Bloom® Intensive Course Catalog
Week 1 | Foundation
Build the framework for becoming the provider pregnant patients trust. Learn the Bloom Philosophy®, clinical decision-making, documentation principles, communication strategies, and the systems that create exceptional patient experiences from day one.
Week 2 | Lower Body Patterns
Master the most common pregnancy-related lower body complaints including low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, pubic symphysis dysfunction, hip pain, SI joint dysfunction, and sciatica. Learn practical examination, differential diagnosis, treatment strategies, and home care that patients can immediately apply.
Week 3 | Upper Extremities
Pregnancy affects far more than the pelvis. Learn how to confidently evaluate and manage pregnancy-related headaches, neck pain, thoracic pain, rib pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and upper extremity dysfunction using evidence-informed clinical approaches.
Week 4 | Sports Medicine Meets Pregnancy
Apply orthopedic and sports medicine principles to the pregnant patient. Develop stronger clinical reasoning, improve examination skills, identify movement dysfunction, and create treatment plans that are both safe and highly effective throughout pregnancy.
Week 5 | OB Playbook
Strengthen collaborative relationships with obstetric providers while learning red flags, medical conditions requiring referral, imaging considerations, medications, labor terminology, and how to communicate confidently within an integrated healthcare team.
Week 6 | Soft Tissue
Expand your clinical toolbox with soft tissue techniques designed specifically for pregnancy. Learn when to use manual therapy, instrument-assisted techniques, stretching, muscle energy, and myofascial approaches to improve patient outcomes while maintaining comfort and safety.

Words matter. Learn how to communicate with confidence, educate patients without fear, improve informed consent, build trust, deliver difficult conversations, and create an exceptional patient experience through thoughtful clinical communication.
Week 9 | Emergency Recognition and Clinical Red Flags
Know when pregnancy pain is more than musculoskeletal. Identify medical emergencies, recognize warning signs requiring immediate referral, understand risk management principles, and develop confidence in making safe clinical decisions.
Week 10 | Ergonomics and Disability
Help patients function through every stage of pregnancy. Learn workplace ergonomics, activity modification, lifting mechanics, disability documentation, return-to-work recommendations, and practical strategies that improve daily function.
Week 11 | Operationalizing a Pregnancy Practice
Transform knowledge into a thriving practice. Learn systems, workflows, scheduling, documentation, marketing, patient retention, referral development, and operational strategies that allow you to confidently build a pregnancy-focused practice.
Week 12 | Integrative Clinical Reasoning
Twelve weeks to genuine clinical competence with the pregnant patient.
A clinical mentoring program for chiropractors who want to assess, adapt, and treat pregnancy with real reasoning, not a single technique.
Why I built this: I did not set out to treat pregnant women. I built a sports medicine practice out of a gym, adjusting professional athletes, and I was good at it. I was carrying three-quarters of our patient volume. Then at seventeen weeks pregnant, I almost lost my baby, and I could no longer practice the way I had been. To stay in practice at all, I took the pregnant patients. I assumed they would be the gentle ones. Easier. Lower stakes. The soft landing my body could handle.
I could not have been more wrong, and the way I was wrong became my life's work. I had spent years giving elite athletes cutting-edge, top-quality care. And I looked at the pregnant woman in front of me and thought: why does she deserve any less? She is not a delicate flower. She is an athlete in her own mind, asking her body to do the hardest thing it will ever do. The stakes were not lower than the athletes I had left. They were the highest I had ever practiced under. A woman in pain who may have to choose between feeding the child she already has and harming the one she is carrying. No one should have to make that choice.
And here is what I realized about my own training. School had taught me about pregnancy. It never taught me how to treat her. I knew the physiology and I still could not reason through the patient on my table. That was not a hole in my education.
It is a gap that runs across the entire profession, and it stays quiet because no one names it.
So I built the reasoning I had needed and never been given, and I have done almost nothing else since 2006. I built one of the largest pregnancy-focused practices in my state. I built the OB relationships, because the referral has to be earned, not asked for. Underneath all of it is a clinician who did the work and built it, a paramedic trained to catch the case that looks musculoskeletal and is not, and a woman who lived the thing she now teaches. For nearly twenty years I have spent that experience bridging this gap: teaching it, hosting chiropractors through it, and getting the word out that there is a right way to do this.
The Bloom Intensive is that reasoning, made teachable. It is sports medicine assessment, married to ACOG guidelines, carried by the instinct to recognize what is not yours to treat. It is everything I wish someone had handed me before I had to find it the hard way, sequenced so you do not have to. Twelve weeks from now you will not be guessing when a pregnant patient walks in. You will know what you are looking at, what to do, when to modify, and when to refer. And you will build the kind of practice where she leaves and tells the next one your name.

YOUR TRAINING PREPARED YOU FOR EIGHT OF TEN PATIENTS
It did not prepare you for the two who are pregnant. That is not a criticism of your education. It is a gap that exists across the profession. Your patient this week does not care whose fault it is. She needs you to know more.
What the foundation covers
- —Trimester-specific assessment of the pregnant body
- —The patterns that cause the most pain, and how to recognize them fast
- —When to treat, when to modify, when to refer
- —How to speak to an OB as a colleague, not a vendor
- —How to build a practice where pregnant patients ask for you by name
The curriculum
Three phases.
One clinical transformation.
Twelve weeks, twelve competencies, built in the order a real clinician needs them.
Weeks 1 to 3
Foundation
How to see this patient differently. The clinical lens that organizes every decision that follows.
Week 1 Foundation
The reasoning that underlies everything else. Sports medicine assessment applied to the pregnant body, informed by ACOG guidance.
Week 2 Lower body patterns
The pelvis, hip, and lower extremity presentations that drive the most common pregnancy pain, and how to recognize them fast.
Week 3 Upper extremities
The shoulder, wrist, and upper body patterns pregnancy creates, including the ones most clinicians miss because they are looking lower.
Weeks 4 to 9
Clinical application
Assess, treat, modify, refer. The working core of the program.
Week 4 Sports medicine meets pregnancy
The heart of the method. Treating the pregnant patient as the athlete she is, with the rigor you would give any high performer.
Week 5 The OB playbook
How to communicate with an OB as a competent colleague, so you become the chiropractor they send to instead of the one they warn about.
Week 6 Soft tissue
Hands on soft tissue work adapted for the pregnant body, including what changes by trimester and what to leave alone.
Week 7 The home care prescription
What she does between visits. The home care that holds your work and keeps her out of pain when she is not on your table.
Week 8 Patient communication
How you talk to her. The language that builds trust, sets expectations, and makes her feel safe in your care.
Week 9 Emergency
The case that looks musculoskeletal and is not. How to recognize the red flag, know your edge, and refer without hesitation.
Weeks 10 to 12
Integration
Bringing it into your practice, and becoming the name they pass along.
Week 10 Ergonomics and disability
The working life of the pregnant patient. Ergonomics, activity guidance, and the disability and work questions that come with her care.
Week 11 Operationalizing a pregnancy practice
How to build the practice around this work, so pregnant patients become a referral engine instead of an occasional visit.
Week 12 Integrative clinical reasoning
Everything, brought together. You finish with your OB introduction letter written and your implementation map in hand.
