Whatever you are going through today or in this moment, you are not alone. It can be so easy for mothers to fall into an isolated experience, believing that we’re the only ones feeling like we do. When in reality, none of us are immune to the difficulties of motherhood, or the reality of anxiety and depression.

The news of a mother taking her own life or the lives of her children hits way too close to home. Imagining the gut punch of the searing pain of loss. The soul aching of wondering why. Or how.

And yet, we can imagine the point at which a mother could break. We have all felt it. Blinding rage or that familiar pit of hollow helplessness. In the best of circumstances, motherhood is the most stressful, all-consuming calling. Mothers are tasked with the impossible and yet mothers can only handle so much. Mothers are built to be strong, but we are not unbreakable. We are human. We are finite. And our minds are just as powerful as any other part of us.

Please, dear friends, if you are in crisis today, reach out. Seek help. Send us a message and we will send you resources. No judgment, just gratitude to help. Maybe you haven’t been in a situational crisis but you reached your breaking point today. One final thing in your day went wrong and you’re struggling to find the strength to take one step forward. Another child got sick. An unexpected bill arrived. Stress at work mounts. Another piece of bad news arrived. A diagnosis rocked your world.

Depression and anxiety are real. Infinitely more real in motherhood. We must stop insisting mothers bury it but rather expose it. You are not required to carry your burden alone.

Your life is beyond worth it. Your children’s lives, too.

Our Story

Let me introduce myself. Growing up, I always assumed I would be a doctor. As I started to work towards that goal in undergrad, I found myself distracted and not in love with what I was learning practicing medicine to be. I didn’t want to just give drugs and mask conditions. I left undergrad and immersed myself in the world of “Alternative” medicine. I became a massage therapist and studied energy healing. As I practiced as a massage therapist I started to feel called to work with pregnant women. I obtained my certification in prenatal massage in 2002 and have never looked back, I found my passion. Working with women, specifically during pregnancy but through all of life. During my years as a massage therapist I began getting asked to attend births as a doula and decided to also obtain my certification for that. I took my training through DONA and loved attending births. Then I came to a realization, this work was exhausting and I was young. I couldn’t see doing this as a career for the next 45 years. It was around this time that I met a brother and sister team of chiropractors. What I learned from them and experienced under their care changed my life. I had found the type of doctor that I really wanted to be. I had found a way to care for people that addressed the underlying causes of their symptoms and could make real changes rather than just using band-aids and medications. I immediately enrolled in Logan College of Chiropractic for the next leg of my journey. While I was at Logan two things happened that were key in my development as a doctor. The first thing was meeting an amazing OB/Gyn who helped me to connect my passion for women’s healthcare to my education as a chiropractor. The second was that I got sick, and what I had was not readily treatable by natural means. I was surrounded by natural providers, but none of their answers could solve my problem, and they were all so insistent that I manage things naturally. In the end, I needed surgery and it truly saved my life. What I learned was that there is a very delicate balance between allopathic and natural healing methods. Both have a lot to offer, true wisdom lies in knowing when each is needed. After several years as a chiropractor in a large practice in St. Peters I saw the opportunity for my dream job. The OB who had nurtured my passion was practicing in an office that was offering more and more services and had just added a Family Medicine doctor who was practicing internal medicine. I thought to myself, the only thing that is missing is me. So now I get to practice in an OB/Gyn office where I can work as part of a team helping women be as healthy as possible. I love that I am able to offer chiropractic and acupuncture, but I also love that I have a fabulous team that I trust to care for the same patients from a medical model. We are not in competition, but a team all working for the well-being of our patients.
