Getting chiropractic care during pregnancy is not just for you, it’s for your baby too.

When you are better aligned you not only feel better but you are better able to take care of yourself and your growing baby. Moving, sleeping and staying tuned in to your body all become easier.

Plus, baby will have more space to move into the ideal position for birth, which can make a big difference in labor!

Last, and certainly not least, getting adjusted allows your powerful, brilliant Nervous System to function at its best, which means you are healthier, more adaptable and better equipped to handle the stresses of life as you move through your pregnancy journey. All wonderful things!

If you are curious about how chiropractic can benefit you please reach out. It truly is such a magical time to get adjusted

Introducing cranial adjusting!! Adjusting the cranial bones is something I have been getting more excited about lately & incorporating into almost every patient visit. It is such a powerful, potent tool to release patterns of stress, rebalance the nervous system & support deeper healing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cranial work is a subtle, slow unwinding process that has many profound and long lasting benefits. It effects most of the body’s systems, including the circulatory, immune, lymph, fascial and nervous systems. This work is beneficial for infants, children and adults alike. In fact, a lot of the work I do with babies is centered around the cranials.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To learn more about the many benefits of cranial adjusting check out my latest blog post by visiting my website or sending me a message!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am very excited to now be offering full cranial sessions in the office. These will be 15 minutes long and you can try your first session for only $20! This offer can be done on its own or in conjunction with a regular visit. To find out more or get scheduled please reach out to the office at (619)776-9603.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking forward to seeing where this work takes me and how it can benefit you 😌

Listening instead of searching...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A skill that I am honing right now is how to really “listen” to what your body needs rather than searching for something that needs to be fixed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The difference is this - listening is receptive. Searching is projecting. Listening is more subtle. Searching is more mechanical. Listening is personal, unique to you. Searching is analytical, rigid.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don’t need to be fixed. Your body is intelligent and always moving towards health in the best way it can. My job is not to override your body and fix it. My job is to support your body’s natural process and empower your innate healing potential.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are your own healer. I am merely a facilitator ✨

Some things I have been enjoying lately…

🏃🏻‍♀️ Running - Leading up to the La Jolla Half Marathon I was running several times a week working on my speed & endurance. Even though I wasn’t able to stick to my training schedule as I planned it was still rewarding to feel myself improve over time. The race was fun & I did better than I expected. Long runs by the beach are always the best!

📚 Reading - I joined a book club this year & it has been so much fun! For years I only read personal development books but on my honeymoon last year I decided to read a for-fun book. Since then I have been loving this new hobby! Being in a book club is the perfect way to discover new books & get to unpack them with fresh perspectives.

🎾 Playing tennis - I have been playing tennis with my dad & husband regularly & absolutely loving it! I grew up playing tennis & I always knew I would get back into it when I was ready. Being on the court again has been a breath of fresh air. I didn’t realize how much I missed it!

💫 New energy in the office!! It is still a work in progress but I have been feeling an urge to rearrange the space & open it up, so we went for it! I have been going to some really expansive seminars the past few months yet finding it difficult to integrate what I’m learning into daily practice. Part of that reason was because the office was holding the same energy even though my energy has been gradually shifting. The new arrangement in the office encourages new perspectives & new possibilities! I am still figuring out the flow of it but taking the leap to change things up has been exciting & inspiring 🤸🏻‍♀️

💗 I just wanted to share some of what has been working well in my life lately. With May coming to an end in a few days it’s a good time to reflect on what’s working well, what you’re happy/satisfied with, and what could use some tweaking or improving.

I would love to know what’s going well for you so far this year! Feel free to let me know in the comments or message me privately 🤗

Prenatal care addresses mama’s whole body, head to toe.

Why? Because it’s all connected and we want your entire system to be functioning optimally for you & your baby!

I use a specific technique called the Webster Technique that focuses on certain muscles, ligaments and joints in the pelvic area to ensure your pelvis is as balanced & open as possible. This helps with issues such as sciatica, p***c symphysis pain, round ligament tension, lower back pain, hip pain and more. Plus, having the pelvis in proper alignment gives baby the space he needs to move around & get into the best positions before & during labor!

But don’t worry, prenatal care doesn’t stop with the pelvis. Adjusting the rest of the spine, including the neck, upper back and the cranial bones, helps keep mama feeling loose, comfortable & aligned throughout her pregnancy journey.

