Chiropractic is a science, philosophy and art rooted in all things natural. It is centered around the body’s Innate Intelligence, and ability to heal from within. As vitalistic chiropractors, we acknowledge that there is a Universal Intelligence or Life Force that animates all living things. In our bodies, this Life Force is called Innate and operates through the Central Nervous System – the system through which all energy and information is processed and perceived.
When the body’s ability to integrate life’s stress (physical, mental, emotional, chemical, spiritual) is exceeded, the system stores this stress as an adaptive strategy which then alters structure and function. This adaptive strategy creates distortion patterns and neurological imbalance. These patterns can interfere with the exchange of information from the brain to all other systems in the body, ultimately holding us in a lower functioning state. These patterns are detected and dissipated through the adjustment process, allowing for greater coherence and balance within your system.
This adjustment process begins with the art of storytelling: a conversation about you, your life experiences, and how your body is functioning in the here and now. Through connection, intentional touch and specific spinal indicators, your body will start to reveal protective patterns and energetic leaks. The specific and honoring input provided into the spine sends electrochemical signals through the spinal cord to the brain, bringing awareness to these patterns. The brain then takes that information and makes changes in activity and function, creating an environment for us to shift into a more sustainable and supportive state. With the right environment the body has the ability to self-heal and self-regulate.
Through the adjustment process, we meet you where you are at, only providing input when there is perceived safety and a sense of rapport. This safety is established internally and it allows the body to reveal the patterns, unwind, and let go. Our intention, through conversation, presence, and honoring touch, is to build this rapport and bring attention to what is being held within your system so that it can be cleared and released. When this clearing takes place, one is able process information more accurately and their capacity is increased, creating more freedom and ease.
Chiropractic radically influences the way we live. It’s rooted in the tone of the nervous system, which dictates the tone of your life. So, if we can change the tone of the nervous system then we can change the tone of our life. It’s all within you.
VITALISTIC CHIROPRACTIC CARE
To be asked to witness a birth, that of a mother and of a child, is the highest honor and we hold this with such reverence and gratitude.
Birth is sacred, powerful, intimate, and vulnerable. A doula acts as a companion who supports and advocates for mom, baby & family, while holding space and not interfering with the natural process of birth. It is through birth that you can discover who you are, what you are here to do and your unshakeable power. Pregnancy and birth are a beautiful opportunity to connect with the innate wisdom within.
As your doula, we will be an educational resource for you on all things surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We will remind you of your body’s beautiful design and your ability to create life and birth your baby into this world. We will be there to encourage you to reclaim your power, and walk alongside you honoring your path into motherhood.
This birth doula offering is reserved for clients who are under Chiropractic care at Intuitive Heart. Perinatal Chiropractic care is vital for both mom and baby, as the big shifts happen in the body to create a new life. The rapport built during the prenatal visits is carried into the Doula services during birth.
Postpartum is a time for integration, rejuvenation and co-regulation. At Intuitive Heart we believe that continuous, consistent care and support for women throughout the perinatal period, including the postpartum, can change the entire birth and mothering experience; when the mother is taken care of, the family is taken care of.
