Dr. Anna-Marie Simpson
|
Dr. Anna-Marie Simpson was raised in southwestern Ontario, but now resides locally with her family in Camillus. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Honors Biomedical Science from the University of Guelph, with a minor in neuroscience. Dr. Simpson obtained her chiropractic education from the New York Chiropractic College and graduated summa cum laude and with honors in the degree of Doctorate in Chiropractic. Dr. Simpson is licensed by the fully accredited New York State Chiropractic Board and she focuses her practice on restoring and maintaining proper function of the musculoskeletal nervous systems. In addition to being a trained and licensed chiropractor, Dr. Simpson also holds a Masters in Applied Clinical Nutrition, a valued addition to chiropractic care.
Dr. Simpson has a strong focus on the whole family, from pregnant moms and tiny babies to children and adults; her aim is always to provide high quality holistic care. She is certified in Webster Pregnancy Protocol and is continuing her ongoing educational training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, enhancing her skills and experience with prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care.
A visit to see Dr. Simpson means that you will receive an appointment with a treatment plan individualized specifically for you. She is a strong believer that there is no “prescription” of treatments that will make anyone feel at their best, but that incorporating chiropractic care and positive nutrition changes into your lifestyle will make a positive and noticeable difference. Each appointment will involve a variety of elements, from heat and muscle work to traditional chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Simpson has received invaluable training to treat her patients throughout all stages of their life, but takes great pride in her ability to treat women throughout all stages of the pre and post-partum period as well as their children.
Even more exciting, Dr. Simpson and her husband are dedicated AP parents to two beautiful kids, both after amazing and successful home births! Keep your eye out for her as she is on the steering committee for the BirthNetwork of CNY, and is involved with the Babywearing International group, the local MOPS group and much more! Make sure to also stay tuned for one of her educational workshops!

Tonja B

As a mother of three children, one who had sleep issues, I understand the emotional strain and stress that a child not sleeping through the night can have on on a family. I recently discovered the need for children to sleep through the night in order to be well adjusted individuals.
My sleep philosophy stems from research and training that I will incorporate while helping you teach your child good sleep hygiene.
I offer my families a peace of mind, relief that sleepless nights will soon turn into bountiful sleep for everyone in the family! I develop customized sleep plans while getting to know you and your child’s personality and developmental
milestones. I am with you every step of the way as you give your child the gift of sleep.
As a Certified Sleep Sense TM Consultant, I’ve undergone a comprehensive training and mentoring program which has given me the very best tools and knowledge available to help you get your little one sleeping through the night!
