Birth isn’t something to fear — it’s something to prepare for with confidence. ✨

So many parents tell me they wish they had learned how to cope with the intensity of labour — how to understand what’s happening in their body, and how their partner could truly help.

That’s exactly why I love facilitating 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 — a heart-centered, hands-on workshop to help you feel calm, capable, and connected as you move through birth.

In this class, we’ll explore:
🌿 Practical coping strategies for each stage of labour
🧠 The role of fear — and how it can shift your birth experience
💞 How your partner can bring grounding and support
✨ Tools to calm your nervous system and work with your body, not against it

When you understand your body — and your partner knows how to help — fear softens, trust builds, and birth becomes a shared experience, not something you simply endure.

🗓️ Next class: November 8 | The WOMB Burlington
🤍 Small, supportive group setting
🎟️ Limited spaces available — tap the link in bio to reserve your spot

Because empowered birth begins with trust — not fear. 🌸

Birth isn’t something to fear — it’s something to prepare for with confidence. ✨

Whether it’s your first birth or your fourth, every single birth is different — and everybody deserves a chance to feel supported, informed and confident walking into it.

That’s exactly why I am so passionate about facilitating 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 — a heart-centered, hands-on workshop to help you feel calm, capable, and connected as you move through birth.

In this class, we’ll explore:
🌿 Practical coping strategies for each stage of labour
🧠 The role of fear, how it can shift your birth experience, and how we can easily flip the script
💞 How your partner/birthing support can bring grounding and support
✨ Tools to calm your nervous system and work with your body, not against it

When you understand your body — and your partner knows how to help — fear softens, trust builds, and birth becomes a shared experience, not something that you simply endure.

Some babies I’ve known long before they were earthside — first as a dream in their mama’s heart, then as a growing life in her belly… and now, in my hands. 🌙

It’s such a privilege to walk that journey — from prenatal care to newborn adjustments — and to witness how quickly these little nervous systems find balance when given the space to do so.

This sweet C came in at one month old:
❎preferring to look mostly to the right
❎fists clenched
❎legs tucked up
❎difficulty burping & frequent back arching
❎early head lifting
❎feeding painfully, and small mouth opening
❎some straining to p**p

Baby C’s whole body was holding on tight.

After one gentle adjustment, everything softened.
Their gaze opened to the left.
Their legs lengthened and relaxed.
Their body remembered what ease feels like.

It’s not that they suddenly “grew” — it’s that their nervous system finally let go.

✨ Babies respond profoundly to chiropractic care because their systems are still so adaptable — when we release tension, they can start to reconnect, digest, feed, and rest the way they’re meant to.

What I want parents to know:
🤍 Babies should not be straining to p**p.
🤍 Breastfeeding should not be painful.
🤍 A strong side preference isn’t “just how they are” and should not be ignored
🤍 If baby is holding their head up consistently before 4 weeks for more then 5-10 seconds at a time, this is tension and not simply “strength”

Tension in the spine — especially through the mid-back — can ripple outward into feeding, digestion, and movement.

Releasing it changes everything.

From dream, to womb, to arms — what an honour to help these little ones find ease in their first home: their body. 🕊️

When we know better, we do better — and sometimes that means learning how to hold space for stories that are hard to say out loud.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and after a seeing a beautiful story a few days ago, her incredible platform, and subsequent conversation with .doula.life, I was reminded how rarely we in the perinatal world truly talk about this kind of loss.

And both truthfully and unfortunately, I include myself in this collective. But as always, let’s normalize self-discovery and when we realize where we can DO BETTER, then we actually take the steps to BE BETTER.

I see it in practice often — the quiet ache beneath the surface, the guilt, the love that has nowhere to go. And I believe that remembering is one of the most profound ways we can honour these lives🤍

So each month, on the 15th, I’ll open a story box here — The L.O.V.E Box. 💌

You can write in the name (or simply “baby girl” or “baby boy”) of a little one you’re remembering. I’ll share their names on my stories, so that no family has to carry their memory alone.

Grief may change shape, but it doesn’t disappear. And it most definitely does not only exist in October.

Love stays.

So many people have been told their pain is normal.

