Women’s Health
→ Care for your body at every stage, with or without pregnancy-
You do not have to be pregnant, trying to conceive, or a mom to be seen here. Dr. Chrisi cares for women at every stage, from the low back pain you have worked around for years to headaches, hip and jaw tension, painful cycles, and pelvic floor symptoms nobody warned you about. Her training in the female body means she understands what general chiropractic often misses.
This is for any woman who wants to proactively take care of their health.
-
Fertility is not just about seeing a positive test. It is about helping your body reach the balanced state where conception can happen and a pregnancy can thrive. Dr. Chrisi supports your whole-body health through gentle, specialized care that eases tension and supports your nervous system, guided by her signature 120-day fertility protocol.
This is for women who want to feel like they are actively doing something during a wait that often feels powerless.
-
If you're searching for trusted, professional grade prenatal or family vitamins without the guesswork, the online dispensary offers exactly that, along with a 10% discount for patients and families. These are the same supplement protocols Dr. Chrisi recommends in office, so you can feel confident you're getting quality that's actually vetted, not just convenient.
Pregnancy
→ Support from your first trimester through your due date-
Your body changes fast during pregnancy, and it deserves care that keeps pace with it. Dr. Chrisi is the only chiropractor in Minnesota who is also a midwife, so the care you get here comes from someone who understands pregnancy from both angles, not just the joints and nerves, but the whole picture of what your body is preparing to do. Whether it's sciatica, round ligament pain, or just wanting to feel more comfortable as you get closer to labor, this care is built around what you're actually going through.
-
If you've been told your baby is breech or posterior, you're probably searching for every natural option before considering something like an ECV or a C-section. Dr. Chrisi is a Webster Certified chiropractor, trained specifically in using gentle, specific adjustments to reduce tension in the pelvis and support optimal fetal positioning, giving your baby the best chance to turn head down on their own. She's also trained in Spinning Babies, which she uses alongside Webster Technique and Body Ready Method assessments to give a fuller picture of what your body needs. What makes this practice different is that Dr. Chrisi is the only chiropractor in Minnesota who is also a midwife, so her unique clinical experience is shaped by years of hands-on experience in the birth room, understanding how positioning actually plays out during labor.
Moms come to her from all over the Twin Cities looking for a trusted, natural approach to breech babies, and that experience is exactly what she brings to every appointment.
-
Many moms already have an OB or midwife for their pregnancy but are searching for additional, hands-on support to feel their best along the way. Supplemental midwifery care is designed to complement the provider you already have, adding an extra layer of guidance, comfort, and expertise from someone trained and highly experienced in all things pregnancy and postpartum.
Birth Preparation
→ Get your body and your mind ready for the day-
If you're preparing for birth and want to feel physically ready, not just mentally prepared, a Body Ready Method® assessment identifies the areas of tension or restriction in your pelvis and surrounding muscles that could make labor harder than it needs to be. Dr. Chrisi is BRM® Pro certified, and her assessments carry a depth most practitioners can't offer. Her background as a chiropractor gives her a trained eye for the joint mechanics and soft tissue patterns that shape how a body moves through labor, and attending hundreds of births as a midwife means she knows what labor actually asks of a body. You leave with a movement and exercise program built for your pregnancy, not a general prenatal routine.
This service is popular among moms who are serious about an informed, empowered birth prep and want every advantage going in. Most mamas pair it with the Body Ready Birth® Workshop below.
-
The workshop is where preparation becomes practice. Over four hands-on hours with just three other couples, you and your birth partner move through every major labor and pushing position, learn which ones open each level of your pelvis, and build the comfort and counter-pressure techniques your partner will actually use on the day. Dr. Chrisi corrects every position personally, so nothing is left to a diagram or a video. The goal is muscle memory, so that when labor begins and thinking gets hard, your body already knows what to do.
This is the right fit if you want your partner genuinely prepared rather than standing by, and if you learn best by doing. It pairs naturally with a 1:1 assessment above, which addresses what's specific to your body, and with the Online Childbirth Course below, which covers what to expect through pregnancy, birth, and those first weeks.
-
Pregnancy comes with a lot of unknowns, and it's easy to end up falling down internet rabbit holes at 2am trying to figure out what labor is actually going to feel like or whether what you're experiencing is normal. This course was built to replace all of that searching with one trusted source. Dr. Chrisi is a midwife who has personally attended hundreds of births, and she walks you through exactly what to expect during labor, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and newborn care so you're not left guessing or piecing things together from forums and social media. It's designed for moms who want to feel calm and genuinely ready going into birth, not just informed. You can go through it at your own pace, from home, and finally trade that anxious uncertainty for real confidence.
After birth
→ Recovery for you, gentle care for your newborn-
Postpartum recovery is often overlooked, but if you're dealing with hip pain, pelvic instability, or tension from constantly nursing and carrying a newborn, postpartum chiropractic care can make a real difference. Dr. Chrisi brings more than 11 years of experience helping local moms recover after birth, using adjustments to realign the pelvis and support the body through this demanding stage. As a midwife as well as a chiropractor, she understands postpartum recovery as more than a return to baseline, and care is centered on helping you feel strong and supported in your new normal.
-
Parents searching for a pediatric chiropractor are often dealing with something specific: a baby who won't sleep, a toddler with recurring ear infections, or a child struggling with latch or torticollis. Dr. Chrisi holds certification from the ICPA's Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP), one of only a handful of chiropractors in the Twin Cities to earn it, and uses gentle, neurologically focused adjustments alongside craniosacral therapy to support your child's nervous system at every age. Care is tailored to your child specifically, whether that's a newborn just days old or a big kid, so families searching for pediatric chiropractic near them can feel confident their child is in specialized hands.
-
If you're searching for tongue tie support because breastfeeding hurts or your baby can't seem to get a good latch, you're not alone, and this is exactly what Dr. Chrisi focuses on. She works with families before and after tongue tie releases, using bodywork to ease the tension that often builds up around tethered oral tissues (TOTs). Gentle bodywork at MotherBaby Wellness Co. helps babies recover more comfortably after the procedure and get better results. Many families are referred here by lactation consultants and pediatric dentists specifically because Dr. Chrisi coordinates care around the release rather than treating it as a separate, unrelated appointment, which makes a real difference in how smoothly the breastfeeding journey continues afterward.
Our mission at motherbaby is to give mothers and babies a place where they feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.

Hello!
Pleased to virtually meet you!
Hi, I'm Dr. Chrisi Kelly, and I am passionate about providing specialized prenatal, postpartum and pediatric chiropractic care.
For the past decade, I have sought out advanced education to bring you top-notch and one-of-a-kind care including my license as a certified professional midwife and doula. I am trained in Spinning Babies and also hold certifications in Webster technique, advanced perinatal chiropractic training and the Body Ready Method®. I am also 1 out of 6 chiropractors in the Twin Cities to hold ICPA's Certification by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP). Basically, that's a lot of nerding out and that's exactly what I love to do especially when it comes to the health and longevity of the families in my community.
I'd like to invite you to join me for specialized care so that you can start feeling your best and be on your way to your wellness goals.
