Spinal Energetics
is a somatic healing modality recognizing the spine as the conduit for your life force energy. By interacting with it physically and energetically, we are able to work with the nervous system and a person’s own innate wisdom to know and heal themselves.
It was developed by chiropractor and counselor Dr. Sarah Jane. She combined her expertise in Network Spinal Chiropractic and study in Eastern practices to create this unique modality.
With the understanding that each living being is energetic, we can check for fixations and points of disconnection not only in the physical spine but as well as the emotional, mental, spiritual, and soul layers of the energetic body. By utilizing intention, on and off the body touch, and sound the practitioner is able to connect with these points and guide them towards balance and coherence.
Spinal Energetics is not something ‘done’ to a client, it is a practice of collaboration to cultivate and support deep self-awareness in our clients to help them soften and/or strengthen patterns that may be preventing wellbeing from flowing to them. All in service to their authenticity.
Your Questions Answered
-
Although each person’s experience is as unique as their fingerprint, everyone begins to feel a stronger mind-body connection.
As this connection builds during a session and the body begins to feel safe different sensations can be felt such as, tingling, hot/cold, release or building of energy, light or heavy pressure etc. Some people have visuals and some people feel deeply. There can be twitching, shaking, crying, laughing, sighs, coughing, swaying or deep emotional release. Really anything that the body has an impulse to do is welcomed and can be experienced.
-
Each client will have specific reasons for coming to Spinal Energetics and therefore specific outcomes. For some they come because of headaches, chronic fatigue, pain. For others they feel disconnected from life, overwhelmed, or big changes are happening.

The nature of this work is energetic so it can be received in person and online. The field of energy is expansive! Of course there are differences in the experience between the two but the potency and effectiveness is the same.
The main difference for an online client is they will not receive physical touch and might be laying facing up instead of facing down. The magic of this work comes from the connection between practitioner and client as well as the client’s connection to their own body. With openness and consistency this work blossoms in person and online.
In person sessions are currently held in Lompoc, CA. I also offer home visits in Santa Barbara county (inquire more if interested).
-
In the philosophy of somatic energy work each persons energy body (aura or bio field) helps create a larger field. Whether people come to share a meal or in this case heal, each person contributes to the group.
In Spinal Energetics, this is called entrainment. Our bodies will harmonize to the most coherent frequency in the field, allowing for many possibilities to shift and heal.
You DO NOT take on the energy of anyone else. Your experience is with your own physical body and energy body but it is informed by the group field.
-
Movement is very common in a Spinal Energetics session because it is an important tool that our body’s innate intelligence uses to heal. However some people are more internal and that is how they also experience the session. It can feel like energy moving inside or it may be very visual.
Nothing is wrong or right. The session is NOT better if there is movement, it all depends on how it integrates post session. The attention we give to the body is also the safety and freedom for it to choose how it moves through the disconnection or tension.
-
This is what we call the integration period. Remember the tone of your spine represents the tone of your life. And sometimes when we connect to deep seated tensions, beliefs or ways of being, it can be uncomfortable (TEMPORARILY). It is changing the shape you usually take, so to speak.
So you may experience some of the benefits explained in the above question and you can also feel:
-Tiredness
-Dioriented or light-headed
-Detox symptoms such as nausea, change in bowel movements, headaches
-Change in menstrual cycle
-Increase or decrease in energy
-Emotional releases
-Receive insights or have your perspective shift
-Greater awareness of your body
-Regions of ease or discomfort
-
You can feel the benefits in just one session! People usually report relaxation and less stress or tension.
But we are working with the capacity of your body and how deep the traumas or patterns. So going slow, creating safety and a strong connection is fundamental to connect and release at the pace that is right for you.
Receiving sessions every other week is a great way to start. We will work together to see what frequency works best for you.
