How to Wear Your Baby Carrier (the right way)
Babywearing is amazing—when it’s done safely and comfortably for both of you. Here’s a quick breakdown:

✅ For YOU (the wearer):
• Waistband: Wear it low on your hips, over your SI joints—not your lower back. Too high = more spinal pressure and pain.
• Straps: Cross-back straps should sit wide on the shoulders. If they’re too tight or high, they can strain your neck, shoulders, and clavicles.

✅ For BABY:
• Aim for the “M” or froggy position
• Legs spread wide, hips and knees gently bent
This supports healthy hip development and helps prevent hip dysplasia. Avoid carriers where legs dangle straight down.

My go-to carrier: Gemini—ergonomic, supportive, and makes proper positioning easy.

Quick tip: Adjust your carrier every time you put it on. Small tweaks = way more comfort.

You may be surprised to learn, that as a chiropractor, I actually support chemotherapy. And this is the reason why: my mom. I share a bit of my story in the video where you can learn my perspective more.

This is not medical advice, this is my families personal story. Make sure to speak to your doctor about your appropriate care plan.

As children grow, their bodies go through numerous changes that can lead to physical discomfort or health issues. Our pediatric chiropractic care helps address these issues before they turn into long-term concerns. Kids are active, and with frequent falls, injuries, and growth spurts, chiropractic care can support proper alignment, prevent injury, and optimize overall health.

Conditions that benefit from pediatric chiropractic care include:
* Falls and bumps from everyday activities or sports
* Growth spurts causing aches, pains, or postural imbalances
* Repetitive stress injuries (from activities like soccer, dance, gymnastics, etc.)
* Chronic ear infections
* Sleep difficulties or bedtime resistance
* Learning difficulties or attention issues (e.g., ADHD)
* Headaches or tension headaches
* Pain following orthodontic or dental work
* Digestive issues (e.g., constipation, stomach aches)
* Sensory integration disorders or challenges with motor coordination
* Failure to thrive or difficulty gaining weight

Chiropractic adjustments and craniosacral therapy can help restore balance in the nervous system, improve immune function, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being.

Helping moms have a redemptive experience after their first birth didn’t go exactly how they had hoped is one of the biggest reasons I do what I do.

We’re so grateful for our patients trusting us during their pregnancy journey and postpartum 🤍

This mama ended up having a successful ECV and had the birth she had hoped for, we’re so happy for her!

If your goal is to feel your best this year, functional medicine could be your answer.
Functional medicine is different because our goal is to address underlying factors rather than just treating symptoms so you can restore balance, improve vitality, and optimize your well-being.

If you’ve been feeling “off” but have been told countless times that “everything looks normal,” we’re here for you.

Constant fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, hormonal imbalances, weight challenges - they aren’t just “normal” thing you have to live with forever.

If you’re ready to identity what’s truly affecting your health and vitality, book an appointment today! In-person AND virtual appointments are available. Head to the link in our bio to book an appointment.

This sweet 12-day-old baby came in for newborn care and showed more restriction into her right side, which meant the left side of her neck was a bit tighter.

The beautiful thing about working with babies is that they aren’t attached to their restrictions the way adults often are. Their nervous systems are adaptable, intuitive, and incredibly responsive. With gentle guidance, we can help support extra mobility and ease in those restricted areas.

Babies truly have wisdom . Their bodies know how to find balance when given the right support.
Early, gentle care can make a world of difference in comfort, movement, and development 🤍

Lower back pain isn’t always “just back pain.”

One of the biggest things we look for is whether pain radiates down the leg. When it does, it often means a disc is involved.

Here’s a simple breakdown:
• Disc bulge: the disc pushes backward and can irritate nerves
• Disc herniation: the inner disc material presses directly on a nerve
• Both can cause pain — especially in hypermobile bodies

True disc-related pain often:
✔ Starts midline or just off midline
✔ Can send pain down the back of the leg (sciatic nerve)
✔ Gets worse with instability in the low back or pelvis

Many people think they have sciatica — but the source is usually the lumbar spine.
An MRI can confirm disc involvement, and stabilization (like bracing) can help calm irritation, reduce strain, and allow muscles to relax.

If your back pain is radiating, it’s worth getting it checked. Your body is always trying to protect itself — we just need to support it properly.
