We know parenthood is an incredible journey, and understanding your little one's development can make it even more rewarding. That's why I've poured my heart (and brain!) into our latest podcast episode.

The vestibular system is nothing short of miraculous; it is our inner compass, granting us the grace of balance and the perception of motion.

Today, we explore how the intricate dance of a baby in the womb is more than just a delightful kick—it's the very groundwork of neurological connections that shape our future.

The nuances of labor and delivery are presented as a symphony of movement, where the sympathetic nervous system takes the lead, then yields to a slower tempo, easing the baby through the birth canal.

Postpartum, newborns face the profound challenge of gravity—an invisible force that shapes posture, development, and exploration. Early movement serves as a recalibration for the vestibular system, syncing the eyes and ears in a dance of development.
