Yes! So important to understand that kids are allowed to feel their feelings and we are here to make them feel safe and loved when big feelings arise.

Emotional resilience doesn’t mean a child never struggles. It means they feel safe enough to feel. 🤍
Resilient children still experience big emotions, hard days, fear, and frustration. The goal isn’t to raise children who never feel overwhelmed. It’s to help them develop the security to move through those feelings without believing they have to hide them.
As explored in “Sensitive or Insecure?” by Naomi Aldort in Pathways to Family Wellness magazine, there’s a difference between helping a child feel secure and expecting them to simply toughen up.
Because resilience isn’t about feeling less. It’s about having the security to feel, process, and grow.
What did resilience look like in your childhood? 👇

I work with lactation, pediatric dentists and craniosacral therapists when latching is not ideal. I often recommend addressing tension from birth as a possible cause. Glad to see this research being done as we have much to learn about the causes of latch issues.

So excited to be in community with everyone this November! Please consider joining as a volunteer or vender for this awesome event!!

Dear Community,
We need you.

We’re gathering volunteers to help us make the 2026 Birth & Baby Fair feel welcoming, joyful and thoughtfully cared for from beginning to end.

We would especially love help with:

✨ Coordinating food and refreshments
✨ Planning activities and attendee programming
✨ Gathering and assembling welcome bags and gift bundles
✨ Supporting vendors and attendees
✨ Photography and day-of social media
✨ Set-up, restocking and other event-day needs

You don’t need to take on an entire area alone. Roles can be shared, responsibilities can be divided and even a few hours of help can make a meaningful difference.

If one of these roles feels like a natural fit or you simply want to lend a hand send us a DM or email us at [email protected]

Come help us create something beautiful for growing families in our community. 🌿

Taking some time off next week! I'll be in the office March 30th & 31st and back to regular hours the following week.

We’re excited to be launching the next round of our Duluth Dads Group! Led by an experienced dad of young children, this group is a great way for new dads or less-new dads to connect with other guys also in the throes of parenting youngsters. Join us starting March 11th for the next series!

This group meets at Zeitgeist in downtown Duluth, every other Tuesday, from 7:45-9:15 PM. The fee scale is $75-175, pay-what-you're-able. If you'd like to join in, register at the link right here below. We hope to see you there!

I recently became aware of a proposed change to the state budget. Patients over the age of 21 are at risk of losing their benefit to seek chiropractic care through medical assistance programs. Now is the time to contact the governor's office and our local representatives and let them know how this would impact you or those you know in the community.

The changes can be found in the Human Service section of the budget proposal starting on page 105.https://mn.gov/mmb-stat/documents/budget/2026-27-biennial-budget-books/governors-recommendations-january/human-services.pdf

Go here to find your local Senate and House representatives:

I am writing my own letters asking for reconsideration of this change and am open to discussion or answering any questions you may have about how this would affect future care. But lets work together to encourage enough voices speak up and make chiropractic more accessible for all.
