Greetings!

dr heidi
Dr. Heidi & Proud Mom 
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms we have the honor to treat at InnerMovement!
 
We're sending this message early because as a mom, I know firsthand that most moms have to get through a lengthy To-Do list before feeling worthy of making time for themselves. Unfortunately, this time rarely comes.  This year, we're hoping that with our encouragement, you'll be inspired to make YOU and your wellness a priority because you're worth it!  Doesn't a visit for a much-needed adjustment and our luxurious heated Bamboo Massage followed by tea time with the girls sounds delightful?  And our nurturing hands are here to provide all that you need to recharge, reconnect and replenish your feminine power. 
 
While at tea, be sure to mention to your pregnant girlfriends that our staff specializes in prenatal chiropractic and massage.  We can ease almost any pregnancy related pain, speed up the birth process and even turn breech babies!  C-section rates are higher in the U.S. than in any other industrialized country, so help the mom's in your life understand that Chiropractic adjustments are gentle & safe and your first choice in healthcare.
 
Until our next adjustment.... 

 

Yours in health,    

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team

PATIENT SUCCESS STORY 

Testimonial by InnerMovement Patient & New Mom

Vanessa C. 

  

"I've been seeing Dr Heidi for a couple of years now to help me with my hip alignment.  Over the years I have seen many prenatal and postnatal women in her waiting rooVanessam. So naturally when I found out I was pregnant, with great confidence I continued to see Dr Heidi throughout my pregnancy.  She has a special table to accommodate pregnant bellies.  She would change her treatment as I went through the trimesters and would also check that the uterus was aligned so baby could have more room.  For me, Dr. Heidi's adjustments are always gentle, thoughtful, and relaxing...just what a pregnant body is starving for!  9 months later I had a great labor experience and I continue to see Dr. Heidi for my postnatal body."
