our approach

Our Approach

Your body is designed to heal. We support this process by calming the stress response and restoring optimal movement for health in three key ways:

restoring spinal mobility

Gentle adjustments improve how the spine and nervous system communicate, reducing tension and inflammation.

decreasing tension in the myofascial system

Soft-tissue release restores flexibility, posture, and the ease of full breathing.

improving craniosacral respiratory rhythm:

Light touch to the fascia around the cranial bones + ligaments of the tailbone help normalize the fluid rhythm around the brain and spinal cord, supporting calm, sleep, feeding, and overall balance.

When these systems move in harmony, your body has more capacity to move, heal, regulate, and thrive.

how does this differ from traditional chiropractic care

there are over 100 chiropractic techniques, and all are beneficial for certain populations.

here, we focus on something unique.

utilizing low force adjustments with sustained pressure (like melting butter with your finger), gentle massage, stretching, instrument-assisted adjusting, and other techniques we are able to release patterns that are restricting optiamal movement. These address ligamentous, muscular, fascial adhesions within and around the spine and connective tissue through the body.

While traditional adjusting techniques care occasionally be indicated, we find that less is more, and that when we give your body just the right impulse at just the right time, we can wake up the body's ability to release tension on it's own, all without much force at all.

Nervous System Regulation

Pediatrics + Optimal Development

The nervous system is the master control center of the body. When we experience chronic stress, the brain has a hard time shifting from fight/flight/freeze into rest/digest/recover/connect. By releasing tension from the spine, cranium, and craniosacral fascial network, we allow the body to function with greater ease and resiliency.

The adjustments are safe and effective. We help with poor posture, tongue tie tension, behavioral issues, poor sleep, constipation, difficulty concentrating, frequent illnesses

Frequently Asked Questions

what is nervous system based chiropractic?

This means that we are evaluating how compression, tension, and distortion patterns in the joints, muscles, ligaments, and fascia can affect the nervous system and how the body holds stress.

When the body is stressed it doesn't heal as well. This applies to babies and adults. When we adjust, we aren't just focusing on improving movement, we are also focusing on regulating the nervous system.

This combined approach allows for faster + more sustained results, as well as care that feels honoring to your body instead fo care that feel invasive or causes your body to protect + tighten more.

what is your approach?

Dr. Sarah is trained in multiple techniques that seek to evaluate tension and compression patterns in the body that are impacting communication within the autonomic nervous system.

This is because the body is a bio-tensegrity structure, which means that the if one area of the body is compressed, another area is distorted. So, we don't only want to work on the compensating and symptomatic areas of the body, we want to find the root of where that is coming from.

what training do you have?

Dr. Sarah is a Board Certified Doctor of Chiropractic and trained at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia. She graduated in 2020 and received the Clinical Excellence Award at her graduation. She has always had a passion for pregnancy and pediatrics and has continuously pursued further education in these fields to better help her patients. When she is not in practice, you can find her sharing all about chiropractic on her instagram + attending various seminars to better support her clients.

how long does it take to see results?

Most people see a noticeable change after 1-2 visits, in general, we recommend giving it at least six sessions before deciding if this process is a good fit for you. The earliest changes are usually more mobility, a change or improvement in symptoms, and feeling calmer or more relaxed as a sign of your nervous system being more regulated.

Longer results like postural changes + global spinal alignment can take six to twelve months.

what we stand for

My Intention

To provide a space of healing and community where people are encouraged and supported to connect deeply with themselves + each other so that they can experience the fullest expression of health and live out the life they were created for.

a different kind of chiropractic

Dr. Sarah focuses on tonal, or nervous system focused care, which means that unlike many other chiropractors who focus on adjusting the spine to affect the muscles + nervous system, Dr. Sarah's approach is to evaluate where there is tension within the nervous system, so the body can release tension through the spine, muscles, and fascial sytem. Because the nervous system is the master control center of the body, this can have more effects beyond just pain relief. The goal of tonal chiropractic is not to reduce symptoms, but to support healing.

empowered health

Dr. Sarah is a believer in root cause healing + she acknowledges and accepts that there are many "root causes" to dis-ease. Chiropractic helps to connect parts of you that your body has been unable to integrate. These disconnected parts of you affect the communication pathways between the brain and the body, creating static in the messaging signals + impacting your body's ability to heal.

We focus on foundational healing, meaning we provide education to support your body with the ingredients to create health. The ingredients In your life are physical, chemical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and environmental. By reconnecting with our human design, you can 10x the results you see in this office + truly change your health and life trajectory from one of symptom control, to truly thriving + living out your life's purpose.
