Congratulations to our Winning "Mother-of-the-Year"

After reading our entries for the Mother of the Year contest, I was so happy to surprise the Winning Mom! Her own mother, who praised her daughter for overcoming many obstacles in raising her child, nominated her. Her story sang of perserverance and dedication of this deeply committed mother who has given her child a warm home filled with love and laughter.

In celebration of her efforts, the team at InnerMovement will be pampering her and sending Maid in the U.S.A. to clean and sparkle up her home.

Each day at InnerMovement I meet mothers worthy of honoring. Moms who care enough to get adjusted during pregnancy so that birth can be easier for baby. Moms who bring in their little one's for spinal checkups after their first big fall and insist on the whole family getting adjusted, knowing the adjustment will help keep them strong and healthy. Mothers who have raised wonderful children and only now have the time to tend to themselves. I'm so proud and it is the highest honor to treat all of the mothers at our wellness center. Happy Mothers Day to you!

Until our next adjustment...

Yours in health,

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team

Self-discovery and Emotional Healing Leads to the True You

As the season turns and flowers bloom, newness begins to surround us. During this time I am reminded of the importance of having newness within. If we have not spent time unraveling our childhood experiences and wounds, how can we ever say it's a fresh new day? For example, if a child has lost a parent, a feeling of abandonment may often carry into adulthood. This may express itself as a deep feeling of longing for someone or something to fill that void. This "past" wound is likely to lead to "present" relationship problems or issues such as overeating or overspending. When we ignore our childhood wounds indefinitely, our bodies can even begin to express our emotional pains physically.

We all carry the risk of getting stuck in patterns of automatic reactions from our past experiences and from this place we are unable to fully enjoy the beauty that exists in the moment. Thankfully every one of us has the opportunity to peel away the layers in order to become present to the newness within. And while it may be challenging, this process of self-discovery and emotional healing leads to the true you...the best you!

Until our next adjustment...

Yours in health,

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team

Don't Let Your New Year's Resolutions Fade Away

Greetings!

At this point many of us are starting to feel the hopeful aspirations of our New Year's resolutions fade away. Beyond that many of us may be once again putting ourselves down for our glaring imperfections. Striving for perfection seems to be one of the most accepted illusions of our time.

Trying to be the perfect parent, coworker, spouse or to have the perfect body, status or income is an obsession each of us suffer from on one level or another. But the truth is that this perfection we all unconsciously seek will never arrive nor was it meant to. Imperfection is part of our design. Light cannot be without darkness, peaks do not exist without valleys, yin must be balanced by yang.

But knowing this is only the first step. Accepting it and therefore accepting ourselves in all of our imperfection is the ultimate freeing destination. A tree grows, its leaves fall, its fruit ripens than rots. But the tree does not worry when its leaves are brown and wrinkly nor when its fruit is turning to soil. We are not trees, but just as nature reflects we too are meant to experience seasons as well as peaks and valleys.

So with your resolutions, goals and growth this year, just do your best everyday and allow that to be perfect. Consider your body's aches and pains and imperfections the same way. Your path to wellness will have its good days and its bad as long as your on the path that is enough. Until our next adjustment...

Yours in health,

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team

Happy St. Valentine's Day

Greetings!

From my heart to yours!

It is said that St. Valentine chose to suffer death rather than renounce his religious principles. Stories of suffering are common throughout history and one could say that St Valentine was a wise man, brave and heroic for sacrificing everything in the name of his belief. Perhaps stories such as this have left the impression on us that suffering is brave and heroic, which may explain why so many of us choose to live our lives in pain or discomfort.

The truth is that we are meant to live to our fullest potential, which should not include pain and suffering.

I believe that we were each born to fulfill a specific purpose and suffering with back pain can be one of the biggest distractions from that purpose as it affects our entire well-being. There is nothing romantic or heroic about continuing to suffer from any type of pain (be it physical, emotional or spiritual) when there is someone compassionately willing and able to help.

It is my heartfelt intent to facilitate your body in eliminating pain. To connect with you in such a way that you understand your value and continue to take care of your spine and nervous system. Don't be a martyr. Don't suffer needlessly. Take responsibility for your health and by doing so, your first step on the path to wellness. Until our next adjustment...

Yours in health,

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team

Making the most of your Health Insurance

This post is just to remind you that some of your insurance benefits may run out at the end of this month. Many insurance policies give you a certain amount of care each year. If you do not take advantage of this benefit during the year, you will lose the benefit.


Other policies pay a greater portion of your treatments if you receive the care before the end of the year. For example, if you have already paid your deductible amount for the year, you will not need to pay this deductible amount again this year. If you wait and see us next year, you will need to pay the deductible amount again before your insurance company will resume paying.



Also, if you have pre-paid into your Health Savings account through your employer, you can come in to redeem it, or put a payment on your account with us to be used at a later time.



We are happy to help you figure out what benefits you are entitled to with your insurance or you can call your insurance company or HR director for help.


If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (818) 549-1300.
Thank you,


InnerMovement Chiropractic
