MEET OUR EXPERTS

Our experts will be available to answer any of your questions about baby, motherhood, and beyond.

 

MemorialCare : MemorialCare is an award-winning health system with 4 hospitals + medical groups in Southern California.

 

Fika Newborn : Fika – an essential part of Swedish culture – symbolizes slowing down, reconnecting with yourself and those closest to you, and replenishing your cup on a deeper level. At Fika Newborn, whether you’re preparing to have your first baby or your fourth, we believe bringing this life-enhancing ritual to the postpartum world can nourish your experience for the better. We offer daytime & overnight services in addition to virtual sleep consultations and newborn education.

 

Anointed Births : Here at Anointed Births, we believe in empowering women to reconnect with their intuition and instinctive birthing abilities. Our unique approach centers around guiding women back to their God-given abilities, ensuring a holistic experience that extends beyond pregnancy, labor, and birth. We are dedicated to equipping women with the type of support that not only prepares them for childbirth but also enables them to navigate the beautiful realm of motherhood with confidence, excitement, and grace. Join us on this transformative path as we support you in embracing the natural power within you to birth and nurture your precious babies.

 

Calahan Family Chiropractic : My name is Dr. Danielle ‘Dani’ Calahan, DC and I am a perinatal and pediatric chiropractor and a mom of 2! I love working with families to help them feel well throughout their journeys. I have taken an extra 200-hour certification on perinatal and pediatric adjusting through the ICPA to effectively care for this special population. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can be beneficial for the normal physiological function of the mother and baby. During pregnancy, chiropractic care focuses on alignment and balance in the musculoskeletal structures of the pelvis. Proper pelvic alignment helps the mother have an easier pregnancy and can also ease the birth process! This is done through the Webster technique, which is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments. This optimizes uterine function and allows for a safer, easier birth.

 

Unfiltered Therapy: We are a team of therapists committed to transparency and results. We work collaboratively with our patients, holding them accountable as we support them in meeting their goals.

 

Healing Light Family Acupuncture : At Healing Light Family Acupuncture in Fountain Valley and Lake Forest, we are an acupuncture clinic that offers energy healing, fertility assistance, pregnancy, labor and postpartum services.

 

Tracy Tran Pediatric Dentistry : Dr. Tran is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist who specializes in infant & pediatric oral ties, as well as pediatric sleep issues. Since being in private practice, Dr. Tran has focused her continuing education on pediatric tethered oral tissue (TOTs) and its relationship with oral dysfunction in order to diagnose orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs). This includes difficulties with infant nursing, toddler feeding & swallowing, speech articulation, and pediatric sleep disordered breathing. She has successfully treated these patients through a collaborative team approach, and continues to expand her knowledge and experience in this niche specialty.

 

Mama Goose Postpartum: Birth and Postpartum Doula offering prenatal and postpartum support, and education including lactation, babywearing, and car seat education/installation for all families in Orange County. I believe finding the perfect fit shouldn’t be a fairytale.