I have noticed that previous injuries or areas of tension often get exacerbated during pregnancy. Regular chiropractic care can help your body adapt to these irritations with more ease.

I truly believe that pregnancy is one of the most important time to be under regular chiropractic care!

If you are hesitant or have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out 😊

Helping women feel more comfortable in their bodies during the wild ride of pregnancy is such a joy. SO much change is happening during this time & the journey looks different for everyone. My job is to simply support each unique body in being as adaptable & resilient as possible. 🤰🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I truly believe that our bodies are intelligently designed & have wisdom beyond what our minds can comprehend. My approach when working with a pregnant mom is not to find what’s wrong and “fix it”because there is nothing wrong with her! My goal is to help her understand what her body might be trying to tell her, and support her to ride the waves with more ease 🌊

Have you had your spine checked by a chiropractor recently?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we move through our lives we acquire STRESS which can cause misalignments & tension in our spines. This leads to restricted movement in our joints and, more importantly, can interfere with the flow of information through our spinal cords. This means there is a disruption in the communication between the brain and the body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This results in a limited ability to adapt, respond and heal. We are more likely to get sick, injured or stuck in our old patterns & behaviors. Essentially, we are limited.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we are in this state, the stress of life feel more burdensome. We feel less able to handle it all. Our systems are already almost at capacity and navigating life feels more difficult than it needs to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic helps clear the stuck-ness from your system and gives your body back its power to clearly express its healing potential 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting adjusted regularly makes you well equipped to handle the stress of life so you can keep moving forward towards greater levels of health & vitality. 🤸🏻‍♀️

Roman getting his first chiropractic adjustment at 4 days old 🥰

With little ones like this I mainly check the…
👉🏼 cranial bones for tension or restricted movement
👉🏼 palate to help improve their ability to latch & feed
👉🏼 upper neck for misalignment that may be causing nerve dysfunction
👉🏼 spine for any spinal cord tension

An adjustment at this age is super gentle & easeful, and a great way to help them adapt to their new experience of being in the world 🌎

I had the honor & privilege of supporting this incredible woman through her birthing journey last weekend and let me just say…. WOW 😮
Steph, I could not be more proud of you & the way you navigated every twist & turn with grace. I am amazed at the way you were able to hold strong when need be but also be flexible when it felt right to do so. You held the vision of what you were working towards and were willing to surrender to the needs of the moment, honoring yourself and your baby through it all.

Being there the moment Roman made it safely Earth-side was truly indescribable & deeply touching. I am in awe of what the human body can do & how powerful we are deep down.
I have been supporting women during their pregnancies since I first became a chiropractor over 7 years ago, and my love for working with pregnant women has continued to grow as I learn more about aaaaalllll of the changes the body goes through and the freaking MIRACLE that is childbirth.
I feel a new level of excitement, passion & ability to serve women throughout their pregnancy journey. Pregnancy & birth are totally unpredictable, but I know without a doubt 2 things…
#1. Your body knows what to do. You are designed for this.
#2. Having support is crucial. You are not expected to do it alone. Having a team & a community around you is a game changer.
HUGE shoutout to all the mamas out there!! Bless you for being a woman & doing what you do. And sending all the love to the pregnant mamas out there!! You got this, you are a miracle, you are a badass, don’t doubt yourself!
Chiropractic helps with a million things during pregnancy, from sciatica to baby positioning to overall nervous system functioning, so if you want to learn more please reach out 🤰🏻🙌🏼
Steph, thank you again for allowing me to be a part of this beautiful experience. I love & appreciate you!

My 5 Top Travel Tips to Stay Regulated ✈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My husband & I recently went to Chiang Mai, Thailand and had a blast! Travel is so fun & expansive, and at the same time it can be very deregulating.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The actual travel itself can be taxing on the body. Physically being confined to a seat for a prolonged amount of time has consequences, as does the mental/emotional stress of getting from one place to another as smoothly as possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then once you get to where you’re going there is all the excitement of exploration alongside the potential stressors of navigating a new place.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coming from a regulated state allows you to be more adaptable in the face of stress, physical, mental & emotional.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My 5 top travel tips to stay regulated are...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Touch the Earth ASAP
2) Hydrate with Electrolytes
3) Have Your Self Care Practices Handy
4) Recognize Your Needs
5) Be Present!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To learn more about each of these check out my latest blog post or shoot me your email to receive my monthly newsletter

