Message to Mommas…
Welcome to Messages to Our Mommas—a curated corner of support, encouragement, and practical wisdom for the women doing it all.
Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest—it’s also overwhelming, messy, and filled with a million “am I doing this right?” moments. That’s why we created this space right here in the office: to share short blog-style reads that speak to the real-life experiences of moms in all stages.
From tips on managing stress and sleep deprivation to reminders that you’re not alone, these bite-sized messages are here to make your day a little lighter, your mind a little clearer, and your heart a little fuller.
So take a breath, grab a moment for yourself, and flip through something that’s just for you.
ou're living with a child who may not be able to speak, who struggles to sleep through the night, and who experiences sensory overload that leads to hours of distress. You've watched your little one seem trapped in a nervous system stuck in constant overdrive, while you run on empty, trying to hold everything together.
And through it all, you've probably been told the same thing over and over: "It's genetic. This is just how your child is wired."
But what if there's something deeper—something that actually explains why your child can't connect, can't regulate, and can't develop the way they're meant to?
You're not alone, and more importantly, you're not wrong. There's something crucial missing from your child's healthcare journey – an assessment that could finally reveal the real root cause of their health challenges.
If you're like most parents we meet, you've probably tried behavior charts, talked to counselors, maybe even considered medication for your child's struggles at school, but you're still searching for answers that actually address what's really going on. We totally get it.
If you're like most parents we work with, you've probably tried everything. Behavior modification charts, occupational therapy sessions, dietary changes, calming techniques – yet your child's struggles continue. You've dealt with constant tantrums, sensory meltdowns, and behavioral challenges that seem to come out of nowhere. When your child can only wear certain clothes, has extreme reactions to everyday sounds, or struggles with anxiety that makes simple activities feel impossible, it's exhausting and heartbreaking.
Here's what we want you to know: It's not your fault. And it's not their fault either.
If you've tried every sleep hack, energy drink, supplement, and fitness trend out there—and still feel worn out, foggy, and running on fumes—you're not lazy, and you're not broken. You're likely stuck in survival mode because your nervous system is stuck there, too.
Are you feeling frustrated or even disheartened because your child seemed to be making incredible progress with their neurological challenges, and then suddenly... everything stalled?
If you're like many parents we meet, you've probably tried everything—noise-canceling headphones, watching fireworks from a distance, or even avoiding celebrations altogether. But what if I told you that these well-meaning strategies only address the symptoms, not the actual root cause of your child's sensory overload?
Have you ever noticed how your baby seems perfectly content in your arms, but the moment someone else holds them, the waterworks begin? Or how does your little one somehow sense when you're stressed and respond in kind? Or why healthcare providers prioritize skin-to-skin contact right after birth?
It's the middle of the night, and you're jolted awake by your child's warm forehead and flushed cheeks. Your heart races as you scramble for the thermometer, confirming what you already knew – your child has a fever.
We see you showing up when it’s hard. We see you prioritizing your health while managing a hundred other things. We see you being intentional about your care so you can better care for your children. And we see the ripple effect of that choice—not just in your body, but in your energy, your patience, and your joy.
Motherhood is an excessive amount of responsibilities, from caring for our children to managing household chores, work commitments, and more. It often feels like there needs to be more hours in the day to accomplish everything on our to-do lists.
