calm and balance the nervous system and restore brain to body communication - kids often start making breakthroughs in speech that parents have been waiting years to hear!!

Such an important topic today 👀

We have to address the elephant in the room by educating parents about the fact that -

The way their kids are entering the world (when birth intervention is required) can create early stress and tension in their child’s nervous system that changes the way they process the world around them.

This distortion, dysfunction and dysregulation is creating a cascade of challenges that is making our kid’s life really hard!

If you are a parent with a struggling child at home who was born via intervention (especially c-section) please take 30 minutes to listen to this brilliant podcast by because it will literally change your families life! 🩷