Let’s talk about the connection between the JAW & the PELVIC FLOOR...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First - this started out as a post about how chiropractic can help with jaw pain, so let me just get that out of the way and say that I provide muscle work and gentle adjustments to help relieve jaw tightness and misalignment. Now, to learn about the potential ripple effects of this work, keep reading.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many people experience pain, tightness and dysfunction in their jaw due to clenching. This can lead to neck pain, upper back pain, tension headaches and even hip tightness or PELVIC PAIN...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wait, what..?! The jaw effects the pelvis...?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yep! It sure does.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have connective tissue, called fascia, that covers all of our internal muscles & organs to keep us together. This fascia runs through out bodies in patterns, creating intimate relationships between different areas of our bodies. Two of these lines connect the jaw to the pelvis so that they greatly impact one another.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tightness in the jaw is often mirrored in the pelvic floor, and visa versa. In one study participants were shown to have significantly improved hip mobility after receiving hands-on work for the jaw.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many doulas and midwives will encourage birthing mothers to relax their jaw, open their mouths, hum and sign to relax their pelvic floor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The bottom line is that jaw dysfunction may have a greater impact on your body than you realize. To read my entire blog post about this please visit my website at awakenchiro.com 🦒

Hi there! I am Dr Maddie, a family chiropractor in La Jolla Village. I work with people of all ages & stages. I specialize in pediatric and prenatal care but I whole-heartedly believe that everyone with a spine can benefit from chiropractic care.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I fell in love with chiropractic because of the philosophy that that the human body is a powerful self-healing, self-regulating organism and that we are designed to be healthy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was drawn to the salutogenic model of health, which is the study of what causes health, rather the allopathic model which studies the causes of illness. It just makes so much sense to me that when the body is provided with all of the necessary resources, attention & care, and taken care of BEFORE there is a major issue, not only after, that the result would be vitality, abundant health & well being.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I aim to help my practice members feel more connected to their bodies and more adaptable in the face of stress. This goes from babies to kiddos to teens, adults and beyond!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healing happens at every stage of life, so chiropractic should too 🤗

🦒
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are curious about chiropractic care for you or a loved one I am happy to chat and see how I can support you.

I love working with babies because of the ripple effect I know our work will have on the rest of their lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic can aid with a huge array of issues & creates a strong foundation of health to help them thrive 🙌🏼

01/24/2024

When I tell people that they have one leg that is longer than the other I typically get one of two responses...

Either, “WHAT?! No way! THAT’S CRAZY!”,

or, “That makes so much sense....”

Whether or not you have had an inkling that one leg feels longer than the other, I always reassure my practice members that is it totally common, and most likely due to the pelvis being out of alignment, not actual difference bone length.

By correcting misalignments in the pelvis & spine and doing some muscle work, if needed, we are able to get your body balanced & your legs even!

The physical stress we put on our bodies day in and day out create imbalances in our systems. Activities that can cause imbalances in the pelvis include...
- Sitting with one leg crossed over the other
- Driving
- Golfing
- Soccer or any kicking sport
- Tight hip flexors
- Improper form weight training
- Injury to your low back
- A foot or knee injury
- etc..

By getting regular chiropractic care you are able to address these imbalances before they create lasting issues.

Chiropractic is not just for alleviating pain, but for preventing problems from occurring & optimizing your health overall 🕺🏻

Wow. This weekend was full to the brim of new tools & techniques to bring back to the office. My head is swimming with all information we learned!
This seminar was focused on working with the cranial bones of infants but in reality we were taught a huge array of adjustments that can benefit anyone with stress in their system.
I always leave a seminar feeling invigorated, exhausted & a little shaken up. This is the result of feeling the frustration of being a beginner again combined with the inspiration of imagining what’s possible when I continue to hone my skills.
More ways to help people heal. More ways to work with people on a deeper level. More ways to tune in and understand what their system needs.
I am so excited to incorporate what I’ve learned into the care I provide. It just keeps getting better 🙌🏼

