Understanding Your Child’s Health: Function Over Symptoms
Discover why pediatric health is about more than just symptoms. Learn how children's nervous system function affects sleep, digestion, behavior, and development.

Learn how to manage the mental pressure of waiting, why those extra days benefit your baby's development, and practical self-care strategies for the final weeks.

The Role of a Doula: How Birth Support Transforms the Pregnancy and Labor Experience
The Role of a Doula in Your Birth Journey
As both a board-certified perinatal chiropractor and trained birth doula, I provide comprehensive support throughout pregnancy and childbirth. Doulas offer continuous physical, emotional, and informational assistance that complements, not replaces, medical care and empowers mothers. Research shows doula support leads to shorter labors, fewer interventions, and greater birth satisfaction. My clients consistently report reduced anxiety, feeling advocated for, and experiencing more positive birth outcomes with doula care. My unique chiropractor-doula approach ensures optimal body alignment while creating a calm, supportive environment during one of life's most transformative experiences. Every mother deserves someone dedicated to making challenging moments manageable and joyous moments even sweeter.
The Key to Better Sleep
Sleep is one of the clearest reflections of your health. At Your Family Chiropractic, we see firsthand how improved sleep transforms energy, focus, and family wellness. From reducing screen time and evening snacking to receiving regular chiropractic care that supports nervous system balance, these simple, sustainable habits can help your body truly rest and recharge.
