Being a mom to Lucas and Juliette has been the most joyous and meaningful experience of my life. In my practice, pediatric chiropractic and craniosacral allows me to support moms and families by optimizing their child’s health and wellbeing. When you help a baby that is has colic, constipation, torticolis, plagiocepahly or trouble breastfeeding you change the babies life and enhance the parenting experience. We also love to mother the mother🙂

One of my favorite things to share with new parents is how to help their babies development with tummy time. Babies develop from the top down. Tummy on time strengthens the neck, back, and arms in preparation for pushing up and eventually crawling and sitting. You can encourage prolong tummy time with beautiful objects like these water bags, or even just laying on your belly and gazing at your baby face to face. Talk to them, sing to them, or make funny faces…the most important thing is to just be with them. 🌸

Every single day I feel the great joy and privilege of working with people on their health and well-being. Chiropractic and craniosacral has been a joyful way to serve so many beautiful patients over the past 33 years! And you know what? Every single morning I wake up excited to do this work, and leave the office at the end of the day with a full heart!🙏

Happy Friday Eveyone!

I hope this quote serves as a gentle reminder that although it may seem like a lot of work to maintain a healthier lifestyle, it's the best investment we could make towards our future selves.

Don't wait until you are sick or in pain to clean up your diet and lifestyle, or get adjusted.

My favorite visits are when people are "feeling fine" and we can go deep and clear old patterns that have become almost invisible to us. Not to mention the relaxation!

Tips for kids and backpack use:
- Wear the backpack with 2 straps to ensure even weight distribution.
- Use legs when lifting backpack up, avoid bending. -Make sure shoulder straps are padded for extra comfort and support. Don't overload.

Heavy backpacks can cause neck and back pain, headaches and of course poor posture that can affect how the spine grows.

Preventative care is just as important for our kids as it is for us.
