In the neurologically-focused paediatric Chiropractic world, “The Perfect Storm” describes a convergence of early life stressors that can disrupt a child’s nervous system development and can ultimately lead to chronic health issues.

The PX Docs “Perfect Storm” framework consists of:

➕Fertility challenges
➕Prenatal stress
➕Birth interventions
➕Frequent exposure to toxins, including the overuse of antibiotics and other medications
➕Compromised gut microbiome and immune system function

Each of these builds from one to the next until you have a child who has an overworked, dysfunctional and dysregulated nervous system.

This leads to disrupted and delayed neurological and brain development during the most sensitive or critical periods of development (starting as early as the in-utero fetal development period), and then being thrown off track during the crucial infant, toddler, and early childhood stages.

Common conditions that typically occur with a “Perfect Storm” include:

➕Colic
➕Constipation
➕Chronic Ear Infections
➕Missed Milestones/Developmental Delays
➕Autism Spectrum Disorder
➕Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
➕Sensory Processing Disorder
➕Emotional regulation issues
➕Mental Health conditions like Anxiety

As neurologically focused Chiropractors we understand intimately that when the nervous system is subjected to multiple stressors of the “The Perfect Storm,” it can result in a condition called dysautonomia.

Dysautonomia refers to a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which can cause an imbalance between the sympathetic “fight or flight” response and the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response.

As one of only 300 practices worldwide who are part of the PX Docs network, what sets us apart is our comprehensive, personalised approach to paediatric chiropractic care.

We have state of the art diagnostic technolgy, advanced protocols & treatment techniques, and we know how to make powerful impact on the nervous system to unwind complex issues.

1 in 6 kids are struggling with sensory issues and the associated nervous system challenges.

And everyday parents are being told by their doctor “It’s just a phase, they’ll grow out of it.”

We couldn’t disagree more! 😖

Early intervention is the key to preventing their sensory struggles spiralling into long-term and bigger issues.

The reality is - kids don’t grow out of nervous system issues, they grow into bigger challenges.

If you are watching your child struggle with:

💣Meltdowns over the smallest things
💣Go into overwhelm with certain textures, fabrics or foods
💣Shut down and become emotional in crowds, stimulating environments or around noise

It’s not something they will “grow out of”, it’s a powerful signal from a nervous system that’s struggling to process the world around it.

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is something that affects how the brain and nervous system respond to sights, sounds, touch and movement.

SPD can make routine life feel like a constant battle for your child, and as parents it’s confusing, isolating and stressful because you never quite know what will set them off next.

The good news?

We understand deeply what is at the heart of their challenge, and we know how to create positive change.

Parents come to us after they have tried everything else - and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Because when you finally uncover the root cause, the transformation is undeniable!

This is where science meets hope.

Where kids get their spark back.

And families find the answers they have been searching for.

So don’t ask us for advice - unless you are ready for everything to change 💫

You’ve likely been told:

❌ It’s just a phase, they will grow out of it.
❌You need more structure, boundaries and discipline.
❌They therapy or counselling
❌Let’s monitor and wait and see
❌Medication is the next step
❌There’s nothing medically wrong

But none of those approaches get to the heart of what’s really happening.

The truth is: for many kid’s their anxiety is not a behavioural problem - it’s a nervous system that’s stuck in fight/flight, unable to self-regulate.

At This Is Life, we see it time and time again: kids who have been to doctors, therapists and naturopaths, with parents who have tried every parenting strategy out there to help their anxious and overwhelmed child.

The vital missing piece - no one has looked at their nervous system.

So we start where others are unable to go – using state of the art technology called INSiGHT scans to map out exactly where tension is stuck, how regulation is broken, and which neurological pathways need to be restored.

The care patients receive in our practice has absolutely no guesswork – it is data driven and measurable.

Because our goal is not just to reduce the symptoms. It’s to redesign the system.

If your child is drowning in overwhelm right now – we are here to tell you that your child’s nervous system has an incredible capacity for healing and adaptation.

It just needs the right support to remember how to find balance again.

Book a complimentary discovery call today so we can explore if what we do is the right modality for you.

If you feel there must be more, you’re absolutely right – there is.

Too many Chiropractors step into Associate roles only to feel stuck.

❌ No real mentorship
❌ No opportunity to grow beyond the basics
❌ No pathway to making the kind of impact you imagined when you graduated

At This Is Life, we’re changing that story.

In our practice, you will:

⭐️ Train directly with Dr Ashley, a Chiropractor with 38+ years of experience solving complex neurological cases.
⭐️ Learn advanced diagnostic protocols, use of state of the art INSiGHT scans, and PX Docs paediatric protocols that most Chiropractors will never get access to.
⭐️ Work with families who are searching for answers they couldn’t find anywhere else - and watch lives transform before your eyes.

