Welcome to our Official Blog! I capitalized that because it seems important – I’ve dabbled with blogging in the past, and I’ve made the decision about what I want this blog to look like. Chiropractic only? Personal experiences? Motherhood? Or maybe a healthy combination of everything? I want this blog to be a reflection of who I am in and out of our practice. Because, I’m not “just” the chiropractor, with the “chiropractory” knowledge. I’m also a friend, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a mom. And outside of caring for my practice members, I’m running a business, I’m running to daycare, I’m running to the grocery store, I’m running out of space to put laundry baskets full of clothes, and I’m running into the arms of my family every night.
So, I get it, parents. I’m IN it with you, and I want to use my experience in all of these facets of my life to help connect with you, and with our community, and by connecting, help to show that we all deserve to have a happy, healthy life and family.
We all deserve to see our kids THRIVE, and not merely survive…through chronic illnesses, diagnoses, challenges at school or with friends, or sleepless nights.
Moms, we all DESERVE to fill our cups, every single day. To put us as a priority so we can continue to pour into our families and not be draining ourselves to the point of collapse trying to keep up with the highlight reel we set our expectations to.
Dads, you deserve to be able to run, jump, wrestle, and live a long life with your kids. To have energy and stamina to love your wives and partners and to support them as they grow and sustain the lives of your little ones.
Grandparents, you DESERVE to enjoy every moment with your grandbabies and adult children. To not sit on the sidelines and watch as they grow and thrive, wishing you could DO more.
This blog is FOR you, our reader, our practice members, our community. This blog is one part of the tribe we have built and will continue to build within our practice walls, as well as outside of them, into the community. Because it takes a tribe, a community, and village to DO this life – no matter the stage you are in.
And I’m just like you, looking for my tribe to DO this life with. And you know what…YOU are all part of that! Being able to connect with expecting parents on their journey toward parenthood, with a new mom whose baby is struggling to latch, with a family that’s lost their connection because of a child struggling with sleep and behavior concerns, with a mom to be planning for a better birth than her first; all of these and more have given me the opportunity to grow my tribe, my village and there have been many times I have learned more than I have taught! I will forever be grateful for that.
So, this is the purpose of this blog. Continue to grow our tribe, connect with one another, learn from each other, and share our experiences, to know that we are all IN it together, no matter how messy it may seem. I look forward to connecting with you!
