Developed by Dr. Sarah Jane, a Chiropractor and Counselor, Spinal Energetics is a unique practice that blends Eastern and Western wisdom. It focuses on the interconnectedness of your spine, nervous system, and energy field. This approach aims to awaken your inner wisdom, empowering you to heal and thrive. We are more than just our physical bodies. Each of us possesses a unique energy field that encompasses our physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and soul aspects. This energy is influenced by our ancestry, experiences, and even our character. Spinal Energetics acknowledges that energy can become imbalanced, leading to disharmony. Our goal is to guide you towards a state of homeostasis, a natural balance that promotes overall well-being. We believe this state of balance is your birthright. Through gentle touch, or sometimes no touch at all, a natural process of movement and sound unfolds. This process helps to unwind tension, release stored emotions, and uncover stories held within your body. The movements and sounds are unique to each individual, guided by your own energy, intuition, and instincts. Spinal Energetics is not about imposing a solution. It's a collaborative journey where we support you in cultivating deep self-awareness. This awareness empowers you to soften or strengthen patterns that may be hindering your well-being. Spinal Energetics is informed by a variety of modalities, including Network Spinal, Alpha Alignment, Shamanism, and more. It also draws inspiration from philosophies like Buddhism, Hinduism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This rich blend of influences creates a holistic approach to healing.

In an online session, the practitioner tunes into the client's energetic field remotely. Energy healing is not bound by physical proximity because it operates on the principles of quantum physics, which suggest that energy is not limited by time or space. During an online Spinal Energetics session, the client is guided through movements and breathwork while the practitioner observes and supports the process. The practitioner works with the body’s subtle energies by focusing on areas of tension or stagnation in the spine, helping the client to release emotional, physical, and energetic blockages. The body and energy field respond to the practitioner’s guidance, enabling healing to occur much like in-person sessions, with clients reporting similar benefits such as relaxation, emotional release, and alignment.

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.

We recommend committing to at least 3 sessions, to begin with. This will give you a chance to adapt to the treatment, and for the treatments to be of the most benefit and value to your well-being.

We do not offer sessions to those in their first or final trimester. During your second trimester, we recommend only booking with a practitioner that is also a Chiropractor.

SomatIQ Breathwork is a practice that combines breathwork techniques with somatic practices to help you connect with your body and mind. It can promote relaxation, emotional release, and mental clarity. Our trademarked method of somatic breathwork reconnects the power of our mind back to the innate wisdom of the body, offering an experiential and transformational approach to growth and healing. Rooted in neuroscience, our approach uses somatic-based breathwork, bodywork, and coaching techniques to safely identify and address undigested emotions and physical tension laying dormant in the body. By developing somatic sensing skills, individuals move toward clarity and authentic alignment.

The practice involves guided breathing exercises and somatic techniques that help you regulate your nervous system, increase oxygen intake, and connect with your body's sensations. This can lead to deep relaxation and self-awareness.

Benefits may include reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood, better sleep, enhanced focus, and an increased sense of well-being.

While generally safe, individuals with certain medical conditions (such as heart issues, respiratory problems, or pregnancy) should consult a healthcare provider before starting. Contraindications: SomatIQ Breathwork™ is intended as a personal growth experience and should not be looked upon as a substitute for psychotherapy. It is not appropriate for pregnant women, for persons with cardiovascular problems, including angina or heart attack, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, history of seizures, stroke, major psychiatric conditions, recent surgery, acute infectious illness, or epilepsy. If you have any doubt about whether you should participate, please consult with your primary care physician. Persons with asthma should bring their inhaler and consult with their primary care physician.

Sessions typically include guided breathing exercises, somatic movements, and mindfulness practices. You may experience physical sensations, emotional release, or deep relaxation.

Sessions vary in length, typically lasting from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the specific program or practitioner. SomaITW Breathwork Journey is typically 90 minutes, as it includes preparation, introduction, 60 minute journey, with a time for integration. Whereas, a SomatIQ Breathwork RESET is designed to be a reset the nervous system. The Daily SomatIQ Breathwork practice can be done in as little as 5-10 minutes. It all depends on your individual and unique needs.

Wear comfortable clothing and remove any jewelry or items that may get in the way to allow for easy movement and breathing.

Stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and arrive with an open mind and readiness to explore your breath and body. Please feel free to bring a yoga mat, blanket, crystals or journal to aid you with your session. It can also be beneficial to feel into a one-word intention for your session. What do you want to receive more of in life, what do you want to embody? It is usually the first word that comes to mind.

After a session, you may feel relaxed, energized, or experience emotional release. Some people report feelings of clarity or lightness and others can sometimes experience a deeper connection with themselves, their body, their breath and others.

Drink plenty of water and take time to integrate the experience. Reflecting through journaling or meditation can help process any emotions or thoughts. I always invite you to protect your energy during the 72 hour period after your session, giving yourself permission to say no, set boundaries and really focus on yourself.

The frequency of practice varies depending on your goals and how you feel after sessions. Some people benefit from weekly practice, while others may prefer a few times a month. A SomatIQ Breathwork Journey is a deeper process and can be done less frequently, every 2 weeks maximum, but ideally monthly to decompress and maintain nervous system regulation. However, a SomatIQ Breathwork Reset or Daily Practice can be done more frequently to maintain balance and avoid accumulating more stress, emotions and tension within the body.

Yes, it can complement other practices such as yoga, meditation, or exercise to enhance overall well-being. In fact, it is paired beautifully with other nervous system and somatic practices like Spinal Energetics, Kakao Ceremonies, sound healing and so much more. Variety is super beneficial for nervous system regulation, somatic healing and overall wellbeing.

Yes, once you are familiar with the techniques, you can practice at home. Starting with guided sessions can help you understand the practices better. One of our goals is to teach you the skills and techniques to add to your own journey to health and wellness. Online 1:1 or group sessions can make attending easier and more accessible. Group sessions can be more affordable and can be extra beneficial because of the permission we give one-another to express. There is a path for everyone, and I encourage you to choose a session that feels best for your unique requirements.

While SomatIQ Breathwork™ can be a deeply personal and introspective practice, it is not tied to any specific religion. You can adapt it to suit your personal beliefs. This practice is about connecting on a deeper level with your Soma (body), emotions, psyche, and all parts of yourself for greater health and wellbeing.
