Well…here we go! The anticipation, the preparation, the continuous desire to learn to be informed, to be knowledgeable. You nourish. You plan. You pray…you want to be the best that you can be. You want everything to turn out as you had imagined. You want others to take notice of your hard work and efforts. Then, the big day comes…the day that you’re hoping will be the start of something great, not just for you, but for thousands of others who can relate, and thousands more who are looking for guidance, for certainty. You know that you will be making yourself vulnerable. You know that you are not going to appeal to everyone. You know that there may be a sprinkling of tears , but you feel you have something to say…something that just might be the right thing for someone else to hear at just the right time…the day of the birth of “The Mommy Chiro” blog.
My goals for “The Mommy Chiro” are to share personal experiences of being a mom – the many hurdles of pregnancy, childbirth, and the wonderful woes during the postpartum period, along with my expertise and experience as a prenatal chiropractor. My life and my life’s desires swiftly changed the day I became a mother. For the past 4.5 years, I have been sitting back with my eyes wide open, learning, being challenged, and growing. As all mother’s know, being a mom is the most rewarding, yet most difficult job on the planet. There is no clocking in or out. You are on duty 24/7. Constantly being selfless because there is no greater gift in the world than watching your children sprout into little amazing people. Therefore, much of this blog we will be talking mom “shop” – honest and real communication of being a mom.
On the health side of things, I hope to empower women to gain confidence in their bodies, to trust their instincts, to inform and educate. After having my first child, I did a 180 and completely switched the focus of my practice from sports injury oriented to prenatal and pediatrics. I had an overwhelming desire to initiate the change because the birth of my son was not the beautiful, all-natural experience I had envisioned. It was downright dreadful, and I still to this day grieve the birth that I did not have. This experience is one of the main reasons for me starting the blog. I feel that if I am able to talk about it and share with women who have their own story, then it will help to heal the part of my soul that was shattered that day. If you were to walk into my office when I have my doctor hat on, you would be able to feel the energy – the passion and desire that I have
to prevent another mother from going through a negative birthing experience is palpable.
So…with that being said, let’s build friendships, let’s laugh a little, cry a little, commiserate a little, but most of all, let’s lift each other up because YOU are a MOM, and that translates to: amazing, awesome, kind, selfless, superheroine.
