A little update from The Nest Wellness

At The Nest, we believe that quality healthcare should feel accessible, supportive, and centred around you.

As our little Nest continues to grow, so do the costs of providing the care and services we are so proud to offer. With this in mind, we will be making some adjustments to our service fees beginning December 2026.

We know that investing in your health is just that — an investment. And we never want finances to be the reason someone feels they cannot access the care they need.

That’s why we will continue to offer sliding scale fees for those experiencing financial barriers to care. Because accessibility isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we are committed to putting into practice.

These adjustments will help us continue to provide high-quality, individualized, evidence-informed care, while supporting the wonderful practitioners who make The Nest what it is.

We are incredibly grateful for the trust you place in us, for the community that continues to grow around us, and for your ongoing support of our small business.

Thank you for being part of our Nest.

With gratitude,
Sarah & The Nest Wellness Team

We’ve heard you — and we’re listening.

One of the things we hear most often is the need for more appointment options outside of the traditional workday. So, starting in October, we’re expanding our Pelvic Health Physiotherapy hours at The Nest!

Kim Smalridge, PT will now be offering evening appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with select Monday evenings also available.

We’re so thrilled to have Kim around The Nest for more hours — and even happier to be able to offer more options that fit into real life, busy schedules, workdays, school pick-ups and everything in between.

More availability. More flexibility. More opportunities to access the care you need, when you need it.

Evening appointments are now available to book online.

Does your baby have a favourite side?

Maybe you’ve noticed:
• They always look one way
• They prefer sleeping with their head turned to the same side
• A flat spot starting to develop
• They latch or feed better on one side
• They seem more comfortable being held one way
• They have difficulty turning their head in one direction
• Their head often rests in a tilted position

You might hear these described as a side preference, flat head, positional preference, head tilt, feeding preference — or sometimes, torticollis.

So, what is torticollis?

In simple terms, torticollis describes a pattern where a baby’s head is tilted to one side and/or rotated to the other. It can be associated with differences in neck muscle length, strength and movement, and may contribute to positional head-shape changes.

How can chiropractic care help?

Our chiropractor can assess your baby’s neck and overall movement, looking at range of motion, muscle tension, positioning and movement preferences.

Care is gentle and adapted specifically for infants and may include:
• Gentle hands-on techniques to support comfortable neck movement
• Addressing areas of muscle or joint restriction
• Positioning and movement strategies for home
• Tummy-time modifications
• Guidance around carrying, feeding and play positions
• Collaboration with your baby’s healthcare team when needed

The goal? To help your little one move comfortably and confidently in both directions.

Because sometimes a “favourite side” is worth a closer look.

Perineal stretching: a little prep for the big stretch. 👶

Starting around 34–35 weeks of pregnancy, perineal stretching can help prepare the tissues around the vaginal opening for birth.

Research suggests it may help:
• Reduce the risk of significant perineal trauma
• Decrease the likelihood of an episiotomy
• Help you become familiar with the stretching + burning sensations that can happen during birth
• Build confidence with relaxing the pelvic floor as baby descends

And no — the goal isn’t to stretch things as far as humanly possible. 😅 It’s about gentle, progressive exposure to stretch and pressure while practising relaxation.

Not sure where to start? This is something we can teach you during a prenatal pelvic health physiotherapy visit.
Your pelvic floor can prepare for birth, too.
