Sarah Braithwaite - Chiropractic Assistant
I’ve worked at Chiropractic First for over 5 years now and it’s a great place to work. I get adjusted regularly to keep my spine and nervous system functioning at its best, and I also get to meet lots of lovely new people. It hardly feels like work!
I have three grown up children and three grandchildren, soon to be five as my daughter is expecting twin girls in the New Year.
I also have my own business, I’m a Doula and Placenta encapsulator. Two things you may not of heard of but in a nutshell I support women throughout the pregnancy journeys. I meet with them during their pregnancy and offer antenatal support; I am with them during labour, often they choose to birth at home. I then offer postnatal support too. The continuity of care and support that I can offer is often what attracts people the most.
Placenta Ecapsulation is a process where I steam, then dehydrate the Mums placenta. I then turn it into vitamin type capsules that are taken daily after the birth of her baby. The Placenta is an astonishing organ full of a women’s own natural vitamins and hormones if taken soon after birth can give Mum the most amazing benefits.
Whilst working with Mum’s antenatally I highly recommend they see Gavin or Chattie throughout their pregnancy to get regular adjustments. This will help align their spine and pelvis, which I’ve noticed can help them have a better birth experience.
