Fully Alive - Family Chiropractic sunshine and wellness

At Fully Alive Family Chiropractic, we’re redefining what it means to raise a healthy family.

We want to help you connect the dots between what your child is experiencing and what’s happening in their body and brain. Our gentle chiropractic care supports the nervous system so kids can sleep, grow, learn, and thrive. And for moms who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or simply ready to support their kids and themselves before problems begin, we see you. We are you. And we’re here to help.

This is a judgment-free zone where kids are embraced, and moms are celebrated.

We’re not surprised when a child is wiggly or has big feelings. In fact, we welcome it.
We’ll hold your baby while you get adjusted. We’ll play peekaboo while you take a breath.
We’ve created a space where your kids can become the best version of themselves—and you can, too.

OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE:

  • When your child’s brain and body are out of sync, it can show up as sleepless nights, meltdowns, or constant frustration. Gentle, brain-based chiropractic care (from birth and beyond) can unlock calmer moods, better focus, smoother digestion, and the milestones you’ve been waiting for. Our tonal adjustment techniques gives the nervous system the exact type of input it needs to unwind tension, shift out of fight-or-flight, and access calmer, more regulated brain states.

    • Fewer meltdowns
    • Better emotional regulation
    • Improved focus and attention
    • More restful sleep
    • Prevent childhood development issues before they can start
    • Behavior
    • Digestion/constipation
    • Managing hyperactivity
    • Developmental milestones
    • Dyslexia, processing challenges, or focus difficulties
    • Exhaustion, overwhelm, or fatigue
    • Anxiety, anger, or depression
    • Socialization, behavior, or connecting challenges
    • More confidence and ease in daily life

    Because the gentle, tonal approach works with the brain’s wiring, it is safe and effective for kids with sensory challenges, ADHD, autism-spectrum needs, anxiety, and kids who are simply overwhelmed.

  • Pregnancy is beautiful — but it can also bring discomfort, stress, and sleepless nights. Gentle, brain-based chiropractic care helps balance your hormones, align your body, and calm your nervous system so you can experience an easier pregnancy, smoother birth, and faster postpartum recovery — while giving your baby the healthiest possible start.

  • Support your child’s development— specifically, simply, and playfully. The Brain Blossom™ Clinical Program is built around what we already know—that brain development happens in stages, and sometimes those stages get interrupted or skipped. This can lead to what we call Neuro-Deflective Behaviors™, commonly seen as learning struggles, emotional dysregulation, social difficulty, and sensory challenges.

    Brain Blossom is designed to help kids revisit those skipped steps through short, intuitive, and appropriately paced exercises and learning games, so they can process, learn, and connect more wholly and effectively.

    Individualized levels and tracks for each child are paced appropriately to match their needs and progress. We have certified staff members who will train and assist you in leading in-office exercises, and provide you with an app so you can continue to assist your child at home.

    …Brain Blossom gives you a path forward that makes sense—without overwhelming you or your child.

    Known Benefits Include:

    • More eye contact
    • Less frustration
    • More joy
    • less meltdowns
    • improved balance and coordination
    • regulation, attention, or learning
    • Experiencing big emotions or social overwhelm
    • Dealing with sensory challenges or stress responses

  • Wellness Begins with Knowledge! Discover how to help your family thrive—naturally.

    With topics ranging from stress and sleep to nutrition and brain-body balance—our workshops provide you with real, actionable steps toward lasting wellness. Come learn, connect, and leave inspired to live Fully Alive every day.

    Our Weekly Wellness Workshops are held every Tuesday, providing a consistent opportunity to deepen your understanding of health and wellness, and giving you more tools to get well faster and stay well longer.

    If your child is part of our Brain Blossom Program, you’ll receive ongoing education and support every step of the way. This includes developmental workshops, monthly parenting newsletters, Q&A videos with right-now strategies, and brain-based parent coaching. You won’t be walking this journey alone — we’re in it with you, helping your family learn & thrive.

OUR ADJUSTMENT TECHNIQUES

  • Our adjustments are gentle, precise, and work with the nervous system’s electrical patterns — similar to how you barely touch a phone screen, yet it responds completely. These techniques are safe, effective, and ideal for newborns, sensory-sensitive kids, pregnant moms, and anyone who prefers a low-force approach.

    Even if you’ve loved traditional, high-force chiropractic in the past, we invite you to be open to how profoundly gentle tonal work can shift the body.

    These techniques help:

    • Unwind stored stress
    • Improve brain-body communication
    • Calm the fight-or-flight response
    • Increase adaptability
    • Support healing from the inside out

    No bracing. No fear. No force.

    Just gentle input that allows the body to do exactly what it was designed to do: communicate, heal and thrive naturally.

  • Birth is beautiful — but it is also one of the most physically stressful events a baby will ever experience. Even in gentle, uncomplicated births, newborns can experience tension patterns in the head, neck, and nervous system. These early months are a critical window because a baby’s brain doubles in size during the first year of life. During this rapid growth, the brain depends on clear, calm, coordinated input from the body to wire and organize properly.

    The Cranial Techniques uses gentle pressure to release tension and restore ease in the cranial bones, fascia, and dural system. Cranial movement directly affects the developing nervous system — and can influence how well a baby feeds, settles, sleeps, and grows.

    Many parents in our office notice improvements in areas such as:

    • Nursing and latch challenges
    • Tongue- or lip-tie tension
    • Head shape or symmetry
    • Developmental milestones
    • Congestion or drainage issues
    • Irritability or difficulty settling
    • Sleep quality
    • Overall nervous system calm and regulation

    Every baby is unique in their results, but cranial care helps set the stage for optimal brain development during this important time.

  • The chiropractors at Fully Alive are certified in the Webster Technique, the gold standard for pregnancy chiropractic care.

    This gentle method helps:

    • Balance the pelvis
    • Reduce ligament tension
    • Support comfortable alignment
    • Make more room for baby
    • Ease back, hip, and pubic bone pain
    • Support a smoother labor and delivery

    The Webster Technique does not turn babies. Instead, it reduces tension so baby has the space and ease to move into the best possible position on their own.

    Pregnancy is a season of incredible physical and emotional change — and chiropractic helps the body adapt with more comfort, strength, and peace.
