Because Taking Care of You Is Taking Care of Them
By Dr. Rachel Kessel
If you’ve ever felt like self-care is just another thing you don’t have time for, you’re not alone. Between work, school drop-offs, laundry, and everything else, taking care of yourself can feel impossible.
But here’s the good news: self-care doesn’t have to mean spa days or solo getaways. It can be simple, realistic, and something the whole family can benefit from.
Here are a few ideas that work for even the busiest families:
Mini Moments Count
A few deep breaths before responding to your toddler. Drinking your coffee hot. These little pauses can calm your nervous system and reset your day.
Make Movement a Family Thing
Stretching before bed, dance parties in the kitchen, or family walks after dinner—movement boosts energy and helps regulate emotions for kids and adults.
Here’s to making space for wellness—even in the chaos.
Build Simple Routines
Consistent sleep, easy-prep meals, and a weekly “reset” can reduce stress and help your whole household run smoother.
Include Family Wellness Support
Chiropractic care is one way many families choose to support their bodies and nervous systems naturally. Whether it’s helping kids sleep better, supporting digestion, or just giving mom a moment to breathe, we’ve seen how consistent care can make everyday life a little easier.
No matter how full your plate is right now, remember: caring for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s one of the best things you can do for your family.
We’re cheering you on every step of the way at Davis Family Chiropractic.
