I’ve been listening to podcasts on minimalism while I do housework this week and it’s been a game changer with helping me to look at what we have more critically. Just from this one new habit I’ve been inspired to clear out enough to fill 2 boxes of stuff to donate in the last 10 days. Do you spring clean? And what tips and tricks have helped you with the process? #aspiringminimalist

It’s hard to beat the feeling of a sweet babe trustingly locking eyes with you while you gently align her little spine

When you check your own baby it feels like you are checking yourself Heard this quote today and it totally aligned with how I have been feeling lately! Josh and I have been keeping an eye on some yellow flags that we’ve noticed with Saelah’s alignment and since we picked these up I’ve been struggling to not let me Mama-mode take over my Doctor-mode. People have often asked me So you must check Saelah’s spine like every day? and to that I answer YES it’s hard not to ch...eck your baby’s spine for misalignments whenever you hold her, when your Chiro hands and eyes are trained to pick out any asymmetry. This can be a huge blessing but when it’s your own baby girl that you are checking it can cloud the clinical picture rather than clarify it. All that to say I’ve been finding it difficult to give Saelah the same objective clear attention that I can give all my other patients and so I decided to let Saelah just be the patient and let me just be the Mama and seek out a second opinion from a trusted fellow Female Paeds Chiro in town. Thank you @llola at @altaviehealth for assessing and adjusting my baby girl’s spine today She’s been sleeping like a champ tonight and her latch on both breasts is back to being great! And Saelah feels like SuperWoman (If you cant already tell from this picture) #babychiroforthewin

I do most of my workouts with my tummy hanging out these days to watch for coning / doming of the ab muscles. Getting back into exercise has felt sooo good but has also been a real learning process. Thankful to have had Mel at @mommyberrieshealth helping to teach me how to listen to and love on my pelvic floor and core while I get back into explosive exercise P.S for all my South African and non-Kelowna followers - Did you know that Mel does telehealth appointments so she can help you too!
