Dr. Jessica Santos is a family chiropractor, whose passion lies in working with aspiring, expecting or postnatal mamas, as well as ALL the babes she can possibly handle! While she loves to serve practice members of all ages, she has always held a special love for working with families through the common challenges of pregnancy, parenthood, infancy & childhood – and encouraging families to be able to optimize their life experiences and reach their true potential through chiropractic care. It is her experience as an 'almost lifetime' chiropractic patient being adjusted from the age of 3, that inspired her to become a Chiropractor herself.
After completing undergraduate work in Psychology & Kinesiology at both Ryerson & York Universities respectively, she completed her post-graduate degree as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in 2017 from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC). She has completed multiple additional qualification courses through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association), most notably being her Webster Certification designed to support optimal neurological function and structural alignment throughout mama's pregnancy, and to encourage baby's innate impulse and ability to get into an ideal position for birth. She is also certified, and has extensive experience working with the PIPS (Pediatric Intraoral Palate Specific) technique and associated bodywork, which is intended to identify and treat suspected or confirmed intraoral dysfunction related to tethered oral tissues (such as tongue tie and lip tie), TMJD, and poor tongue function (both pre and post revision). Her work with infants has allowed her to gain a wide-ranging familiarity working with infants with both common and uncommon infancy and childhood complaints, ranging from colic, reflux and torticollis – to retained primitive reflexes, cerebral palsy, and neurodivergent conditions. Most recently, Dr. Jess has become a Certified Pre and Post Natal Coach (CPPC), allowing her to foster another passion of raising the standard of care for mamas after birth (and beyond) by showing them how to properly regain strength and rebuild their bodies safely and effectively after carrying, birthing and raising their minis.
Dr. Jess has two little girls of her own, which have inspired her to become passionate about researching, developing, and advocating for true informed choice and freedom through pregnancy, birthing, and child-raising experiences. She strongly attributes her incredible experience throughout pregnancy and birth, as well as her continued family wellness, to routine chiropractic care. She prioritizes continued education to grow her knowledge base, to be able to educate her practice members and her community about our body's innate potential and emphasizes the importance of collaborative care to better serve the families of her community.
In her spare time, Dr. Jess loves spending quality time with her family and friends, as well as travelling, swimming, paddleboarding, & learning about anything related to life span nutrition, fostering immune function, or natural and chemical-free parenting. She is an ocean lover, is obsessed with pasta, loves playing and watching multiple sports, and loves to meet new people – so don't hesitate to come and say hi!

Becoming a parent (or parenting again), is a tremendously powerful life transition. The transition can be filled with opportunities for personal growth! In a warm, safe environment, we focus on building authentic friendships, regardless of parenting backgrounds and philosophies. The group is carefully designed, from the first point of contact, until the last, to create “common bonds” so that honest dialogue and exploration can occur. With this foundation, parents can be honest, without fear of judgement, to explore difficult “hot topics” such as sexuality, bottle/breastfeeding, sleep “training”, and difficult or taboo emotions of parenthood. The power of Emerging Mothers also extends into the parent’s primary relationships. Through tools and dialogue, parents learn how to navigate the complexities of relationship changes with their partners, their own parents and close friends. Each group has continued to be a source of support and encouragement for each parent, often meeting and talking regularly for years! Emerging Mothers has supported hundreds of parents through this postpartum time. Now it’s your turn!

Reiki Healing Relax, rejuvenate, rebalance, reconnect. Release what no longer serves you. Within each of us is a beautiful natural energy that is meant to flow freely throughout the body and keep us feeling vibrant and healthy. Think of it like a stream or river. When water flows freely, it is light and bubbly, and life blooms within it. However, if it gets blocked, the water begins to stagnate and it looses much of the life within it. The intention of a Reiki Healing session is to re-establish balance in the flow of energy. As well as hands-on healing, the session may include elements of crystal and shamanic techniques.
