Postpartum Care
Welcome to your 4th trimester! Most women who have previously experienced the postpartum period may not include an exclamation point in that sentence but we do. Why? Although we know this time can be exhausting and stressful, we have the knowledge and resources to support you during your postpartum recovery.
Our number one priority is to support you physically and mentally so you can rest, recover, and bond with your baby.
Currently, the standard of care for a postpartum mother is a visit shortly after delivering your baby and a final appointment at 6 weeks. We understand that this is not enough and moms deserve more.
You just spent 40+ weeks making a human! Your body has been through so many changes and those don't magically return to "normal" after you have your baby. However, with a little guidance and encouragement we are confident we can help you have a more enjoyable postpartum period and return you to your pre-pregnancy health or better!
We perform a thorough and gentle assessment in the first couple of weeks after you have your baby followed by at least 12 weeks of chiropractic care, nutritional recommendations, and emotional support. Additionally, we offer individualized packages to address common postpartum conditions such as Diastasis Recti, core and pelvic floor dysfunction, scar care and more!
We know that every pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum experience is different so we will meet you where you are at.
We look forward to being your partner on this journey!

Chiropractic Care
We encourage all women before conception, throughout pregnancy, and especially during the postpartum period to receive chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments restore function of the nervous system, improve posture, relieve aches and pains, and reduce muscle tension and stress. You will leave every appointment happier and more comfortable so you can enjoy your time with your baby!
Core & Pelvic Floor Rehab
When your body is healed and ready, we can teach you optimal breathing, posture, deep core and pelvic floor activation, and how to properly distribute pressures in your body to achieve a stronger core and pelvic floor. When you restore strength and relieve abnormal tension in these areas it can reduce diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, constipation, hemorrhoids, painful intercourse, and much more.
Nutrition & Supplementation
Our postpartum nutritional guide will help you determine exactly what your body requires while healing your body and feeding your baby. Additionally, we offer a variety of supplements to support you on your health journey.
Scar Care
It is likely you did not expect to have a cesarean birth (belly birth) and often times it is difficult to even look at or touch your scar. For some women it can be cosmetically frustrating. Unfortunately, tissue that has been disrupted doesn't heal smoothly or perfectly. We are here to help you remove adhesions to allow the tissue to move freely and re-organize itself. Doing so can prepare your body for future pregnancies, reduce pain during intercourse, and improve the appearance of the scar.
