Pre- and post-natal services focus on the evolving journey of women as they enter their childbearing years, transition into motherhood, and rediscover themselves during menopause. Each phase in a woman’s life is sacred, and Dr. Angela encourages women to embrace each season for its unique beauty and transformative qualities.


Over the past decade, Dr. Angela has collaborated with various midwives to understand the evolving physical needs of women throughout each trimester of pregnancy and into the postpartum period. Her training includes extensive knowledge of the pelvic floor and the necessary steps for proper healing after childbirth. Additionally, she has completed over 300 hours in functional medicine, enabling her to support women in improving their gut health during pregnancy, which scientific research shows can influence the baby’s DNA and overall quality of life.


Did you know that newborns might also benefit from adjustments? Although the birthing process is beautiful, it can be quite traumatic for infants. Chiropractic adjustments can be transformative in the early postpartum months, helping both mother and baby’s nervous systems adapt to their new environment. Dr. Angela specializes in specific adjustment techniques for pediatric patients, as well as nutritional counseling, to alleviate colic, gas, torticollis, shoulder dystocia, constipation, and more.


Dr. Angela offers many services to help women embrace their ever-changing bodies:

Pelvic floor rehab done at home

Honoring the Journey, Healing Yourself Through Pelvic Floor Retraining Guide:This online guide is perfect for any woman who is postpartum, whether your little ones are now toddlers or you’ve just given birth. Strengthening the pelvic floor is essential after carrying a child for nine months and as you continue to care for them outside the womb. Did you know that a weak pelvic floor can impact your overall outlook on life? It’s true! The pelvic floor is closely connected to the diaphragm, and when we struggle to engage it and the surrounding tissues, it can significantly affect our posture, breathing patterns, and nervous system. his is why I developed a guide titled “Honoring the Journey.” The experience of pregnancy doesn’t end with childbirth; as mothers, we need to learn how to strengthen what has expanded and embrace the transformation of motherhood. If you’re looking to boost your stamina, alleviate pain, or even rewire your nervous system to fully embrace your motherhood journey, then this program is for you.




Littles Adjustments: This service is ideal for children ages 0-10. Dr. Angela employs a gentle, low-force adjustment technique to assist those who may have difficulties transitioning through milestones, experience chronic ear infections, struggle with constipation, have sleep issues, exhibit signs of gait dysfunction, have suffered a fall, or are seeking to support healthy growth and development.
