About
If You’re Doing Motherhood Differently, You Deserve Care That Matches.
MAMA,
You’re not broken.
You’re just dysregulated.
You’re holding everything together.
The kids. The home. The homeschooling or pick-up line. The hard-fought healthy meals.
The business or side hustle.
The boundaries. The standards.
The conviction to raise your family differently.
And still—
You go to bed feeling guilty...
Snappy. Tired. A little “off.”
You’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Tried the routines.
You’ve prayed harder than ever and still feel stuck in your body.
Mama, it’s not just in your head.
It’s in your nervous system.
And you don’t have to live like this.
THE DIFFERENCE
I see you because I am you.
I’m Dr. Alex Pankoke—aka Dr. Mama Bird.
I’m a chiropractor who doesn’t just crack backs—I help mamas heal, regulate, and rise.
I specialize in postpartum care, VBAC prep, pediatric care, and the kind of chiropractic that goes deeper—into the scar tissue, the stress, the soul of motherhood.
After a traumatic emergency C-section under general anesthesia, I woke up in a body I didn’t recognize, trying to mother from a place of depletion and dysregulation. I felt like a momster—snapping at everyone, stuck in frustration, and buried under guilt.
That was the beginning of my own healing journey—and it’s why I created this space for women like you. Not just to get a “quick pop” and be sent on your way, but to actually feel whole again.
Hey Girl!
I’m Dr. Alex Pankoke, DC—but most people just call me Dr. Mama Bird.
I’m a wife, a mama, and a chiropractor who’s been caring for families since 2018. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of supporting hundreds of women and children through some of the most sacred and challenging seasons of their lives.
My mission is simple:
To serve God by serving families—especially mamas—through nervous system-focused, heart-led, whole-body care.
​
I believe health isn’t about perfection—it’s about harmony.
When the body is free of interference and the nervous system can adapt, healing happens. Peace returns. Regulation takes root. And mamas can rise into the fullness of who they were created to be.
​
My first technique will always be loving service—everything else flows from there.
