“This book is a fantastic tool for any pediatric chiropractor. I love that this book can explain in easy terms a very complex issue. Having this is the office has helped increase retention and decrease parental questions.”
Dr. Jennifer Howard

“Such an easy book to read and understand as a provider or patient! Provides parents the ability to understand how ‘common’ is not ‘normal’ and how those common changes can affect the body globally.”
Dr. Sharon Vallone

Drs Rosen and Watson have illuminated the journey from conception through early childhood development in a comprehensive, yet understandable “conversation” with the reader. This book will not only be invaluable to parents (whether it’s your first or fifth born), giving them knowledge and direction when making health care decision for their child, but to other health care providers that work with infants to bridge the divide and promote collaborative care and to share with the parents of their patients to help them understand how important it is to address cranial distortions and biomechanics dysfunction at an early age to prevent the problems that arise as a result of the infant’s compensations. Thank you, Drs. Rosen and Watson for this work from your heart!

I picked up this book while I was struggling to breastfeed my daughter. She was born at home at 9 lbs. 2 oz, and her latch was excruciating from the start. Oral ties were part of the picture, but I knew they weren’t the whole story. I believed cranial work would help her head recover from the birth process, ease the restriction in her sutures, and improve her latch.

It taught me how to look past the symptom and find the root cause of what was keeping my baby from latching and reaching her first milestone: breastfeeding.

My daughter had a growth spurt every other week for her first six weeks. The book helped me see how much the natural decompression of her head after birth was shaping her ability to latch.

Today, breastfeeding and lactogenesis are the lens I use to guide my patients. Breastfeeding is a baby’s first milestone, and it is constantly changing. It is their activity of daily living and a vital sign. Feeding milestones are a window into brain development. They showed me where to begin my exam and how to assess the neurological and functional aspects of the head, so the baby can place the right demand on mom’s milk supply.

I believe every parent should own this book, ideally reading it while still pregnant. It helps parents embrace their baby’s unique physiology and understand why their baby may struggle after birth. It also shows them how to help, and how to find the practitioner their baby needs to reach every milestone.

“Breastfeeding is a baby’s first milestone, their first activity of daily living and a vital sign. It’s All in the Head taught me to look for the root cause when my own daughter couldn’t latch, and it shapes how I assess every baby I see. Every parent should read it before their baby arrives.”

“Drs. Martin and Nancy have compiled an amazing book valuable for any parent and anyone who gives health care to children. It is clear, concise, full of useful information, and an enjoyable read. Further it has excellent illustrations. I have practiced chiropractic for over 40 years with an emphasis on craniopathy and found this book to be an excellent resource. I recommend this book to any parent or health care worker who works with children.”
Dr. Mary Connors

“I love the chart with how it is worded to show that Untied States is as low as 26th on the list for infant mortality. People need to recognize this and become more educated about the process of birth. Natural Birth in this country has taken a back seat to the C-sections and medicalization of birth. A woman’s birth story is her personal story for life. I loved the chapter on the “Wonder of Human Development”, it would be great to teach that in a high school health class.”
Dr. Kristen Favreau

“This book is an invaluable resource for caregivers of babies and children. Drs. Nancy and Marty are so skilled at simplifying the underlying physiology behind the detailed cranial imbalances described. Also, there are many inspiring case studies thoughtfully interwoven throughout the book which provides meaning and adds depth to concepts relayed. This is also a perfect resource for healthcare providers who are new to assessing cranial distortion patterns and are interested in furthering their knowledge of the resulting ramifications. Highly recommend this read! I will be singing its praises to everyone.”
Laura Coulter

“This book is easy to read, filled with appropriate facts. It is filled with easy to read vocabulary professional insights. It is a great resource for parents or early childhood libraries. I have been an EEC professional for 15 years and am so encouraged by Marty and Nancy’s information. I highly recommend reading and sharing this book for all who are involved with children 0 to 5 years of age.”
Dr. Lisa Engle

“Drs. Rosen & Watson bring insight and education that expands awareness and shifts perspectives. I’m grateful for their brilliant work!”

It’s All in the Head is the kind of book I wish I could have read at the beginning of my career as a pediatric chiropractor. It explains in an easy to understand way how the birth process can set us up for long term issues, developmental milestones and how important it is to address any issues early. The book describes the connection between structure and function of the nervous system, the developing skull and spine. It helps parents understand why early intervention is essential and how they can help optimize their child’s developmental progress. Every new parent should read this book.
Dr. Katherine Roose

“This is an amazing book for all parents and pediatric practitioners. I highly recommend it!”
Dr. Roberta Stack

“It’s All in the Head is a must-have book for not only chiropractors, but also for parents and anyone working with children. It is exciting to know that now there is a course for everyone to engage with two of the leading pediatric chiropractors who wrote the book. This class offers an opportunity to delve into the world of human potential from a salutogenic viewpoint. The information is insightful and gives clear meaning to what is common versus what is normal in your child’s development. You will gain a better understanding of your child’s developmental processes. It answers many questions including why and how cranial distortions affect not only structure but neurological function as well.”
