Healing After Birth: Rebuilding Your Body, Mind & Energy in the 4th Trimester

with Dr. Kara Rangel, local perinatal, postpartum and pediatric chiropractor.

Join us for a nurturing, judgment-free Coffee + Chat Circle designed for new and postpartum moms navigating the 4th trimester. Together, we'll explore natural ways to heal physically and emotionally after birth—from restoring your body and posture to supporting your energy, mood, and feeding journeys. 

Led by Dr. Kara of The Well Chiropractic & Lactation Support, this gathering is part education, part community, and all about validating your experience as you rebuild your strength and confidence. 

Come as you are—messy bun, coffee in hand, baby snuggled close. You're not alone here. 

For parents who want more than just information—who want to step into birth with confidence, trust, and deep connection.

Birth isn’t something you endure. It’s something you move through with power, presence, and trust in yourself.

But let’s be real—most birth education is all about what might happen to you. This workshop is about who you already are and how to harness your two greatest superpowers:

Your intuition—that deep, inner knowing that guides you when you trust it. "No one knows what is best for you and your family more than you!"
Your ability to regulate your nervous system—the key to moving through labor (and parenting) with clarity instead of fear.
