RE-PAVING PROJECT STARTS TOMORROW!!

Hello! We are repaving our driveway and parking lot starting tomorrow (9/11).

For Thursday clients, please be aware you may not be able to enter our lot from the front access driveway. You can still access our lot from the back alley off of Fern avenue. We will have limited spaces on the lot. Please use the back stone portion of our lot, or consider parking out front of our building on New Holland Road in front of our neighboring car lot. You can also park across the street on Park Avenue.

We will try to reach out to our clients via phone or message prior to their appointments for tomorrow.

Our gracious neighbors have agreed to allow our clients to use the front of their a lot as needed during repaving.

Thank you for your understanding!

Movement and exercise in pregnancy is so important! Not only does it help decrease the risk of developing high blood pressure and diabetes, it also helps alleviate symptoms from varicose veins and swelling, helps to regulate your insulin thus lowering your blood sugar, helps you to sleep better at night, and of course helps to make an easier labor and birth.

See below for the other things that movement and pregnancy can do for your unborn baby!

Prenatal movement isn’t just for your comfort — it’s stimulation for your baby’s developing nervous system.

From balance to coordination to regulation, these early sensory experiences shape how your baby adapts after birth.

We survived August! Thank you to our clients for being understanding during this time of transition with our midwifery team!! We truly appreciate you!

We were able to make some time to spruce things up a bit around the center. We hope you like it!

Lucy keeps all of our plants and flowers looking beautiful…. She definitely has a greener thumb than me!

Next Thursday and Friday (9/11-9/12) we will be resurfacing our driveway and parking lot, so if you have an appointment or come to center in labor we will be sure to update you on parking and entrance logistics.

Thanks again!

We ask your patience and understanding in August and September as Tammy and Lucy will be the only midwives staffing our center. We are sad to see Stephanie leave but also understand life happens….

Lucky for us, one of our amazing former students will be moving to PA and joining our midwife team in October!! Looking forward to Vanessa officially joining our team of dedicated midwives!

Jodie- our wonderful childbirth educator and birth assistant will be joining our team as an RN in September. She has been working hard for several years to make this transition. Strong work Jodie!

Help us wish Good Luck to Casey as she spreads her wings!

Casey has been accepted for a nurse externship program at St. Joseph Penn State Hospital for this summer.

We will surely miss Casey welcoming our families into our center as today is officially her last day.
(Luckily for us she will still do some per diem stuff for us)

Good luck and congratulations Casey! You are going to do amazing things!!

Breastfeeding is more than nutrition—it's neurodevelopment in action. 🧠✨

Did you know that those precious feeding moments are literally wiring your baby's brain for life? From the oxytocin released during eye contact to the neural mapping that occurs with each suckling pattern, nature designed this beautiful connection for optimal brain development.

As a brain-based family chiropractor, I'm fascinated by how early nervous system patterns set the foundation for lifelong health. Breastfeeding challenges often have neurological components that gentle adjustments can help address.

Struggling with latch issues, head preference, or reflux? These could be signs of nervous system interference that pediatric chiropractic care might help resolve naturally.

Link in bio to book your free infant consultation. Let's support your breastfeeding journey and your baby's developing nervous system together.
