I started working with Dr. Linda Slak back in 2020. She has worked with all three of my children at this point. Each had tongue ties (my first was severe, with lip and buccal ties), and the bodywork before and after release made an incredible difference. My babies were calm and relaxed during every session, and I could visibly see the tension leave their bodies. One of my children was in the 2% for his body weight and I was being pushed to supplement with formula. Working with Dr. Slak she gave me the confidence and support I needed to continue breastfeeding and advocate for my baby. Linda’s care and conversations were compassionate, personal, and grounding. I always felt heard and supported as a parent. I highly recommend Dr. Slak to any mother navigating breastfeeding or feeding challenges. Truly invaluable care. Thank you Linda ❤️

Dr. Linda Slak has been amazing to work with, she is very professional, sh has helped our daughter relax, and has helped in the recovery from a lip and tongue tie release. Our daughter is relaxed after visits and has been a new baby since starting Chiropractic Body Work. The more visits we’ve had with her the more we’ve learned about her and her experiences, knowledge, and her world wide presentations and teachings she has offered to teach others infant/pediatric chiropractic. Highly recommend Dr. Linda Slak as an infant/pediatric chiropractor!

Dr. Slak is excellent! He is receptive and kind and deeply cares about his clients. He helped me create (and fulfill) a plan which allowed me to have a smooth, easier delivery. I highly recommend his services to pregnant individuals! He also worked on mitigating some of my neck pain by creating a diligent plan and providing me with resources to ensure that I am actively involved in my treatment. I could not recommend him more! Dr. Linda is very kind as well, even though I have not worked with her directly.
