PSA for all my moms juggling all the things:
Your FSA/HSA benefits expire soon… use it or lose it!

If you’ve still got money sitting in your account, chiropractic care is an approved (and super helpful) way to use it before the year ends.

Now is the time.
Those funds don’t roll over — once January hits, they’re gone.

Send me a message and we’ll get you on the schedule. 🤍

It’s almost Thanksgiving! A quick heads-up: I’ll be in the office Monday only that week.
My sister and her family will be here, and I haven’t seen her in person in four years. As adults, it’s wild how the days feel long but the years fly by, so we’ll be busy soaking up every minute of togetherness.

Thank you for giving me the gift of serving your families while still being present with my own. It truly is the best job in the world.
Please plan ahead for your visits, and enjoy this season with the people you love. 🧡

You know that moment when you just know another ear infection is coming?
The tugging… the crying at night… the “Mom, it hurts.”
And your heart just sinks.

Because you’ve done everything:
✔ antibiotics
✔ garlic oil
✔ warm compresses
✔ probiotics
✔ the humidifier
✔ “Wait and see” (aka stress city)

But if the ear can’t drain… the cycle repeats.

Here’s where chiropractic care fits in:
A gentle pediatric adjustment (no neck twisting, no cracking) helps the Eustachian tube actually drain by activating the trigeminal nerve and the TVP muscle that opens the tube.

When the ear drains → the fluid doesn’t sit → and infection has a harder time taking hold.
Simple. Body-based. Root-cause.

There’s even a study where 80% of kids didn’t have another infection within 6 months after starting chiropractic care (with occasional wellness visits).
We see this in our office all the time.
Moms tell us: “They sleep better. They’re happier. Their little body finally got a break.”

If your child is stuck in the ear infection loop…
I see you. I get it.
And I’d love to help you understand what’s going on in their nervous system.

✨ Send me a message if you want to chat.
Or just comment EAR and I’ll reach out privately.

🎃 Brain-Based Tips for a Calmer Halloween 👻

Halloween can be so much fun… but sometimes all the costumes, noise, and surprises can send one’s nervous systems into overdrive.
Here are a few ways to help little brains (and bodies) stay regulated this spooky season:

🧠 Create prediction — talk about what’s coming and even practice trick-or-treating at Grandma’s or a neighbor’s house.

💛 Traditions aren’t mandatory! You can always create new ones that fit your family’s needs. (We’ve had years we stayed home, watched Coco, and loved it.)

👕 Consider sensory sensitivities — choose soft, comfy costumes that don’t restrict or irritate.

🎧 Bright lights and loud noises? Try noise-cancelling headphones and give lots of prep time.

🍭 Instead of a sugar overload, try a candy trade-in for a toy, or swap for treats with less sugar and no food dyes. The ‘Ditch Witch’ is a fun way to incorporate this.

Small changes can make a big difference for calmer kids and happier memories.
You know your child best — do what helps them thrive 💫
