Mom knew something felt off. He was tense, fussy, not settling the same. And instead of waiting, she listened. Within moments of a gentle adjustment, his body softened, his legs melted, and his nervous system shifted into ease.

🔍 Here's what I assess on every baby that comes through our doors:
1. Latch & oral ties: If nursing feels like a struggle, baby is clicking, or can't get a deep latch, tension in the jaw, tongue, and neck is usually part of the story.
2. Cervical spine mobility: The neck takes the most stress during delivery. Restrictions here can cause baby to favor one side or struggle to latch on both breasts.
3. Cranial tension: Newborn skull bones are designed to move during birth. Sometimes they need a little help, affecting sleep and how settled baby feels overall.
4. Sacral torsion: When the sacrum is restricted, the entire digestive system feels it. This is often the root of constipation, trapped gas, and that uncomfortable bloated belly.
5. Nervous system tone: The foundation for everything. Sleep, feeding, digestion, and overall ease all depend on a calm, regulated nervous system.

If your baby is struggling with any of these, their body may just be asking for a little support. 🤍

If you’ve ever fallen asleep nursing or woken up with a toddler using your neck as a pillow… this one’s for you. Mom neck is REAL. This stretch opens the front of the neck and counteracts all that forward hunching we do while loving our babies. Try it, and let me know if you got instant relief like I did.

Another great weekend at Hot Springs Health and Fitness! Dr. Matt Nickerson and athletes are cooking up something for the area and state meets coming up!!! 💪💪

Special Olympics Training week 3! This weekend we changed it up and did a bodybuilding split instead of the standard barbell work. Sometimes it's good to mix it up and create different stimulus. Everybody had fun and got better!

I love that I get to love on babies as adorable as this little man ALL DAY. And the mamas, too, of course 💕

If feeding feels harder than you expected, you’re not alone 🤍

One of the first things we check when newborns come into our office is their sucking reflex and latch because feeding challenges are often connected to nervous system regulation, muscle tension, and reflex patterns.

Sometimes small shifts make a BIG difference in how baby feeds, settles, and connects.

If you’re a local mama wondering whether your baby’s latch, feeding, or fussiness is “normal”… you don’t have to figure it out alone.

✨ We love supporting families from the very beginning ✨

Imagine if nervous system regulation started at birth.
I don’t take lightly the privilege of supporting these early moments that can shape a lifetime of health.

Sometimes I pause mid-adjustment and think… how lucky am I?

To hold a brand new human.
To help their nervous system find calm.
To support families at the very beginning of their story.
