The Postpartum Rhythm — A Dance of Regulation, Hope, and Healing
“But what are we doing to support mom? What are we doing to support the death of the woman she once was and has known herself to be, and the birth of the newborn mother. The birth of the nurturer. The forever caretaker. The ever-kisser of goodnights and boo-boos…”
Current Favorites: Bags
“When searching for the perfect diaper bag for my family, I stumbled upon many brands, styles and fabrics, but Azaria’s Le Mere stood out to me most.”
Prenatal Care for the Body and Mind
“No one did this alone. No one kept quiet the secrets of how men and women alike (yep, men, you, too!) prepared their bodies in the best way possible in order to set themselves up for maximal success in bringing a healthy human into the world.”
Infants and Chiropractic Care
“The role of chiropractors, as mentioned previously, is to work with the nervous system. When we go into a tremendous state of adaptation, beyond what we can handle, our nervous system shifts into a state of what so many refer to as “fight or flight”. Just like us adults, our babies can hang out (and get stuck) there, too. It is the job of a chiropractor to help shift baby’s nervous system out of a state of alert and defense, and into a state of “ahhhh”, formally known as a state of increased vagal tone.”
Sustainable Goods for Your Little One
“I put together a list of links to our favorite products we’ve used in the last 6 months. None are sponsored, most are sustainable, and all are worth the purchase. From nursery must-haves to clothing basics, read on for a guide of sustainable goods for your little one.”
5 Month Update with Our Everett Kai
“The last five months have been the best and the hardest of our lives. I’ve recently felt a pull to share some of our hardships to further attempt normalizing the conversation of real life parenthood. It’s not easy like I so blissfully thought it would be. Like parenting books have written about. “Follow these steps and you’ll do great!”
