You are not alone

When something doesn't feel
quite right.

You've searched online. You've asked questions. You've been told to "wait and see."

But your instincts keep telling you something is different.

We believe parents know their children better than anyone. Our role isn't to dismiss those concerns — it's to listen carefully, evaluate thoughtfully, and help you understand what may be contributing to your family's challenges.

A different way to look at health

Everything begins with
the nervous system.

The nervous system coordinates everything your body does — from movement and digestion to sleep, feeding, growth, and your ability to adapt to stress.

When it's functioning well, children often have an easier time adapting to the demands of life.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we evaluate how the nervous system is functioning and how it may be influencing the way your body — or your child's body — is adapting. Our care is gentle, specific, and tailored to each stage of development.

"Our goal isn't just to help you feel better. It's to help your family function better."

From stress toward resilience. From uncertainty toward confidence. From simply getting through each day — to enjoying it more fully.

Step One

We listen first — always.

Every family has a story. Your first visit begins with a thorough, unhurried conversation. We take time to understand yours — your pregnancy, your baby's patterns, your child's history — before anything else.

Step Two

Gentle, specific care for every stage.

From Webster Technique support during pregnancy to the lightest fingertip touch for a newborn — every technique is calibrated to your body and your baby's developmental window, never a one-size approach.

Step Three

A partnership that grows with you.

Health isn't a single visit. Many families choose ongoing care as part of a proactive approach to supporting nervous system function — through pregnancy, the newborn season, childhood, and beyond.

Specialized care for every stage

Your family's journey,
supported at every chapter.

New patients are always welcome. We'd love to meet your family and learn how we can help.

The life on the other side

This is what the other side
looks like.

Most families arrive at Whole Health after months of being told things are fine — when they know something isn't. What they find here is a team that takes them seriously, and a clear path forward.

"Because when the nervous system functions well, families often experience more than changes in how they feel — they experience greater capacity to adapt, connect, and thrive."

Why families choose us

You deserve answers.
Not pressure.

We believe you deserve answers, not pressure. You deserve to feel heard. A calm, educational approach that empowers you as a parent — not one that overwhelms you with jargon or rushes you toward decisions.

  • Two chiropractors with advanced pediatric and perinatal training and more than 20 years of clinical experience each.
  • Webster Technique certified pregnancy care — the gold standard for supporting pelvic balance and birth preparation.
  • Collaborative relationships with lactation consultants, midwives, pediatric dentists, and other providers who share our values.

  • Most importantly: we believe healthcare should feel like a partnership. You deserve to leave every visit feeling informed and empowered.

The people behind the practice

Two doctors. One mission.
Your family's whole health.

Drs. Jess and Josh Burckhard have spent 20 years doing one thing: helping families thrive. They built three thriving practices in New York, relocated to Arizona after the pandemic, and brought their passion for pediatric and perinatal care to Gilbert — where they've been caring for families for the past four years.

Dr. Jessica Burckhard

Doctor of Chiropractic · CACCP · Webster Certified

Mother. Wife. Chiropractor. Dr. Jess has focused her practice on mothers and children for two decades — and it shows in every appointment. Her care is gentle, unhurried, and deeply personal. She doesn't just adjust spines; she listens to families, meets them where they are, and helps them understand what their body needs — and supports them in getting there.

She holds the CACCP certification — one of the highest levels of clinical expertise in chiropractic pediatrics — and has supported hundreds of pregnant mothers through Webster Technique care. Outside the office she's a mama to Hudson and Bodhi, a runner, a hiker, and someone who genuinely loves what she does.

Dr. Joshua Burckhard

Doctor of Chiropractic · CACCP · Webster Certified

Father. Husband. Chiropractor. Dr. Josh brings a rare combination of clinical depth and genuine wonder to every family he cares for. He is amazed daily that two cells meet and replicate over the course of pregnancy to form a beautiful baby — and he takes that miracle seriously in his work.

His philosophy: cultivate trust, remove barriers to healing, and help families function at their best over time. He knows that keeping a child's nervous system functioning optimally can change the trajectory of their entire life. Fun fact: his first trip to Arizona was in 2002 as part of the Colorado Rockies Spring Training organization.

"Our 10-day-old couldn't latch. We were exhausted and heartbroken. After one session the difference was immediate — she fed perfectly, and for the first time in two weeks, we could breathe."
