Dr. Sarah Jane, a chiropractor and counselor, developed Spinal Energetics as a modality that blends Eastern and Western ideas to engage with a person's spine, nervous system, and energetic field, with the aim of using their own innate wisdom to heal themselves.
Spinal Energetics practitioners believe that every living being is not just a physical form, but also an energetic one, made up of different aspects, including physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and soul, interwoven with their ancestry, experiences, stories, personality, and character.
Energy can be underactive or overactive, and Spinal Energetics practitioners aim to help clients find balance, or homeostasis, which they believe is everyone's right to achieve. Through gentle touch or no touch, natural movements and sounds emerge, driven by the client's energy, intuition, and instinct, to release stored tension, resistance, and stories that may be held in the body.
Spinal Energetics is not a practice that practitioners do to clients, but rather a collaborative effort to promote deep self-awareness, helping clients identify and address patterns of resistance or submission that may impede their well-being.
Spinal Energetics draws from a variety of modalities, including Network Spinal, Kundalini Activation Process, Alpha Alignment, Shamanism, Inner Dance, Reiki, Esoteric Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Trauma Release, and Pranayama, as well as various philosophies from Buddhism, Hinduism, Chinese Medicine, Yogic, and Meditative traditions.
