Verve Holistic Health

Did y’all know Dr. Holly offers yoga sessions as part of her holistic primary care treatment?! At Verve, Yoga is implemented into routine wellness exams as an avenue for you to achieve your health goals by integrating this mind-body practice into your daily life. It can also be done as a complementary therapy to your chiropractic care. Individual sessions after or before adjustments are offered in 30-, 60- and 75-minute increments and designed to your needs, goals and preferences. Your individual sessions can include different types of yoga such as Yin, Ashtanga flow and Restorative; combined with breath work, meditation, mindfulness and cranial sacral therapy. The sessions are designed for YOU!

🚨Supplement Spotlight🚨

We love recommending Cortrex and Phytisone to those in the process of healing their adrenal glands.

Cortrex contains a mix of B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, and licorice which support adrenal function. Cortrex also contains bovine adrenal glandular tissue that plays a valuable role in supporting healthy adrenal function and normal cortisol levels.

Phytisone also contains a mix of B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, ginger and licorice to support the adrenals. However, rather than adrenal glandular tissue this supplement contains adaptogens like ashwagandha, astragalus, and ginseng which all play a role in helping the adrenals optimize their response to stress.

Come see us if you think your adrenals could use some love!

Glad I got to meet this sweet nugget before I leave town for the MONTH! The office will remain open but everyone is taking a break until after July 4th! Come see Dr. Haleigh and Dr. Renee for all your needs in July! They will be handling all the baby snuggles in my absence. See your email inbox for another exciting announcement! 😉💜

🚨Supplement Spotlight🚨
These are two of our favorite thyroid supplements. They help to support thyroid function and enhance the conversion of thyroid hormone from the storage form to the active form so that it can be used in the body. Check out the video from last week where we talked about how the thyroid works and the signs and symptoms that can indicate thyroid dysfunction.

June meeting is coming up! DM if you can make it!

Join us next week!

Thank you to the Triangle Breastfeeding Alliance for having me speak on your panel of wonderful experts that offer solutions for moms and babies during their breastfeeding journey!

“Movement should be approached like life: With enthusiasm, joy & gratitude. For movement is life, and life is movement. And we get out of it what we put into it.” Ron Fleitcher 🏃‍♀️ Happy Friday from the Verve team with a little inspo for your weekend! Art credit:

A lot of you have heard me say that I’d adjust every single newborn right after they make their grand appearance. I stand by those words. This little one was having a tough time feeding. One service we offer our existing clients are home visits postpartum if they choose and need it before they can get to the office. This little one perked up and had his best feeding so far immediately following his first adjustment. There is nothing in the world that feels better as a pediatric chiropractor. It fills my heart to get their lives started with ease. 🥹😇💜

We are very excited to share that we are starting a new monthly meet-up for birth & body workers of the triangle!

The purpose of these meet-ups is to bring together like-minded providers to build community, connection and understanding. We want to continue growing our network so we can connect our clients with trusted providers as efficiently as possible. We seek to understand the gifts that each provider offers and what their unique essence is in caring for their clients.

The meet-ups will be held at our office in downtown Raleigh on the last Thursday evening of each month.

The first gathering will be Thursday, March 23 from 6pm-7:30pm.

At this first meet-up you can expect a relaxed atmosphere, time to mingle, a short guided meditation, chair massages and of course, nourishing snacks.

We know that as busy providers on a mission, making time for networking can be just “one more thing”, so our goal is to keep things concise, relaxed, and fun as we love on each other and grow together.

Monday is starting out strong with matching outfits, fun noises and smiles all around. Another day in the life. We love what we do and we love to love on our people!

Happiest of Birthdays to this beautiful spirit. Dr. Haleigh brings so much light to all around her. She is an insanely gifted healer and we are all so fortunate to have her in our realm on a daily basis. She walks the path with grace and ease. The energy that she generates is that of a true healer. Yesterday was her birthday but I’m a big fan of a birthday month, so wish this gorgeous woman a happy birthday! 💜🥳🎂

Sometimes parents are {intentionally} scared by the decrease in their baby’s heart rate during contractions in labor due to constant fetal monitoring. These dips are not only normal, but HELP baby adapt to the stress of labor. While every 1 in 1000 deliveries can result in too much of a dip, this is rare. And even in the rare (1/1000) cases where the dip is too much, 85% of those babies are perfectly fine following delivery. The catecholamines (or stress hormones) that baby produces to protect themselves during delivery continue through the first 2 hours after birth. This results in baby being alert and aware immediately following delivery and intensifies parental bonding. Birth design is perfect. 👶🏼😇💜

They come for the back pain and stay for the healing! 🥰

Did you know there are vertebrae all the way to the end of animal tails? Yep, the spine goes all the way to the end. Lessons from Dr. Lauren’s stuffy adjustments. Whatever it takes to make the kiddos feel comfortable and enjoy their adjustments. And why wouldn’t we teach them some cool things along the way? That’s what we’re all about. We want everyone to have a GREAT experience here at Verve and we strive for all the kids to feel right at home. All you have to do is come see the toy mess at the end of the appt to know that it’s a party all day at Verve. 😍🥳🤓

Morning dose of Yes, Mama, I most certainly will hold your baby so you can go to the bathroom for that one time today alone. Take your time! I’ll just be here taking selfies so I can smile later.
I really do have the best job. The babies reallllly get the namaste.

2 day old first adjustment. 🥳🤩Why? Because this family understands the importance of neurological function and the role chiropractic plays. It’s always and honor and a privilege to serve our youngest practice members. It’s especially gratifying when mom has had a healing 2nd birth experience, feeling empowered to do so trusting her innate mama intelligence. The little ones that experience gentle pregnancies and deliveries that honor the mom and baby (instead of operating from fear) are wildly more peaceful. But they still greatly benefit from these first body work sessions - removing interference from their nervous systems and allowing them to express to their full potential. Also, making sure that baby is starting out with good feeding habits and helping build the right neuro connections from the get-go for optimal patterning is CLUTCH to ensure a good latch and prevent bad habits. Regular check-ins while baby and mom are going through such rapid change is also wildly beneficial. Most of our brain connections are made and subsequently edited in the first 2 years of life. This is arguably the most important time for regular chiropractic care. And you know what, we LOVE to care for your babies at Verve - next level!!! 😍💜🐣👼🤰

The question of nature versus nurture is one of constant question in child development since the age of the human genome project. What science continues to show us is that it’s a delicate dance of BOTH. Parenting starts prior to conception where both mom and dad must pay attention to their own environment - their physical, chemical, emotional and spiritual environment so their genetic expression is healthfully passed from that first moment or cell division. The neural tube of an infant is fully intact by day 19 after conception. SO for the entire building of the neural tube, most parents do NOT know they are even pregnant. Moral of the story: if you are considering becoming a parent, start years before conceiving to prepare your total health for the incredible task at hand. You have some level of control of your environment from the food you eat, the exercise you do, the meditation you practice and the intentions you set.

At Verve we LOVE treating children, moms and dads! We love to start this process early and give everyone their best shot at optimal health and well-being. All of our experiences impact our neurological system and our gene expression. Let us guide your family to peaceful, healthy living.
