As parents, we deserve real answers. We deserve the truth so we can make informed choices for our families. We have a right to know what’s making our kids sick.

If you’ve ever wondered the same, I invite you to watch the documentary An Inconvenient Study.

Fair warning—you might walk away angry.

Loved spending time with these inspiring women at Lokahi last night. It truly takes a village, and families in San Jose are lucky to have such a strong team of perinatal providers in their corner ❤️

Just got a text from a mama who almost had her baby in the car because labor went THAT fast 🙌🏼

Her first birth was the opposite—water broke, induction with misoprostol and pitocin, epidural, 5 hours of pushing, and a vacuum assistance after being labeled “failure to progress.”

This time? No stall, no induction, no marathon pushing. Her body moved the way it was meant to.

The difference? Consistent chiropractic care to balance the pelvis, support nervous system function, and help baby find the best position.

When the body is aligned, birth doesn’t have to be traumatic—it can be quick, instinctive, and on your own terms.

Every milestone matters — and when and how they’re met matters too. ✨ Rolling before sitting, crawling before walking… these aren’t random. They’re part of a beautifully designed neurological sequence that builds the foundation for balance, coordination, learning, behavior, and emotional regulation.

When milestones are skipped or delayed, it may be a sign that the nervous system isn’t firing on all cylinders. 👶⚡️

That’s where chiropractic comes in.

By improving the way the brain and body communicate, we help kids hit their milestones with more ease, confidence, and on schedule. Because a strong foundation in the early years = a thriving child later on. 🧠💪

Don’t overcomplicate health. The basics done consistently make the biggest impact:

✅ Eat clean most of the time
✅ Move daily
✅ Eliminate toxins
✅ Stay hydrated
✅ Soak up sunshine
✅ Keep your spine + nervous system clear
✅ Laugh, love & truly live ✨

Simple. Powerful. Life-changing. 💫

It’s difficult to find the right words after such a heavy week.

Regardless of where we stand politically, I hope that we can all agree that the cold-blooded murder of this man was a heartbreaking and horrific tragedy. No one should ever face violence simply for speaking up for what they believe in.

Rest in peace Charlie ❤️

Your baby’s spine does more than support their little body — it’s an essential part of their nervous system.

Each small vertebra helps protect the delicate nerve pathways that carry messages from the brain to every muscle, organ, and tissue. When those pathways stay clear, your baby’s body can grow, regulate, and heal just the way it was designed to.

Breaking the cycle starts with daily choices.

Chiropractic care helps keep the nervous system clear so the body can adapt and heal the way it was designed to.

Pair that with whole, organic, nutrient-dense foods and consistent movement, and you’ve laid the foundation for lasting wellness.

These small daily habits don’t just benefit you—they shape the health of your entire family for years to come.

🌟 Parents often ask: “Why would I take my healthy child to a chiropractor?”

The answer is simple → it’s not just about fixing problems, it’s about supporting your child’s growth and development.

Research shows chiropractic care can help kids by:
🧠 Promoting healthy brain + nerve development (neuroplasticity)
🛡️ Supporting a stronger immune system
🤱 Improving breastfeeding outcomes
🍎 Helping digestion
⚡ Decreasing risk of injuries

In this post, I’ve highlighted one study for each benefit — but there are many more that back these up. 📚✨

Chiropractic care gives your child’s body every opportunity to grow, adapt, and thrive naturally.

✨ Did you know? Research shows that 99% of babies are born with some level of structural compromise that has the potential to impact neurologic function✨

Birth is beautiful, but it’s also physically stressful on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system. Because of this fact, I tell my mamas to get their babies checked within the first two weeks, even in the most perfect birth circumstances. This way, we can make sure that babies start off life without neurological stress that may impact their entire lives.

Chiropractic care gently restores balance and ease to your baby’s nervous system, helping them grow, heal, and thrive the way they were designed to. 💛

Healthy nervous system → healthier child → healthier future. 🌱

Power. Passage. Passenger. 💥🌀👶

When your nervous system (power) is clear, your pelvis (passage) is balanced, and baby (passenger) is well-positioned—birth can unfold with greater ease, just as nature intended. Chiropractic care supports all three.

Let’s work with the body, not against it. 💫

Round ligament pain is one of those “fun” surprises of pregnancy 🤰—sharp, sudden, and often catching you off guard when you roll over, stand up, or sneeze just a little too hard.

These important ligaments support your growing uterus, but as your baby bump expands, they can become overstretched and irritated—leading to discomfort that ranges from annoying to ouch.

Chiropractic care, especially with a Webster-certified provider, can help ease tension in the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues, making more room for baby and less pain for you. ✨

If you’re expecting and experiencing round ligament pain, let’s talk about gentle, effective support for your changing body.
