Dr. Maria loves to see babies as early as minutes after birth. Birth is a wild ride for a baby even in a normal vaginal birth without interventions! It is even more stressful in a birth with lots of intervention and/or a c-section. My goal is to help set the tone for your baby to have the best possible foundation for life. Dr. Maria will check their spine, cranium and intraoral tissues to help unwind any stress or trauma. The nerves from the lower spine can help with better digestion and often adjustments release the flow in constipated babies (even during the adjustment!). The nerves from the upper spine go to all of the nerves in the head and neck as well as into our visceral organs, so getting that adjusted (with the pressure of checking the ripeness of a tomato) helps baby to latch better, sleep better, poop better, be less colicky/cranky, relax more, and overall supports them to be a happy and healthy baby!
We will talk a LOT about how to support you and baby to have successful breastfeeding and learn a ton about it. Dr. Maria will also check the cranium and inside the mouth for tethered oral tissues (tongue/lip tie) as well as anything contributing to tension/restriction in the mouth that might be making breastfeeding more challenging. She works closely with an IBCLC & Craniosacral Therapist, as well as a Pediatric Dentist if outside support is needed.
"Dr. Maria is a dream to work with! 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."

Welcome to Bee Well Chiropractic
Hi, I’m Dr. Maria!
Chiropractic is amazing for those with neurodivergence such as ADD, autism and sensory processing issues. Let’s work together to help turn these quirks into superpowers! Gentle adjustments help to calm their nervous system which allows them to properly perceive, adapt, function and behave even amidst an environment full of stimuli. Chiropractic care can help them focus better in school, have better digestion and emotional regulation, gain better social skills and thrive more! Is your child’s nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, increased sympathetic tone? Do they seem wound-up? Do they have big challenges with learning, behavior, socialization or development? Do you need a quiet and private space when your child comes in? We are happy to accommodate. Give us a call and let’s talk about it.
Support with Neurodivergence
Let’s help strengthen your kiddos immune system!! One of Dr. Maria’s favorite things to tell parents is about how Chiropractic helps ear infections. Did you know that when you are born your eustachian tube is flat and horizontal? This is why it is so common for kids to have ear infections. As we grow, that tube becomes vertical and opens up more. Infections are a drainage issue! Antibiotics just deplete the gut flora and fauna which can decrease their ability to digest as well as decrease immune function. Getting them adjusted will ensure that the nerve that goes to the inner ear is functioning properly so that the eustachian tube can drain. Kids who get adjusted have much stronger immune systems and have less asthma, allergies, bed wetting and constipation/diarrhea.
Immune System Strengthening
We love to support babies as they move through the stages of development and as their body adapts and learns new skills such as rolling, crawling and walking. These gross motor skills are actually the foundation of brain development! It is crucial that babies go through each stage. If we miss stages it can lead to challenges as a toddler and young child such as difficulty with emotional regulation, learning, socialization or development. Like adults, these stressors stack up, and children become locked in survival mode affecting their ability to thrive in school and life. Dr. Maria’s mission is to ensure children are fully capable of expressing their potential. Through pediatric chiropractic care, she detects blockages that might be limiting their full expression, often before symptoms ever show up. Your child is meant to shine, and it is a privilege to help them do that!
Milestones & Development
parents bring in their babies and children for pediatric chiropractic for a multitude of reasons including:
When it comes to kiddos, optimal health and wellness is more than the absence of disease or symptoms.

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.

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.

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.

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 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
