The postpartum mental health conversation we’re not having enough 💕✨
Everyone talks about the “baby blues” and postpartum depression like they’re inevitable…
But here’s the truth ⬇️
🧠 Your hormones are controlled by your nervous system — when it’s stressed, oxytocin, prolactin, and cortisol can’t regulate properly (hello emotional rollercoaster 🎢).
⚡ Birth + no sleep = survival mode. Your nervous system can get locked in fight-or-flight, making calm feel impossible.
😴 Sleep becomes a vicious cycle — nervous system overload = poor sleep = harder to cope.
🤰 Gut-brain connection takes a hit — 90% of serotonin is made in the gut, but if the vagus nerve isn’t communicating, digestion and mood both struggle.
So what helps most? An integrative approach 💡
✨ Therapy → processes emotions, identity shifts, & birth trauma
✨ Chiropractic → supports the nervous system that regulates sleep, mood, & stress
✨ Together → mind + body healing for lasting change 🌿
When mamas get BOTH, they often experience:
💚 Faster emotional regulation
💚 Better sleep (when baby allows 😉)
💚 Brighter moods + mental clarity
💚 More resilience for daily life
💚 Deeper, sustainable healing
You deserve support that honors ALL of you — mind and body 💕
