Spinal Flow FAQs

  • If you have pain in your body, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, headaches, chronic illness or acute symptoms Spinal Flow can be helpful. The reason it is so broad is because a Spinal Flow treatment is supporting your nervous system to activate the self healing in your body. By moving your body out of the alert, sympathetic nervous system and into the restful, parasympathetic state, your body will take care of the healing. Simply bringing you into a restful state allows your immune system, digestive system and adrenal system to activate normally. You will reduce your cortisol responsible for many chronic illnesses and increase your oxytocin, so you will feel safe and relaxed and able to sleep, further enhancing your body’s ability to heal.

  • A typical Spinal Flow session with me is 45mins, sometimes less for kids. Allow an hour for your first visit so we can do an initial assessment.

  • No. You will be fully clothed, although it would be great if you can avoid wearing athletic tights or bulky jeans as I need to be able to make contact with your sacrum.

  • Ideally, you will be able to lie face down on the massage bed. If you can’t lie face down, the next best things is on your side. If you can’t lie down at all, I can use points on your head while you are sitting up. If you have specialised mobility needs please call me to discuss so we can work out a plan.

  • In a session, I use gentle touch on your sacrum (back of your pelvis) and may also move to points on your head. I may also move around you body to increase the spinal wave. It is always gentle touch, you may not feel my touch at times as you are focused on what is going on inside your body. What I am looking for is the ‘spinal wave’ that travels through your body. This wave indicates that your body is ‘working’ to clear blockages and to bring you into a healing state. My intention is that every session will bring change to your body, and that all change is good.

  • How this treatment is experienced by my clients varies. Some people find that it is like a meditation, and they go into themselves and find the session to be very peaceful and rejuvenating. Others may feel their breathe increase and their body move with the ‘spinal wave’. It is not unusual to feel emotional, to cry or even feel unwell. Your body will respond as it needs to and you may find that it feels different, depending on whether the priority for your body is to clear emotional, physical or chemical blockages.

    You may experience less pain and discomfort after a session, but sometimes, especially when the condition has existed for some time, possibly even decades, there may in fact be more pain for a while as the changes take place in your body. Please let me know if you are worried about any pain you have after a treatment so we can address it.

  • I have clients who come weekly (and sometimes more often if their symptoms are acute) and some that come once a fortnight. As we work holistically it will depend on many factors so we would agree this together at your first session as it depends on what your needs are.

  • Yes, you can claim through a self managed NDIS plan.. please check with me if you need help with this.


Holistic Therapy FAQs

  • The first session will be a lot of talking as I learn more about you, what you are experiencing and how I can support you.

    I will use a combination of muscle monitoring, counselling and somatic work in each session as work together to clear blockages and align to your needs.

    To balance your body we may use techniques such as:
    - Acupressure points
    - Essences/ crystals
    - Assess diet and lifestyle choices
    - Visualisation
    - Clear limiting beliefs
    - Spinal Flow Technique

  • The most likely reasons my clients come to see me are:
    - Anxiety/ depression
    - Insomnia
    - Pain in the body
    - Chronic illness
    - Feeling stuck or lonely

    I see my role as an interpreter for my clients so that when they experience a symptom, we can address what the body needs to find more comfort.

    As a kinesiologist I have full faith in your body to heal once we create the right conditions. My focus is to support the body at an energetic level to find homeostasis so that it can heal itself.

  • I like to allow 90mins for a session. In this time we will be able to spend some time talking about what is happening for you, to investigate the contributing factors and then balance your body.
