ADHD doesn’t just live in the mind, it shows up in the body too.

Tight shoulders, restless legs, poor sleep, jaw clenching, headaches… sound familiar?

After an inspiring day at the ADHD Jersey Conference, I’m even more aware of how these patterns connect and how gentle, nervous system based care could make a real difference.
My aim is always to support the whole person, body, mind and nervous system. Each person’s story is unique and understanding those links helps me tailor care that truly fits.

Curious how this connects to your own wellbeing? Let’s start a conversation.

I provide gentle McTimoney chiropractic care in Jersey for neck back and pelvic girdle pain, headaches and migraine. I offer antenatal and postnatal chiropractic support treating back and pelvic pain.

I work as a breastfeeding coach, empowering you with a one to one or group session before your birth (so you feel prepared) and postnatally often at home (to help with latch, comfort and confidence).

I treat newborns using my chiropractic skills and craniosacral treatment to ease tension, that may be causing feeding difficulties, and help settle unsettled babies.

When treating babies we often work on your breastfeeding or bottle feeding technique at the same time.

From pregnancy and feeding to everyday aches and pains, I’m here in Jersey to support mums, babies, families and anyone who could benefit from gentle chiropractic care. Online booking for chiropractic care, please message to book breastfeeding support.

What’s the difference between baby led and responsive breastfeeding?

As a new mum, you’ve probably heard both terms, but are they the same thing?

Baby-led feeding is all about letting your baby take the lead. You watch their cues, rooting, stirring, sucking on their hands and offer the breast when they show you they’re ready.

Responsive feeding takes this one step further. It means you also listen to your body and emotions. Feeding when your breasts feel full, or when you want that special closeness, matters just as much.

Together, baby-led and responsive feeding create a beautiful dyad, a partnership between mum and baby that strengthens your bond, supports your milk supply, and helps your baby thrive.

Every journey is unique, and there’s no “perfect” way. What matters is tuning into your baby and yourself.
Have you noticed whether you naturally lean towards baby-led or responsive feeding?

I’d love to hear your experience in the comments!

If you’re in Jersey and want gentle, expert support with breastfeeding, latch, or feeding challenges, I’d be honoured to help. Home visits and antenatal sessions available.

Could your baby benefit from Chiropractic Care? Gentle, safe, and calming support for newborns
Nervous system focused
Light touch techniques
Popular with new parents

Feeding feels difficult?
If feeding feels challenging, your baby may be experiencing tension in the jaw, neck or body. Chiropractic care for babies is gentle and supports how the nervous and musculoskeletal systems work together for better comfort at feed time.

Baby prefers one side?
Does your baby only turn or feed well from one side? This could be due to physical tension, often from birth. Chiropractors trained in working with babies use techniques so light, your baby might sleep through treatment!

Wind, reflux & colic challenges
Parents often seek support when their baby is unsettled, windy, or struggles with reflux. Chiropractic care supports the nervous system, which plays a key role in how babies process and respond to their environment.

Tense or hard to settle
Some babies seem “tight” or hard to cuddle, especially after a fast or assisted birth. Chiropractic care for newborns is extremely gentle and aims to support overall function and relaxation.

Worried about tongue tie?
Sometimes feeding issues are blamed on tongue tie, but other factors can be involved. Chiropractic care may support babies with feeding tension, in consultation with your midwife, GP or health provider.

Gentle, safe & supportive
Chiropractic care for babies is gentle, safe, and becoming increasingly popular with new parents, midwives, and lactation consultants.
