overall health & wellness

True wellness is about so much more than any single symptom or goal. Women come to us to feel better in their bodies day to day, with support for stress, tension, energy, and a nervous system that carries far too much. Gentle, whole-person care helps your body function, adapt, and rebalance the way it's meant to. Because when your whole self is cared for, everything from your mood to your health feels more within reach.

Women-specific aches & pains

Your body works hard, and it deserves care built around what women actually experience. We help ease the low back, hip, neck, and pelvic discomfort that so many women carry, along with the tension that builds from stress, posture, and busy, demanding days. Gentle, tailored adjustments help release that tension and restore comfortable movement. So you can feel more like yourself and show up for the life you love.

I am 37 weeks pregnant now and I can tell you: My back does not bother me at all! (I mean, just the normal laydown position during pregnancy) but before, I couldn’t even move."

THE MOTHERBABY DIFFERENCE

Why Women Trust MotherBaby

Our Signature Protocol

The 120-Day Fertility Protocol: your whole-body foundation.

Preparing for pregnancy is about so much more than a positive test. It's about becoming healthy enough to conceive and to carry a thriving pregnancy. Our signature 120-day protocol is built around that truth. The timeframe isn't arbitrary: it takes about 120 days for your eggs to mature, so these months are your window to nourish your body, restore balance, and lay a strong foundation. You'll get a clear, week-by-week plan, along with nourishing recipes, practical tips, and simple tools to make each step doable at home. Guided by Dr. Chrisi as both a perinatal chiropractor and licensed midwife, and shaped by her own fertility journey, this is care that supports your whole self, not just a due date.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It's a common question. We focus on your whole-body health and nervous system, not just your spine. Here's the idea: when your body is under a heavy load of stress, whether chemical, physical, or emotional, it stays in "survival mode." Our work focuses on calming and nourishing your nervous system, easing tension, and reducing the stressors that keep your body stuck in fight-or-flight. The goal is simple: to help your body reach the balanced, well-supported state where it can do what it's designed to do. We believe health comes first, and we're honored to help you build it.

  • It's our signature, whole-body approach to preparing for pregnancy over the roughly 120 days it takes your eggs to mature. Rather than focusing on a single fix, it supports ten connected pillars of health, from nervous system care and nutrition to sleep, stress, movement, and cycle awareness. You'll get a clear, week-by-week plan along with recipes, practical tips, and simple tools to use at home, all designed to help you feel your healthiest as you prepare to conceive.

  • The timeframe isn't arbitrary. It takes about 120 days for your eggs to fully mature, and around 90 days for sperm to develop. That window gives your body meaningful time to make real changes, restore balance, and build a strong foundation. Committing to these months is one of the most supportive things you can do for your health before conception, and the healthy habits you build often benefit you for years to come.

  • Because we believe a healthy pregnancy begins with a healthy you. When the entire focus is only on conceiving, the foundation of health can get skipped, and that foundation matters for you and your future baby. By supporting your whole body first, we help create the conditions where conception and a thriving pregnancy are most likely to follow. It's a shift in focus that changes everything.

  • Every pillar supports your body in a different way, and together they work as one system. In short: chiropractic care supports your nervous system and pelvic balance; sleep and stress reduction help calm your body and support healthy hormone rhythms; nutrition, hydration, and vitamins nourish your cells; movement and cycle-synced exercise build strength without depleting you; and fertility awareness helps you understand your body's signs. None of these is a magic bullet. The power is in how they work together to support your whole-body health.

  • The protocol works best as a whole, since the pillars support one another, but we always meet you where you are. During your first visit, we'll build a plan around your body, your health, and your goals, and help you start with the pieces that matter most for you. Small, consistent steps add up, and we'll guide you the whole way.

  • Yes. While our number one focus is overall preconception health and wellness, we support women and couples navigating many different situations and health conditions on their journey. Wherever you're starting from, our approach is the same: supporting your whole-body health so your body has the strongest possible foundation. If specialized medical care is part of your path, we're glad to support you alongside it.

  • A fertility clinic focuses on medical intervention, and that care has an important place. Our focus is different and complementary: we work on the foundational health that supports your body before, during, and after conception. Many women use our care alongside their medical treatment, and others begin here first. Rather than replacing your medical team, we help you build the healthiest version of you.

  • We want to be honest with you, because you deserve honesty. No protocol, and no provider, can guarantee pregnancy. There are many factors in fertility, and some are beyond anyone's control. What we can promise is this: the work you do here is never wasted. Reducing the stressors and toxins in your environment, nourishing your body, and building health from the ground up is foundational, and it benefits you no matter what your journey holds. A healthier body, a calmer nervous system, and habits that serve you for years are meaningful outcomes in themselves. Whatever path unfolds, you'll have given yourself and your future the strongest possible foundation.

  • Absolutely. While much of our work supports women preparing for pregnancy, the same whole-body care benefits any woman who wants to feel her best. We support women through cycle and hormone-related discomfort, stress and nervous system overload, everyday aches and tension, and overall wellness at every stage of life. Whether or not motherhood is part of your plan, you deserve care that sees and supports the whole you.

We would love to support you, mama.

Your first visit blends comfort with expert, professional care. We begin with a gentle assessment while we get to know you, your birth story, and how you're feeling in your body right now.

From there, we explain each step before moving into soft, gentle care tailored to exactly what you and your baby need. Many mamas are surprised how calm and unhurried it feels, and how much lighter and more supported they walk out than they came in.

However recent your birth, this is a space to slow down, feel cared for, and let your body begin to heal, so you can feel more like yourself again in new motherhood.
