I went to Cap Wellness Center for a prenatal massage and felt like I was bamboozled. I knew from…read moretheir site that they lean toward holistic, functional pre and post natal care - fine. But what was unclear is the overt Christian, right-wing agenda I'd be finding when I showed up at the office. My masseuse was wearing a shirt with God written huge across the front, the instrumental music during my massage was all Christian songs (I know, I used to go to church), there was horrifying anti-vax pamphlets at the counter that touted all of the right-wing talking points, not medical research. It felt like a place preying on new moms and people in vulnerable positions trying to just figure out how to do what's best for their babies. It's a disappointment since there's nothing about religion on their site. They should be transparent about who they are and what their agenda is. I will not be going back.

My favorite chiropractor of over 12 years, Dr Jay works out of the wellness center and he is the best. For adults, kids, infants and pregnancy. I am very picky about chiropractors and personally don't love being 'cracked' all the time, so with Dr Jays technique my body is able to unwind from the inside out, allowing for longer lasting adjustments. Besides amazing chiro, they have massage, acupuncture, birth classes and so much more!

Background setup: Bruised my coccyx (butt bone), 2 months…read morelater injured myself twisting with weights + have had a persistent hip flexor low back pain combo. The result was an almost debilitating pain in my low back and sciatic nerve that demanded I take it easy and rest. Unfortunately, that's not really an option or preference for my lifestyle so I sought out professional help. Dr. Binder was the first chiropractor I had ever visited and, quite honestly, I was kinda stressed out about the whole crack it and pop it thing. I knew just a massage wasn't going to fix my injury that was a compilation of many other small injuries. Despite the vast size, the space feels immediately inviting when you walk through the doors. Dr. Binder was there to greet me right away and I was impressed with our one-on-one consultation & the comprehensive tests she used to assess what was actually going on with my back. She took the time to answer my questions while interpreting the results of my tests, calmed some fears and explained to me how the body responds to stresses, injuries & how receiving chiropractor care can help with so many ailments across the board. We moved over to the table and she told me exactly what she was going to do, what sensation I might feel & asked how I responded to each adjustment. She was thorough, strong & effective with her hands-on adjusts, yet gentle enough being it was my first time in her care. More than anything though, I could tell she was really trying to help me. She followed my adjustments up with a massage to the area, answered more of my questions for care until our next visit and I was on my way. We scheduled another appointment in a few days and within a week I felt back to normal. So it turns out taking it easy and resting is a requirement when dealing with injuries. There is no doubt in my mind though, that Dr. Binder helped accelerate my healing process, and for that, I am so grateful.

Her holistic approach is incredibly thorough while still efficient, and in my experience, the results speak for themselves!

Wonderful prenatal care experience. Terrible birth and postpartum experience. If it wasn't for my…read morefamily intervening and hospital transfer not sure if my baby would be here today... Kayti allowed me to be in active pushing for over 4 hours and expressed no concerns. My family pulled her aside on two occasions expressing their concerns regarding the prolonged time and belief that my baby was in jeopardy. Kayti insisted that it was completely safe for me to continue pushing. My family had to intervene and call 911 against her recommendation to get me to the hospital. Upon arrival, the hospital team catheterized within seconds. Kayti and team tried to do a catheterization multiple times at home and were unable to do so. My delivery and its aftermath revealed multiple critical health concerns which were related to a high stress prolonged birth: my baby's cord blood showed excess acidity, indicating high stress levels and posing a risk of brain damage; my baby's glucose levels were low, requiring 24 hours of monitoring; and my baby had difficulty regulating his body temperature, dropping as low as 94 degrees Fahrenheit, necessitating placement under a heating lamp. All these complications relate directly to a stressful and mismanaged labor.

No words can truly describe the experience I had with Kayti but I will try my best to write it out…read more I was referred to Kayti from my doula Rosie. She was the first Midwife and the only midwife I called to interview. I instantly knew that she was going to be my midwife. The prenatal care that I had with Kayti was remarkable. My appointments with her were more than clinical. My husband and my toddler were able to come to the appointments. I truly felt that Kayti listened to everything I had to say. She really got to know me as a whole person medically and personally. Which is really needed when you are planning an intimate home birth. During my labor Kayti and her student, Amy were there for me every step of the way. I was never scared at any point of the birth. I put all my trust in them and felt supported the entire time. This says a lot because my labor was over 48 hours and I ended up transferring to the hospital because baby did not want to descend into my pelvis. I believe that Kayti did everything she could for me and my baby boy. When she told me that we needed to transfer. I knew it was the right decision. Even then, I felt like my baby and I were safe. We then transferred to the hospital and Kayti stayed with me and advocated for me until I had to go back for a cesarean. Post natal care was just as amazing. Since I did not get to have the birth that I had planned at home, Kayti planned a rebirth and a bone closing ceremony for me at my home at our last meeting together. That was exactly what I needed emotionally and spiritually. This just shows how thoughtful and loving Kayti is. My baby boy didn't come into this world as expected, but it was his own unique story and Kayti was apart of this unforgettable experience. I am forever grateful for her and Amy.

Immediately Shauna came to our house several times a week and truly got us through the thick of it: she was the ONLY person I didn't feel like I needed to clean up for - a stupid thing to think about those first few weeks but still! She'd come on time, let herself in, greet our boisterous dog, and take the baby from me like she was my own sister :) I can still remember the feeling of the sun on my face when my husband and I took our first walk to get a coffee alone - I'd been in the house with the baby nonstop for a week and she gave us a few hours of real peace to reset and get our sanity back! Her expertise was also critical to navigating early breastfeeding and gastric reflux issues.
