Embrace Motherhood with Confidence

Hi, I'm Dr. Michelle Gerbi

I am a perinatal and infant chiropractor, functional medicine provider, certified pregnancy and postnatal health coach and international board certified lactation consultant, and I want to make your life easier.

I have helped thousands of moms with the most common and most challenging issues that motherhood can throw at you.  All too often I see women get so much attention, education and focus on them when pregnant or during childbirth, but after everyone moves on quickly or tells mom that they are “fine” despite them feeling the exact opposite.  Our medical system and birth system move on shortly after the baby is born and most moms are left surfing the internet for answers in the middle of the night, feeling alone and overwhelmed.  I am here to help end that overwhelm.

With over 15 years of experience focusing on postpartum women, I have helped thousands of moms just like you overcome the most common and challenging issues that come with motherhood. With a background as a chiropractor, perinatal health coach, functional medicine provider, certified health coach, postpartum corrective exercise specialist, and international board-certified lactation consultant, I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the challenges, questions, and triumphs that come with being a mom. I know first hand what new moms face and have helped thousands of women feel more confident about themselves during this huge transition and empowered to embrace motherhood with confidence. 

My approach is steeped in science, but driven from the heart.

Where the Journey Gets Tough: Postpartum Challenges

Let's be real—while motherhood is beautiful, it's also one of the most demanding roles you'll ever undertake. The truth is, there are moments of joy, but there are also sleepless nights, unanswered questions, and the feeling that you've been thrust into a new world without a guidebook or support.

You're Not Alone in this Journey

I understand the questions that keep you up at night:

  • How do I breastfeed without pain?
  • How do I get my baby to sleep longer?
  • What's the best way to bottle-feed successfully?
  • How can I confidently return to work?
  • How do I feel less overwhelmed?

Transforming Challenges into Triumphs

Have you wondered:

  • What should I eat to feel better and have more energy?
  • How do I overcome the overwhelming feeling that comes with new motherhood?
  • How can I manage a fussy baby without feeling helpless?
  • Where do I turn for the support I need?
  • How do I bridge the gap with my partner and help them understand my experience?
  • How do I function on so little sleep?

You're not alone.

I've seen countless moms grapple with these things,
and my coaching program is here to help you not only survive but thrive.

Embracing Physical Recovery

Let's not forget about the physical aspects. Growing a human being and birthing are two of the most physically amazing and demanding things our bodies do in their entire life.  Yet, our talk about birth recovery never encompasses the magnitude of what you have just done. It's very "lite" for having done something this amazing and physical. Whether you're looking to recover from a c-section or a vaginal delivery, my program is designed to support your healing journey.

Have you asked yourself:

  • How do I recover after delivery?
  • How do I regain my pre-pregnancy body?
  • What's the best way to ease back into exercising postpartum?
  • How do I lose weight and feel confident in my body again?
  • How can I ensure the quality of breastmilk for my baby through my diet and supplements?
  • What should I eat to help my body heal?
  • What simple things can I do to combat brain fog and fatigue?

Rediscovering Yourself

It's not just about the physical—it's about finding yourself again amidst the chaos of new motherhood. It's about taking care of your mental and emotional well-being while caring for your baby.

Have you ever felt lost in the midst of it all:

  • How do I find myself again? 
  • How do I take care of my mental and physical health while taking care of my baby?
  • How do I make time for myself while caring for my baby?
  • How can I ensure the quality of breastmilk for my baby through my diet and supplements?
  • Are these thoughts I am having normal?
  • Am I dealing with postpartum anxiety or depression?
  • Am I the only woman not enjoying this right now?
  • Do you feel like you failed at birth - did your plan go sideways?
  • Do you feel guilty about not breastfeeding - for whatever reason? - no shame here - I’m here to help support you.

What Clients Are Saying About Dr. Michelle…

 
 
 
"She helped to fill an emotional void I didn’t even know I needed filled, a headache I couldn’t get to go away, and the healing of my C-Section."

Michelle had all the answers and whatever she recommended, worked for me. I recommend her to any new Mom. We’ll follow her through fire. If she says we’ll make it through it, we will. She’s helpful, non-judgmental and so knowledgeable. I always leave feeling taller than when I came in. I recommend her for her knowledge and her human kindness.

- Candice

“She was like a totally different baby. She’s been growing and thriving ever since.”

I’m a mom of 8 and with Michelle, I’ve felt really heard as a Mom. Even as an experienced Mom, you go through things that are new. Michelle has worked with me and my kids on postpartum recovery, tongue tie, and mostly recently with craniosacral therapy for my youngest. It’s amazing, after the second session, she popped her head right up. She was like a totally different baby. She’s been growing and thriving ever since.

- Carissa

“Dr. Gerbi saved my life.”

