🌟Something big is happening at my practice. 🎉

I am adding another doctor to my team! 🥰

Her name is Dr. Bailee.

She is a small-town farm girl, she is married, she is a mama to the most precious little girl, and she has a heart for women and kids that I honestly cannot even put into words.

✅ She is Webster certified.
✅ She is perinatal certified
✅ She is nearly pediatric certified.
All through the ICPA.

She knows this work. She loves this work.

And more than any of that — she gets it. Because she has lived it.

Between the two of us, we have worked with hundreds of women, mamas, babies, and kids.

We are both women. We are both moms. We have both been pregnant. We know what it feels like to walk into an office and just need someone to meet you where you are — without judgment, without rushing, without making you feel like your concerns are too small to matter.

We are here together to bring you the care you deserve! 💕

With the increasing schedule availability you aren’t going to have to wait 2-4 weeks to start care!! You deserve to get relief right away!

Stay tuned. I promise you, you are going to love her just as much as I do.😊

Can we talk about round ligament pain for a second? 👇

Because the narrative that it’s just something you endure during pregnancy? I don’t agree with.

Yes, your round ligaments are working incredibly hard to support your growing uterus.

That sharp, shooting pain when you move too fast, roll over in bed, or sneeze at the wrong moment, it’s real, and it’s exhausting.

But here’s what I want you to know: when your pelvis is out of alignment, your round ligaments are under uneven tension before you even take a step.

That’s why it feels so intense. That’s why it feels so constant.

Restoring balance to your pelvis takes the strain off those ligaments, and so many of the mamas I work with notice a significant difference in both the intensity and frequency of their pain.

You don’t have to grip the bed every time you roll over.
You don’t have to brace yourself every time you stand up.

You don’t have to just get through it.

Round ligament pain being common doesn’t make it something you have to suffer through. It makes it something worth addressing. 🤍

To the mama who has been told "it's normal," "they'll grow out of it," or "nothing is wrong”

I see you. And I want you to know: your instincts are not wrong.

You know your baby. You knew before anyone else that something was off. 🤱

That feeling in your gut that says this isn't just a phase, that's not anxiety. That's a mother's intuition. And it deserves to be taken seriously. 🤍

I've sat across from so many mamas who have whispered things to me they were almost ashamed to say out loud:
"I haven't even been able to enjoy her baby stage.”
"I can't give my other kids the attention they need because of how much he needs me."
"I just want them to be happy and comfortable. That's all I want."

If you've thought any of those things, you are not alone, you are not failing and there is no shame! 💕

You are a mother who is fighting for her baby!

If you've been up in the middle of the night scrolling for answers, let this be the sign you've been looking for.

As a Certified Pediatric Chiropractor, I’ve had the honor of helping so many babies, and their mamas, finally EXHALE!!!

Fussy babies. Babies who won't sleep. Babies who struggle to latch. Babies who don’t p**p daily. Babies who just seem uncomfortable in their own body.😫

You don't have to keep waiting for them to grow out of it.

Your baby deserves to feel good. And so do you. 🤍

Your baby hasn't p**ped in 7 days. Seven. 😮

And when they finally do, they scream. They strain. Their little face turns red and they're completely miserable, arching backwards, until it's over.

On top of it, you’re confused because you’ve been told "it's completely normal for babies to go a week without a bowel movement."
..I'm sorry, WHAT?

I can’t even imagine how I would feel if I was going 7 days without a bowel movement. I'd be in agony. 😩

Your baby is no different, they just can't tell you with words.

Pooping is basic a nervous system function. Your baby's body has to fully relax to eliminate. 💩

If there's tension in their spine or pelvis from birth, even a smooth birth, their nervous system can stay stuck in "guard mode." And you literally cannot p**p when you're tense.

This is why gripe water, probiotics, and bicycle legs give you temporary relief at best. You're treating the symptom, not the cause.

Gentle chiropractic for newborns isn't what you're picturing. No cracking. No forceful movements.

It's light, specific pressure, about as much as you'd use to check a peach for ripeness.

Your instinct that something is off? Trust it.

Let me help you help them, mama! 💛

"Common" doesn't mean "normal." And your baby doesn't have to keep suffering while you wait it out.

So many moms don’t realize the signs of infant tension because no one talks about it.😫

If your baby has:

• Strong early neck strength but only turns one way
• A head tilt to one side (torticollis)
• Flattening of the head (plagiocephaly)
• A “C-shaped” body curve
• Arching backward
• Hands constantly in fists
• Excessive reflux
• Colic or constant fussiness
• Difficulty sleeping
• Stiff limbs

These are often signs their little body is holding tension.

Birth is physical. Even “easy” births can create strain on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system. When that tension isn’t addressed, babies compensate, and those compensations can affect feeding, sleep, digestion, head shape, and movement patterns.👶

The good news? You don’t have to “wait and see.”

✨As a certified pediatric chiropractor with specialized training in gentle chiropractic adjustments and craniosacral therapy, I help release that tension safely and gently.

Moms often notice:
✨ Better sleep
✨ Less reflux & fussiness
✨ Improved head shape (often avoiding helmets)
✨ More balanced movement
✨ Happier, more comfortable babies

Your baby isn’t “dramatic.”
And you’re not overreacting. ❤️

If you’re seeing these signs, let’s address the root cause, not just manage the symptoms.

From hesitant first-timer to glowing review — this one means everything. 🤍

When this mama came to see me in her third trimester with constant back pain and headaches, she wasn't sure chiropractic was right for her. But a family referral brought her through our doors, and we're so glad it did.

She found relief before birth. Then went on to have her easiest and fastest delivery yet, out of three babies. And she believes her care here played a big role. 🙌

Next? She's brought her newborn in for reflux support, and experienced great results.

This is exactly why I do what I do.

Whether you're navigating a tough pregnancy, preparing your body for birth, or trying to help your little one thrive, you deserve care that is thorough, gentle, and genuinely invested in your wellbeing.

I'd love to be part of your journey. 💛

I want to start by saying this clearly: being a mom is hard. 🤍

Especially when you’re caring for yourself, other kids, the house, and a baby who may be frustrated or crying on the floor.

I get it. I’ve been there, many times!

The reason I chose to focus on floor time and baby wearing was because a baby’s growth and development and nervous system function is my passion.🧠

When babies are on the floor, their nervous system is constantly learning.
➡️Pressure through their hands
➡️movement through their hips
➡️effort through rolling and pushing

ALL help the brain and body learn how to work together.

This is how strength, coordination, motor skills, problem-solving, regulation, and confidence develop.🧠

Letting babies move freely on the floor supports development in a way that simply can’t be replicated when they’re placed into positions their bodies haven’t earned yet.

Now, this post isn’t meant to create guilt or pressure.

Sometimes containers are needed:
✅for safety
✅for getting things done, or
✅simply to take a breath

THAT’S REAL LIFE!

This is meant to educate parents that limiting container time and continually re-trying floor time or carrying is a powerful way to support growth and development over time.❤️

Did I have hard days? Absolutely!

Did I wish for an easier option sometimes? Of course!

Did I wish I would have just bought a swing? More than once!

But this was my choice, and I’ve also watched my baby’s growth and development take off, and that continues to reinforce why this mattered so much to me. 🥰

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about intention. And doing the best we can to support our babies while also navigating real life 🤍

If you need help navigating your baby’s growth and development, I’m here and so happy to help!
