Your heart rate tells one story. Your Heart Rate Variability tells the real story šŸ’“

HRV scans are a game-changer in understanding how you and your child’s nervous system is actually functioning. Here’s why they matter:

What is HRV?

Heart Rate Variability measures the time between each heartbeat. Sounds simple, but it reveals SO much about your nervous system’s ability to adapt to stress.

Why we use it

✨ Shows us how balanced your sympathetic (ā€œfight or flightā€) and parasympathetic (ā€œrest and digestā€) systems are
✨ Predicts how well your body can handle physical, emotional, and chemical stress
✨ Helps us create personalized care plans based on YOUR nervous system’s needs
✨ Tracks your progress objectively—so we can see the changes happening inside your body

The goal?
Higher variability = better nervous system adaptability = better overall health and resilience šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

Think of it like this: a flexible, adaptable nervous system can respond appropriately to whatever life throws at you. A rigid, stressed nervous system gets stuck in patterns that lead to symptoms like anxiety, digestive issues, sleep problems, behavior challenges in kids, and more.

We don’t guess—we assess. And HRV scans are one of the ways we see exactly how your nervous system is functioning and where we need to focus our care.

Let’s talk about tongue ties—from a chiropractor who just got hers released. šŸ‘…

After working with countless babies and families dealing with ties, I (Dr. Kelli) finally addressed my own posterior tongue tie. Here’s what I want you to know. šŸ‘‰šŸ¼

Swipe to learn:
• What a posterior tongue tie actually is
• The signs I missed for 30+ years
• Why my approach to ties has evolved
• The procedure & recovery (honest timeline)
• Results I’m seeing at 2 weeks post-op
• Our both/and approach at TRC
• When to consider release for your child

Here’s the truth: I used to believe bodywork could manage all tongue ties. For my daughter, it did—until it didn’t.

We managed beautifully with adjustments and bodywork. She nursed for 20 months and thrived. But as she’s gotten older, we’re seeing limitations we can’t fully address with conservative care alone.

So I went first. Experienced it myself before making decisions for her. It was a beautiful experience. The bodywork, therapy and stretches I did before and after have made this SUCH an easy experience.

The biggest takeaway? This isn’t either/or—it’s both/and.

Bodywork should be the FIRST line of support. But sometimes, even with consistent nervous system care, the physical restriction needs to be addressed.

We’re here to support your family through BOTH paths. Whether you choose bodywork alone or bodywork + release, nervous system support is essential.

PS. I’ll be talking more about my experience on stories and this month’s newsletter—stay tuned!

Questions about tongue ties? Drop them below or DM us. I’m an open book about this experience šŸ’•

The haunted houses we’re actually living in šŸ‘»

Some are funny, some hit deep, but they all point back to the same thing: our nervous systems are carrying stories that need to be heard and healed.

Whether it’s generational patterns we’re breaking, daily chaos we’re navigating, or the invisible load we’re carrying—it all lives in the nervous system.

Which one resonates most with you? šŸ’•

Your mama intuition is actually your nervous system picking up on signals—trust it! šŸ”®

One of the most common things we hear from parents is ā€œI knew something was off, but everyone told me I was overthinking it.ā€ Listen—that gut feeling is REAL, and you are your child’s best advocate šŸ’—

Today we’re covering nervous system red flags by age so you know when to seek help. These signs don’t always mean something is seriously wrong, but they DO warrant a nervous system evaluation. The earlier we catch nervous system dysfunction, the easier it is to address!

Swipe to see age-specific red flags and learn when to act vs. when to wait and see āž”ļø

Here’s the thing: you don’t need to see ALL these signs to seek help. If your mama gut is telling you something isn’t right, that’s enough. We’re here to listen, evaluate, and support your family šŸ«¶šŸ»

Which red flag made you think ā€œthat’s my kiddo!ā€? Share in the comments—you might help another mama realize she’s not alone! šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Next week in our Nervous System 101 series: we’re breaking down exactly how chiropractic care supports your child’s nervous system. Can’t wait to share!

