newborn
Birth is birth. Regardless of the birth story, every newborn would benefit from an osteopathic treatment.
Acknowledging the algorithmic, fear-based, restrictive & one-size fits all model in our current medical paradigm for supporting women in their birth process, is allowed. Understanding the impacts this model of care has on the fetus & the newborn allows us to shift our perspective. The lack of autonomy and preservation, let alone belief, in the capacity for natural physiological function. In this acknowledgment, we allow the belief in necessity for preventative osteopathic treatment for our newborns.
Waiting until an issue arises is not preventative medicine.
Treating the newborn entails restoring their health to receive direction from their perfect blueprint. This is their birthright.
Restoring optimal neurological and fluid function.

After my daughter was born, it was then that I felt like i was a part of the living
—Dr. Sylvia Silberman DO
As a mother of daughters with two very different birth experiences, I can say with some wisdom that there is beauty and fluidity in the unpredictability of this transformational experience.
Birth is birth.
my 1st born was an unmedicated homebirth at The Farm in the rolling hills of Tennessee. My 2nd was a planned homebirth with a transfer for a C-section to Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia.
What a Wild and transformational experience into motherhood.
Holding the space for ALL the beautiful medicine that is available to us.
Allowing autonomy & surrounding women with physicians who KNOW and understand their physiological magnificence.

“Touch is the most basic, the most nonconceptual form of communication that we have. In touch there are no language barriers; anything that can walk, fly, creep, crawl, or swim already speaks it.”