This isn’t just another job.

It’s a place to step into your power as a Chiropractor, rise to your potential, and become the kind of leader our profession desperately needs.

If there’s a small voice inside you saying “I know I’m capable of more”…

This is your sign.

Let’s be real - if the system worked, we wouldn’t have the sickest kids in history!

More kids today are struggling with chronic illness than ever before - anxiety, ADHD, ADD, asthma, allergies, chronic digestive issues, autism, sensory processing disorders, PANS, PANDAS and sensory challenges.

Yet we’ve never had more doctors, specialists, medications, or therapies available.

Something doesn’t add up!

The truth?

The conventional system was built to manage sickness, not to create health.

It focuses on labelling groups of symptoms and treating issues in isolation - not the nervous system that runs the whole show.

That’s why so many families end up with labels, prescriptions and endless waitlists…

Without a path to healing or long term plan to restore their child’s health.

At This Is Life, we do things differently.

We go straight to the missing link: your child’s nervous system.

Using advanced nervous system INSiGHT scans, we measure exactly how their nervous system is functioning and brain to body is communicating.

Then we build a personalised, data-driven care plan to help their body move from survival mode into healing mode.

Because health isn’t about chasing symptoms - it’s about restoring the body’s natural design.

If my phone conversations with potential patients are anything to go by - parents are waking up.

They’re no longer willing to accept “sick care as normal.”

It’s time to flip the script!

BUT WE DO!

So let’s not let the uneducated opinions of others, prevent you from accessing the life changing care your family so desperately deserves.

In the last two weeks I have booked 30 kids into care in our practice.

Never in Ashley’s 38 years in practice have we seen such an overwhelming and complex wave of paediatric patients.

These numbers are telling a very sad story.

There are so many kids out there who are seriously struggling.

And the reality is, the current medical approach, therapeutic offerings and resources for families are failing these poor kids and we are not okay with that!

I have spoken to parents in the last two weeks with kids at home with:

Autism
Sensory Processing Disorders
ADD and ADHD that is seriously interfering with their schooling
Oppositional Defiance Disorder
PANS and PANDAS
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Food Avoidance Disorders
Extreme Emotional Regulation Issues

And for many of these kids, they have overlapping issues that are preventing them from attending school, forming friendships and enjoying their childhood.

So before you let someone tell you that paediatric Chiropractic isn’t right for your child. I urge you to contact me so I can share some life changing free resources with you.

Because every parent deserves to know why our kids are struggling the way they are, and more importantly – that there are some brilliant paediatric Chiropractors out there who are creating miracles for young families every single day in their practices.

This what a healthy, regulated baby looks like 😍

Guess what the secret is?..

She has been getting neurologically focused Chiropractic care since she was in utero - and 9 months later..

She is thriving!

Parents need to know that so many of the health and developmental issues being “normalised” by society are absolutely not normal.

💣Tantrums
💣Digestive Challenges -constipation, reflux, excessive bloating, diarrhoea
💣Unsettled and Constant Crying
💣Sleep Issues
💣Delayed Milestones
💣Frequent Illness and Infections

Are all signs of a dysregulated nervous system with brain to body communication that is has gone haywire.

And here is the thing, the longer it remains untreated, the greater the impact on their health, development and behaviour.

Because kids don’t grow out of nervous system dysregulation, they grow into bigger challenges.

And if we can prevent these tiny humans from becoming the kinder and school age kids with:

💣ADD / ADHD
💣ODD and OCD
💣Anxiety and Panic Attacks
💣Sensory Challenges around clothes, food, sound and crowds
💣Emotional Regulation Issues
💣Chronic Sleep Challenges
💣Compromised Immune Systems

Then we have positively impacted their entire life!

The one thing most doctors won’t tell you as a new parent –

Your child’s nervous system sets the stage for every single aspect of their growth and development!

If it’s function is compromised (stuck in a sympathetic dominant or fight/flight state) from a very young age – think prenatal stress, birth trauma or interventions, early medications or antibiotic use, early illness or physical trauma.

Every single aspect of their health has the potential to go haywire too.

That shows up in their body as:

💣Compromised immune function
💣Compromised digestive function
💣Chronic sleep disruption
💣Cognitive issues (concentration, memory, focus and attention)
💣Chronic fatigue
💣Emotional regulation and mood challenges
💣Pain and inflammation
💣Sensory Challenges with food, clothing, noise and people

The reality is – waiting is not an option for these kids, they won’t grow out of their dysregulated nervous system – 38 years in practice has shown us that they will grow into a bigger and more ingrained health challenges that are much harder to reverse.

The good news is, there is so much we can do to help these kids. We are watching miracles unfold in our practice every single day.
