Hi, I am Dr. Leah or as many kiddos call me, just Leah because sometimes using the word Doctor can be scary! At Vive our goal is to meet your family where you are at along your health journey and increase your adaptability to stressors; physical, chemical, and emotional; all with support and love. No matter where you are in life right now things can get better, be better, and stay better.
We are ever changing beings and we all need a little help along the way. I grew up in Jefferson, IA and my parents still live in the same house they brought me home to. I feel very fortunate to have such supportive and caring parents. I have two older siblings; a brother and a sister whom have blessed me with 4 nephews. I also have a niece and a nephew I get to love on from my husband's side of the family.
I am married to a farmer and the hardest working man I know. We have a son named Brooks whom lights up our life and wears us out! Looking back at my childhood, my parents and I often talk about how beneficial Chiropractic would have been to me.

When your child has a properly functioning nervous system, they are able to thrive in their own life and connect to the world around them.
Most of the time, dysfunction of the nervous system begins in mama's belly or during the birthing process.
The space becomes very tight towards the end of pregnancy and delivery, whether it be vaginal or C-section, and tends to be a very stressful event.
Our little babes are used to a warm, dark, and cozy environment, and it changes in just a few seconds.
Even for many adults, our birth is the most traumatic physical stressor we have been through.

That is a great question.
Ideally, we'd love to see you as soon as possible because (as you already know) large changes are taking place within your body even though your baby is only the size of a blueberry.
We may be able to help with morning sickness, heartburn, extreme fatigue, headaches, and other common symptoms in early pregnancy.
As your pregnancy progresses and it becomes more visible to the outside world, it is important to make sure your hips, sacrum, ligaments, muscles, and uterus all stay in proper alignment.

We would love to be an addition to that circle as we help support your journey towards true health.
We understand that life is not always easy - work can be stressful, getting the kids (or yourself) ready can be overwhelming, and sometimes it's easier to order a pizza than to cook a healthy meal.
We understand because we have felt the same exact things before!
While chiropractic care is amazing for helping your body feel better, what is even cooler is that it actually helps you function better.

It is most likely due to the fact that someone you love has been diagnosed with or on the way to being diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental challenge.
We empathize with you and understand that this can be an extremely hard road to navigate.
Usually families of those with neurodevelopment challenges, such as ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, OCD, behavioral issues, and anxiety, find us at three different stages of their journeys.

Here at Vive we love to see full families getting adjusted together and parents showing their kids how to stay healthier in a holistic manner.
More and more research is showing that our genes actually are NOT as big of a factor as lifestyle and environmental stressors.
Often, when we see illnesses and diseases continuing throughout a family lineage, we have to assess those lifestyle and environmental issues.
As adults we tend to live and raise our kids the way we were raised; in the same environment, eating the same comfort foods, and enjoying the same activities.
