Please, please please let’s reconsider the language when guiding parents to latch a baby. Pressure on the chin stimulates the gape reflex and baby will open the mouth, allowing them to get a deep latch on the breast.
✅In with “land the chin”
❌Out with “nose to nipple”

I recently attended a panel discussion and when it came time to introduce myself, I felt a little long-winded and all over the map🗣️😂🗣️
I have a lot of tools in my tool box, and I know it can be confusing…🧰
So, here is a weeks worth of clients as a sampling of what I do, and who I treat.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Basically EVERYONE!! 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒
I’m helping lactating families, regulating nervous systems, releasing chronic tensions, and treating complex cranial issues.
🌟Really just helping all ages live in an improved state of health, form and function.🌟
