At this special time of nurturing tiny humans, we're here to provide support and a listening ear. Our goal is to ensure you feel supported and heard throughout your pregnancy journey.
We offer trusted resources and referrals to assist you in accessing the support you need.
Giving your baby the best environment . . . . in utero
Our focus is on restoring balance to your autonomic nervous system, made up of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, essentially your "fight or flight" and "rest and recovery. We know that the stress a mama experiences during pregnancy can have profound and lasting effects on baby. Your child's brain development starts in pregnancy and that's why it is SO important to take good care of your body. We know that birth sometimes doesn't go as planned, but if we prepare the body for birth then there is a better chance of better outcomes. By bringing balance to your pelvis, we can create optimal space for your baby's growth. Through chiropractic adjustments, we remove interference, allowing your nervous system to function at its best and reducing the discomfort often associated with pregnancy and labor.
Dr Cassy is a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner. Spinning Babies® is a physiological approach to preparing for and caring for birth. She is certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association in Webster's Technique. The Webster technique is defined by the ICPA as: "a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neurobiomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved."
Here are a few other reasons you might want to consider seeking out a Webster-certified chiropractor when you’re pregnant.
Fighting the Effects of Sacral Subluxation
One of the most common issues during pregnancy is sacral subluxation. Sounds scary, right? It’s actually a fancy way of saying that the sacrum (a bone at the base of your spine) is slightly out of place. This can mess with your body’s overall function and cause discomfort. The Webster Technique aims to lessen these effects with a specific chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is a great way to ensure that your spine stays in an optimal position
Making Room for Your Baby
Sometimes babies find themselves in a breech position before birth. That means they’re feet-first instead of head-first. You might have heard of the external cephalic version, a medical procedure where doctors try to manually turn the baby. However, the great news is that the Webster Technique can help create more room in your pelvis, allowing the breech baby to turn their head down naturally.
Boosting Uterine Function
A big part of what makes this technique so great is that it helps improve uterine function. That means it can help your uterus do its job even better, providing a more comfortable space for your baby to grow.
Soft Tissue Love
Not to forget, the Webster Technique involves some serious love for the soft tissues in your body. By releasing tension in muscles and ligaments, especially in the pelvic region, it helps make your pregnancy as smooth and comfortable as possible.

As a mom navigating her way through a high-risk pregnancy, news of one more complication just leaves you with more questions and concerns. When the news is that your baby is not in the optimal position, your questions go something like this: Will my baby turn on its own? Will I need external cephalic version? Can I even have that? Is it safe? Will I need to have a C-section?
