Happy Birthday to our incredible leader Christina 🤍 words can’t express how much this woman means to me and our team.

She is my unwavering rock. 🪨 The captain of our ship. Our shoulder to cry on. Our go to “jack of all trades how does she know everything woman”. Our call in the night or on a Sunday or in the middle of the Andes when there is a natural disaster at home 🧊.

For almost 4 years this woman has demonstrated what it means to be a team player, a leader, a role model. She is the only reason I haven’t completely lost it at work being a new mom.

I hope you absolutely enjoy every moment of your Birthday. You deserve nothing but the best and I’m so grateful for you 🙏🏻

This is 31 ✨ and I have everything Ive ever wanted

30 was an unforgettable year it marked a new decade. Full of potential and excitement.

This year I was able to travel to Music City, USA 🇺🇸 and celebrate my birthday in Nashville 🎻🎸 and then explore the ends of the earth with my Dad and Husband 🌎 to Patagonia Chile 🇨🇱 hiking over 120 km over 5 days through the Torres del Paine National Park (16 weeks pregnant!🤰). Finding out I was pregnant days before last Christmas 🎄 and surprising my husband Christmas morning was a core memory I will forever be grateful for 🥹!

30 also blessed me with so many professional milestones, 5️⃣ years in practice & being named Peterborough’s BEST Chiropractor and named Peterborough’s BEST Chiropractic clinic (3 years in a row!) 🥇🥇🥇 being nominated for a Luminary Award for women in business and then topping it off as a finalist in the Business Excellence Awards in the health and wellness category was truly so incredible!! I’m so thankful for the recognition and the opportunity to be in these spaces as a young female business owner! ✨ (makes it seem like all this hard work is being noticed 🥹🙏🏻 - so THANK YOU! To anyone mentioning my name in these rooms of opportunity 🙏🏻)

Despite these incredible accomplishments, nothing holds a candle to earning the best title I could ever ask for, “Mom” as on September 6th this year I welcomed a beautiful baby girl into my life, she has opened my heart more than anything ever has in my life and shown me what true strength really is. Especially after 40 hours of labour lol (hug your mom 😝)

I’m entering 31 with the most grateful heart, grateful for my health, my practice, my business, my daughter, my husband, my family and grateful for this next chapter…. 📖 🙏🏻✨

SEND THIS TO A MOM BUILDING HER REGISTRY 🍼🤍☁️

creating a baby registry can be very overwhelming and social media tends to add fuel to the fire when deciding what’s the best new gadget for your little one, and it makes you question is all of this really necessary?! Likely not 😅

Having patients and friends, ask me what they should add to their registry made me think that I should create this carrousel of a post to show women some of my recommendations of a “must” have item versus a “nice to” have item.

Now being almost 7 weeks postpartum it’s been very interesting to see what items have made our experience and comfort incredible and what other items tend to be slightly less practical or when reflected upon the reality is you can do without them. Some of the items in these posts, I have duplicated as a must have (IMO), but also likely do fall under the nice to have category. (Ie meal prep!! 😝)

Now keep in mind this is just my opinion in this post and what’s worked for myself being a breast-feeding mother, of course if you are planning to feed your baby using formula, there are other items that will make your life a lot easier, especially in the feeding department, but since I don’t have that the same experience, I didn’t feel like I could speak on that. 🙏🏻 I would love to hear from some formula feeding moms in the comments, though on what are some items that you would consider a must have for new moms versus a nice to have option. 👇🏼

I also tried to put myself in the position of someone who may not have the financial means to purchase EVERYTHING or someone who maybe has a very small space (my husband and I just recently moved from a two bedroom semi detached home with absolutely zero closets, so the thought of buying baby towels, and baby washcloths, even though we barely have room for our adult towels and washcloths was a hurdle we were managing for many months before we found our new home to live and raise our babies in)

I hope this post can help you curate your registry and allow you to prioritize some options from a more practical standpoint.

Also, Facebook marketplace is your best friend…. Just saying 🤟🏻🫶🏻🍼☁️🤍

Why “Investing in your Spine Matters”

Did you know that 1 third of Canadians report activity limitations due to back pain 💥 🤯

Your spine supports you in everything you do every single day

Simple daily habits can make a profound positive impact on how your spinal health is maintained 👇🏼 today and everyday I want you to consider

1. Standing up for a few minutes every hour to stretch your neck and shoulders.

2. Choose stairs over the elevator to build your strength and mobility

3. Try gentle, stretches between work breaks or commercial breaks while you can to maintain mobility.

4. Find a chiropractor who can help maintain your wellness throughout your lifetime so that back pain doesn’t have to hinder your quality of life.

Becoming a parent has made this practice even more significant. Being able to play with our kids or your grandchildren is such an underrated capability that we want to have. This starts with a healthy spine and a healthy nervous system.

You are just getting adjusted. You are investing in your overall health for YOUR life!! However you choose to enjoy it baby🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♂️⛹🏻‍♂️🏇🏼🧘🏼‍♀️🏊🏼‍♂️🚣🏼‍♀️🧗🚵🏻‍♂️🎧🎤🤹🏻‍♂️🎮🎳

Kawartha Family Chiropractic would be honoured to care for you and your family! Link in bio to book 🔗 or call the office at 705-743-5121 📞 New patients welcome ✨

Been over here momming too hard that I completely missed my 5 YEAR ‼️ Practice anniversary!!!

Where has the time gone?! ⏰

Thank you to every single patient, friend & family member for trusting me with their spine and nervous system and believing in me! 🧠

From a starting associate in a pandemic 🦠 to business owner of Peterborough’s first integrative health care clinic these past 5 years have brought more growth than I ever could have imagined.

I am so proud of the team we have built and the lives we have been able to improve through chiropractic 👐🏻 and medical care 🩺

In 5 years my clinic has been nominated Peterborough’s BEST Chiropractic clinic 3 years running (2023,2024,2025 ✨), I have been nominated for a woman in business Luminary Award as emerging entrepreneur in Peterborough and on October 22nd, 2025 I can’t wait to celebrate another nomination through the Business Excellence Awards in the Health and Wellness Category as a finalist 🥇

I have sponsored local sports teams 🥅,been a strong presence at the Peterborough’s Dragon Boat races for two years 🐉 🩷, ran the Peterborough Butterfly run 5 km for the past 4 years 🦋, donated to the Peterborough Rotary and been involved in many other community events and support networks. I wouldn’t be where I am without the incredible support of my and I will always make sure to support my city for the love they have shown me. ❤️

This year rather than celebrating with all my patients and team I am celebrating with my baby in my arms at home. Adding “mom” to my list of titles is arguably my most proud accomplishment. Giving birth to my beautiful daughter Spencer Marie 🩷 on September 6th changed my life and practice for the better and I’m so thankful for her.

Thank you Peterborough for the first 5 years! Here’s to 35+ more 📈
