Medical Emergencies for Moms
Cultivate, first responders, the emergency room, and urgent care are all here for you when emergencies arise. This course does not replace timely medical advice. However, it gives parents tools and skills on what the first steps are when your child gets sick or injured. Shan Tripp teaches about fevers, respiratory problems, earaches, vomiting, headaches, head injuries, abdominal pain, seizures, allergic reactions, and choking. She also teaches child-specific CPR in this course. Shan is ready to give you the perfect confidence boost. Mastering Medical Emergencies by Shan Tripp

Phytonutrients
Phytonutrients are the beautiful variation in colors we find in fruits and vegetables. Each color supports our bodies differently. For most families, I recommend 20+ fruits/vegetables variations per week. The phytonutrient chart from the institute for functional medicine is a great tool to keep kids engaged and aware of their body’s need for phytonutrient variety. Focus on quality of addition to diet versus restrictions to create healthy relationships with food for children.

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is essential for addressing disruptions in the body caused by factors such as stress, falls, poor posture, and toxins. Through chiropractic adjustments, there is enhanced communication between the brain and the body, allowing all organs and systems to function at their optimal level for improved overall health and well-being. Dr. Amy is the top pediatric chiropractor in the greater Salem area.
