Dr. Dolly Garnecki

It is my pleasure to announce the C’Ville Entremom of the Year: Dr. Dolly Garnecki. Congrats to you Dolly.. you deserve it for all that you do!

If you don’t know Dr. Dolly, you are truly missing out. Dolly is a mom, a blogger and owner of Spinal Health and Wellness. When she is not running around town with her adorable 2 year old, Calvin, she can be found many places:

  1. Working with pregnant and post-natal mothers, babies and children to achieve optimal health and wellness through natural and green chiropractic care.
  2. Working with adolescents to mature adults who are interested in a non-invasive and non-bracing approach to treating and often reversing scoliosis.

  3. Offering complimentary educational classes for new parents with seminar series Happy Green Baby and Healthy Mama Workshops at venues such as Whole Foods, ACAC’s Pre-Natal Seminars and Rebecca’s Natural Food.

  4. Writing on her natural parenting blog: Traveling With Baby. Dolly’s blog shares her journey of the joys and challenges of early motherhood. Traveling With Baby covers topics on health, travel tips with little ones in tow, natural and intentional parenting, product reviews.. all with a few freebies thrown in!

  5. Working with and mentoring other local women bloggers as part of C’Ville SheBlogs.

As you can tell, Dolly is an Entremom that does it all!

Dolly was nominated by not only one, but two of her fellow mommy blogging friends: Jennifer Hamlin (Events With Panache) and Elisa Bricker (Elisa B Photography) who recently founded the popular blog, The Bridal Ring. They both described how Dolly does everything with Calvin by her side. According to Jennifer, “Calvin can be found most days by her (Dolly’s) side at her office… Calvin is a part of the daily practice.”

Dolly, thank you for all that you do for Charlottesville, fellow Moms, fellow bloggers and for being an inspiration to all of us.

To show her appreciation to other Entremoms, Dolly has agreed to give her donated item to the Entremom in 2nd place.  Congratulations Shannon Franklin of Crozet Eye Care. You were a very close competitor!!

I’d also like to thank our panel of judges who helped pick our Entremom of the Year.
