Pediatric Chiropractic Carr

Best part of my job is:
✅helping families learn a holistic spin on what life throws your way.
✅2nd best part is getting hugs, holding babies and kids telling me they play “Dr. Heidi” at home.
✅3rd best part...babies like this one with thighs for days! Deliciously adorable. 🍎🍎🍎

Kids need chiropractic too! Have their spine and pelvis checked as they learn to crawl, walk and run. If they are not crawling normally, butt scooting or using one leg out as a tripod you need to bring them in!!

Ideally we would see them from the start so we can monitor the shape of their head, strength of their neck as they lift it up and make sure they tolerate tummy time. Don’t let your kiddos get a flat head! That tummy time it’s absolutely necessary. As babies learn how to walk they fall a lot. Let’s keep their spine and pelvis in check.

Pediatric chiropractic care is not only extremely gentle but it is important for the growth and development of a child. My favorite thing is teaching children what their body should feel like so they know when something off. We want to equip children with the tools necessary for self-care emotionally and physically!!

Who wants to start their day on the right foot!?

Ever hear that you should start your day with warm lemon water? But do you know WHY?? It stimulates your liver to dump out the toxins, kickstarts your digestive system to get your juices flowing, boosts energy without caffeine and provides antioxidants to keep you youthful. Why WOULDN’T you drink it daily? I also grate in fresh ginger and add a spoonful of ginger juice to aid in digestion and have a heavy dose of anti inflammatory benefit. Try it!

Another year older...another year wiser! I had a great birthday filled with loving messages, flowers, cakes and hugs and kisses. 🎂 🎂 thank you everyone!! You know how to make a gal feel special.

That’s my goal this year-better self care. I’ve only got this one body and I must be kinder to it. I guess that wisdom comes once you no longer can hop out of bed without stretching first!

Huck a buck blues

Brrr. It’s cold and snowy and I’m a lazy lump who doesn’t feel like doing anything but baking and then eating it. Moms...ever wish someone would take of you, feed you a yummy lunch and tuck you in for a nap? That’s where I’m at today. The Tank is at zero. So, today I will listen to my body begging for rest and not ignore the signals. January always seems to catch up with me.

Huck a buck is a bread that is baked in a Waldorf Early Childhood program. It is soooo good right outta the oven! Usually I slather it in honey butter and top with some sliced apples. But today I was craving pumpkin. And I have a recipe for pumpkin butter is was dying to make using my essential oils to bump up the flavor.

Did you know you can use food grade essential oil’s to amplify flavor of your food? There’s only one brand that has it on the market. Young Living. For years I bought food flavoring for brownies and frosting and such at places like Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table. Now I can just use my oils!
​

I used the recipe from the Essential Edge news magazine that Young Living puts out. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients needed for apple pumpkin butter

One 15 ounce can pumpkin
1 3/4 of a cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 of a cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
One cinnamon stick
1 inch piece of freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 2 drops each of cinnamon bark vitality oil, clove vitality oil and nutmeg vitality oil from Young Living

Directions

Bring the pumpkin, apple sauce, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon stick and grated ginger to a simmer in a large sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter thickens, about 45 minutes. Add vanilla and essential oils. Simmer on low for 10 minutes until the butter is desired spreadable consistency. Pour into clean jars, cover and refrigerate. Spread on toast, dip apples into it or eat by the spoonful!

Huck A Buck!!!
​

I attended parent and child programs at my children's Waldorf school for all 3 kids. One of the highlights was the process of kneading the bread dough, smelling it bake while we played then consuming that delicious creation all together as a group. It will be forever stamped on my heart. The smell, the taste and the bond that created with my child and our community. Every time my kids are sick they ask for me to make this for them. I think it reminds them of simpler times too. Print here: https://www.drheidiwellness.com/uploads/6/1/7/5/61752529/huckabuck.pdf

Essence of pesticides?

Think about this... Plants grow in a field. If the farmer sprays the field with chemical laden pesticides then that adheres to the plant. ☠️☠️☠️☠️


When the farmer cuts the plants at harvest time they then head to a distillery with their pesticides still infiltrated on the plant. 🌿🌿🌿🌿


The essential oil is Extracted from the plant material and what do you think comes with it??!🍃🍃🌲🌲🌱🌱🌳🌳🌾🌾🌿🌿


Know your farmer. Trust your farmer. That’s why you get what you pay for. Don’t slather yourself in pesticide laden cheaper essential oils. PLEASE!! Let me help you use the best quality out there. Grab Young Living using my referral link so I can help you.

Happy 2018!! Let me reintroduce myself to ya. I’m Dr. Heidi. I’m one of just a few specialized pediatric chiropractors in Boston who focus exclusively on the holistic care of kids. Why would a kid need to see a chiropractor? Here are some of the most common reasons a parent brings their kids to see me:
​➕newborn latch issues due to jaw misalignment

➕for an alternative evaluation of chronic ear infections
➕ Torticollis and cranial asymmetry
➕butt scooters instead of normal crawling pattern or worse yet, NO crawling
➕ toes turned in or out
➕scoliosis
➕Highly spirited/energetic kids who can’t shut their brain off
➕sports Injuries in teens and migraines.

❤️❤️❤️❤️I say all the time I have the best job in the world! Moms, if you want to consider another option for keeping your kids healthy emotionally and physically then you need to check out chiropractic care. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
