The Grayslake Homebirth and Midwifery MeetUp
"Optimal Fetal Positioning: Chiropractic Care for a Healthier Pregnancy, Birth and Baby"

Join us for an information-packed evening with Dr. Jill Balla Shaw, Chiropractor certified in the Webster Technique. The Webster Technique is a gentle system of chiropractic for pregnancy that has an exceptional success rate (over 90% success) in correcting fetal malpresentation like posterior or breech babies. The Webster Technique during pregnancy can reduce the length of your labor, make your labor more comfortable, reduce and eliminate common pregnancy discomforts and much more. For your new baby, early, gentle chiropractic adjustment can undo birth trauma, reduce colic and resolve issues with nursing. Bring your questions and join us for the informative evening!

    Hi. Thanks so much for organizing this, Jacque. And thanks to Dr. Jill for presenting. It was my first time, so I knew some of the people there, but I'm afraid I didn't get to meet that many people this time. In terms of ideas, have you ever thought of having a partner's/dad's panel, of homebirth/midwifery from their perspective? Or, having a "dad's only" night faciliated by a seasoned dad? Just a thought. Thanks. :)

      “ Though I didn't hear the beginning (I got lost- apparently there are 2 Harris Rds in Grayslake!), what I did hear from the speaker sounded excellent! Good information. I really look forward to attending next month's meetup and getting to know some of the other people. ”
    • “ Thank you so much to Dr. Jill Balla Shaw for an excellent presentation and thank you so much to all of you mamas and little ones who came. I so enjoy our MeetUp and I am really grateful for all of you bringing your experience, questions, and wonderful energy to our group. Thank you! :) ”
    • “ Great speaker as always! Dr Shaw was amazing! I felt more knowledgeable just listening to her talk! I think we are going to have to go visit her! ”
    • “ I really enjoyed the information that Dr. Jill gave us about chiropractic and pregnancy. I believe she will be a good contact during my pregnancy. I would have liked to have been introduced to everyone. Maybe go around in the circle and tell your name, and if you had a home birth etc. Next time I would like to pick their brains about home births and local resources. ”
