I always knew I wanted to work with pregnancy. My fascination began when my older sister was pregnant with my niece. She had a seemingly healthy pregnancy until she was admitted at 34 weeks for pre-eclampsia. My niece was born 6 weeks prematurely. Thankfully the story ended well. My niece is healthy and my sister was able to get pregnant again and have a much better pregnancy and birth with my nephew. Her experience made me so interested in pregnancy. I began to learn all that I could about nutrition, health, and the impacts these have on a woman’s body. 

Fast forward to chiropractic school and my fascination only amplified. I knew as soon as I started my business I wanted to work with pregnant women. 

I studied the Webster technique and became certified. I started taking care of women during their pregnancies and I learned so much. 

Since starting my practice 5 years ago I have worked with hundreds of pregnant women during all stages of pregnancy. I love getting to be part of this journey. It is such a special time, whether it’s the first pregnancy or the third or fourth. 

I think part of me was living vicariously through my patients. I had a deep longing to become pregnant myself. But growing a business with a husband in school full time made that dream impossible. Once that part got settled I had some health issues that threatened my ability to someday become pregnant. When my doctor told me my fertility was at risk it made my husband and I realize just how badly we wanted to be parents. 

We were so blessed to become pregnant in 2022. I truly enjoyed being pregnant. That was due to practicing what I preach to my patients. I moved my body, I got adjusted every week, and I rested when I needed to. But my absolute favorite part of being pregnant was getting to share that experience with the patients I was caring for. There were several of my patients that were all due around the same time as I was. I loved getting to talk to them about what they were going through and sharing that journey together. As if I didn’t know it already, this solidified my passion for pregnancy.
