No two bodies are the same — and care shouldn’t be either.

When I assess someone, I’m not just looking at where it hurts. I’m paying attention to movement, posture, tension patterns, and how the body adapts to stress.

The goal is always to support function — not just chase symptoms.

Not every body responds the same way — and that doesn’t mean anything is “wrong.”

Sometimes the nervous system needs calming before the body is ready for correction.

In my practice, chiropractic care and nervous system support aren’t separate — they’re complementary.
The approach depends on how your body responds.

Stress doesn’t stay in the mind — it shows up in the body.

Neck tension, shoulder tightness, jaw clenching, and headaches are often signs that the nervous system has been carrying too much for too long.

Chiropractic care helps restore movement and reduce physical stress so the body can adapt more efficiently again.

I had a lot of thoughtful questions after my last post about Thursday dedicated Craniosacral sessions, so I wanted to share a little more context 🤍

These sessions are intentionally slower and more focused — designed for people who feel like their nervous system has been “on” for too long.

Clients often come in for:
• persistent tension or headaches
• stress that’s showing up physically
• feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves
• wanting deeper, more subtle work

Thursdays are reserved specifically for this style of care, and availability is limited.

If this resonates with you, details and current openings are available through the link in my bio.

And if you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, you’re always welcome to send me a message — I’m happy to help guide you.

One of the most common questions I hear is:
“What does craniosacral therapy actually feel like?”

Most people are surprised by how subtle — yet deeply relaxing — a session can be.

During a craniosacral session, you may notice:
✨ A sense of calm or grounding
✨ Gentle shifts or release in the body
✨ Deep relaxation (many people fall asleep)
✨ A quieting of the nervous system

Light, intentional touch that supports your body’s natural ability to regulate and heal.

Each session is unique, and your body leads the process.

If you’ve been feeling stressed, have trouble sleeping through the night, are overwhelmed, or “stuck,” craniosacral therapy can be a gentle place to begin.

New year, same body — just better supported 💙
Instead of resolutions, think routines that help your body adapt, heal, and thrive.
Consistency > intensity.

Here’s to a healthy, grounded start to the year ✨

✨ New Year’s Week Office Hours ✨

We’ll be open during the week of New Year’s with the following hours:
📅 Monday 12/28-9AM-7PM, Wednesday 12/31-9AM-4PM & Friday 9AM-3PM

As we head into the new year, this is also a good time to remember that FSA and HSA funds can be used for chiropractic care, and many deductibles reset soon. If you’ve been meaning to prioritize your health, now can be a simple way to do that.

Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year! 🎉

Magnesium is one of the most common nutrients I discuss with patients—especially when it comes to
✨ muscle tension
✨ stress
✨ sleep support

But here’s the key: it’s not just about taking magnesium. It’s about taking the right form for your body.

Different types support different needs, which is why guidance matters. For patients who need extra support, I review magnesium as part of a whole-body approach, not a quick fix.

Because supplements should support your care—not create guesswork.

Holiday dinner with this incredible group of ladies🤍✨

So grateful to work alongside Maria and Cathy, who have each been with me for over 13 years (and my sister and mom who are always there to help). Their loyalty, dedication, and support mean more to me than words can say. Truly thankful for the teamwork, trust, and heart that make our days together so special—especially during the holidays. Cheers to many more years together 🥂🎄 We had an amazingly delicious dinner at the cozy, warm . We highly recommend it!

☃️ Snow much shoveling… how’s your body feeling today? ❄️💪

Clearing the driveway can do more than just tire you out — it can leave your back, neck, and shoulders feeling less than merry. Take a look at our snowman pain scale and tell us… where do you land after all that snow shoveling?

🟢 Feeling frosty but fine
🟡 A little stiff and sore
🔴 Fully melted with aches and pains

👇 Drop your color, number, or emoji in the comments!

And if shoveling turned into low back pain, neck tension, or shoulder discomfort that just won’t thaw out, we’re here to help you get back to moving comfortably and safely.

❄️ Your spine will thank you.
