Highlights from Our Birth + Beyond Workshop: Building Confident, Connected Birth Experiences

Introduction

If there’s one thing we love most about our work at Solstice Chiropractic, it’s creating space where moms, families, and birth professionals come together — not just to learn, but to connect.

Our Birth + Beyond Workshop this week was exactly that: a room filled with laughter, learning, and lightbulb moments as we explored how the nervous system plays a vital role in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.

It was a beautiful reminder that birth doesn’t have to be something to fear — when the body feels safe, calm, and connected, it can do exactly what it was designed to do.

A Night of Connection and Education

Our goal for this workshop was simple: to help moms and families understand how to work with their bodies rather than against them.

We shared stories, demonstrations, and practical tools to help parents see birth through a new lens — one that’s rooted in trust, calm, and connection.

A few of the biggest takeaways from the night included:

1. The Nervous System Drives Birth

When the nervous system is stressed or dysregulated, the body shifts into survival mode — tightening muscles, slowing labor, and creating tension.
But when it’s calm and balanced, communication between the brain and body flows freely. This allows contractions, hormones, and positioning to coordinate naturally.

2. The Webster Technique Creates Space for Baby

We discussed the gentle, specific adjustments used in the Webster Technique, which help balance the pelvis and relax the ligaments that support the uterus. This not only improves comfort for mom but can help baby find the best position for birth.

3. Chiropractic Care Extends Beyond Pregnancy

Many families learned how prenatal adjustments support birth — but also how postpartum and pediatric care help babies and moms regulate, recover, and thrive together after delivery.

One mom said, “I wish I had known about this during my first pregnancy. It just makes so much sense now.”

Moments like that are exactly why this work matters.

Empowering Birth Without Fear

One of the most emotional parts of the evening came during our discussion of fear in birth — and how education and regulation can completely change that narrative.

When a mom understands her body’s design and feels supported by her care team, she no longer sees birth as something to survive, but as something to experience.

We talked about how chiropractic care helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the body’s built-in “rest and digest” mode — which promotes calm, lowers tension, and enhances connection.

A calm nervous system helps the body trust the process of labor. And a mom who feels safe and supported can fully embrace the sacred experience of bringing life into the world.

Building a Stronger Birth Community in Colorado Springs

This workshop wasn’t just about moms — it was also about strengthening the birth community here in Colorado Springs.

We were joined by amazing birth workers — doulas, midwives, pelvic floor PTs, and lactation consultants — all dedicated to helping families thrive.
Together, we explored how collaboration between these professionals creates more comprehensive, compassionate care for families.

When birth workers unite around the same goal — supporting the nervous system and honoring the body’s natural design — moms feel more confident, and babies get the healthiest possible start.

Birth is better when no one walks it alone — and Colorado Springs is building that kind of village.

Gratitude for the Families We Serve

We’re deeply grateful for everyone who came to learn, connect, and share their stories with us. Watching families light up as they discover how powerful their bodies truly are is something we’ll never take for granted.

The Birth + Beyond Workshop was more than an event — it was a reminder of why we do what we do. Every adjustment, every scan, every conversation helps move a family closer to the life they were designed to live: calm, connected, and thriving.

As we move into the second half of the month, we’re carrying that same spirit of connection forward through our Gift of Health campaign — a way for families to share this experience with someone they love.

Because the best gift you can give is the chance for another family to experience health, hope, and healing.
