Rest & Roots

A uplifting space for moms to connect, share, and grow together on their journey of motherhood.

Let's Grow Together

I created, Rest & Roots, as a nurturing space for moms to connect, share, and grow together on their journey of motherhood. Grounded in a holistic and attachment-based approach, these meet-ups provide support for mothers seeking gentle, connection-focused ways to help their babies sleep without sleep training.

Together, we explore the roots of baby sleep, maternal wellness, and the power of community, all while embracing rest for both mom and baby. Join us in building a community where deep connection and mindful rest take root.

Upcoming Rest & Roots

City of Tonawanda Library

I am so excited to have Brenda join us as our special guest this month. Dr. Brenda Covell is a graduate of the New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY. Her last year in chiropractic college brought her back to Buffalo to complete her studies and in 2016 she founded Covell Chiropractic. In 2024 she also became the owner of Phoenix Rising Wellness Collective, the massage practice that has shared space with Covell Chiropractic since 2016. This collaborative environment now is home to 2 chiropractors, 4 massage therapists, a craniosacral therapist and a reiki practitioner.

Dr. Covell uses many different treatment techniques including traditional chiropractic adjusting, low force adjusting, various soft tissue techniques, craniosacral therapy, chiropractic cranial adjusting, whole foods nutrition, yoga therapy, postural and ergonomic correction and rehabilitative exercises. Each patient is treated with their unique needs in mind and receives a customized treatment at each visit.

Dr. Covell is certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) in Webster Technique. This technique assists in the assessment and correction of pelvic imbalances in the pregnant patient. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can relieve tension on the pelvis, helping the baby achieve optimal positioning. This can reduce labor and delivery time, and ultimately make pregnancy a more comfortable experience! Since the birth of her son in 2019, and daughter in 2020 Dr. Covell has devoted even more time to furthering her knowledge on pregnancy and postpartum care, including specialized c-section recovery, lip and tongue tie infant assessments as well as treating the various ailments that pop up through each trimester. She believes every person deserves the best support through this life-changing time.

Dr. Covell is currently serving her 2nd term as the President of the local district of the New York State Chiropractic Association. The NYSCA works to further the profession, provide mentorship to chiropractic students and support current evidence-based care for patients.

In her spare time Dr. Covell enjoys skiing, paddle boarding, yoga and outside time with her family.
