Long labor. Emergency C-section. Vacuum or forceps delivery. Even a "perfectly normal" birth puts significant stress on a newborn's spine and nervous system.

And that stress doesn't just disappear.

It can show up as:
→ Colic or excessive fussiness
→ Trouble latching
→ Constipation
→ Poor sleep
→ Favoring one side
→ Missing motor milestones

Your baby can't tell you something feels off. But their body will.

This is why I check every baby I can get my hands on... especially after a rough entry into the world. A few gentle adjustments can make a world of difference for a nervous system that's been under stress since day one.

If your baby had a tough birth, or even if you're not sure, come see us. 💜

This made our whole day. 💜

This is exactly why we do what we do, not just to get people out of pain, but to make them feel genuinely cared for from the moment they walk in the door.

If you've been on the fence about coming in, let this be your sign.

Healthy eater. Plenty of fiber. Moving her body. Drinking her water. Doing everything right and still, nothing.

And when she did go? Hard little pebbles. More rabbit than human.

Mom was frustrated. Daughter was uncomfortable. And everyone in that house was feeling it.

We started adjustments and added in a quality pro/prebiotic and this week? She has p**ped TWICE. 🎉

We're gunning for daily but honestly? We are SO pumped for her already.

Oh and mom mentioned one more thing. After she p**ps, her daughter's mood completely shifts. She's happier, lighter, easier.

Which tracks. Because who among us is in a good mood when we haven't p**ped in a week.
Not I. 😂

If your child struggles with constipation, hard stools, or just never seems to fully empty, this is exactly what we help with. The nervous system controls digestion. When it's not communicating well, nothing moves like it should.

Come see us. Your kid deserves to p**p like a human. 💜

Bell Tower Festival 2026 is on the horizon and with it comes road closures. We will be open regular hours tomorrow but you may have to park right down the street and walk to us.

We are excited for a fun weekend! 🥳

The days feel long and the years feel short and sometimes in the middle of all of it we just need a reminder ...connection doesn't have to be complicated. 💛

It's the secret handshake. The question that actually gets an answer. The yes when you really want to say not right now.

I do my best to keep these in mind when we've had a rough morning or a rough week.

Save this one. You're going to need it on a Tuesday in October when everything feels hard and you just want to find your way back to each other.

Tag a mama who needs this today. 💕

Five years ago you arrived screaming and we finally exhaled after two long years. Our double rainbow. 🌈 You have taught me that love doesn't divide, it multiplies. That every child is their own whole person. That the moment you watch your baby become a big brother, your heart does something it's never done before.

Happy birthday baby. We are so lucky you're ours. 💜

Tell me something your second taught you. ⬇️

Swipe through, your body might be sending you signals that you are missing.

Many people wait until something "snaps" before they think about chiropractic, but the brain and body give plenty of warning signs long before that happens.

Save this and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

And if you find yourself nodding along to these, DM me. Let's talk.

To every new mama, this one's for you.

- Your body just did something extraordinary. It needs rest and recovery.
- It is okay if the dishes and the laundry pile up. It won't forever.
- It is completely normal (and acceptable) to want to cuddle your baby 24/7.
- Asking for help does not make you weak.
- Baby's stomach is the size of a cherry at birth. That's around 5 - 7ml or about a teaspoon.
- Taking care of yourself is taking care of your baby too.
- Listen and trust your mom gut. You intuitively know your baby best.
- You might cry for no reason or just because you love this little one so much. If the feelings become too much or you are feeling overwhelmed find someone to talk to.
- You are so strong.
