"Caring for a pregnant women is all about her! The goal is the physical balancing of the muscles, ligaments and bony structures to allow mom and baby to have a comfortable pregnancy and a safe and healthy (and often faster) labour and birth. I am committed to the education about options that so many moms don't get (myself included)."
"Caring for the pediatric population is AMAZING. Children aren't bogged down by years of postural changes, injuries and overuse syndromes and therefore respond well. The treatment is so safe and gentle (no more force than the pressure required to break the skin on a ripe tomato) that babies often giggle through an adjustment. My own experience happened with my daughter Shea. She had met her developmental milestones perfectly - and her squat form was impeccable, until one day after she had been walking (and falling) for quite some time, that I started to notice that her left knee would turn inward when she was sitting. At around the same time, she started suffering from constipation (hard stool that is difficult and painful to pass) and although our doctor recommended the temporary use of an over-the-counter laxative, we found that unless we gave it to her everyday, she would suffer. So I started adjusting her. My goal was to re-align her pelvis so that her leg wouldn't turn in anymore as well as remove any interference to the nerves in the affected area (anatomically related to defecation). Within one week we threw out the laxative bottle and haven't needed it since. She has perfectly regular and easy bowel movements and my husband actually started calling it "an attitude adjustment" because she just seemed so much more happy and pleasant."
