Tylenol Alternatives: Better & Safer Remedies Wondering what Tylenol alternatives are right for your family? Look no further. Here are safe and effective natural alternatives when your baby is sick.

Wishing all of our mothers a Happy Mother’s Day today. We recognize those celebrating, those mourning losses, and those in the trenches. We see you and we love you!

Our hearts are so heavy this morning following last night’s devastation. Here is one way you can help. We would love to be assistance to anyone, especially our patients, in whatever way we can. Please reach out 🙏🏼.

Back in 2020 when everything was shut down, I took a leap and made the commitment to dive deeper into my understanding and mastery of cranial specific chiropractic technique. Just when we were in the peak of isolation, I was lucky enough to gather with some of the most amazing chiropractors and learn from the best of the best, Drs. Rosen and Watson. What they taught has completely changed the trajectory of my practice and the capacity that I am able to help my patients. I’m truly indebted to them. At the time, they only offered their course work in person in Boston. As of now, they’ve expanded their ability to share their program to online and other in-person seminars. I’ve been able to continue my studies online since 2020 but I can’t stress enough how impactful the in-person seminars are. As of this year, however, they are expanding and bringing the seminars to Omaha!!! I couldn’t be more excited to share this with my community because we need more people doing this work. If you have any interest or questions, please reach out. Register here!!! You won’t regret it❣️ https://peak-potential-institute.mykajabi.com/a/2147833005/2fYYXXPq

So, why are you bringing your baby to the chiropractor? 🤷🏼‍♀️

“Did you know that Mayan families in Guatemala, consider bedsharing to be the only way to parent through the night?

Did you know that in Japan, breastfeeding and shared sleep (soine) is seen as a means to sustain connection through touch or ‘skinship’ between mother and child?

Did you know that In Bali, babies’ feet don’t touch the ground until 3 months of age?

Yet, we’re told in western culture that our babies need to sleep on their own, that we need to get our babies on a schedule and that we can ‘spoil’ them if we pick them up ‘too much’.

One of my favourite cross-cultural pieces of research to share to help us challenge the mainstream parenting narrative, comes from Dr. Charlotte Peterson. She spent forty years traveling the globe to live with local families and witness parenting practices in peaceful cultures. She observed that in Bali, babies are seen as a blessing.

At three months of age, there is a ceremony called Tiga Bulan or “three moons”. It is not until the celebration of this ceremony that a new baby’s feet touch the earth. Until that point, the baby is considered “of the heavens” and is constantly held in someone’s arms.

After the ceremony, the baby is considered “of the earth”. Although a baby can be put down and “out of arms” at this point, Charlotte has rarely seen a Balinese infant or toddler not being held or closely watched, by her parents or family members, within those first three months.

For me, it feels validating to gain a different perspective, reminding us that our instincts to hold our babies close are ancient, wise and innately human. I seek out research like this as it allows me to better understand the difference between social norms & what’s best for our babies.”

“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”

In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, I share a picture of his powerful memorial I was so lucky to have visited in Washington D.C. this fall. May we all be reminded on this day of the power of peace, justice, and love.

For the safety of our patients, especially our littlest ones, The Health Practice will be closed today. Stay warm and safe!

The nervous system is the gateway to your child’s health. Did you know that we have a way to gauge what direction it’s going in? Our Insight Scanner gives us a peek into what state your child’s nervous system is functioning in. It is a unique and specialized scan that is integral for care. Then, through chiropractic adjustments, their nervous system is enabled to have proper regulation and coordination, and as a result, be able to adapt to life better. If you’d like to experience the scans for yourself, give us a call in the new year to schedule.

We love hearing from our patients! Thankful for another great review 🩷!

We received this beautiful review ✨. We just have the best patients!

“When a baby suckles at its mother's breast, a vacuum is created. Within that vacuum, the infant's saliva is sucked back into the mother's ni**le, where receptors in her mammary gland read its signals. This "baby spit backwash," as she delightfully describes it, contains information about the baby's immune status. Everything scientists know about physiology indicates that baby spit backwash is one of the ways that breast milk adjusts its immunological composition. If the mammary gland receptors detect the presence of pathogens, they compel the mother's body to produce antibodies to fight it, and those antibodies travel through breast milk back into the baby's body, where they target the infection.”