That leaking after birth is normal.
That baby reflux is normal.
That constant tension or anxiety is just how life feels.

But here’s the truth ⤵️
Pain is literally the definition of abnormal.

It’s your body’s way of communicating that something isn’t integrating, aligning, or regulating as it should.

Just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s normal.

Your body is designed for balance, adaptation, and ease.
And when that’s not what you’re experiencing — it’s not because you’re broken.

It’s because your system needs support to return to normal function.

That’s where neurologically focused chiropractic care comes in.

We don’t just chase symptoms — we restore communication between the brain and body, so your system can do what it was designed to do: heal. 💫

You don’t have to live with “normal” pain.
You can live in connection again.

I SAID WHAT I SAID, and I’ll stand on it all day long😤🔥

Spoiler Alert: CRAWLING IS NOT OPTIONAL 💥

In 2022, the CDC removed crawling from its checklist of milestones.

Why, you ask?

It’s reportedly due to the fact that there isn’t enough consistency in research to determine what constitutes “crawling.” But truthfully, it’s hard to believe that it would be removed because of “inconsistent definitions” — I tend to think it’s rather normalizing the impact of the pandemic on our kids.

But here’s what they didn’t tell you:

Crawling is a CRUCIAL part of brain and nervous system development.

It’s not just about movement — it helps integrate reflexes, develop cross-body coordination, and lay the groundwork for focus, balance, reading, and more.

As a pediatric chiropractor, I see what happens when kids skip crawling, crawl incompletely (aka army crawls or scooting), or rush through it: retained reflexes, sensory challenges, coordination challenges, and trouble sitting still to name a few.

It’s not about being alarmist — it’s about being proactive. ⚡️

If your child skipped crawling or struggles with tummy time, I can help assess and support their development with safe, gentle care.

LAST ONE 🙌

One of the last major gross motor milestones is JUMPING 👆🏼

Jumping - with both feet clearing the floor - is usually expected around 24 months. Some kids will be exhibiting these ministones earlier, and some slightly later — both of which are ok!

Here are some tips that I have to starting to introduce the concept of these ministones if they aren’t occurring on their own:

✨ Turn UP the MUSIC 🎶- Get up and DANCE with your babes, even hop around if that’s your jam!! Get in touch with your inner child ~ while you’re encouraging free and exploratory movement for your little ones.

✨Obstacle Courses - simply use pillows or toys (if you want to, you can add crawling tunnels or going over/under chairs) to get babe comfortable with “stepping over” objects, which can then progress over time to a two-foot jump. Bonus that they get to learn about over/under concepts + it’s super fun!!

✨ Pretending to be animals - I frequently will play this game with my girls - where I call out an animal and they have to act like that animal + make their sound. So specifically for jumping, I use 🐇, 🐸 or 🦘.

✨ Learning to walk down stairs + jumping (supported with their hands in mine) off the bottom stair with two feet

Of course, after the two footed jump, jumping will progress (over time) to leaping forward, backward and side to side, jumping over an obstacle, jumping off of structures etc.

Remember, MINISTONES are just as important as the MILESTONE itself. Don’t focus on what your child ISN’T doing, and focus on what they ARE. There is beauty in the process, and we need to teach our children that the DESTINATION isn’t everything. The effort, consistency, willingness to try is more important — so compliment them (and yourselves!!) on that 😘

I encourage all parents to follow their intuition - if something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct and get an assessment with someone who can help you.

is a really incredible place to start ✌️

11/20/2023

After a brief hiatus, here are the WALKING ministones 👇🏼

Independent walking typically occurs between 10-18 months — although, I’m much more comfortable saying 16 months as someone who works with peds.

If you’re noticing that by 16 months babe isn’t displaying some STRONG ministones, or appears to be stuck on these ministones for 1-2 months with no progression, I would push for an eval by a professional who works with peds (like a chiropractor, PT, OT etc).

It is super common for their walking to “look funny” - but if they’re displaying any of these for a prolonged period of time, it might be time for an eval as well:

👉 Walking on toes regularly

👉 Very clumsy and falls a lot

👉 Difficult maintaining balance

👉 Major challenges with elevations or stairs

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out 🤍

Last one in this series - JUMPING - is up later today!
