All in the Head

When Marty and I first wrote “It’s All in the Head”, it was born from decades of experience. But it was also born from a desire to protect potential.
As a mother, nothing matters more to me than watching a child unfold fully into who they are meant to be.
Parents deserve reassurance and direction.
Our second edition of “It’s All in the Head”, offers clear explanations of the developing nervous system, primitive reflexes, developmental milestones and cranial development. We offer actionable next steps.
As a mother, I know how vulnerable it feels to wonder if your child is developing as they should. I also know how powerful it is to be informed.
We believe informed parents create healthier families.
If something in you is asking questions about your child’s development, I encourage you to trust your instinct. Seek understanding. Ask for guidance.
Children are resilient. The nervous system is adaptable, and early support makes all the difference.
This book is my offering, as a chiropractor, but first, as a mother.

But as every parent learns, no amount of planning prepares us for the responsibility and learning that come with welcoming a firstborn. When Emmy, my first, arrived, I remember carrying […]
