Nervous System Centered Chiropractic
We focus on the nervous system to get to the root cause of dysfunction in your body. The tone of your nervous system determines the tone of your health and your life!
Chiropractic care is the foundation for true healing because it restores your body’s innate ability to heal itself. Your body is a collective of systems that communicate with each other in order to keep you functioning. Your nervous system – housed within your spine – is the master control system that regulates and coordinates all other functions of the body. Sometimes, there is a communication breakdown between the body and nervous system due to physical, chemical and emotional stress. When this happens, over time, it can result in uncomfortable symptoms like pain, fatigue, digestive symptoms, anxiety, depression or other indicators of dysfunction. Symptoms are your body’s message that something needs to change.
“I highly recommend Dr. Nateja! I started seeing Dr. Nateja for treatment of my lower back pain and it was significantly improved after only a few visits. Now my back pain is close to 100% resolved and I’ve also noticed a substantial improvement in my mental/emotional and energetic health. She is a highly skilled healer and if you’re interested in a mind-body approach to healing, I highly recommend going to see her.” – Shannon E
Our goal is to increase coherence in your nervous system so that it may function more effectively. Dr. Nateja focuses on a very gentle and low-force tonal technique called Network Spinal (NS). Network works to transform patterns within the nervous system so that healing occurs from the inside out. NS works by gentle adjustments which are applied to specific areas of the spine to promote reorganizational waves within the body. This reorganization that happens within the body addresses stored stress patterns, liberating that energy to be used for healing within the body. When energy is no longer wasted on holding pain and stress, it becomes available for healing and growth.
Prenatal Chiropractic
Pregnancy is such an incredible journey and transformative time! It can be exciting, wonderful and at times, uncomfortable. Fortunately, chiropractic care during pregnancy can help alleviate symptoms and help you focus on the excitement of your growing family.
A system that is in balance & functioning to its fullest potential is the foundation for a healthy pregnancy. Research shows that prenatal chiropractic care contributes to an easier labor with less pain and trauma for mother and child by improving the balance and alignment of the spine and pelvis. Gentle and specific nervous system-centered chiropractic adjustments ensure optimal function of the reproductive organs, creating a supportive environment for mom and baby.
“I trusted Dr Nateja, who supported me with prenatal adjustments all throughout my pregnancy. The care was very personalized, intentional, caring, and I absolutely felt supported! I appreciate their very holistic approach to Chiropractic care. I had a very smooth labor, and Dr Nateja’s training in Webster technique had baby in great positioning upon arrival. I also slept great at night throughout my pregnancy and had minimal hip and back pain which has always been an issue in my other pregnancies.” – Brittany P
Our chiropractors are certified in the Webster Technique by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic kids shine a little brighter
We love caring for kids because we know how big of an impact it can have on their foundation for health as they grow. Rapid neurological development occurs during the first few years of life and Chiropractic care helps facilitate proper growth and development so they can thrive.
Kids can be adjusted minutes after birth and all through their childhood to support healthy development. Childhood diseases are on the rise, and it’s more important now than ever to have your child evaluated by a chiropractor that specializes in pediatrics. Kids are incredibly resilient, and chiropractic helps keep them that way. From tongue ties, colic, ear infections to behavior issues and wellness care – we make your child feel safe and comfortable as we support their healing journey.
“After my little one was diagnosed with tongue and lip ties, we were referred to Dr Nateja to help with breastfeeding on both sides and adjustments. The appointments were quick and easy. I could tell from the first instant that Dr. Nateja has a heart for the little ones, mamas, and making sure everyone is feeling their best. Instantly she made me feel comfortable and I could tell my baby also felt secure and cared for.” – Kathryn D.
Just like with adults, taking care of your kiddo starts with an analysis of your child’s overall health as well as a comprehensive nervous system exam. The evaluation and adjustments for newborns and kids is super gentle and most sleep right through it! Parents often notice a difference in their child before they even get home.
Our chiropractors have post-doctoral training and certifications from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Our specialization in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care gives parents the comfort of knowing their children are in good hands.
Whole Family Chiropractic
“Dr. Nateja Tomsin is very friendly, professional and has a caring demeanor about the pain I shared with her. I am already recommending my friends and family who have other issues to go see her.”
We stand for healthy families! We focus on serving and supporting the entire family. While we do have additional training and certifications to care for pregnant women and infants exceptionally well, we believe families function at their best when they’re all under care.
There is something magical that happens when everyone in the family is upgrading their health together!
Meet Dr. Nateja Tomsin
Dr. Nateja is our founder, owner and lead doctor. She is the heart and soul of the office and has a deep passion for connecting with people and creating an extraordinary life.
Dr. Nateja grew up in a chiropractic family. She was born at home in the house her father built and grew up with a strong foundation in health and wellness. Her father is a chiropractor in Washington State and it took her spending a few years in undergrad at Western Washington State to realize that her passion for chiropractic was deeper than she knew.
It was while working with her Dad on summer break from college that Dr. Nateja really got to see first hand the power of chiropractic care. It was so much more than pain relief. People were coming in to the office with stressed out dispositions, emotional, mental and physical pains and leaving with a smile and an aura of light around them. They were coming out renewed. They were coming out and laughing. They were coming out standing taller. They were coming out connected.
After that summer, Dr. Nateja pivoted her studies to Pre-Chiropractic and went on to graduate from Life College of Chiropractic West. She has continued her post-doctoral education with the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA) pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic specialists.
Dr. Nateja fulfilled a life long dream of working beside her father before deciding to spread her wings and start a life in Florida with her partner Dr. Mike Merkt.
The Fun Stuff
Dr. Nateja relocated to Florida with her fiancé Dr. Mike Merkt and their fur baby, Bella. They share a love of chiropractic, Florida sunshine, and creating community together. They were actually introduced by mutual colleagues at a chiropractic business event!
Values: Freedom, Community, Health
Three of her favorite things:
1) Getting down on the dance floor
2) Coffee with a view
3) Exploring new places
