My name is Nikki Cottis and I am a wife, mother and chiropractor.
I am a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University at University park, with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology (2007) and my doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Ga (2011). I have traveled to the Sichuan province of China to practice chiropractic, and have my own practice in Gulf Shores since 2015.

I have been married to my husband Jonathan since 2016, and we have one daughter named Hazel Jane. My daughter was born via emergency C-section in December 2018. My birth story is a long and interesting one that I look forward to sharing with you in our postpartum journey together!

My interest in birth started while researching my own options for birth in our particular area. I have certifications through the ICEA in childbirth education, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) for core and pelvic health, and Webster technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

My interest in postpartum developed after the birth of my daughter when I was left with pain, sadness, and unanswered questions. I am continually evolving on my motherhood journey, and I hope you enjoy learning with me!
