S2E32 Tension & Tongue Ties: One Chiropractor Mama’s Journey
Description
In this heartfelt episode, We're joined once again by chiropractor and fellow mama, Dr. Sarah Shepherd, to talk about her journey navigating early motherhood with her little one — including the unexpected challenges that came with a tongue tie diagnosis.
She opens up about the emotional toll of those early weeks, how it impacted feeding and sleep, and what ultimately helped her find clarity and support. As both a mother and a practitioner, she shares her unique perspective on how body tension and oral ties can influence a baby’s ability to feed and settle — and how chiropractic care can play a gentle, supportive role.
Whether you're currently in the thick of it or just want to feel seen and supported, this conversation is a validating reminder that you're not alone — and that it's okay to follow your instincts, ask questions, and seek care that aligns with your values.
