As both a chiropractor and a mom, I know how overwhelming it can feel to prepare for birth and life with a newborn. That’s why I’m so passionate about offering our 6-Week Labour Prep, Breastfeeding & Baby Care Series - starting November 4th.

This course is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence you deserve as you step into motherhood. Together, we’ll cover:
✔️ Birth preparation & pain management strategies
✔️ C-section recovery & postpartum healing
✔️ Breastfeeding basics, pumping & bottles
✔️ Baby care, safety & CPR

✨ You’ll also receive:
Resources you can revisit anytime
Access to expert Q&A
A supportive, welcoming community
The option to bill to extended insurance

Plus - birth supports and partners are encouraged to join!

💬 One of our past participants shared: “This course gave me tools and knowledge I didn’t get anywhere else. I felt truly prepared and confident.”

🎁 And don’t forget - if you refer a friend who registers, you’ll receive a $25 gift card of your choice!

👉 Register now to secure your spot and feel fully prepared for your journey into motherhood!

One thing we WISH we’d prepared more for? Food.
Not just for the baby - for us.
Here’s what worked best for keeping us fed, fueled & feeling human:

🍽️ Have a Meal Plan (That Doesn’t Involve You Cooking)
Whether it’s:
✅ Freezer meals
✅ A meal train
✅ Gift cards for takeout
✅ Weekly meal delivery...
..having a plan in place made all the difference.

And let’s not forget...

🥜 SNACKS!!!
In those early weeks postpartum (especially while breastfeeding), the hunger hit HARD. Having easy, grab-and-go snacks on hand was crucial.

Our go-to favs:
- PerfectBars
- Paleovalley Beef Sticks
- Almonds
- Oat Bites from Costco
- Lactation Cookies from a local chef (soooo good)

🌟 Pro tip: Keep snack baskets by your nursing station, bedside and couch!

Feeding yourself is not a luxury. It’s survival.
Make it as easy as possible - because you deserve to be cared for, too. 💛

Let’s talk about the real postpartum experience - because the first two weeks of breastfeeding can be overwhelming, emotional and full of questions. Here’s what you might encounter:

Milk Supply:
It can take a few days for your milk to fully come in. Colostrum comes first - and that tiny amount is powerful and perfect.

Cluster Feeding:
Baby might feed constantly - especially in the evenings. This is normal and helps establish your supply!

Latch Matters:
A deep, comfortable latch is key. Watch for signs of a poor latch like:
- Blisters or cracked ni***es
- Clicking, smacking, or leaking milk
- Lipstick-shaped ni***es
- Open-mouth breathing or white-coated tongue

Pain & Red Flags:
Some discomfort is normal at first, but sharp pain, bleeding, or signs of mastitis (swelling, fever, flu-like symptoms) are not. Get support ASAP.

Breast Preferences:
Some babies show tension or fussiness with one side - this can signal deeper issues like a muscle imbalance or oral restriction.

Tongue & Lip Ties:
These can impact latch, milk transfer and cause significant pain. Early assessment is key.

✨ You don’t have to do this alone.

We offer support and assessments - including C-Section scar therapy, postpartum rehab and help with feeding challenges.

📲 Book an appointment with our team for hands-on guidance and gentle, effective care.

Swipe to save these essentials for healing & comfort! 💛

Support for Movement & Laughter:
Keep a small pillow nearby to hold gently over your incision when coughing, laughing, or getting up. It helps reduce strain and protect the area.

Sheet or Rope Hack:
Tie a sturdy sheet or rope to your bed frame to help pull yourself up without engaging your core too much. Trust me - it’s a game-changer.

Breastfeeding Pillow:
A supportive pillow helps take baby's weight off your incision during feeds and cuddles.

Pain Management:
Most C-section mamas are only offered Tylenol & Advil - especially if breastfeeding. Stay on top of your schedule and don’t wait for pain to sneak up.

🌿 Bonus Tip:
Once your incision is healed, our C-Section Scar Treatment can help reduce tightness, sensitivity & improve appearance. It's gentle, effective and designed to support your body’s healing journey.

New baby? New body? New everything?
You don’t have to navigate it alone. Here’s your power team ⬇️

Us!
We offer hands-on care to help with postpartum recovery, C-section scar therapy, baby body tension, latch support & more.

Chiropractic, massage & physio can support healing, improve baby’s comfort and ease tension for both of you.

Lactation Consultant:
Struggling with latch, supply, or pain? They’re the go-to pros for personalized feeding support.

Midwives:
They don’t disappear after birth! Many offer 6-week+ postpartum support and can help with healing, mental health and feeding.

Pediatric Dentists:
Especially important for tongue and lip ties. Early assessment can make a huge difference in feeding and development.

Not sure if you're in labour or just feeling Braxton Hicks contractions? You're not alone—this is one of the most common questions late in pregnancy.

Here's how to tell the difference:

1️⃣ Timing:
Braxton Hicks = irregular + fade away
Labour = consistent, regular and closer together

2️⃣ Strength:
Braxton Hicks = uncomfortable
Labour = increasing in intensity

3️⃣ Movement Matters:
Change positions or walk around →
If it stops, it's Braxton Hicks
If it continues, it could be the real deal 👶

💡 Save this for later + share with a mama-to-be!

Think of a doula as your birth coach, support system and calm in the storm.

They’re there to make sure you (and your partner!) are supported, informed and as comfortable as possible during labour and delivery.
✅ Help with positioning & movement
✅ Hands-on comfort measures
✅ Emotional support
✅ Guidance during long labours
✅ Prenatal + postpartum education & care

A doula doesn’t replace your OB or midwife — they compliment your care team and help reduce unnecessary interventions.

💬 Curious about having a doula at your birth? Let’s talk.

Mother’s Day is a celebration of love in all its beautiful forms — to the moms, stepmoms, soon-to-be moms, those yearning to be, those grieving, those with angel babies, and those mothering furry companions — we see you.

Wishing you gentleness, gratitude, and grace today. 💫 You’re doing incredible work, in whatever chapter you’re in.
