At Bee Well Chiropractic, we believe many people never discover
what their body is truly capable of because no one ever cleared the path.
Dr. Maria DeCosse has spent her career doing exactly that. For pregnant mamas who want more than just surviving nine months. For babies navigating their first days in the world. For families who are ready to stop chasing symptoms and start living well.
When the nervous system is clear and the body is free from interference, incredible things happen. Pregnancies get easier. Babies sleep, latch, and settle. Families thrive. This is what chiropractic care was always meant to be.
Nevada City's home for pregnancy, infant, and family chiropractic care.

What if pregnancy felt good?
What if your baby arrived into ease?
"She helped keep me balanced throughout my pregnancy and now with my newborn, she's been working wonders with my baby's tight latch, jaw, and shoulders. My little girl literally becomes unwound before my eyes in our sessions. It's quite miraculous to witness."

Babies
Who we care for:
Kids
Kids are in a constant state of becoming. Every fall, every growth spurt, every late night, every emotional meltdown, every hour hunched over a screen... it all lives somewhere in the body. Chiropractic care helps their nervous systems process, adapt, and keep up with the extraordinary pace of childhood.
Parents are often surprised by what shifts after just a few visits. Better sleep. Improved focus. A calmer, more regulated kid. Less frequent illness. A body that bounces back faster.
Children respond to chiropractic care beautifully. Their nervous systems are adaptable, their bodies are responsive, and they tend to love the process.
Common reasons families bring their kids in: ear infections, growing pains, postural issues, toe walking, bed wetting, behavioral concerns, trouble sleeping, developmental delays, speech issues, sports injuries, and preventive wellness care.
Laser Therapy
Sometimes the body needs a little extra support to fully let go. That is where laser therapy comes in.
Our low level light therapy works at the cellular level, supporting your body's natural healing process from the inside out. It reduces inflammation, calms an overactive nervous system, and helps tissues repair at a deeper level than adjustments alone can reach.
The applications are wider than most people expect. We use it to support gut healing, post-concussion recovery, and nervous system regulation in both kids and adults. It is one of the most powerful tools we have for children dealing with neurological challenges, and for anyone whose body needs a little extra encouragement to shift out of a stuck pattern.
Gentle, non-invasive, and deeply relaxing. It pairs beautifully with chiropractic care and most patients notice a difference quickly.

Bring your baby to Dr. Maria! Dr. Maria provided exceptional care for my newborn daughter, who was struggling with oral ties. Her expertise and gentle approach with babies were evident from the start. She skillfully adjusted my daughter which helped with latching and nursing, ensuring she could build up strength before her tongue tie release procedure. Dr. Maria's compassionate and effective care made a significant difference in our breastfeeding journey and my daughter’s torticollis. Her beautiful head shape and all the tiny blessings in between is all due to this woman’s magical healing hands. I highly recommend Dr. Maria for anyone seeking pediatric chiropractic care, especially for issues related to oral ties. -Emily N.
"I highly recommend Dr. Maria for anyone seeking pediatric chiropractic care"
We have been seeing Dr.Maria for our Little One for a few months starting at 6 months old. She is WONDERFUL! As a mother to feel so welcomed, heard, validated and supported in the medical field is unfortunately hard to come by and something not even money can buy. She delivers every time and seeing even the slightest improvements make the investment worthwhile. Each little graduation to less frequent visits are bittersweet ❤️ I cannot recommend her enough. -Kristina E.
"I cannot recommend her enough"
My 9 year old son had chronic debilitating stomach pains for two months. After several emergency room visits and a 5 day hospital stay with no answers, we decided to try something different. I can’t speak highly enough of Bee Well Chiropractic, in a week of care my son was starting to feel better and returning to his normal activities. After a month of adjustments he no longer had pain, and back to his normal self. - Jennifer B

She has guided me through sports injuries, work stress and the aches and pains from overdoing it in everyday life. Dr. Maria is a healer, an educator and a vital part of my overall health and well being. – Gina W.

My son first saw Dr. Maria when he was seven weeks old. He was jaundice, colicky, gassy, didn’t sleep much and had terrible reflux. Within hours of his first visit, the jaundice faded completely out of his body. Over the next few weeks of care with Dr. Maria, he became a much more relaxed and happy baby. Dr. Maria noticed that he was possibly tongue tied and referred us to an IBCLC. She confirmed the tongue and lip ties and referred us to a pediatric dentist for oral tie release. We did several weeks of chiropractic care with Dr. Maria then had his ties released. With the help of Dr. Maria, his recovery went very smooth. His body has responded very well and he is happy and thriving now. I highly recommend Dr. Maria! - Kallie M.

She is truly one of a kind Doctor. My experience with her has been nothing but amazing. I have been adjusted by many different chiropractors, and her knowledge and adjusting skills are top notch. She is gentle, but delivers very powerful adjustments, which makes you feel an immediate difference in your mind and body. I highly recommend anybody in the area to get under care with her, you will not regret it! – Cristina A.
"Dr. Maria has such a big and beautiful heart, which radiates in her practice and her adjusting skills."
She saw me during my pregnancy and now sees my newborn and is a baby whisperer! She is so gentle and soft spoken. I could not recommend Dr. Maria more! If you're expecting, have a little one, or just needing help to feel better, come see Dr. Maria, you will thank yourself! – Megan P.
"Dr. Maria is a baby whisperer!"
Her adjustments, exercise videos and suggestions really helped me get unstuck, not only in my spine, but in my life. It’s amazing how holistically connected everything is, and I’m grateful to have a chiropractor on my team that understands this so deeply. Thanks Dr. Maria! She also has an amazing booking system for easily scheduling a session whenever I need one, right from my phone. Nice office with a space to stretch and roll out my back. - Blair B.

"Dr. Maria is a dream to work with!"
Dr. Maria helped my body feel better in so many ways during my pregnancy and into postpartum. She’s the most thorough chiropractor I’ve worked with and has a wide range of techniques. She helped solve some major discomfort happening during the third trimester of pregnancy and that work contributed to a smooth and positive labor and delivery. And then she came to my aid in the early days of postpartum and helped correct sciatica and back pain. Thank you Dr. Maria! -Aletheia Z
