When Grace first came to Thrive, nursing was anything but peaceful. Her latch struggles came with a lot of tightness on the left side of her body tummy time wasn’t enjoyable, being held was uncomfortable, and she was often stiff as a board unless she was asleep.

Her mama was exhausted and overwhelmed. There were days Grace would scream for 45 minutes straight, and mom felt like she was the only one who could comfort her.

Like so many families, they tried everything — discovering a dairy protein allergy, changing mom’s diet, switching bottles and formula, and even completing a tongue and lip tie release. While those steps helped a little, Grace’s latch was still struggling and nursing remained painful.

THEN they found Thrive.

After just 3–4 visits with Dr. James, Grace’s latch improved so much — and that’s when mom knew chiropractic care was making a real difference.

Now, Grace is officially a nursing champion, and life looks completely different for their family. Feeding is easier, Grace is more comfortable in her body, and everyone is finally able to breathe again.

And as a bonus? Thrive visits are fun for the whole crew — big sisters love the play area and snacks, making care something the entire family looks forward to. 🧡

Supporting tiny nervous systems, helping bodies release tension, and walking alongside families through every stage is at the core of who we are.

If you’re struggling with latch, feeding, or comfort in your little one — you don’t have to do this alone. If you relate to this story and are searching for help, visit the link in our bio or DM us!

Many moms who are told they're “high-risk” for pre-eclampsia are confused about why this is happening and what they can do to prevent it. Keep reading or send this to an expecting mom friend. 🤍

Pre-eclampsia is usually more about how the nervous system is responding to stress when we break it down to the root.

🚗 Gas pedal = stress and alert mode

🚗 Brake pedal = rest, growth, and healing mode

Pregnancy asks your body to spend more time on the brake pedal side so blood vessels can soften, your heart can adapt, and your baby can grow. When stress has been running the show for a long time, it can make those shifts harder for the body to access.

That’s why research shows ongoing maternal stress is strongly linked to a higher risk of pre-eclampsia. 📊

When the nervous system feels supported and safe, the body is often able to do what it was designed to do better during such a special time in life. 🥹 That best news? That's our specialty at TFC. Moms deserve answers that feel empowering, not scary. 💗

At Thrive, we call this cascade of events, “The Perfect Storm.” 🌪️

From prenatal stress to birth trauma, to developmental delays, chronic illness, anxiety, and depression… One thing can and does lead to another! And if you ask your traditional pediatrician about any of these struggles, chances are they may have said, “They’ll grow out of it" or "Just wait and see.” But that isn’t always the approach we, as parents, want to take when it comes to our child’s health! Rightfully so, we want to help them, and right now!

This is why our team at TFC fully believes that when you think something more is going on, you’re most likely right! ♥️ This Perfect Storm doesn’t have to continue in your child’s life. It doesn’t have to ever start if we catch it during preconception and before birth!
