Planning a baby this year? Don’t miss this. 💙

Most people focus on prenatals, ovulation tracking, and cutting out alcohol — all important. But one critical piece is often overlooked: your nervous system.

If your nervous system is stuck in stress mode, your body doesn’t feel safe enough to conceive, sustain pregnancy, or move through labor efficiently. Chronic stress and spinal interference signal “not safe,” making fertility harder and pregnancy more challenging.

Preconception chiropractic care supports nervous system regulation before you conceive, aligns the spine and pelvis to create space for baby, supports hormone regulation, and builds the foundation for a smoother pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

We’ve seen couples conceive after struggling, pregnancies feel completely different, labors progress more smoothly, and postpartum recovery feel more supported — all by starting with the nervous system.

This isn’t just pregnancy prep.
It’s setting your future child up for optimal development from day one.

“When should I get my baby checked?”

As soon as possible.

Your baby’s first year is the most neurologically active time of their entire life. Their brain forms up to 1 million neural connections per second, and their nervous system is learning how to regulate everything — digestion, sleep, immune response, movement, and emotional regulation.

But birth (even the “easy” ones) is incredibly physical. The pressure, pulling, twisting, and compression that occur during delivery can create tension and imbalances in your baby’s delicate spine — especially in the upper neck.

This interference may show up as:

Colic or excessive crying

Difficulty latching or nursing on one side

Torticollis (head tilt or preference)

Reflux and digestive concerns

Sleep struggles

Delays in rolling, crawling, or sitting

When we check babies — even just hours or days old — we’re not “fixing” them. We’re gently removing interference in their nervous system so their body can develop, heal, and grow the way it’s designed to.

Gentle, specific adjustments support:
✨ Clear brain–body communication
✨ More balanced digestion and sleep
✨ Healthy immune system development
✨ Motor skill progression
✨ Emotional regulation

The earlier you support your baby’s nervous system, the stronger their foundation for lifelong health.

Your baby’s nervous system is their lifeline. Supporting it early sets everything else in motion.

Your pregnancy care shouldn’t look the same at 8 weeks as it does at 38 weeks.

Because what your body needs in the first trimester is completely different from what it needs in the third. And your nervous system — the system coordinating every single change happening in your body — needs specific support at every stage.

FIRST TRIMESTER (Weeks 1–13): Adaptation + Regulation

Your body is experiencing a massive hormonal surge. Morning sickness, extreme fatigue, emotional overwhelm — your nervous system is working overtime to adapt to rapid change. Early adjustments support hormone regulation, help reduce nausea signals through vagus nerve function, and allow your body to establish a strong foundation for the months ahead.

SECOND TRIMESTER (Weeks 14–27): Alignment + Space

Baby’s growth accelerates. Your center of gravity shifts forward. Round ligament discomfort often shows up. This is when we focus on pelvic balance (Webster Technique) and spinal support as your curves change. We’re creating optimal space for baby to grow while positioning your body for a more comfortable third trimester and labor.

THIRD TRIMESTER (Weeks 28–40): Positioning + Preparation

Maximum physical change. Sciatica, p***c discomfort, rib pain. Your body is preparing for labor, and baby needs to move into optimal position. Regular adjustments support pelvic alignment, help relieve nerve pressure, encourage optimal positioning, and prepare your nervous system for labor.
Studies show consistent chiropractic care in the third trimester is associated with shorter labor times and fewer interventions.

Your nervous system is coordinating organ shifts, increased blood volume, hormone fluctuations, postural changes, and baby’s development — all at once.

When it’s functioning optimally, pregnancy feels more supported, labor progresses more smoothly, and baby thrives.

You’re not just “carrying a baby.” You’re performing biological miracles every single day. And your nervous system deserves trimester-specific support through it all. 💙

Mamas, we see you. 💙

Up every hour.
Walking the halls at 3am.
Holding your baby upright because laying them down means pain.
Arching backs. Constant spit-up. Inconsolable crying.

You’ve tried everything:
• Reflux meds
• Multiple formulas
• Elevated sleep
• Smaller feeds
• Cutting foods from your diet

And nothing is working.

Because your baby’s reflux isn’t just a stomach issue — it’s a stressed nervous system.

