HOLISTIC CHIROPRACTOR + FUNCTIONAL WELLNESS DOCTOR
HELLO, I'M DR. DARNITA HENRY
My Journey...
I am Dr. Darnita or “Dr. Mom Baby.” I am married and have given birth to four children. My Holistic Mama and Baby journey started with my first pregnancy. I sought a midwife, had a natural birth, and bought organic baby food. My second pregnancy I still desired a water birth but ended up with two surgeries - an Emergency Cesarean and Brain surgery due to a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Brain Aneurysm. I’ve always been under Chiropractic care when pregnant and am sure that getting regular adjustments and leading a healthy lifestyIe is what made the difference in promoting a full recovery preserving my life and health. With the birth of my first son, I started seeking holistic remedies for his colds and making homemade cough syrup. I began to dive into learning about herbs and essential oils. I also started making my own baby food including one of my favorites, vegan ice cream.
Third pregnancy, with a pool set up and everything, no water birth, BUT I had a Homebirth VBAC. Also, I experienced a good deal of nausea, exhaustion due to anemia, and heartburn inspiring the creation of the “Oh Baby! Tonic.” I committed to cloth diapering and this is when I started making baby skin care products. My baby girl put everything in her mouth and I needed something safe enough for her skin, effective, AND wouldn’t be harmful if she ate it. Thus “Angel Dust Baby Powder” and “Bottoms Up Diaper Rash Cream" were born, My son was a toddler at the time and would have colds occasionally. With my knowledge of essential oils I created the Vapor Chest Rub. My fourth pregnancy resulted in a Homebirth AND Waterbirth (my dream experience)!!!!
Some say I’m a veteran now. I’ve had a “normal" hospital birth, an emergency Cesarean and aneurysm repair, a home-birth, a miscarriage, and finally a home water birth, along with all the feels of each of these experiences. I, like you, am interested in not only maintaining but optimizing my and my family’s health. I choose to use our body’s innate intelligence and healing abilities to accomplish this.

HOW I WORK
I believe healing works best when the body is listened to, not rushed.
My approach blends chiropractic care, functional wellness, and personalized support—meeting each person where they are and building from there.
What guides my work:
I start by listening — to your body, your history, and your goals.
Care is personalized, not rushed. Each plan is built from where you are now.
Healing is collaborative. Education, consistency, and trust matter.
This work didn’t begin in a clinic — it began in my own body and my own motherhood.
Why I became a Holistic Chiropractor & Functional Wellness Doctor
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
This work began with philosophy - not symptoms.
I knew I wanted to become Chiropractor when I first learned what Chiropractic truly is - not neck and back pain management, but a philosophy rooted in health restoration through the nervous system. Once I understood that the nervous system controls and coordinates the entire body, and that the body has an innate ability to heal when given the right circumstances, everything clicked.
Chiropractic, to me, honors the body rather than overriding it. Rest, a properly functioning nervous system, nourishing food, hydration, movement, and time in nature are not adjuncts to health-they are the foundation. When I learned this, I didn't understand why anyone would want to practice healthcare any other way. It resonated deeply, and it felt like calling rather than a career choice.
My work naturally expanded into Functional Wellness as I became a mother. With each pregnancy and each child, my awareness deepened-not out of fear, but out of responsibility and reverence for the body. I was already health conscious, but motherhood refined my discernment and strengthed my commitment to prevention, nourishment, and whole-family care.
Today, my approach integrates Chiropractic care and Functional Wellness to support the body at its roots-through the nervous system, nutrition, environment, and daily rhythms. My role is not to force outcomes, but to create the conditions in which the body can do what it is designed to do: regulate, repair, and heal.
This is the foundation from which everything else flows.
Manifesto
MANIFESTO
This is what I believe — and how I live it.
"No matter how much it gets abused, the body can restore balance. The first rule is to stop interfering with nature."
"Your Health is your True Wealth."
“Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”
"When Health is absent Wisdom cannot reveal itself, Art cannot become manifest, Strength cannot be exerted, Wealth is useless and Reason is powerless."
“Optimal Health and Wellness (or Sickness) begins in the mind.”
