Thanks for stopping by, I’m Dr. Melonie! I have been an obsessive nerd for as long as I can remember.  This nerdiness revolved around the human body and how amazing it is.  Everything about pregnancy and babies seemed like absolute magic to me and I intentionally designed my life from a very young age to be the kind of MOM and WIFE that I wanted to be. Today, I get to live that dream with my husband and two littles. 

 

I wanted a career that would teach me how to have the healthiest kids while giving me the freedom to design my workspace, hours and clientele around my priorities - so I became a CHIROPRACTOR.  

 

At the lowest point of my breastfeeding journey a dairy farmer (who happened to be my dad) gave me better breastfeeding advice than any of the “professionals” I was listening to.  That’s when I decided to become an IBCLC (international board certified lactation consultant).

 

Becoming a lactation consultant was not on my to do list.  In fact, it was never a desire of mine.  I didn’t exactly love breastfeeding but it was non-negotiable for me.  It was happening!  My grit ended up producing success and a pretty darn joyful experience and I so badly wanted to make it easier for other moms. A healthy breastfeeding journey is one of the biggest ways we can start a positive cascade of healthy choices that stops so many of the ailments and illnesses that children and adults are dealing with today.

 

Chiropractic and lactation support make a wonderful marriage because chiropractic care allows us to determine and treat the root cause of latch issues. My dream is that one day every new mom has access to a one-stop-shop where they value well fed babies, well adjusted families, and well supported communities.  So Mama, what are you waiting for? Let’s help you BEGIN WELL.
