Spinal Energetics
Spinal Energetics is a practice that combines Eastern and Western thought, to interact with a person’s spine, nervous system and energetic field, to harness a person’s own innate wisdom to know and heal themselves.
Each living being is not just a physical form but also a being of energy. Energy encompasses each of our aspects; physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and soul: Woven together with our ancestry, experiences, stories, personality, and character.
Energy is a spectrum from underactive to overactive. As a Spinal Energetics practitioner, I intend to support my clients in meeting the middle path of homeostasis; balance, as we believe that wellbeing is each person’s birthright.
Through light yet powerful touch (and often no touch), an organic flow of movement and sound begins and progresses to shift, unwind, discover and release tension, resistance, and stories that may have been stored in the body. The movements and sounds are natural and primordial, they are a response to the treatment and are driven by an individual's energy, intuition and instinct.
Spinal Energetics is not something we ‘do’ to a client, it is a practice of collaboration to cultivate and support deep self-awareness in our clients to help them soften and-or strengthen patterns of resistance and-or submission that may be preventing wellbeing from flowing to them.
Spinal Energetics is influenced by various modalities, such as Network Spinal, Kundalini Activation Process, Alpha Alignment, Shamanism, Inner Dance, Reiki, Esoteric Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Trauma Release and Pranayama. With the incorporation of philosophies of Buddhism, Hinduism, Chinese Medicine, Yogic and Meditative traditions.

Frequently Asked Q’s
-
Spinal Energetics is beneficial for most people, although there are some contraindications.
Spinal Energetics can help with stress, anxiety, depression, headaches, stomach pains, digestive issues, irregular moods, jaw clenching, low libido, muscle tension, aches & pains, obsessive thinking, poor energy levels, feeling reactive, stuck, repeating the same patterns, disconnected from your true self.
These are all signs of an overactive sympathetic nervous system. It so easy for the nervous system to get overburdened. There are many ways to help calm the nervous system. Spinal energetics is a safe and gentle way to take care of you and help your body release past traumas, unprocessed emotions and physical tensions.
-
Each person’s response to the treatment is very unique. Some people move a little, others move a lot during their first session. Some people take months or years; other’s never ‘move’ at all.
It is important to note, that the amount of movement does not directly correlate to the amount of depth or benefits a person may receive during a session.
-
Everyone is going to be slightly different as we all have different life experiences, different levels of stress, different traumas.
It is recommended that you commit to at least 3-6 sessions, to begin with.
This will give you a good chance to adapt to this new way of unwinding and for the treatments to be of themes benefit and value to your well-being.
I encourage my clients to intuitively dictate the pace of their Spinal Energetics journey. There is no right or wrong, however, this is not a one session ‘fix’ this process needs repetition.
-
Everyones experience is unique to them.
Common experiences during a spinal energetics session are:
Energy sensations, heat, cold, tingling, energy currents.
Spontaneous body movements – this could be a twitch, stretch, yoga poses, serpent like flows.
Emotional releases – stuck, suppressed, unprocessed emotions may arise. It is not uncommon to cry, laugh etc.
Visual experiences
-
After sessions of Spinal Energetics people have reported feeling an ease of physical symptoms they may have been experiencing, better quality sleep, clearer mind, less mood swings, reduced anxiety and overall stress, less tension in the body, increased energy levels, deeper connection to their higher self.
Spinal energetics helps to calm your nervous system bringing you to a state of balance and calm.
-
It is not uncommon to notice some subtle shifts in the days after a session. You may feel some emotions coming to surface, change in energy levels, regions of ease or mild discomfort. For most people the integration period is up to three days post session.
-
Spinal Energetics is working with the nervous system to help release stored trauma and promote healing and recovery.
The spine is considered the foundation of the body and the nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body and regulating various bodily functions.
The technique involves gentle touch/no touch, movement and awareness exercise to create a more balanced flow of energy throughout the body, which can help promote healing and improve overall health.
-
Sessions go from 30-45 minutes depending on whether it is a first consultation or a follow up.
-
1-2 weeks between visits when starting out with Spinal energetics.
It can take up to 72 hours to integrate. During this time the body is still unwinding and old emotions that the body now feels safe to process can come to surface.
For this reason we do not advise back to back appointments to allow the body time to process and integrate.
-
Those who are not used to energy work or do not have mind/body connection can feel less than those that engage in a regular practice.
As you increase your mind/body connection, you will be able to tap into the sensations.
Increasing meditation, felt sense meditations, breathwork, yoga and trying a group session can all help increase energy connection.
-
A core healing function of Spinal Energetics is cultivating self-awareness: discovering, connecting and claiming ownership of one’s energy; creative, spiritual, and even political, and committing to walking a liberated path of authenticity.
-
Because our energy is constantly being impacted by many differing factors from within and from around us, and each person is so truly unique.
Spinal Energetics wholeheartedly believes that cross-pollinating eastern and western modalities together is a way of meeting these varying needs with as much safety, care, and tools are possible.
