Need some support?

Read all about these fantastic Maternity Support Bands and how to get them at a discount. This is the only support band I recommend and my patients love them. Not only do they provide amazing support during all three trimesters, but they are extremely beneficial during the postpartum period as well. They offer so much support, that I often recommend them in place of an SI or trochanter belt - they're just much more comfortable.

I only have one and a half summers left

I heard somewhere that you only have 18 summers with each one of your kids. Then I heard it's more like 16 because they don't remember the 1st two. My first summer with my daughter was when she was born - in July - and that was 17 years ago. (July 2017 Update - that was 20 years ago and now my youngest is a senior in High school. Next summer is it for us...then he's off to college!)

This summer and part next will be it for me. My baby is all grown up! As I look back I am so overwhelmingly grateful that I have NO regrets. I took off from work, rescheduled office hours and downright partially retired during the summer months. I did this during the school year, too...I'm still doing it! When there is a field trip, concert, play, track meet, football game, award ceremony; I rearrange my schedule so I am there. I have not missed ONE SINGLE event since my kids started pre-school. NOT ONE. My patients always understood and shared their admiration for my ability to be there for my kids no matter what. No one ever said, "What about me, Dr. Karen? Aren't I more important than your kids?"

I chose long ago that my family comes first. I make no apologies for it and we all WIN! I made a lifetime of memories with my kids and have gone without HUGE volumes in my practice to do it and I don't ever, ever, ever lament over those choices.  I have no debt, live very comfortably, go on amazing vacations and my kids know which one of their parents they can always rely upon. They know who was and always will be there for them; who puts them first - before practice, patients and money. THAT is priceless.

Enjoy your 16 (or less) summers!

Pregnant Women are everywhere and they need chiropractic!

WOW!  I was swamped this week with moms-to-be.  85% of my patient visits this week were for pregnant women in need of chiropractic care.  ALL of my new patients were pregnant ladies.  ALL of them. 

The number one reason my practice is full of mommies and babies is because the Midwife with whom I work closely (Barbara), LOVES and UNDERSTANDS the need for chiropractic care before, during and after pregnancy. She recommends that ALL of her patients undergo chiropractic care with ME to help ensure the best chances of an easier labor and childbirth experience.  She and her entire staff get adjusted, by yours truly, and they ALL talk about chiropractic care to all of the patients of the birth center.  

Many times, my coaching clients and docs who have taken my courses or bought my books will ask me "HOW do I get midwives or other birth professionals to refer to me?"

The best answer I can give is, it takes time and trust.  I've known Barbara for more than 17 years (update - more than 22 years,now) and have developed a truly wonderful and rewarding relationship with her.  She trusts me implicitly with her patients because she knows I know what I'm doing.  I speak HER language.  I know what happens with an OP presentation and why (and what to look for in the mom so I can affect a change).  When she tells me they had to transfer a patient because she was GBS+ and had a PROM, I know what she means.  

So doctor...do you know what these things mean?  Do you speak "their" language to instill trust?  Can you teach them how and why to refer to you using "their" terminology?
