Helmets, Demystified: A Parent’s Story

In this episode of The Alliance Goal Digger Podcast, host Rachael Auyer sits down with Alexis Waller, mom of four and mother to Reyna, to share what it’s really like to navigate a cranial remolding helmet journey. Alexis opens up about noticing early signs of torticollis, advocating for her daughter, working with a supportive pediatric team, and partnering with Onny Mbagwu, LCPO, and the Alliance Prosthetics + Orthotics family. Together, they walk through the evaluation and scanning process, insurance hurdles, the 23-hour wear schedule, cleaning and skin checks, and the emotional side of being a “helmet mom” while juggling multiple kids and night shifts. Alexis offers honest, practical encouragement for parents who are on the fence about an evaluation and reminds listeners that taking the first step and trusting your “mom gut” can make all the difference in your child’s future.
