"Chiropractic frees up signals of innate intelligence to flow from your brain to the body, allowing us to properly develop, heal and achieve normal function."

It is that simple -- when the nervous system is not disrupted by external or internal factors (thoughts, trauma, toxins), the body can express itself optimally.

🦋What does that mean for your children?

Optimal development
Improved sleep, digestion, immune response
Better emotional regulation

🦋What does that mean for new moms?

Better co-regulation with your baby
Improved breastfeeding
Better adaptation to motherhood

From birth and beyond. Chiropractic for all.

📚Back to school check-in!!! Mommas, how is stress showing up in your body this week: jaw, shoulders, chest?
You are doing great ... and remember, this is also a stressful transition for the kids!

When the mental load gets loud, try a 60-second reset and BREATHE! 💆‍♀️
Swipe left to see 2 breathing techniques you can incorporate to your daily routine ➡️Practice these with the kids too!

🌀 BOX BREATHING:

This rhythm cues your parasympathetic system to downshift: hello calmer heart rate, clearer focus, steadier mood.
▶️Inhale 4 • Hold 4 • Exhale 4 • Hold 4 (×4 rounds)◀️
This is particularly helpful when walking into an environment that may make us anxious, insecure or worried. It can also help little ones downregulate at the end of the day after so much stimulation from school, play or devices!

🌀 4-7-8 BREATHING:

This technique lengthens your exhale to signal “CALM” to your 🧠 and ❤️
▶️Inhale 4 • Hold 7 • Exhale 8 (through pursed lips) ×4 rounds.◀️
Start with 2–4 rounds, then build.
If you feel light-headed, shorten the holds or try 4-4-4-4 (box).
Pregnant or early postpartum? Keep it gentle and skip long holds.

Breathwork is physiology, not fluff 🌬️ Save this post for a mama in need or share with a friend! 💛
