Mommie-To-Be Smoothie Recipe

NUTRITION CORNER: 

We stress good nutrition for everyone, but it's especially important for expectant mothers.  This nutritious smoothie helps meet the needs of your body and your baby's development.

Here are some of the key nutrients and the recipe to follow:  Spinach for FOLATE (Folic Acid) is needed for blood formation, building body cells and help prevent neural tube defects in the fetus, like Spina Bifida.  Milk & Yogurt for CALCIUM which is needed for bone growth and teeth formation.  Berries for VITAMIN C & IRON.  Iron helps prevent anemia and is necessary for blood formation.  Flax Seeds for OMEGA-3 Oils which help with your baby's brain development.

Happy Mother's Day

Greetings!

Dr. Heidi & Proud Mom

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms we have the honor to treat at InnerMovement! 

 

We're sending this message early because as a mom, I know firsthand that most moms have to get through a lengthy To-Do list before feeling worthy of making time for themselves. Unfortunately, this time rarely comes.  This year, we're hoping that with our encouragement, you'll be inspired to make YOU and your wellness a priority because you're worth it!  Doesn't a visit for a much-needed adjustment and our luxurious heated Bamboo Massage followed by tea time with the girls sounds delightful?  And our nurturing hands are here to provide all that you need to recharge, reconnect and replenish your feminine power. 

 

While at tea, be sure to mention to your pregnant girlfriends that our staff specializes in prenatal chiropractic and massage.  We can ease almost any pregnancy related pain, speed up the birth process and even turn breech babies!  C-section rates are higher in the U.S. than in any other industrialized country, so help the mom's in your life understand that Chiropractic adjustments are gentle & safe and your first choice in healthcare.

 

Until our next adjustment.... 

Yours in health,    

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team
