Moms, did you know your nervous system is your most powerful birth tool? Here's why. 👇

♥️ Brake pedal (parasympathetic): initiates labor when your body feels safe
♥️ Gas pedal (sympathetic): powers labor
♥️ Brake pedal (parasympathetic): enables bonding and recovery after birth

When your nervous system can shift smoothly between these states, that's when your labor progresses, and recovery is smooth. When it's stuck in stress mode, things can stall out during delivery or even fail to start.

We love it when our pregnant PWC mamas make sure to keep their nervous system ready to go during one of the most challenging and intense moments of their lives. We are so amazed at what they do!! Super heroes before, during, and after baby's arrival. 🥹

Here are some birth affirmations to save for when you are in this season of life. Repeating these truths over you and your baby! 🫶

“I was trying not to get sick from simply moving around…” 🤰This mama experienced extreme nausea during both pregnancies — but the second time around was especially hard while also caring for a toddler. She described it as feeling hopeless... like it was never going to end. So she sought care from PWC in hopes that it would bring her some much-needed relief! 💜

"The office staff was so kind and caring when they would see me. They showed a lot of empathy, which made me feel seen and cared for, while I personally felt like death."
As the doctors focused on helping her body balance out and calm her stomach through gentle, Neurologically-Focused Adjustments, the ‘feeling like death’ turned to getting life back again! The daily vomiting stopped, and she FINALLY started to feel like herself again. ✨

Now, both Ellyn, her daughter, and their new baby boy look forward to their continued adjustments to keep them thriving and healthy! Her daughter ‘just loves them,’ she says! 🥰

Your baby starts learning from you before they are even born. 🥹
Every signal teaches your baby's developing nervous system how to respond to the world. When you are under regular care during your pregnancy, not only do you get to experience better sleep, more energy, less tension, more room for baby, smoother and faster labor times... but your nervous system will have less stress and more regulation. Which also means your baby will have less stress and more regulation, too. 💕

Stress mode 👉 calm mode.
Gas pedal stuck 👉 balanced system.

We’re so excited to introduce our newest interns, Peyton and Kaitlin! 🎉💛

Both Peyton and Kaitlin are students at Logan University in St. Louis, where they’ve been deeply involved in the pediatric and family chiropractic community. Together, they co-founded Club PX St. Louis, an off-campus club for students who want to learn more about pediatric and family neurologically focused chiropractic, and both served as leaders within the club during their time in school. They have currently stepped away from leadership roles to fully pursue and focus on their internship opportunities.

During their time at Logan, both Peyton and Kaitlin have been active in Club PX St Louis, have shadowed and interned at multiple PX Docs offices, and have earned their Certificate of Proficiency in Pediatrics & Family Chiropractic through The Pediatric Experience—a true reflection of their heart and commitment to family care ❤️

Peyton is usually on the hunt for a great cup of coffee, planning her next adventure, or spending quality time with the people she loves. She has a huge heart for serving expecting moms and kiddos and is especially passionate about supporting families during some of life’s biggest (and sweetest!) seasons. She’s excited to continue learning from incredible mentors, growing in confidence and communication, and walking alongside families on their health journeys.

Kaitlin can often be found exploring antique shops, crafting something creative, curled up with a good book, or spending time with friends and family. Her chiropractic journey began with a desire to help bodies heal naturally and has grown into a calling to serve children and families right from the very beginning. She’s deeply passionate about nervous system–focused care and loves creating a calm, welcoming space where kids and parents feel safe, supported, and cared for.

Both Peyton and Kaitlin share a love for family-centered care, a heart for kids and moms, and a passion for helping families thrive. We’re beyond grateful to have them on our team!! Help us give them a big, warm welcome! 🤍
