As a child, you could find Dr. Ludeman roaming her family's 7 acre farm, hanging out in the barn with horses, running around with the dogs and cats or lying in a field with a book. Her fierce, adventurous spirt led her to competing in swimming and equestrian events. She is a bookworm academic at heart and began taking college classes while still in highschool, where she also started working for a chiropractor. Above all, Dr. Ludeman values family and hard, honest work. This drive is what led her to pursue a career in chiropractic and her passion behind helping new moms, babies and children of all ages. She excelled in her studies at Palmer College of Chiropractic where she was one of four students chosen to complete a prestigious internship at the a Veterans Affairs hospital in Texas.  Ever the over-achiever, Dr. Ludeman's dedication to serving her patient's need led her to complete several post-doctoral programs. She is certified in the Webster Method by the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA). Dr. Ludeman is also certified in the FOCUS program for behavioral, learning, socialization and developmental challenges and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization which is a rehabilitation approach that stimulates movement control centers. Dr. Ludeman is a mother of two daughters and a son who all had severe tongue ties and were diagnosed with failure to thrive. Her personal experience informed her professional excellence and she is now the only BIRTHFIT Professional in the area. Dr. Ludeman is also a member of the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association and International Affiliation of Tongue-Tie Professionals. She has taken continuing education through OHSU with Dr. Ghaheri and cranial adjusting courses under Dr. Martin Rosen and Peak Potential Institute. She collaborates with local pediatric dentists, IBCLCs, SLPs, and myo-functional therapists to best support her patients.
