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.

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!

Heather Yerden is the owner and "lady behind the camera" at Light of Mine Photography. As a new mother in 2012, her passion for babies and desire to savor every moment with her new little love sparked an idea. Later that year, she decided to pursue what she thought would only ever be a dream and began her journey as a photographer. From the very beginning, she has been specializing in maternity, birth, and newborn photography and has since photographed hundreds of bumps, births, and babies.
She likes to consider her job title - 'Professional baby whisperer and snuggler'
Heather is a member of the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers and has been recognized by Expertise as one of Syracuse NY's best newborn photographers for two years in a row. When she isn't in the hospital for a birth or in her studio with a newborn, Heather is likely to be found chasing around one of her four children, cooking with her husband, spending time outdoors together with their dogs, or participating in all things crafty.
Wether it be a maternity session showcasing your pregnancy glow, a documentary of your birth capturing all the love and strength leading to their arrival, or photos of your quickly changing baby and all of their perfect newness - Heather believes that every moment of this journey is worth preserving and she would love to be the one to help you do just that!
