Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Brauer.
Hi Sarah, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Absolutely! My journey into chiropractic care really began long before I ever went back to school for it — it started as a mom. I’m a mother of four and step-mom to two, and becoming a mom back in 2003 completely reshaped how I viewed health, birth, and family life. Over the next 15 years, I had the privilege of supporting moms and babies as a birth educator, doula, and IBCLC, walking alongside families during some of the most transformative moments of their lives.
Through those experiences, I saw just how much families are struggling today — babies who can’t settle, kids who can’t focus, moms who are anxious and overwhelmed — and I knew there had to be a better way to help. That calling led me back to school in 2019 to become a chiropractor, with a focus on neurologically centered, pediatric and prenatal care.
Today, I’m the founder and chiropractor at Rooted Wellness Chiropractic in Mansfield, Texas — a family-centered practice built around the mission of helping families heal, connect, and thrive from the inside out. What started as a dream more than 20 years ago has become a place where moms find support, babies find calm, and families find hope — and that’s what keeps me inspired every single day.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Definitely not a smooth road — but every bump has shaped the way I serve today. Going back to school in my late-30s as a single mom of four boys was one of the hardest and most humbling things I’ve ever done. I was juggling family life, coursework, and long hours, all while trying to hold space for the moms and babies I continued to support. There were seasons of exhaustion, doubt, and sacrifice — especially balancing motherhood, finances, and a demanding program.
Then, stepping into practice ownership brought its own challenges. I started Rooted Wellness Chiropractic with a huge vision but limited resources, right in the middle of a world that was still rebuilding after a lot of uncertainty. There were moments where I wondered if I could really do it — but every struggle deepened my “why.”
Those hard seasons taught me resilience, faith, and creativity. They reminded me that the same nervous system principles I teach families — adaptability, regulation, and connection — are just as vital in business and motherhood. And looking back, I wouldn’t trade the hard parts, because they’re what made this journey so meaningful and deeply rooted in purpose.
As you know, we’re big fans of Rooted Wellness Chiropractic. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Rooted Wellness Chiropractic is so much more than a chiropractic office — it’s a space where families come to heal, connect, and grow together. We’re a neurologically focused pediatric, prenatal, and family wellness clinic in the heart of Mansfield, Texas. Everything we do is centered around helping the body and nervous system function the way it was designed — calm, connected, and adaptable.
We specialize in caring for babies, kids, and moms — from colic, reflux, and sleep struggles to sensory challenges, anxiety, and focus issues. We also support moms through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and all the transitions in between. Our technology, including INSiGHT scans, helps us see how the nervous system is functioning beneath the surface — so we can track progress objectively and personalize care for every patient.
What really sets us apart is our approach and atmosphere. From the moment families walk through our doors, they feel seen, supported, and understood. We take the time to listen to their story, connect the dots, and build hope — often for families who have tried everything else. Our care is gentle, specific, and deeply compassionate, because we know that healing isn’t just physical — it’s emotional and relational, too.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud that Rooted Wellness Chiropractic feels like family. Our mission is to serve, educate, and empower families to live fully connected lives — from the very beginning. Every detail of our space and every interaction with our team is designed to reflect that — from our kids’ play area, to our cozy waiting room, to the way we celebrate every small victory.
What I want readers to know most is that healing is possible. Whether it’s a baby who finally starts sleeping, a child who can focus and feel calm, or a mom who rediscovers her joy — every story matters. That’s what “Rooted Wellness” is all about: helping families get back to the root of who they are — healthy, connected, and thriving.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is that healing and growth — whether in life, motherhood, or business — are never linear. There are seasons of momentum and seasons of stillness, and both matter deeply.
As a mom, a chiropractor, and a business owner, I’ve had to learn to trust the process — to stay rooted even when things feel uncertain. Just like in the nervous system, adaptability is everything. When we slow down, stay connected to our purpose, and regulate through the challenges, the breakthroughs always come.
I’ve also learned that community changes everything. Surrounding myself with people who believe in the mission — my team, my patients, and my family — has been the key to sustaining this work. It’s a daily reminder that we’re not meant to do life or healing alone.
