🌈Happy Pride! 🌈
My office is and always will be a safe place where ALL are welcome, heard, celebrated, healed, and honored.
I just had to get a pic with these two cuties, all of us sporting our rainbows 🌈 I’m so lucky to get to do this work.

This is my new favorite picture ever. 😍
I think you can see how much we both love this work!
Better nervous system regulation through chiropractic care helps babies do the work of growing - eat 🍼🤱🏻, sleep 😴 , and 💩- easier and more efficiently. And who doesn’t want that?

I love my job! I got to spend the morning yesterday with these sweet babes and their awesome mom. All three of them have been working hard to overcome being born a bit earlier than usual, and chiropractic care has been HUGE in helping alleviate their reflux, feeding and latch difficulties, and has helped all around to regulate their nervous systems so they can continue to grow!
Shout out to moms of twins - just holding them for this picture was hard 🤣

Woke up to wonderful news this morning - NEW BABY!!!! By far my favorite reason a patient cancels their appointment!
Congrats to the happy new parents!!

Spent my morning doing one of my favorite parts of my job - visiting a brand new baby and helping her release all the tension built up from labor and delivery. This little one had a particularly hard birth, but she was so much more relaxed and comfortable by the time I left.
I am forever grateful to get to serve the families in my practice in this way. Helping babies and families have the easiest start to life possible is an honor that I never take for granted.

Had a mama come in yesterday for her regular adjustment. When she left I told her we weren’t making a follow-up because I’d be surprised if she was still pregnant by Monday. I also really felt like she was already in labor, but didn’t want to jinx it 😬😬😬😬
Got a text this morning that said “you were right!” And a pic of new baby girl! 👶🏼🎀
My gut is almost always right! 🥰
Congrats mama! 💕💕💕

I couldn’t say it better, so I’m simply going to share Dr French’s post.

There will never be a day when my heart doesn’t ache for the little life that never got to grow.

AND…

I am always thankful for my rainbow.

I will never forget the deep ache of that in between time, and if that is where you are now, I’m sending you so much love.

My morning was full of babies, but they all had different challenges.
- skin rashes with the introduction to food, so we talked about changing the diet and adding probiotics.
- a little guy who wasn’t eating hardly at all, who started eating normally after his first adjustment!
- a baby doing the one knee, one foot crawl. Pelvic adjustment and muscle release had her crawling better. There’s still work to do, but I love knowing that chiropractic is helping her have better body mechanics.
- a toddler with a sprained ankle, who didn’t want to let me adjust her, but after I did said “thank you for help me better!” And melted my heart.

I love my job! How can I help your little one (or you!) feel better?

(I, per usual, took zero pictures of any of this.)

Spending my time these days researching how the presence or lack of feelings of safety during pregnancy and labor effects the early bonding between baby and parent, and baby’s future ability to regulate their nervous system.
How have you experienced this in your own parenting journey? And what would have helped you feel safer during pregnancy and birth? Environmental changes? Support people? Social supports?
Talk to me! Help me with my newest project!
