Learn About Comprehensive Holistic Care for a Healthy Pregnancy Cortlandt Wellness, a holistic healthcare private practice, in Cortlandt Manor, is offering a Wellness in Childbirth event with wellness practitioner and doctor of chiropractic Marianne Messina at 7 p.m., May 6, 2024. Attendees will learn how chiropractic care can optimize pregnancy and delivery, receive nutritional guidance for mother and baby, and discover which supplements provide the necessary nutrients for them both. “They will experience a very connected, thorough, informational, intuitive session,” Messina assures.

“We provide one-on-one care and our specialty is in women’s health and wellness,” explains Messina, who has been serving Westchester County for three decades and is an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). “I am certified in the Webster Technique through the ICPA, which supports the balance of the pelvis in pregnant women and provides optimum birth for the mother and baby.”

In each trimester of pregnancy, chiropractic care reduces interference to the nervous system, allowing the baby to develop optimally, explains Messina, who notes that she also provides nutritional guidance for the life cycles of women as well as cleanse and body management programs on an individual basis. “I pride myself on having a holistic model for women and their families, and continue to study the optimum techniques for this population through the ICPA,” she adds.
