What is Spinal Energetics?
Spinal Energetics is a growing healing modality developed by Chiropractor Dr. Sarah Jane Perri. It combines Eastern and Western philosophy and has drawn influence from several diverse modalities including Network Spinal, Kundalini Activation Process, Craniosacral Therapy, Trauma Release, Polyvagal Theory, Alpha Alignment and Reiki.
Through light, intentional and powerful touch - or in some instances, the absence of touch – an organic flow of movement and sound is stimulated. As this energy unfolds, deep-seated tension patterns, resistance and emotions stored within the body gradually unwind themselves. I (the Practitioner) work with your breathe, spine, nervous system and energetic field to access and invite your body’s innate intelligence to begin to unwind long-standing tension patterns.
The movement (physical, sound, breathe changes, emotions) that is initiated is driven by an individual’s intrinsic energy, intuition and instincts. This work is not “performed” on the individual, rather it is a dynamic collaboration of Practitioner knowledge/skill and client wisdom/agency. The opportunity for improved self-awareness, healing and reconnection to your mind & body gradually unfolds creating balance within, as you are fully supported in a safe space.
Spinal Energetics is a gateway to move past limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you and allows you to let go of past experiences still being held within the body (spine, muscles, fascia, cells).
Note: Spinal Energetics is a powerful modality and requires a commitment to oneself (and the work) to receive the full benefits it can have in your life. One session alone will not provide the full benefit one can experience with this work. *Remember it has taken a lifetime to store tension, emotions, patterns in the body so it is reasonable to assume that unwinding these patterns and creating safety in the body will take some consistency and self-commitment* Please consider this when embarking on the path to exploring this modality.
