Jennifer Barham-Floreani’s (Bach. Chiropractic, Bach. App Clinical Science
Registered internationally, no longer practicing as a chiropractor in Australia.) book Well Adjusted Babies is a parent’s answer to the question, “Can I be in charge of my family’s health outcomes?”
Jennifer advocates strong holistic and wellness principles, and as a concerned mother and practitioner, she encourages parents to define their own health culture.
With this book, Jennifer shares with us her personal journey of motherhood, spanning five incredibly different births, the pain and joy of both hospital and home births, and the story of their third son, born still.
