Prenatal Chiropractic Care: The Dynamic Approach
Moms Deserve More
We as clinicians need to be better for the mamas that we are treating.
As a chiropractor, you have the potential to be a leader in the field of women's health.
Why?
Because women are not getting the answers to their questions with the traditional prenatal and postpartum care model.
Setting yourself apart and providing value through further education and knowledge will help you reach more women and better serve them and their needs.
Going Above & Beyond
We started with the Advance Postpartum Care: The Chiropractic Clinical Guide because that is where most women were being left behind.
But it goes beyond just the postpartum phase.
Connecting with women during their pregnancy will help them have a more comfortable pregnancy and help them better prepare for labor and birth.
You can also connect with them and help them prepare for the 4th trimester and postpartum phase with your knowledge from our Postpartum Course.
Many providers in the birthing world trust chiropractors to help with aches and pains and maybe even baby positioning, but those that are "specialized" in prenatal care are not holding up to the level or ability that our profession should and could be providing.
And that is what we are going to lay out for you.
All the ins and outs of being the absolute best prenatal chiropractic specialist in your area.
You will be able to network and connect with midwives and OBS, doulas and pelvic floor therapists to co-manage and help more and more women than ever before.

Dr. Nichelle Gurule DC
Dr. Nichelle Gurule, the owner of Gaia Health, is from Colorado and met her husband Dr. Antonio Gurule at the University of Colorado at Boulder before moving out to California for graduate school at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
Her chiropractic journey began in the hospital working in an integrative setting at a Department of Defense Hospital at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, treating wounded warriors, she then transitioned into working in a sports chiropractic setting, before she began her own practice and put her focus into her true passion of women and family health.
When people describe her they often use the words motivated and passionate, which couldn’t be truer. The things in life that she is most passionate about is her work in the health care world with women and children, along with her roles as a mother and wife.
Her family loves to be active! You can find them at the gym (or in our garage gym), on bike rides, hikes, neighborhood walks, and paddleboarding. They love the outdoors and are so grateful they live in Colorado where the weather and scenery are so beautiful.
Become a Leader
Take this next step to be a better clinician. A better clinician for your mamas. A better clinician for their families. And a better clinician for yourself!