I get asked every once and a while if chiropractors are "real doctors". And the answer is yes we are. We go through a doctorate program and get our doctorate degrees.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I understand the confusion. When you think of a doctor you probably think of a medical doctor, a MD. You think of being sick or injured and needing medications, a procedure or the dreaded "further testing".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractors are different. We are not the people you come to when you want a diagnosis. We're not the ones that give you meds or refer you to surgery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic is a Salutogenic model of health, not an allopathic model. The allopathic model focuses on illness and what's wrong with the person. The goal is to find a treatment or procedure that will address the disease or symptom and defeat it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Salutogenesis is an approach to health that focuses on what makes a person healthy, rather than what makes them ill. It emphasizes the behaviors, lifestyle factors and choices that allow for greater levels of vitality, adaptability and resilience in order to preserve and optimize health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a chiropractor my focus is not on trying to fix you or "battle" your symptoms. My goal is to work WITH your body to create more harmony and adaptability, supporting your body to heal from within.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this confuses you in any way, please reach out! I would love to chat about these different approaches to health and how chiropractic can support you wherever you are on your healing journey.

This month's blog post is called "How Chiropractic Adjustments Improve Body Function"

I usually write my own blog posts but I can't take credit for this one. I read this article in the Pathways to Family Wellness magazine and was so impressed by the clear & concise way that Peter Kevorkian, D.C. explains how chiropractic works that I had to share it!

At the end I share that chiropractic is complex but not complicated...

It is complex because each individual has their own dynamic stressors & patterns & ever-evolving adaptations that they are working with, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to chiropractic care.

But it is simple in that the scientific principles and the overarching philosophy are basic, easy to understand concepts. That is just one of the reasons chiropractic is so powerful & unique!

Taking a quick break from chiropractic content to share some personal moments from November. 🍁

A few of the highlights include a trip to the zoo with my husband & his family, spending time with my precious niece, Opal, and attending a really inspiring chiropractic seminar in Denver. 🦒

& of course a beautiful sunset or two 🌅

I’m feeling grateful for all of the wonderful experiences these past few weeks have brought me. Also, reminding myself to open my heart to all of the goodness in my life now, and be patient with what is unfolding ❤️

I hope you all have had a lovely November.

Happy birthday to Kūlia! 🥳🎂💃🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have been to Awaken Family Chiropractic in the past year or so you have probably experienced how thoughtful, helpful & wonderful Kūlia is. She has those chill island vibes combined with her fun-loving Sagittarius sass which brings a whole new energy to the office. 🏝♐️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Cheers to you, Kūlia! I hope you enjoy your special Dutch cheese & nice Chardonnay today 🥂

Then you would benefit from this shoulder reset!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

People think they come to see me because they want to get out of pain, but that's not the real reason.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pain is just that, a pain. Physical pain alone is not what motivates people to spend their time & money on chiropractic care.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The truth is that people come to see me so that they can get their life back. So that they can do the things they need to do, the things they want to do, in order to live a happy & fulfilling life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So they can focus at work.
So they don't have to lie down in the middle of the day with a headache.
So they can lift their baby out of the crib.
So they can play with their kids.
So they can run, weight train, zumba or play pickleball again.
So they can get a good nights sleep and feel rested.
So they can stand at a concert.
So they can have a social life.
So they can be present without pain stealing their attention.
So they can be more patient.
So they can feel comfortable being in their own body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pain detracts from our ability to fully experience life. If you are ready to get your life back don't hesitate to reach out ❣️

Health Highlight - Spinal Twists!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I find that many people have limited mobility in their spine, especially when it comes to twisting and side bending. (We will touch on side bending another time.) As for twisting...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are many awesome benefits, such as:
👉🏼 Stimulates circulation throughout the body
👉🏼 Restores your spine's natural range of motion
👉🏼 Cleanses your internal organs by compressing them
👉🏼 Stimulates digestion and metabolism
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe through to see 3 spinal twists variations you can try!

11/08/2023

Do you feel like you are a "go-go-go" kind of person? Running from one thing to the next all day long? Feeling the need to get it all done before you can rest?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Living in this state of nonstop foot-on-the-gas keeps our nervous systems in chronic fight or flight mode.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we get stuck in fight or flight we may experience:
- Anxiety
- Restlessness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Poor digestion
- Muscle tension
- Headaches
- Jaw tightness
- Irritability
& more
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Regular chiropractic care is an incredible way to balance out not just your body, but your LIFE. It does this in 3 ways:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) When you are in the office you are forced to step away from your to-do list and take a break. You are given a chance to be present in your body, to breathe deeply, to lay down and relax.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) A chiropractic adjustment works to regulate the nervous system, which in this case would mean brining more calm and restoration to your system.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Chiropractic care helps ease the symptoms of fast-paced-living by relieving tension and realigning the spine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are constantly on the go I encourage you to make chiropractic care a part of your regular wellness routine. 🏃🏻‍♂️

