Report
I have been having Chiro with Amanda at chiropractic moves since late 2020. I was referred through my midwife for back and pelvic pain in my 2nd trimester. Amanda is amazing! She eased my pain dramatically in my very first session and has worked on me through my many ongoing issues from 3rd trimester, postpartum and still now, working with me to ease my back pain associated with breastfeeding.
Amanda also helped me with my pelvic positioning which I believe had a huge impact on the position of my baby and my overall positive birth experience. I highly recommend Amanda.

Amanda took care of me during pregnancy and early postpartum. Amanda has always been very warm, nurturing and educational in her approach. She is gentle yet effective, and felt very safe in her hands. She was also brilliant with our little bub. Thank you for your care.
