General Care:

Dr. Heather's gentle, healing hands are guides to the restorative path of healing. I do not understand how craniosacral therapy works, but it is a powerfully unique experience of relaxation and healing. When Dr. Heather lays her hands on my head and neck for a craniosacral therapy session, it takes my mind and body immediately to a peaceful place. It feels like guided meditation. Suddenly my mind starts thinking healing thoughts and finding places in my body that need my attention and need healing. It sort of feels like cheating, you know... if I did the daily work of meditation I might know these things, but Dr. Heather makes the process effective and graceful. I highly recommend Dr. Heather's healing hands to anyone who is busy, a bit tense, or just needs a little guidance on how to become aware of their body's needs. Enjoy! Ali H.

I have never sent a thank you to a doctor after a treatment in my life, but I have to tell you I’m feeling so much better after seeing you yesterday on every level. You’re a magician! And I couldn’t believe a whole hour had passed. You really helped me in so many ways…I can’t begin to tell you. Your energy, knowledge, deep kindness, care and ability to tune into people is amazing. After procrastinating for months on getting my annual exam done, after what you said to me about that, I called and made an appointment with a doctor today.  My appointment is on the 14th. With the deepest love and appreciation. —Martha

Wow, I had no idea…….I recently went to see Dr. Heather for a pain I was having in my back, it had been awhile since my last visit so I thought I just tweaked my back.  Within a few minutes of my visit and a few questions later she mentioned that she thought it sounded like I might have something going on with my kidneys.  This hadn’t crossed my mind in the slightest…..sure enough two days later my MD told me that I had a kidney infection and immediately put me on antibiotics.   I’ve always thought that a chiropractor was focused exclusively on the skeletal system but this was an eye opener into the overall health that Dr. Heather focuses on.  I was able to tell my MD, when I scheduled my appointment, about my concern which helped them diagnose it quickly.  Thank you, Dr. Heather you are such a great ally in the quest for health! Xo —W. Wells

It was really great to see you yesterday, and we want to thank you for the wonderful treatments!  We both feel much better physically, and also emotionally and spiritually.  Seems like for me in particular, there was fear and tension in my body, and your work and guidance helped to relieve both, including getting me back on track with a positive outlook and perspective on everything happening these days.  Thank you so much for your holding, and your wisdom! —J.Ford

Pregnancy/Postpartum:

Dr. Heather's work marked a big turning point in both my pregnancy and in the earliest days of my daughter's life.  I started seeing her for both craniosacral and chiropractic care at 8 months pregnant because of my debilitating low back pain.  By the time I was full term, I was pain-free and feeling radiant.  Then, when my daughter and I had some challenges with the early days of breastfeeding, I brought us both to see Heather.  I watched Heather help my daughter work through areas in her body that had likely been holding onto some trauma from birth, including her jaw.  After one (free) session, we never again experienced trouble latching.  Plus, I finally felt myself let go of the difficult feelings I had developed during our first few days of struggle.  I trust Heather/s judgment and wisdom implicitly, as a practitioner, a mom, and as a wonderful new friend.  —Liz Thompson, R.N.

I first went to Jacobson Chiropractic to see Heather Hunt after researching chiropractors specializing in prenatal care. I was seven months pregnant having horrible sciatic back pain and pelvic pain and could not even bend over without getting “stuck”. The staff was very friendly when I called and I was surprised to be able to see her the next day. I thought the office was very neat in a converted house and everyone was so friendly and nice. Heather took my complete history and checked my flexibility before she started working on my back. The adjustments felt good, but I was so stiff I could barely walk! So she readjusted and did craniosacral work on my head, neck, and lower back. It felt heavenly! Afterward I felt better but was still very stiff. She asked me to come back the next two days for adjustments due to my stiff back. I did and after three adjustments was able to walk around without pain for the first time! I continued to see her weekly for the next month until the pain was gone and then I saw her a few more times before the baby was born. It was wonderful to be pain free! Heather’s hands are magical! —K. Rhodes

Shortly after the start of my second trimester, I began having severe pains in my upper buttocks area. I tried to self-diagnose and decided I had sciatica and tried to treat myself at home. After weeks of no relief I finally decided to see a chiropractor. After visiting one that crunched me and discussed some dietary changes, I still had no relief, and I was then referred to Heather by a fellow pregnant friend. I called the office and was able to make an appointment that week. On my first visit, Heather was able to quickly diagnose that I had a sprained sacroiliac joint. She was able to explain and show so many things to me about how and why this injury occurred, how we could treat it, and what to do for the remainder of my pregnancy to prevent further injury. Throughout my treatment she was gentle and understanding of my pain, but really able to work some of my especially painful areas. I left that appointment with various handouts on stretches and taking care of myself during my pregnancy and a support belt that helped me hugely. After a follow-up visit the next week with continued massage and realignment, my everything changed! My pain was gone and I had my life back! If it weren't for Heather I would have been living with daily discomfort for the remainder of my pregnancy and possibly longer. She gave me back my mobility and desire to be active for the remainder of my pregnancy. She truly was amazing! I would highly recommend her to any pregnant woman feeling any pain or discomfort or simply desiring to feel better! — K. Robinson

I initially visited Heather Hunt at 37 weeks pregnant with my first child. Since the beginning of my second trimester, I suffered from Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, though I didn't know there was a name for the pain I was experiencing. Immediately, I became a believer in the power of chiropractic work and Heather's practice. Not only did she listen attentively to me, she also relieved my pain completely during those last weeks of pregnancy with the help of a support belt! — J. D.

