FAQs

  • Spinal Energetics is for most people, though there are a few situations where it may not be suitable.

    If you're dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, headaches, stomach discomfort, digestive issues, jaw clenching, low libido, or general aches and tension, you’re not alone. Many of these symptoms are signs that your nervous system is in overdrive. You might also notice yourself stuck in patterns, feeling reactive, disconnected, or just low on energy.

    Spinal Energetics offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support your nervous system. It helps the body unwind stored stress, physical tension, and emotional buildup, creating space for deep healing, reconnection, and balance.

  • Every person's experience with Spinal Energetics is unique. Some may have noticeable movement during their first session, while others may not move at all, even after several sessions. For some, movement builds slowly over time; for others, it may never happen.

    It’s important to understand that movement isn't a measure of how deep or effective a session is. A still body can experience just as much healing as one that moves. The process meets you exactly where you are.

  • Everyone’s experience will be unique because we all carry different life stories, stress levels, and emotional layers.

    To truly feel the benefits of Spinal Energetics, I recommend starting with 3 to 6 sessions. This gives your body and nervous system time to adjust to the work and begin releasing in a meaningful way.

    There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. I encourage you to tune in and move at your own pace. While one session can be powerful, deep healing takes time and consistency. This isn’t a quick fix; it’s a process of gentle, ongoing transformation.

  • Each person’s experience is different because we all carry our own history, stress, and life events.

    I typically suggest beginning with 3 to 6 sessions. This allows your body time to settle into the process and for the work to start unfolding in a deeper, more lasting way.

    There’s no “right” timeline. I invite my clients to listen to their own intuition and move at a pace that feels right for them. While one session can be powerful, true healing through Spinal Energetics often comes with consistency and time. It’s not a quick fix, it’s a journey.

  • Most of my clients work with me remotely, and in my experience, distance sessions are just as powerful, if not more so. Many clients find it easier to connect with the work when they’re in the comfort and safety of their own space.

    Being in a familiar environment often allows for deeper relaxation, which helps the body surrender and respond more openly to the session.

  • Spinal Energetics is not offered during the first or third trimester of pregnancy. If you’re in your second trimester and feeling well, sessions may be possible with care and proper support.

  • Everyone’s experience with Spinal Energetics is completely unique.

    Some common things people may experience during a session include:

    – Sensations of energy like warmth, coolness, tingling, or gentle currents
    – Involuntary movements such as twitches, stretches, flowing motions, or even poses similar to yoga
    – Emotional release—sometimes emotions that have been held in or unprocessed may rise to the surface. Crying, laughter, or waves of feeling are all normal
    – Visual imagery or inner visions

    Each session meets you exactly where you are.

  • Many people report feeling lighter, more grounded, and at ease after a session. Common shifts include relief from physical discomfort, improved sleep, a clearer mind, fewer mood swings, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of calm. Some also notice more energy and a stronger connection to themselves and their intuition.

    Spinal Energetics works by calming the nervous system, helping the body return to a more balanced and regulated state.

  • It’s completely normal to notice subtle shifts in the days following a session. You might experience changes in energy levels, emotional releases, or sensations of ease, or even mild discomfort, as your body processes the work.

    For most people, the integration period lasts up to three days, but everyone’s experience is different and unfolds in its own time.

  • Spinal Energetics works with the nervous system to help release stored stress, tension, and unresolved trauma, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.

    The spine is the body’s foundation, and the nervous system plays a key role in regulating how we feel, function, and respond to life.

    Using a combination of light or no touch, subtle movement, and guided awareness, this technique helps restore balance in the body’s energy flow, encouraging deep healing, clarity, and improved overall well-being.

  • Spinal Energetics is a healing modality and intuitive practice created by Dr. Sarah Jane, a holistic chiropractor and counsellor.

    This work connects with a person’s unique energetic field, bridging the physical body, emotional patterns, mental state, and spiritual essence. Through this connection, Spinal Energetics supports deep healing and can guide individuals toward a higher state of awareness and consciousness.

  • Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on whether it’s your initial consultation or a follow-up appointment.

  • When first beginning Spinal Energetics, sessions are usually spaced 1–2 weeks apart.

    Integration can take up to 72 hours, during which the body continues to unwind and may release stored emotions that now feel safe to surface. Because of this, back-to-back sessions aren’t recommended; it’s important to give your body time to process and fully absorb the work.

  • Everyone responds differently, especially if you’re new to energy work or still building a mind-body connection. Some people feel a lot right away, while others may notice more subtle shifts at first.

    Practices like meditation, breathwork, yoga, and felt-sense awareness can help strengthen your connection to your body and energy.. Be patient with yourself, your body will respond in its own way and at its own pace.

  • What is the purpose of Spinal Energetics?
    The heart of Spinal Energetics lies in cultivating self-awareness, helping individuals reconnect with their own energy on every level: physical, emotional, creative, spiritual, and even energetic patterns shaped by life experience.

    While talk therapy can be incredibly helpful, it doesn’t work for everyone, especially for those who struggle to express themselves verbally or who feel disconnected from their emotions. Spinal Energetics offers a different path to healing by working through the body and nervous system, allowing stored emotions and unresolved experiences to release without needing to be put into words.

    It supports people in reclaiming their authenticity and stepping into a more liberated, aligned version of themselves.