Around 4 months postpartum, I struggled with really scary thoughts and I kept remembering something Dr. Gerbi had told me. Since then she has been one of the biggest reasons why I am a happy and healthy Mom physically and mentally. I recommend her to everyone for every reason.

Learn more About Dr. Michelle’s Blueprint for Balanced Motherhood Coaching Program: 

During our work together we’ll work through my 5-part Blueprint for Balanced Motherhood and the 9 foundational rhythms and phases your baby will experience during their first year.

For You:

1. Nourish to Flourish: Custom Strategies for Postpartum Healing Through Nutrition

Let's meet you where you are and get you what you need.  It doesn't matter if you are a gluten free vegan or living off of processed food. I will meet you where you are and develop simple strategies to use food and supplements when needed to help your body repair and recover.  If you are breastfeeding or pumping, we will also focus on nutritional strategies to optimize milk production and quality.  

2. Rest Medicine: Crafting Tailored Solutions for Deeper Sleep and Renewed Energy

We will go beyond the advice of “nap when the baby naps” and really help you develop a customized strategy for getting more sleep as well as non sleep rest strategies to help balance the demands that early motherhood places on your mind and body. 

3. Reclaiming Your Body: Tailored Strategies for Postpartum Physical Healing

Understand what the heck just happened to your body and have an actionable plan for feeling whole again. Whether you have just had your third C-section or your first vaginal delivery, I will develop a customized pelvic floor and abdominal recovery program to help you feel whole again. In my 15 years of hands-on practice, I have come across almost every postpartum musculoskeletal issue out there and have developed numerous protocols for helping moms feel whole again.

4. Caring for Your Maternal Mind: Science-Based Strategies for Optimal Brain Health 

You know your body has changed, but the hormones of pregnancy and early motherhood also significantly change your brain.  We will use simple strategies backed by cutting edge research and science  to support these complex times. 

5. Embracing the Essence of Motherhood: Prioritizing Empathy, Compassion, and Resilience Over External Metrics

Your baby doesn't know your degree, what company you started or what you make, your education, how great your career is, but what they do need is a Mom. Not the latest crib or carrier or app or toy. Learn how your voice, heart, touch, and being are the best soothing tool, brain development and infant development tool out there.  This is grounded in science and backed by research, but moms need to get out of their heads and into their hearts. 

For Your Baby: Rhythms and Phases

For your baby, backed by research, driven by thousands of hands on cases. We’ll take you through the top 8-10 things that I talk to Moms about and have everyday in practice for the last 15 years. 

And they are…

1. Cultivating Calm

Understand your baby's nervous system and its development and learn how to use neuroplasticity to help your baby develop a calm well-rounded brain

2. Colic Decoded: Unveiling the Sources and Strategies for Soothing Your Baby

What's really at the root of your infant's fussiness?  Let's develop a plan to help advocate for any care your baby needs.  We will also tease apart the role that gut health, feeding issues and things you may have never suspected can deeply impact colic. 

3. Restful Beginnings: Navigating Infant Sleep Rhythms

Learn the rhythms of infant sleep and how infant sleep cycles change through the first year of life.  Feel confident in your ability to cultivate good sleep habits in your baby with an individualized approach that works for both of you. 

4. Holistic Lactation Care - Personalized Support for Every Path

Customized lactation support plan through whether its engorgement, chronic mastitis, pumping,  latch issues, or a customized return to work plan. There's so much more to the breastfeeding journey than just a good latch!  I am here for all of your questions and concerns.  For moms who are exclusively pumping or formula feeding, there are still questions, concerns and issues related to bottle feeding.  I've got you covered as well! 

5. Roots of Resilience: Nurturing Lifelong Health Through Your Baby's Microbiome 

Learn why your baby's gut health the first year of life is so critical for their entire future. We'll work together to optimize it and learn how a little bit of sleuthing and effort  now paves the road for a lifetime of great health! 

6. Nourishing Milestones - From milk to meals

Whether you are excited about baby led weaning or are more comfortable starting with purees,  learn the most current research in science behind how and when to start solids and develop a customized plan while working with me. 

7. Foundations of Movement: From Tummy Time to Walking - Expert Guidance for Your Baby's Physical Development

Starting with tummy time and moving on to rolling, crawling and walking,  learn the latest research backed tools for cultivating your infants physical and motor development for strength and health.

8. Pathways and Progress: Embracing Parental Intuition for Milestone Support

Sometimes also as parents  we sense something is off, part of coaching with me is that we dive into those questions and help to assess support your child might need. I also teach you how to advocate for your child, yourself and your family to get the care and attention you need. 

9. From Milestones to Moments: Transitions in Baby's First Year

Sleeping in their own room, mom returning to work, starting daycare, introducing solids, dropping a nap. The first year is full of transitions. Let’s navigate those transitions together so you know what's coming around the corner and feel prepared for each new phase of development.Â
