What does a newborn adjustment look like?
Cooing, smiling, breastfeeding breaks, and sometimes a p**p 💩
Not twisting, cracking, or popping.

Just gentle, specific nervous-system support to help babies eat, sleep, digest, and grow with more comfort.

Signs your baby may benefit:
• Hard or traumatic birth
• Latch/breastfeeding issues
• Reflux, gas, constipation
• Always stiff or tense
• Arching a lot
• Prefers one side / flat spots
• Fussy or hard to calm
• Slow or uncomfortable milestones

Parents often tell me these visits feel so much calmer and less invasive than standard checkups — and they finally feel heard.

Your baby was created to thrive.
We just help remove what’s in the way. 🌿

Birth is beautiful… but it’s also intense — not just for mom, but for baby too. 💛

Most parents don’t realize that up to 90% of newborns experience some level of strain or tension from the birth process, especially through the neck and cranial bones. And when those tiny structures feel stuck, the nervous system feels it first.

And the nervous system?
It runs everything.

✨ feeding
✨ digestion
✨ sleep
✨ breathing
✨ muscle tone
✨ immune function
✨ emotional regulation
✨ developmental milestones

This is why I love what I do.
Helping babies release that tension and settle into their bodies — breathing easier, feeding smoother, sleeping deeper — is one of the greatest honors of my calling. 🤍

A baby’s nervous system is like wet cement. Whatever patterns get set early tend to shape how they grow, regulate, and connect with the world.

When their little system is regulated, we often see:
✔️ calmer bodies
✔️ better latching
✔️ deeper sleep
✔️ easier digestion
✔️ more flexibility + comfort
✔️ smoother development

And this is exactly where gentle, pediatric chiropractic care shines. I use the lightest touch (think: checking a peach for ripeness 🍑) to help release birth-related tension and support the brain-body connection God so beautifully designed.

Not to “fix” babies —
but to help them thrive from day one. ✨

If you’ve wondered whether your baby’s symptoms might be tied to tension or nervous system dysregulation, you are always welcome here. 🤍

People always ask how I take care of my body as a chiropractor 👩🏽‍⚕️

Here’s the truth — I get adjusted once a week typically. Whether I have symptoms or not, because that’s what’s best for MY body.
Because healing isn’t a one-and-done thing… it’s maintenance.

On my 21st birthday, I was in a car accident that left me with a neck injury, and every few years it likes to remind me it’s still there — especially in “mom season.” You know… holding a baby in weird positions, nursing half-twisted, sweeping one-handed while balancing a toddler 😅

This morning was one of those days. I flared it up again — but here’s the difference ⬇️

Because my nervous system is regularly cared for, I’ll bounce back fast.
No weeks of pain. No chronic headaches. Just a quick reminder that life happens… and my body knows what to do.

And it’s not just me — just a couple weeks ago, I had a mom come in who used to be an athlete. She’d had some pelvic dysfunction that showed up during both pregnancies. She’s stayed consistent with care before, during, and years after — but recently flared her back after weeks of lifting her growing toddler on her hip.

Typically, an injury like that — a pelvic sprain — would take 6-8 weeks of focused care to heal. But because her body was already primed to heal and her nervous system well-regulated, she was back to normal in less than half that time. 🙌

That’s what maintenance care does — it doesn’t mean you’ll never have a flare-up.
It means your body knows exactly how to heal when it does.

The girl friend I didn’t even know I needed. 💕

After my third daughter was born, my body was doing its own thing.
My cycle came back early (even while breastfeeding), I was exhausted, holding onto 20 extra pounds, and honestly just felt depleted in a way I hadn’t with my first two.

With my first two pregnancies, I dropped the weight easily and didn’t see my cycle for over a year. But this time? It was the total opposite. I could tell my hormones were off, my joints hurt, and even though I was taking my prenatal, it just wasn’t cutting it anymore.

I was praying for answers. 🙏
I knew there had to be a missing piece.
I was doing everything right—eating clean, staying hydrated, getting adjusted, taking my supplements. And while I’d feel better for a little while, the moment I stepped even an inch outside those strict boundaries, it would all come crashing back.

Deep down, I knew there was something my body needed that I wasn’t getting from my food. That’s when I found and their Female Enhancement Formula (made from pasture-raised, 100% grass-fed, grass-finished organs from New Zealand).

I started taking it expecting maybe a small change…
But within a few days, I noticed my energy returning.
Within two weeks, I felt like a completely different woman.

✨ My skin was brighter
✨ My cycle became almost unnoticeable (no PMS!)
✨ My bloating and cravings disappeared
✨ My joints felt stronger
✨ And somehow, even with no sleep, I didn’t need coffee

It was like my body finally had the building blocks it needed to actually sustain the progress I’d been working toward. I was doing all the right things—but this helped my body hold those changes in a way that finally felt stable, nourished, and long-lasting.

And the best part? I’m still breastfeeding and feeling stronger than ever.

I don’t typically share products, but this one sits proudly on my shelf at home and practice. She’s one of my besties, a secret weapon, and the reminder that sometimes our bodies just need a little ancestral wisdom. 💪🏼

Hey there, I’m Dr. Alex — but most people know me as Dr. Mama Bird.

I’m a chiropractor here in Sunnyvale, Texas, and an advanced perinatal specialist serving women from pre-conception through postpartum and mothering your children into pre-teen years.

What that really means is: I care for moms and babies together as a dyad.
From helping you prepare your body for pregnancy…
to supporting you through birth recovery and C-section healing…
to troubleshooting those early weeks when you’re figuring out feeding, sleep, and everything in between — I’m here for it all.

My favorite part of this work is helping families step into motherhood with peace, confidence, and practical support.
Many families who move to the Dallas area don’t have local relatives, and that’s where I come in — providing continuity of care when the rest of the system often stops after the six-week check.

Alongside chiropractic care, I also offer home visits, childbirth education, and support in building your birth team — connecting you with midwives, doulas, pelvic PTs, dentists, pediatricians and other providers who align with your vision.

If you’re looking for a holistic, relationship-based approach to pregnancy and postpartum care, I’d love to walk alongside you.

You don’t have to do this season alone!

11 years ago, I walked down the aisle the day before Easter—my favorite Easter egg hunt to date. I didn’t just find eggs. I found my person.

We’ve had highs, lows, laughter, tears… and then there was Year 11.

Easily the hardest year of our marriage.
Yet somehow, it brought us closer than ever.

We faced storms we never saw coming, but we stood—side by side. We carried burdens we didn’t expect, but never let go of each other. We renewed our vows at 10… and then lived out those vows in real time, through fire and faith.

Paul, I love you more now than I did then.
I’ve watched you lead, love, and stay when it was hard.
And I can’t wait to keep building a life with you—one full of grace, grit, and glory.

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.”
—Hebrews 10:23

Here’s to 11 more. And 11 after that.
Still my best yes.

About

Dr. Mama Bird was dreamed up by Dr. Alex Pankoke, DC.

I am a wife, mother, entrepreneur, and most importantly a woman with heart to serve other women. During my second pregnancy, I was inspired to birth a new edition to our family practice, enKindle Chiropractic. I wanted to dedicate something special to the women in my community that supported the epic journey of motherhood

and thus, Dr. Mama Bird was born.

Dr. Mama Bird’s first priority is to serve our Creator by serving his people; specifically families, especially expecting mothers and children.
