Welcome to the world baby girl!! ❤️❤️

Little miss Josephine came into the world in a hurry on August 2nd with the help of Wendy Wong of the North Don River Midwives.

We are happy to report that everyone is doing well and settling into this new life of a family of four.

While I’m out of the office, there are amazing chiropractors providing coverage for my maternity leave.

St John’s Active Care has Dr Casey Baker on Tuesday afternoons to focus on paediatric and perinatal patients and Dr Peyton Smith on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons for general population patients. Dr Smith is also an acupuncture provider.

Oona Wellness has Dr Pegah and Dr Fazia as in-house coverage for the paediatric and perinatal patients.

I will be out of the office for the next few months.

While I am away getting to know my new daughter and adjusting to being a mom of 2 🫣, I have selected the best providers to fill in for me.

At St John’s Active Care, I have 2 chiropractors providing coverage for me.
Dr Casey Baker is in on Tuesdays 1-5pm to focus on providing care for my youngest patients (the babies, toddlers and child age children), prenatal and postnatal patients. She is absolutely fantastic and I am so grateful that she is able to take time from her Barrie clinic to cover my maternity leave.

Dr Peyton Smith is an Aurora local that focuses on adults, seniors, athletes, weekend warriors and everyone in between. She is certified in Acupuncture, cupping, taping and chiropractic care. She will be starting at the end of August with hours on Tuesday 10-1pm, Thursday 12-6:30pm and one Saturday a month.

Online booking is available for both of these chiropractors through the St John’s Active Care website.

Earlier this week, I woke up to the best email that I can possibly get from a prenatal patient - the cancellation email for prenatal care with an awesome birth story! 🥰🥰🥰

I am so grateful to the pregnant people that trust in me and my skills as a perinatal chiropractor to help with their health and wellbeing during and after pregnancy.

This momma is happy, healthy and healing at home with her 2 babies (a new one and a toddler) and her partner. She is already thinking about her postpartum care and wellbeing. I am so excited for her future appointment that we will assess and see how I can support her in her healing process after pregnancy.

I am so grateful this is part of my job.

Saturdays are BACK!!

Thank you all for your patience as I came back from my maternity leave. I now have Saturdays available for booking again. It will be a shorter day for now, as we find this new work-life balance.

Thank you for trusting me as a member of your health care team. I’m thrilled to be able to help pregnant people, caregivers and their children feel their best.

Paediatric Chiropractic Treatments are not something that people think about for the most part.
“What would a newborn need help with? They’re new to this world. “
This is a common misconception.
Infants are impacted by their positions in the womb as well as their delivery. This is more common in babies that:
🔸are a multiple
🔸spend the majority of the 3rd trimester in the same position 🔸had a prolonged pushing period (2+ hours)
🔸were breech
🔸needed assistance during delivery (forceps, vacuum, emergency c-section, epistomy)
🔸have difficulty latching on one breast compared to the other/ only takes a bottle in one position
🔸tongue ties are present
🔸painful latch
🔸doesn’t look one way
🔸Wellness Visit
…this is not an exhaustive list. There are many other concerns that will benefit from chiropractic care.

Chiropractic treatment for infants is safe, gentle and evidence-based. Treatment uses light, sustained pressure to get long lasting changes.

If you are wondering if chiropractic care can help your infant, book a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your specific concerns with me.

Warmly,
Dr Katie

Return to exercise postpartum looks different for each person.

Here are some suggestions to start or restart your postpartum fitness journey.

1. Breathe. Lie on the ground. Reconnect to your Transverse Abs. Practice moving your diaphragm and pelvic floor together as a unit again.

2. Walking. Yes, walking. Start back slow and listen to your body. If you experience heaviness in your pelvic floor at any point throughout the rest of the day, you’ve down too much.

3. Strength. Avoid the urge to focus on shrinking yourself back down by social media pressure to Snap back from your pregnancy. Let’s reframe to instead focus on rebuilding your strength and giving yourself grace and honour your body for growing and housing your baby for 9 months.

4. Join a local Mom and Baby fitness group. Acknowledge this will take time to feel like yourself again. To paraphrase Sarah Snider, be kind to yourself, you may not be able to do as much as you could last week. You could be sleep deprived, dehydrated or lacking a good diet right now. Each workout is going to feel different and that’s okay.

** If you are more than 8 weeks postpartum and still experiencing pelvic heaviness, leakage or the sudden urge to p*e; please reach out to a pelvic floor physiotherapist. This symptoms are not longer normal and need attention. ***
