We were referred to Dr Chelf by our pediatric dentist for treatment of our twin boys who both had a tongue and lip tie. She started seeing them as of 3-4 weeks of life and supported us through the process of the tongue and lip tie procedures (which I was so hesitant about as they were so young! ) But throughout everything, Dr Chelf was supportive of our decisions and helped with the body work that would aid their healing. We ultimately had both of the boys tongue and lip ties corrected and I am so glad I did! Their latch has improved greatly and one of the twins jaws looks completely different as well (previously it seemed retracted and too tight but now moves much more freely like its supposed to!) Dr Chelf is super warm and down-to-earth and has such a kind heart. I would highly recommend her to any mom who is having breastfeeding issues as she is able to work wonders. More...

Our family has visited Dr. Chelf at Ocean Wellness for a myriad of issues and have always been impressed with her personalism and professionalism! Our youngest daughter initially visited Dr. Chelf to help with exercises to enhance her healing process after a tongue, lip, and cheek release.

Dr.  Chelf has also assisted with sleep and diet issues with our son, as well as determining certain food sensitivities of my husband and myself.

Truly a unique and special place. When I found out I was pregnant I was so excited, but as I advance in my pregnancy, my wellness professionals (chiropractors, acupuncturist & massage team) would not work as much on me out of fear of possibility causing a miscarriage. As the pregnancy continued, I was in more and more pain due to my growing body. This was when my brother suggested Ocean Wellness. Dr. Bridget and her team helped put a pregnant mama back together. I no longer had pain when I slept and walked. The prenatal massages, acupuncture & chiropractic helped get my body back to alignment and prepare me for the birth, along with address the shootings pains in my legs and the numbing pain in my hip. Post birth, Dr. Bridget worked on my son and helped adjust his head back to normal, which stopped the eye infections he was having. They also helped me increase my milk supply. I’m so thankful for this team of professionals and for them helping me through my pregnancy and the birth of my son. Everyone there has a heart to help & heal and itnis such a special place!!

Dr. Chelf saved my family. If could give a thousand stars I would. We brought our baby girl in and Dr. Chelf noticed from her posture that our baby girl had both a lip tie and and tongue tie. These were things that both the delivery hospital staff and attending, and our pediatrician missed. Because we visited Dr. Chelf, we caught it early and were able to schedule corrective surgery.While examining our baby girl, my 2 1/2 year old son was playing nearby. My wife and I knew something was different about our boy, but having visited many other doctors and specialists trying to figure out what was wrong, we had no answers. From a distance, Dr. Chelf noticed that our son exhibited symptoms of Sensory Processing Disorder. She gently gave us the information we needed and helped us take the steps and get the evaluations necessary to help my son heal and develop properly. Additionally, we were able to do genetic screening and optimize both of our children's diet and nutrition to suit their needs. Dr. Chelf is the reason both of my children are now developing well.

Dr. Chelf is an amazing practitioner!  My only regret was that I didn't make the investment to see her sooner during my pregnancy. After my son was born, we had to have his tongue and lip ties revised. Dr. Murphy did the revision and suggested we see Dr. Chelf for cranial sacral therapy. Even though his ties were revised, we still had issues with his latch because his palette had been formed around the ties and was shalllow as a result. Dr. Murphy said she is the best in SoCal and I couldn't agree more. After seeing her, our son's latch is perfect and my milk supply has improved to where he is exclusively breastfed 98% of the time. I also have seen her as a patient myself and it's made a huge difference for me. She really knows her stuff, is compassionate, caring and effective. I know she truly cares about me and it's well worth the money to see her. I can't say enough about how highly I think of her and I've seen a lot of chiropractors over the years. Last, she is also highly knowledgeable about functional medicine which includes nutrition. You won't be just supported from a strictly chiropractic standpoint, but also nutritionally as well.

Dr. Chelf is an absolute gem.  Not only is she brilliant at what she does, she is a genuinely kind, caring person.  My first daughter had a lip and tongue tie revised in 2016, but torticollis and tight muscles meant nursing was still not working for us.  A few weekly CST visits with Dr. Chelf and our breastfeeding relationship was saved!  I don't know if I could have continued on without her help.  Instead I happily breastfed for 14 months.  Fast forward to the birth of our second daughter, also severely lip, tongue, and bucchal tied with torticollis to boot.  Even though I do not live in San Diego anymore, I am happily making the 3.5 hour drive each way to see Dr. Chelf.  She advised us on a stellar doctor to do the laser revision, and has been working her CST magic on my daughter.  In addition, she saw how worn down I was and immediately started treating me as well.  She also offered and willingly came in on both her day off and on a Saturday and Sunday to have appointments with us, because it was easier on our schedule.  Talk about above and beyond!
