Meet Dr. Hannah
Founder, Chiropractor, & Craniosacral Therapist for Moms + Babies
“I help mothers shift from overwhelm and tension into calm, grounded confidence — so they can feel at home in their bodies and present in their lives.”
Hi, I’m Dr. Hannah — and I’m so glad you’re here.
I guide mothers who have done the emotional and spiritual work and are ready for that healing to land in their bodies — so they can feel rooted, steady, and at peace as they move through motherhood and daily life.
Let’s help your body exhale, your nervous system soften, and your intuition rise — so you can mother from wholeness, not from depletion or survival.
How I Got Here
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply sensitive and empathetic. As a child, that sensitivity often showed up as overwhelm in my body: back pain, headaches, stomach aches. Long before I had language for it, my body was telling the story of stress, emotion, and responsibility I was carrying.
My healing didn’t come from structural care alone. It came through a spiritual and internal healing journey — learning to listen to my body, to honor my relationship with something greater than myself, and to understand that physical symptoms are often messengers, not just mechanical problems to fix.
Guided by that calling to help others find deeper healing, I went all in:
I earned my Doctor of Chiropractic and Master of Science in Human Nutrition, graduating summa cum laude and valedictorian.
I completed a hospital-based residency at a Veterans Affairs hospital affiliated with Yale School of Medicine and the University of Bridgeport, caring for complex musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions in an interdisciplinary setting.
I loved the rigor and evidence-based approach of that work. But I was also noticing something:
Even when symptoms improved on paper, many people still didn’t feel truly well in their everyday lives. There were nervous systems stuck in survival, bodies still bracing, stories still living in tissues.
Motherhood Changed Everything
Becoming a mother was my initiation into an even deeper layer of this work.
My postpartum period was shattering. Despite “doing everything right” and having all the knowledge, I found myself exhausted, overwhelmed, and not fully recognizing myself.
At the same time, my son went through a series of physical and emotional challenges. I knew something wasn’t settling in his body… and I could feel something wasn’t settling in mine either.
In a moment of humility, I reached beyond my usual tools and brought him to a craniosacral therapist.
What happened next felt nothing short of miraculous.
I watched his nervous system soften. I saw his body unwind. I began receiving craniosacral therapy and energy work myself, and the combination of gentle touch, nervous system regulation, and honoring the emotional-spiritual layers of healing changed everything for both of us.
It was the bridge between the deeply evidence-based work I’d done and the intuitive, whole-person healing I always knew was possible.
I started formal training in Dynamic Body Balancing (craniosacral therapy, myofascial unwinding, and biofield energy work), along with specialized training in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic. I realized:
This is the work I’m meant to do.
With moms. With babies. With families.
Why I Created Nurturing Roots Chiropractic
I founded Nurturing Roots Chiropractic, located inside Biggest Little Baby in Reno, NV, to be a loving, restorative space for mothers and babies — especially for thoughtful, growth-oriented moms who have:
done therapy, coaching, or spiritual work
read the books, listened to the podcasts, tried to “do it right”
and still feel tense, wired, sore, or like their body hasn’t caught up with who they’re becoming
My aim is to support you where you are — whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into motherhood with little ones underfoot — and to help your body finally receive the level of care and tending you’ve been offering to everyone else.
At Nurturing Roots Chiropractic, you and your baby are at the center of the healing process. My role is to partner with your body’s wisdom, offer precise and gentle hands-on care, and help you reconnect with the inner compass you may have had to override for far too long.
What it’s like to work together
My work weaves together:
Gentle chiropractic and craniosacral therapy
to release tension, unwind old patterns, and create more ease in your body (and baby’s body)
Nervous system regulation and grounding practices
so your body can feel safer, more resourced, and less reactive in day-to-day lifeSupport for feeding and digestion in babies
including tension patterns that may contribute to painful spit up, gas, constipation, latch challenges, or general discomfortPractical tools for real life with kids
so you can slowly reshape how your body responds in the middle of the chaos — not just on the table
Underneath all of that is a simple intention:
To help you shift from overwhelm and tension into calm, grounded confidence — so you can feel at home in your body, more present with your children, and more connected to your own intuition and identity as a woman.

When I’m not in the office
When I’m not with patients, I’m with my precious family of four. My husband and I are lovers of all things nature. Life has slowed down in many ways since having kids, but whenever we can, you’ll still find us skiing, snowshoeing, camping, hiking, or rock climbing together.
Those moments outdoors — watching my kids explore, feeling the ground under our feet — remind me why this work matters so much. Resourced, grounded mothers change the tone of their homes, their communities, and the future we’re building.