The vagus nerve controls digestion and the valve between the esophagus and stomach. Birth stress (even in “easy” births) can create misalignments at C1/C2 that interfere with this nerve, keeping babies stuck in fight-or-flight.

That can look like:
❌ Poor digestion
❌ Reflux that won’t resolve
❌ Inability to calm or sleep

Your baby isn’t broken.
They don’t need another formula or medication adjustment.

They need their nervous system checked.

Gentle pediatric chiropractic care helps restore proper vagus nerve function so babies can digest, relax, and sleep.

We’ve seen many “reflux babies” improve within 1–3 adjustments — not because we treated reflux, but because we removed the interference preventing their body from functioning optimally.

The crying eases.
The spit-up decreases.
They can finally lay flat.
And you can stop walking the halls at 3am.

Medication masks symptoms. Chiropractic addresses the root cause.

Mama, you’re doing everything right. 💙

January is the perfect time for your family’s first adjustment. 💙

The holidays are over.
The chaos has (mostly) settled.
And before the year picks up speed again, this is the ideal moment to reset and set the foundation for your family’s health in 2026.

Because here’s what your family’s nervous systems just went through:
Late nights. Sugar overload. Travel. Schedule disruptions. More screens. Less sleep. Different food. Holiday stress.

For adults, that can look like exhaustion, brain fog, digestive issues, and tension.
For kids, it often shows up as meltdowns, sleep regression, behavioral challenges, and getting sick more often.

This isn’t “just the holidays.”
It’s nervous system dysregulation.

And January is when we reset.

Why adjustments matter right now:
✨ Release stored holiday stress
✨ Help kids regulate and transition back to routines
✨ Support focus, sleep, and immune function
✨ Start the year regulated instead of already depleted

This isn’t about a “new year, new you.”
It’s about supporting your family’s nervous systems at a critical transition point — so you can thrive, not just survive, in 2026.

We care for whole families, from newborns to grandparents, with nervous system-focused chiropractic care.

The postpartum mental health conversation we’re not having enough 💕

Everyone talks about “baby blues” and postpartum depression as if they’re inevitable parts of motherhood.

But what if much of postpartum mental health is deeply connected to how well your nervous system is functioning—and the best outcomes happen when you support both your mind and your body?

Here’s what’s really happening after birth:

🧠 Hormones + the nervous system
Your nervous system regulates oxytocin, prolactin, and cortisol. When there’s interference, these hormones can struggle to balance—leading to emotional ups and downs.

⚡ Stuck in survival mode
Birth is intense and sleep is scarce. Your nervous system can get locked in fight-or-flight, making it hard to feel calm, safe, or regulated.

😴 Sleep becomes a cycle
Your nervous system controls sleep quality. When it’s overwhelmed, restorative rest feels impossible—and poor sleep directly impacts mood and resilience.

🤰 The gut–brain connection
About 90% of serotonin is made in the gut. When the vagus nerve isn’t communicating well, both digestion and mood can suffer.

When perinatal mental health therapy is combined with nervous system–focused chiropractic care, more optimal postpartum outcomes are possible. Therapy helps process emotions and experiences, while chiropractic care supports the physical foundation that regulates mood, sleep, and stress response.

This integrative approach works because:
✨ Therapy supports the mind
✨ Chiropractic supports the nervous system
✨ Together, they create more sustainable healing

When mamas receive both, they often notice:
💗 Better emotional regulation
💗 Improved sleep (when baby allows!)
💗 Clearer thinking and mood stability
💗 Greater capacity for daily stress

You deserve support for your whole self.
Your postpartum mental health is complex—and it deserves care that honors both your emotional journey and your nervous system. 💕

Not all health goals are created equal. Some your nervous system will support—others it will sabotage. 🌿

Here’s the truth about 2026 goal-setting: you can set any goal you want, but if your nervous system can’t support it, you’re setting yourself up for frustration.

The goals that actually work?
The ones that support nervous system regulation.

5 Health Goals Your Nervous System Will Actually Support:

1. Better Sleep
When you prioritize sleep, your nervous system gets the rest and repair time it desperately needs. Quality sleep = better stress resilience, clearer thinking, improved mood, and sustainable energy.

2. Consistent Movement
Not punishing workouts—movement that feels good. Walking, stretching, dancing, playing with your kids. Movement helps discharge stress and regulate your nervous system naturally.

