Breastfeeding is not just a method of delivering nutrition; it is also a way of establishing a relationship between mother and baby. This is the baby’s first relationship in life and one that sets the tone for how the baby learns to view the world.
Read MoreThe Webster Technique, a chiropractic approach that supports pelvic and sacral stability during pregnancy, may help facilitate more optimal birthing conditions and positively influence the Autonomic Nervous System.
Read MoreMost people think life begins at birth, but the truth is, it begins much earlier. Long before your baby takes their first breath, their nervous system is already active, sensing and responding to the world inside the womb. What happens during pregnancy doesn’t just impact physical growth, it deeply shapes emotional and psychological well-being.
Read MoreWhile most of us are led to believe that the health of our children is determined by DNA and their genetic code, research tells us that in reality the health of a developing child’s nervous system and the environment they are developing in throughout pregnancy and childhood play a far greater role in determining their health.
Read MoreMany pregnant women ask what they can do at home to help support the chiropractic adjustments and minimize or even avoid aches and pains during their pregnancy. The key is daily movement habits. The truth is, the body adapts to how you use it throughout the days, months, and years. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym before you start feeling better. You can make simple at-home changes.
Read MoreAs a mother, the top priority is raising healthy children. For centuries, we have been taught to be afraid of germs and that the younger we are the weaker our immune system is to fight off a virus or bacteria by itself. There is not one system in the body that acts independently. Any kind of stress to one system influences the other systems.
Read MoreIn order to optimize birth and minimize trauma, all participants need to feel safe, supported and connected during the birthing process. The vagus nerve is both an indicator for resilience and a potential risk factor for a newborn. It forms a network of nerves originating in the brainstem, wandering down to the gut. It transmits signals related to feelings of safety and threat, thereby influencing both our emotional state and physical sensations. It is not solely about ‘getting’ the baby out; rather, it’s about feeling safe enough to let the baby out.
Read MoreChronic maternal stress negatively impacts various stages, as well as neurodevelopment of the baby. It is important to enhance stress resilience and promote healthy choices.
Read MoreInfantile Colic is often dismissed as a phase that infants grow out of, but this view overlooks the neurological underpinnings that contribute to the condition. While most people will look to the stomach or digestive system for the cause of colic, the root cause is often found even deeper within the nervous system and its control and coordination of digestive motility, absorption, and elimination.
Recognizing the truth beneath the ties encourages a more integrative, functional approach to care, one that honors the body’s complexity and capacity for healing when given the right support.
Breastfeeding is not just a method of delivering nutrition; it is also a way of establishing a relationship between mother and baby. This is the baby’s first relationship in life and one that sets the tone for how the baby learns to view the world.