11/06/2023

The first step in an adjustment is to tune in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I tune in to your system through my ears listening to your words, my eyes observing your body and my hands feeling what I feel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I notice the tone & the tightness of the tissue. I notice the movement or restriction of the joints.I notice the openness or contraction of the whole.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I take all this information and make the adjustment that I believe will best support you in that moment. Then I notice what I notice again and go from there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our work together is dynamic, interactive & continually evolving 💛

11/03/2023

Your spine, your mind, your tissues, your issues. They are all connected.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We hold stress in our bodies just as much as our minds. Our emotions shape our experiences & how we feel in our body. And how we feel in our body effects our emotions & experiences.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can’t be whole, healthy, happy beings without addressing all aspects of us. My role is to support your nervous system in being able to regulate itself and be an asset to your health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I help people feel more at home in their bodies, which opens them up to more clarity, more connection & a better ability to fully embrace this human experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healing is multi-faceted & often non-linear. But it is rewarding & worth it. 🌻

11/01/2023

Today is Stress Awareness Day. I think it is safe to say that we all struggle with the effects of stress on our lives from time to time. I know I do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I like to remind myself that our nervous systems were not designed to take in such an enormous amount of information on a daily basis. Needing to rest or take a step back from the to-do list is natural and healthy (even though it can be hard at times).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dealing with anxiety and depression can be complex, but one thing I know for sure is that the state of your nervous system has a dramatic effect on your mental health. The more regulated you are on a nervous system level the better equipped you will be to navigate your emotions and find the way through your current experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please know that there is support out there no matter what you are going through. Practices like meditation, journaling, breathwork, dancing and movement are all helpful and accessible tools for handling stress & processing tough emotions. Caring for your body with chiropractic care can help too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When the world feels like too much, don't forget to make yourself a priority & find ways to get the support you need 💛

Chiropractic during pregnancy is magic 🤌🏼✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is truly one of the best time to get chiropractic care. Your body is growing, changing & adapting non-stop. You are transitioning into a new version of you, entering a new chapter of your life. 🤰🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic adjustments during this time are safe & effective. They help keep body balanced, ease the pain & discomfort of pregnancy & ensure that the pelvis is in the best position possible for baby to enter the world 🌎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you are dealing with unwanted symptoms, like back pain or sciatica, or you just want support to be as healthy as possible during your pregnancy & beyond, chiropractic care is the perfect tool for enhancing your experience. 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely LOVE working with pregnant moms, so please reach out if you want to chat or schedule an appointment 💕

10/20/2023

As a chiropractor I know that YOU heal you, not me. I empower your body, I remove interferences, I reconnect the brain & the body so that your system is more attuned to itself. But, I do NOT do the healing. That's all you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your body takes the adjustment and integrates it in a way that is best for you. Your body responds to the changes and adapts in a way that heals you. It is YOUR innate intelligence that knows exactly what to do with the work we do together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The adjustment is the catalyst but YOU ARE THE HEALER 🙌🏻

Giving Yourself Time Is Self Care ✨ The purpose of self care is to preserve your well being & allow yourself to feel how you want to feel. For me that means grounded, calm, light, happy, joyful, abundant and peaceful. ✨ Now I love doing my self care rituals - mediation, journaling, exercising, baths, etc - but I have recently realized that in order to really preserve my energy and feel good throughout the day what I need to give myself more of it TIME, especially having to do with my schedule. ✨ I am frequently on the go and have commitments that are stacked back to back. I tend to book my schedule and leave no space for me to BREATHE or just be. ✨ This creates a constant feeling of rushing and being behind, ultimately causing stress. Then I feel frustrated and guilty that I don’t feel good. So what’s the solution? ✨ 👉🏼Spread out my schedule, give myself more time than I think to get from one place to another. Check traffic before I leave. 👉🏼Be realistic about how much I can squeeze into a day. 👉🏼Say “no” more often. 👉🏼Purposefully leave gaps in my day where I can do what I want, or re-ground into how I want to feel if I’ve strayed. 👉🏼Plan to do things that help me feel good, like go for a walk, read or eat lunch by the ocean, and stay committed to those plans 👉🏼Remind myself that it’s all good and doesn’t really matter in the long run so I can RELAX!