I have since been a patient of Dr. Hunt's during my second and recent third pregnancy, and she has now become a friend and great resource to me. When my second child was born, I took him to see Heather for craniosacral therapy after he stopped bearing weight on his legs at 6 months old. During this time of fearful uncertainty, she gave me a voice to advocate for my son and served as a compassionate listening ear. —K. L.

Functional Medicine, BaseLine Blood Work:

I'm so grateful for Dr Hunt's discounted blood work panel.  I was having symptoms that could have been related to many different issues, and the blood work really helped clarify what needs work and helped me to stop worrying about potential problems that turned out to be fine. M.F

Using Dr. Heather’s wellness blood work, she was able to help me understand how my low levels were contributing to my feeling of exhaustion. Like an artist, she crafted a specialized plan to get me back to my energized self again. —Allie A.

In tears over here reading your thyroid blog, as I can relate to so much of what you describe.  And watched your great psoas/sacroiliac YouTube video too.  I’m grateful to know you.  Thanks for all you do for so many. —D.D.

I have to say that I SO appreciate your knowledge in this circumstance. It is truly life “changing” to have this information readily available to me, EVERY woman should be granted access to her hormone and blood levels. It’s such deep insight into who I am and how I am. Our appointments, besides being eye opening, are emotionally packed with goodness and healing. Thank you for your powerful diagnoses! -A.Z.

Kids/Babies:

A couple of weeks after our son was born he started showing signs of colic. This was our second child with colic symptoms and I was dreading the next few months ahead. I knew that Heather worked on newborns and infants as well utilizing craniosacral therapy for colic. So I brought him in to see her right away. She was very gentle and he responded positively to her touch. After three treatments we noticed a drastic difference in his fussy periods! Instead of walking around with him for hours in the evening trying anything to sooth him, he would quiet down and go to sleep after only an hour. While he still had a “fussy period” in the evening for another month, the craniosacral work Heather used on him made a drastic difference. I would highly recommend Heather Hunt and Jacobson Chiropractic to anyone suffering pain and for babies with colic! ~Katherine R.

Mom: "Did you like that doctor?" Son Elijah: "Yes she made me be able to say practice. I felt more power come into me and I could say practice." - this was a word he had had trouble saying before :) Earlier in the conversation he said "I feel all the way better." Sarah G.

Thanks so much for all you have done for our family. I wanted to thank you for what you recently did for our daughter. She had complained of ear pain with a cold and I took her to the pediatrician to rule out an ear infection. The doctor said there was the start of ear infection and gave me a prescription to treat if the pain worsened or didn't improve. The pain was gone but my daughter wasn't hearing well from one ear at all. It was so bad that I became concerned. We happened to have an appointment with you. I told you her symptoms and you worked on some areas in her head and neck you said would help with sinuses and ear. Sure enough within a day or two her hearing was back! We are so grateful! No antibiotics needed. I love that even though my daughter is almost four she loves you for you to "help me get better". K. Brown

After seeing Dr. Heather late in my second pregnancy, I was pain free and singing her praises! Now looking back, I cannot believe I didn’t think to take my son to her sooner. Following a shocking regression after a vaccine, I continued to allow medical professionals to make me believe that I was assuming too much and that nothing was wrong with my baby. Thankfully, after two months of suppressing my motherly instincts, I took my son to see Dr. Heather for craniosacral therapy. Little did I know that she would quickly become one of my family’s biggest advocates. Aside from the incredible improvement in his strength and awareness of his body that has come from his visits with Heather (he started rolling again within hours of first seeing her), I am extremely thankful for her calming presence. Time and time again, she has reassured me that I do, in fact, know my child better than anyone, and she has helped me make a plan for moving forward. She is constantly brainstorming and researching to figure out what is hindering my 10-month-old’s development, and each time we leave her office I feel empowered and encouraged. Heather, thank you from the bottom of this mama’s heart!— J. D.

Over the past four years, Heather has been our go-to chiropractor when one of my boys fell down a stairwell, when our family survived a car accident, and when I was overdue with my daughter and extremely uncomfortable. Her calming presence has been so assuring to me during my pregnancies, and it is incredible to watch how my children completely relax in her hands during their appointments. I am forever grateful to Heather for the numerous ways she has cared for my family. Her passion for caring for women and children makes our community a better place! —J. B.

Something funny happened this morning that we wanted to share with you... My daughter was given a time out on the time out bench for one thing or another, and then very sweetly tells her mama, in her best two-year-old voice, "Mama, my sacrum hurting..."  indicating she would rather not be sitting on the bench.  Thanks for the work you do in holding our whole community. —Cale B.
