Dr. Kolleen Gregory

DC, FICPA

Chiropractor | Cranialsacral Therapist

Background

My care philosophy is rooted in gentle, nervous system focused chiropractic support for babies during one of the most tender seasons of life. I approach each family with softness, intention, and deep respect for the innate wisdom of the body.

I have advanced chiropractic pediatric training, my work includes light, specific chiropractic adjustments along with cranial work, craniosacral techniques, craniopathy, myofascial release, dural unwinding, and gentle mobilization to support optimal movement and milestone development.

These techniques help ease tension patterns that can influence feeding, digestion, sleep, head shape, and overall regulation. Care is always individualized and conservative, honoring each baby’s pace and cues.

While my hands are on the baby, the mother’s intuition is central to the process. I believe parents are not bystanders in their baby’s healing, they are essential partners in it. Every visit includes education and gentle home care guidance so families feel confident continuing supportive touch at home.

When a baby feels safe and regulated, their body can settle, organize, and grow with greater ease. My role is to help restore that sense of safety so the entire family system can thrive.
