🤰The benefits of Chiropractic care during Pregnancy

Pregnancy is beautiful, gentle, autonomous and powerful! Our role as perinatal Chiropractors is to support the nervous system so it supports you during the most physically changing times of your life.

When your spine and pelvis are aligned, your body has the space and capacity to function for two: your ever changing body adapting and your new baby's continuous development. A well aligned body allows for these stages to happen with more ease, less stress, and optimal connection.

🌱At Thrive Family Chiropractic, we focus on reducing nerve system interference so your body can do what it was designed to do: grow and nurture life! 🌱

Chiropractic care isn’t just about pain relief — it’s about honoring the innate wisdom within your body and preparing it for a safer, more connected birth experience.

✨ A Stronger Start ✨

we all deserve it. mothers definitely earn it.

Last night, I was recognized as a 2025 Postpartum Champion by .llc

Drove home reflecting on this…

For every postpartum mother standing up, there is a group of women behind her holding and keeping her up.

There’s a Camilla who always ask the intentional question of “but how are YOU doing?”; there’s a Christin supporting my pregnancy and advocating during the most delicate times of my birth when i was extremely sick and staying my by side for 40 hours; there’s an Aisha donating hundreds of ounces of breast milk to my son since day 1; there’s an Ajoa dropping that milk at the hospital so we can take our son home; there’s a Haley who captured beautiful memories of our family during the darkest days of early postpartum when i couldn’t look at myself in the mirror; there’s a TJ who texted me daily with prayers and inspirational messages when I refused to answer the phone; there’s a Dr Kate and Dr Sara who help me own my physical scar and recover from an unplanned cesarean; a Jessica who holds space for me when i need to vent about not always loving motherhood; there’s a Melissa and Lexi for creating a safe space to heal the healers and there’s The Motherhood Space where i was slowly put back together after everything i hoped for in my birth was taken away.

Motherhood is not meant to be done alone and because of that, Thrive Family Chiropractic continues to support community partners, these women-owned businesses that are doing the work and being the change our mothers need. We love caring for mothers and our doors are always open to serving 💜

Thank you so much for the recognition. It literally takes a village for me to do what I do. Thank you to all of you, even if not mentioned above, that showed up last night to support this important cause and have supported myself or our families in some way, shape or form

👣 How to Teach Children to Make Empowered Wellness Choices

🐛Wellness is not just having an absence of symptoms.

It’s asking yourself how you can attain outstanding health.
It’s making exercise and stress reduction a daily part of your lifestyle, choosing healthy foods and modeling this behavior for your children.
It's how we speak to ourselves, how we speak to others.
It's how we chose to show up in the world, with kindness and gratitude.

🦋Talk to your children about how strong their bodies are and the extraordinary things their bodies can do.

Show them how their bodies can miraculously heal a cut.
How their heart works and how they can strengthen their heart through exercise and healthy food.
How their immune system fights off germs and other invaders
How getting enough sleep makes them feel better throughout the day.

All these things can be taught in fun and imaginative ways. Just as going to the Chiropractor can be a family activity in their routine, not another doctor's appointment!

🌱Teach your kids to be proactive, not reactive with their health!

Kids observe, learn and imitate our behaviors. As a family, embrace Chiropractic as part of your life (like going for walks, exercising, eating whole foods) and talk to them about the power of Chiropractic care.

💫By reducing interference in the nervous system, we tap into our body’s natural potential ... the "innate", if you want to name it 💫

🌸 a mother’s intuition ✨

“When a woman is convinced that she is capable of birthing her baby calmly and with confidence, she is far more likely to experience that outcome.”

🌱Let us be part of this wonderful transformation, holding your hand every step of the way, YOUR way!

🗣️We are in the business of balancing the pelvis, NOT turning babies 🗣️

Our doctors have spent hours getting trained and certified in the Webster Technique. With that comes a responsibility to educate our families and other providers about what Chiropractic is and does and how we obtain outcomes like:

🌷shorter labors
🌷better postpartum recovery
🌷lower rate of interventions
🌷less musculoskeletal complaints during pregnancy

The Webster Technique is all about balancing out the pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments. When you do that, you create a better environment for the baby. Of course we cannot guarantee outcomes, but we know a balanced nervous system + a balanced pelvis = a happy, healthy mom with a happy, healthy environment ... which makes for happy, healthy babies. 😎

Share this post with an expectant mom. Make an appointment. Get adjusted. Start Thriving!
