Additionally, the schedule gets really full. Please be sure to book a few follow up appointments when you book your initial visit to ensure you have access to future timely appts.

Chiropractic Care for Adults, including fertility, pregnant and post partum clients

Initial visit: 60 minutes. $250.

This 60 minute initial visit includes: A deep dive into your life and health so that we can get to know each other and work as partners to help you heal. Includes treatment.

— Listening. Sometimes just getting it out is the first step to feeling better. I am all ears for everything— A physical examination, including orthopedic and neurological tests, so I can find out exactly what is going on. I will assess your posture, check your spine to see which joints are restricted and see which muscles are tight or weak.

___ Adjusting and bodywork (focused). We do more bodywork in the follow up appts.

___ Exercises (time permitting)

— Time to explain everything so you feel informed and empowered.

— A plan. You will leave knowing your next steps towards health and wholeness. You will feel held.

— Please note it is required to have this exam prior to any chiropractic adjustments. This initial appointment can be combined with an adjustment session if you wish  or you can choose to use the time to gather more information or learn some exercises. Please let me know at the time of visit.

Please bring any imaging you may have. Please wear loose clothes that you can move in and don't mind if some oil or lotion gets on them.

I can't wait to meet you!

Follow up office visits, 30, 45, 60 minutes, $150, 200, 250. Choose the length based upon how much bodywork and exercises you need. If you have several complaints or haven’t been in for a while, choose a longer appt. These include: adjusting the spine and a combination as determined by the needs of your body:  myofascial release for those tight muscles, kinesiology taping, electrical stimulation (TENS type unit), heating pad, postural exercises, therapeutic activities or any questions/clarification/request for education that you request..

The visits will include:

1) chiropractic adjustment (for current chiropractic clients)

The purpose of these treatment sessions is to address an issue and teach you how to take care of yourself at home, prevent re-injury and learn your body. Each visit will be different and will address different aspects.

Chiropractic Care for kids

Initial visit, 30 mins, $150.

Follow up office visit, $50 (15 min) or $100 (30 min).

Simple, straight forward wellness care kids are eligible for the shorter appt.

If you child has complex needs: latch issue, palate imbalances, torticollis, colic, GERD, cranial deformity (plagiocephaly/flat head), autism, digestion issues, then please choose the longer appt until your child can transition to the shorter one. 

Children benefit so much from a healthy spine and nervous system. They are little but they are under stress from posture, sleeping positions, falling, interfacing with technology (!) and just being kids and bumping their way through life.

Exam: During the initial visit we discuss any current issues as well as perform a pediatric physical exam including specific orthopedic and neurologic tests to determine next steps towards correcting any problems at hand. This is a very relaxing experience for the child. Parent or guardian consent is required for this visit. The first visit is about getting information and establishing trust and rapport with your child. Any adjustments are very gentle and include some massage. Kids love it.

Adjustment: A very gentle, precise adjustment to the spine to correct any misalignments. Children benefit immensely from being checked and respond very quickly. Perfect for supporting children with issues related to digestion, sleep, behavior, posture, scoliosis, GERD/reflux, torticollis, cranial deformity (plagiocephaly/flat head), latch issues, birth trauma, ear infections, chronic illness, learning challenges, anxiety, learning, and any kind of pain. I utilize craniosacral technique as well as a very gentle tool called an Activator. 

Initial exam is required for first appointment.

If your child is having trouble latching, suck -swallow -breathe coordination, tongue tie, torticollis, misshapen head, etc, then plan on seeing me 2x/week for at least 1 month to correct the nervous system pattern.

Initial Exam w/adjustment or education: 30 mins, $150
Follow up adjustment: 15 minute, $50, 30 minutes, $100

Tethered Oral tissues: tongue tie, lip tie, buccal (cheek) ties.

I see a LOT of tongue tie, lip tie and cheek tie. A LOT. It’s very common and it is commonly missed, misdiagnosed and mismanaged. I promise, I will do my best to get to the bottom of your child’s issues. Parents get gaslit by providers that should know better and do better. I am passionate about this topic. Many moons ago, my baby daughter’s tie were missed and then mismanaged. I don’t want anyone else to go through this, especially sweet, innocent babies.

Children deserve to eat and grow peacefully, without pain and discomfort.

My approach is to perform an oral examination in your presence and we will both put on gloves and go through the mouth together. You will feel and see what I see and feel. It is important for you to have a good understanding of what is going on inside your child’s mouth. I will also assess your child’s cranium (skull) and spine. Often there is tension throughout the entire system affecting sleep, feeding, stooling, mood, comfort, etc,

If your child has tethered oral tissues, then I will make a referral to a trusted pediatric dentist. I do not refer to ENTs because there are none in this area I trust to do a good job. I am speaking from experience. Maybe someday when their education includes assessing and treating tethered tissues.

In the office, I do craniosacral to correct any cranial issues and help the body adapt to better oral function and bodywork.

The typical care plan is 2x/wk for 1 month for post frenectomy and some visits may be front-loaded if the child is too tense to receive the frenectomy.

Breech, Transverse, Multiples, Posterior Presentation

60 minutes, $250

This session is designed to help get your body balanced so that your baby can get into a better position naturally so he or she will have an easier birth.

In other words, Get in here! We have work to do! This body balancing is particularly for parents with breech, transverse, occiput posterior (sunny side up), oblique presentation and multiples. If your baby is not in an optimal position, then birth can be hard on all parties.

Being born is a very big experience for the baby, too! I love babies! With this session, I combine chiropractic care for existing clients, myofascial release (soft tissue work for those torqued ligaments and fascia), stretches and exercises from Spinning Babies and other resources to give your body the best chance at giving baby space to move into an optimal position. This is excellent before a External Cephalic Version or to do beforehand to avoid one altogether if possible.

Craniosacral Therapy, 60 mins, $250

Craniosacral therapy addresses the underlying tension in the system resulting from restrictions or other dysfunction in the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These dysfunctions affect the central nervous system and can lead to myriad health issues: pain, headaches, concussion, traumatic brain injury, fibromyalgia, learning disabilities, chronic fatigue, TMJ, ADD/ADHD, back pain, muscle tension, impaired immune function and much more. The treatment involves gentle touch to the skull and sacrum to address the tension in the system and de-torque anything that might be restricting normal flow of the cerebral spinal fluid. This type of session is great for anyone who would like a gentle, effective approach to care who may not otherwise respond well to chiropractic manipulations. The session is an hour long and you will leave feeling better than you came in and a lot more relaxed. Please come in comfortable clothing.