3. Stress Management
This isn’t “avoid all stress” (impossible). It’s building tools to manage and recover from stress—breathwork, boundaries, nervous system resets, and asking for help.

4. Nourishing Food
Not restrictive diets. Real food that supports your body’s ability to regulate inflammation, blood sugar, and energy. Food as fuel—not punishment or reward.

5. Regular Chiropractic Care
Consistent nervous system support that removes interference, improves communication between the brain and body, and gives you the foundation to actually support goals 1–4.

Notice what’s not on this list?
Extreme diets.
Intense workout programs you’ll hate.
Expensive biohacks.
Unsustainable routines.

Because sustainable health isn’t about doing more. It’s about supporting your nervous system so your body can function the way it’s designed to.

Nearing your due date? 🤍

Your body is incredibly wise—and hormones like oxytocin (aka the love hormone) play a huge role in bonding, calm, and the natural labor process.

In these final weeks, supporting your nervous system and emotional state matters more than ever. Simple things can help encourage oxytocin naturally:
✨ Rest + self-care
✨ Positive touch and connection
✨ Gentle movement
✨ Creativity and joy
✨ Surrounding yourself with encouragement and positivity

When your nervous system feels safe and supported, your body is better able to do what it’s designed to do.

Pregnancy isn’t about forcing anything—it’s about creating the right environment for your body to flow and adapt. We’re here to support moms through every stage. 💙

Vertebrae of the Month: L3 🦴💙

L3 sits in your lower back, just above the hip bones—right where a lot of people feel tension or stiffness build up.

When L3 isn’t moving the way it should (subluxation), it can interfere with the nervous system communication to the lower body. This may show up as:
• Low back stiffness or discomfort
• Knee pain or instability
• Changes in bladder regulation, including bed-wetting in kids

Your nervous system controls how your body moves, adapts, and regulates—so when there’s interference, the effects aren’t always just where you feel it.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper motion and communication so the body can function the way it’s designed to. We don’t chase symptoms—we support the nervous system and let the body do the rest.

✨ Amazing how one small area can have such a big impact.

Imagine your nervous system as a snow globe ❄️✨

When it sits undisturbed for too long, the “snow” settles into stuck patterns—clumped in corners, blocking the view.

This is what happens in the body when there are subluxations and nervous system interference.

A chiropractic adjustment is like gently shaking that snow globe.
But here’s the beautiful part: we can’t control where each snowflake falls—and that’s not our job.

Your INNATE INTELLIGENCE does the reorganizing. The same wisdom that heals cuts, grows babies, and coordinates trillions of functions every single second.

One person’s snow globe may settle with better sleep.
Another’s with improved digestion.
Someone else may feel calmer or notice their child’s behavior begin to regulate.
We don’t chase symptoms.
We trust your body’s wisdom.
We provide the adjustment, and your innate intelligence does the healing.

Every snowflake lands exactly where it needs to be. 🌟

Running on empty? Your nervous system might be stuck in overdrive. ⚡

If you're surviving on coffee, constantly exhausted despite “enough” sleep, crashing hard in the afternoons, or feeling like you have zero capacity for life—you don’t have an energy problem. You have a nervous system problem.

Chronic fatigue isn’t about needing more B vitamins or better time management. It’s about a nervous system that’s been running in overdrive for so long that it’s completely depleted.

When you’re stuck in chronic stress (sympathetic dominance), your body is constantly producing cortisol and adrenaline just to keep you going.
Eventually, that system burns out.
You hit a wall.
And no amount of caffeine or “pushing through” will restore real, sustainable energy.

Here’s what your nervous system needs to produce sustainable energy:
• Clear communication between your brain and body (so resources are allocated properly)
• The ability to shift between stress and rest (instead of being stuck in one mode)
• Quality sleep (when your body actually repairs and recharges)
• Reduced inflammation (chronic inflammation is exhausting)

Chiropractic care supports all of this by helping remove spinal interference that disrupts nerve communication, supporting your nervous system’s ability to regulate stress and recovery, improving sleep quality so you actually recharge overnight, and reducing physical tension that drains your energy reserves.

Real energy isn’t about stimulants.
It’s about a nervous system that functions efficiently.

Tag someone you know who struggles with low energy and might find this helpful.