The family behind Rosemary Farms
Hello friends, we are the Bernard’s. Robert, Victoria, Thomas and RosemaryšŸ‘¼šŸ»
Robert and I started a small personal chicken flock back in 2020 and never looked back for store bought eggs. Fast forward through life 5 years… marriage, land, 2 babies (and counting) and 300 chickens later. Rosemary Farms was born after our 2nd child, Rosemary, passed far too young. Carrying her memory through this journey has been so bittersweet. We love sharing our passion of healthy living and home to table nourishing foods. Thank you to all of you have been supporting us from the very beginning and welcome to everyone just finding usšŸ’›

I honestly don’t even know where to begin 🄹

Fall Fest was supposed to be a simple celebration for our TRC family—a way to say thank you to all of you who’ve trusted us with your nervous systems over the last 3.5 years. But it turned into something so much bigger than I could have imagined.

Watching you all show up, connect with each other, and build community in a real, tangible way… I’m literally crying as I type this.

Three years ago, I couldn’t have dreamed of pulling off an event like this. But here we are—and it’s not because of me alone.

To Taylor, my mom, and Amelie (who somehow did 21 HRV scans that day 🤯)—thank you for showing up and making this possible.

To Scotti-jo—thank you for being the most outgoing, friendly, go-with-the-flow baby. I love you endlessly

To every vendor who brought the magic: , , , the mini farmers market—you made Fall Fest what it was.

To for capturing these memories I’ll treasure forever (stay tuned for more photos over the next few days šŸ“øāœØ).

To , , .lafayette , , , , Lexi K Perron and for donating to our giveaway—your generosity means the world.

And to every single one of you who came out (or cheered us on from afar)—you’re the reason this practice exists. You’re the reason I do what I do.

Lafayette is the best community because everybody knows everybody, everyone supports each other, and we somehow attract the most incredible humans.

We vastly underestimated how many of you would show up. And honestly? That’s the most beautiful problem to have.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you. It is truly an honor to serve you and be part of this community.
Can’t wait to do this again next year šŸ˜‰

I love you all šŸ«¶šŸ»
xoxo,
Dr. Kelli

This right here. 10 out of 10. I’m obsessed šŸ«¶šŸ»

You know what this is? A nervous system that’s finally able to REST.

No tension. No discomfort. No stress signals firing. Just This right here. THIS is what I want for every baby šŸ’•

A nervous system so calm, so regulated, that their little body just melts into pure rest.

No tension holding them back. No stress signals firing. Just peace.

This is what happens when we support the nervous system through gentle, specific chiropractic care. When we remove interference and let the brain and body communicate the way they’re meant to.

Parents spend so much time trying to soothe, calm, and settle their babies—but sometimes what babies need most is nervous system support so their bodies can ACTUALLY rest.

If your baby struggles to settle, seems uncomfortable, or is always ā€œonā€ā€”this might be exactly what they need šŸ’•

Let’s get your baby feeling this regulated. Link in bio to schedule šŸ‘¶šŸ»āœØ

That tongue tie? It’s not just a feeding issue—it’s a nervous system issue.

Whether you’re watching your baby struggle to latch or you’re an adult who’s lived with a tie your whole life, here’s what I want you to know:

Tongue ties create tension that ripples through the ENTIRE body. That restricted fascia doesn’t just stay in the mouth—it affects how the brain communicates with the spine, the jaw, the shoulders, and beyond.

I’ve been there. I have a tongue tie—and I’m finally getting it released in a couple of weeks. But here’s what I’ve learned through my own research and work with patients: even after release, the body has spent years (or in my case, decades) building compensation patterns. Those movement patterns, that tension, the way my nervous system learned to function around the restriction—none of that just disappears with the procedure.

This is why nervous system-focused chiropractic care is so important:

šŸ«¶šŸ» For babies currently struggling with a tie
šŸ«¶šŸ» For little ones who’ve had a tie released
šŸ«¶šŸ» For adults living with the long-term effects of a tie (before and after release)

Your body adapted to that tension. Now it needs support to relearn proper alignment, restore communication, and function the way it was designed to.

If this resonates with your family’s story, let’s talk. I’ll be walking this journey right alongside you šŸ’•
