Dr. Sara is a holistic family chiropractor, breastfeeding specialist, and a tree loving, flower growing, chicken raising, small town mountain soul. She's a wife and mama to 3 and a lover of books, learning, and all things natural. She’s a homebody who loves nature and adventure. Skiing’s in her blood, farmers markets fuel her soul, and she doesn’t think that there’s much a warm cup of tea can’t help soothe. She holds several post-doctorate certifications, including Webster, and specializes in preconception, perinatal (pregnancy/postpartum) and pediatric care.
We took our 10 week old to see her after visiting so many doctors and leaving with only daunting diagnoses and prescribed medications. After seeing Dr. O’Connell for the first time, we had a different baby! We left her office with answers to all our questions. She is so kind and gentle with our boy, but also with us. We have gone from a crying and unhappy baby 90% of the time to a happy and smiling baby 90% of the time. Once skeptics have now turned into believers - we owe Dr. O’Connell everything for giving us our baby back!"
She will take time each and every visit to ensure that you get the best chiropractic care possible. Dr. Sara a highly skilled professional, but she also made my family and I feel right at home from the minute we walked through her doors."
There isn't an appointment that I leave where I don't feel like a new human after! She not only helps your body to heal, but also fuels your mind with wellness and good practices to continue improving your health. Dr. Sara is truly a guru of her trade and working with her was the best choice I made for my health!"
Yes! Dr. Sara is Webster Certified, as well as, Board Certified by the Academy of Pediatric and Family Practice. She holds numerous post doctorate certifications in preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and pediatric care and is constantly committed to furthering her perinatal and pediatric education.
Sometimes, but that’s not our goal. Our mission is to work with your (or your kiddo’s) nervous system to increase your body’s ability to adapt to stress and function at its best.
Dr. Sara does this through a specific analysis of your nervous system and is known for being gentle and intuitive while firmly believing in bio-individuality. Sometimes she uses her hands for adjustments and sometimes she uses an instrument.
For infants, there’s never any fast movements, twisting, cracking, popping or instruments.
Wear cozy socks. We often have little ones crawling around on the ground and strive to keep ice, snow, mud and toxins out of our space, so when you arrive at Be Well Barn we ask that you remove your shoes and leave them just inside the door.
On your first visit you will also likely need to remove the top half of your clothing for your CLA INSiGHT scans; we will provide you with a gown to wear at that time.
Other than that, please feel free to wear whatever you’re most comfortable in to your appointments.
