Pregnant? 🤰 You need to know THIS to help your body labor smoothly.
The way your baby is positioned can make all the difference in how efficiently you labor and how smoothly your delivery goes.
👉 The optimal position is called Cephalic presentation — baby head-down, facing your back, chin tucked to chest, ready to move through the pelvis.
When baby is breech (feet or bottom first), it can make labor more challenging and sometimes lead to complications.
Modern life — think long hours sitting and less movement — can affect fetal positioning. So what can help your baby find that ideal spot?
✨ Support your posture (keep your pelvis open and mobile)
✨ Prenatal chiropractic care
✨ Mayan abdominal massage
✨ Rebozo techniques
Sometimes, baby’s position just is what it is — and that’s okay. The body is wise, resilient, and capable of incredible things. 💫
We love supporting mamas through every stage of pregnancy. 💕
Call us at (541) 382-1118 to schedule your prenatal visit.

Pregnant mamas, are you dealing with that all-too-common pregnancy backache?
Let's talk about why it happens and how prenatal chiropractic care can help ⬇️
As your little one grows, your body undergoes A LOT of changes. 😮💨
Your center of gravity shifts forward, causing your lower back to curve more than usual. This can put strain on your spinal joints and muscles, leading to that persistent back ache.
Also, your body is producing relaxin, a hormone that softens and loosens muscles and ligaments.
💛 This is obviously by design and helpful to accommodate a growing belly and labor/delivery, but it can lead to pain well before your baby bump is even showing!
This is where the Webster Technique comes into play! This specialized approach was developed specifically for pregnant women and focuses on:
🤰🏼 Balancing the pelvis by gently adjusting the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of your spine)
🤰🏼 Reducing tension in the round ligaments that support your uterus
🤰🏼 Decreasing stress on the uterosacral ligaments that connect your uterus to your sacrum
🤰🏼 Restoring proper alignment and movement to your pelvic joints
These gentle, precise adjustments help maintain optimal pelvic alignment throughout your pregnancy, reducing nerve pressure and allowing your baby more room to grow and move.
We don't believe that with pregnancy you "just have to deal with it". We want you to feel comfortable and supported throughout your journey!
Did you experience backaches during your pregnancy? Let us know down below how chiropractic help you!

We absolutely love this family! The Blakes recently moved to Central Oregon from California, where they had been under consistent chiropractic care for years. As soon as they arrived, they reached out—wanting to continue the progress they had already made and stay rooted in wellness.
Their care journey here began with their son, Lewis, a bright, thoughtful kid whose parents wanted to support his nervous system and help him feel more regulated. When Lewis became overwhelmed, they noticed his body would tense up, and they wanted to create more calm, better coordination, and easier adaptability.
Soon after, the entire family joined in—choosing to keep their nervous systems balanced and support each other in staying regulated, calm, and connected.
We’re so grateful to serve families like the Blakes, who prioritize wellness together—and bring such warmth and kindness into our space. 🌿

If your child struggles with falling asleep, staying asleep, or restless nights, their nervous system may be working in overdrive. True rest is difficult when the brain and body are stuck in “fight-or-flight”.
🌿 Gentle, neurologically focused chiropractic care helps calm the nervous system, improving regulation, relaxation, and setting the stage for deeper, more restorative sleep.
Because a well-rested kid = a happier, healthier kid. 💛

Our entire experience from the first phone call has been professional and compassionate. Dr Liz showed incredible skill in working with our behaviorally challenged child. She got down on the floor to connect, showed flexibility to help relax our anxious child and was so compassionate. Dr David went out of his way to connect with our kids by catching a beetle for them, knowing they love bugs. He has the right amount of professionalism and humor with kids. Treatments were easy and fun and produced noticeable results. I love the before and after objective gains shown on print outs. Even the front office spoiled the kids. They’re begging to go back. My kids have shown better recovery after big emotions and less emotional swings. Sleep is better, tolerance is higher and over all improvements in emotional regulation. We are thrilled. -Amy

In your child’s neurological healing journey, progress isn’t always a straight line. Sometimes you’ll see plateaus (where growth slows) or even regressions (old symptoms resurfacing).
This doesn’t mean healing isn’t happening — it often means the nervous system is reorganizing, processing, and preparing for the next breakthrough. 🧠💫
With consistent, neurologically focused chiropractic care, those ups and downs become stepping stones toward deeper balance, regulation, and long-term growth. 💛

On July 1st 2015, we were sitting in Drake Park on a sunny, warm summer day. Families were laughing, children were playing, and the sun was glistening on the Deschutes River. It was our first visit to Bend. We fell in love. We felt at home.
We returned to Atlanta after a long road trip camping along the way. We constantly talked about Bend. The seed was planted, which began to sprout into our dream of being a part of the Bend community. At the beginning of 2017, our dream became a reality. We packed up a 16’ Penske Truck and drove Dr. Sarah across the country from Atlanta to Bend in the middle of the winter. Yes...that crazy, awesome, snowy winter in Bend! :)
Dr. Sarah started Pure Light in a small room at Bend Pilates. It was her little launch pad to begin serving our community. Our focus was the same in the beginning as it is now - creating happy, healthy families by optimizing the brain-body connection during pregnancy, infancy, childhood and beyond.
Dr. David joined Dr. Sarah in August 2017 and together began the search for a longer term home for Pure Light. The journey to find a new location was filled with success and learning experiences, yet we were blessed to find the perfect location. We settled in and began filling our new space with loving intentions and lots of light, to be a healing sanctuary for pregnant women, children and families. Our intention is for everyone who walks into our space to take a deep breath, feel welcome, feel at home. We have toys in every room and we love seeing children having fun during their visits.
After renovating the office to better serve you and your family, Pure Light was officially ready for our Grand Opening Celebration on April 28th, 2018. What a fun party! We had a fire truck, a bouncy house, face painting, live music, arts and crafts, healthy food and raffle prizes from other local businesses.
We are often asked, “How do you like living in Bend?” The answer is always “We LOVE it! We are lifers.” Truly, our roots are deep in the community of Bend and we are here for a lifetime. It is an honor to serve and give back to such a wonderful community.
From day number one to our last breath of life, the mission will remain the same - Help you and your loved one's live the best life possible every single day, from birth to 100 years and beyond.

"Health and harmony can naturally exist in our lives through a well-tuned nervous system. I intend to be a nurturing guide, assisting each individual on their journey to create their conscious, healthy lifestyle. I truly love seeing others awaken to the light of their own true nature." - Dr. Sarah Lutz
"Improving the life of a suffering child has a massive ripple effect. The trajectory of an entire life is changed forever. The family can regain excitement, exploration and pursuit of purpose. A community flourishes because that child is back to being the fullest expression of themselves. A child's life changed has an immeasurable impact on the future of humanity and the world." - Dr. David Lutz
