Meet Dr. Jennifer Thompson, DC, CACCP, IBCLC
Hi! I’m Dr. Jen, owner and chiropractor at Balance Chiropractic & Wellness | Ankeny, IA
I specialize in caring for women during pregnancy and postpartum and for babies navigating feeding, digestion, development and overall health and wellness through their milestones. A common question I get is if I also see adults. And the answer is YES! I love seeing entire families, including moms, dads, and kiddos of all ages.
Truly Family Centered
As a mother of 3 daughters, I have a special empathy for my patients who are searching for options and hope for their families throughout every stage of life; from pregnancy, postpartum, newborn stages, infancy and beyond.
I love to share my experience as a mother to connect with patients and their families, because I’ve been in the trenches, and have helped many families just like yours.
I feel like my patients truly are members of my extended family and I make a commitment to be a part of each of their lives. I especially loves adjusting a pregnant mother and then caring for her newborn baby. I delight in seeing children grow, reaching important milestones.
Specialized Training
My post graduate, focused training includes:
- Webster Certification for pregnancy
- CACCP: Certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (Prenatal and Pediatric Certification)
- IBCLC: Board Certified Lactation Consultant
- Advanced training in Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
For over 20 years, I’ve supported families through pregnancy, feeding challenges, colic, reflux, and more
Family First
My first priority is my family. My husband and I have been married since 2010, and our three daughters, Emma, Lucy, & Vada keep us busy outside of work. I’m a volleyball mom and dance mom, and love watching my girls do the things that bring them joy.
I love to read, spend time with my family and our dogs, and am active in my church including serving on boards and being involved with the youth. My husband and I are DIYers, and usually have some project in the works in the house or the yard.
I invite you and your family to become part of our family.
