Spinal Energetics Sydney - Level 2 Practitioner

---

 Spinal Energetics is a gentle, body-based practice developed by chiropractor and holistic counsellor Dr Sarah Jane Perri. Combining Eastern philosophies with Western understandings of the spine, nervous system and human behaviour, it recognises the interconnected nature of our physical, emotional, mental and energetic wellbeing.

Our bodies continually respond and adapt to life's experiences. Stress, emotions and habitual patterns can influence how we breathe, move, hold tension and experience the world around us.

Through gentle touch, no-touch techniques and careful observation, Spinal Energetics works with the spine, nervous system and energetic field to support the body's natural capacity for awareness, adaptation and self-regulation.

Rather than forcing movement or release, the practitioner works collaboratively with your body's responses, creating a supportive environment where you can soften, unwind and reconnect with yourself.

You may experience spontaneous movement, changes in breathing, emotional expression, subtle sensations or deep stillness. Every experience is unique, and there is no expectation for your body to respond in a particular way.

At its heart, Spinal Energetics is about listening to the body rather than trying to fix it, honouring its innate intelligence and supporting a greater sense of balance, connection and wellbeing.

  Your first session begins with a conversation about how you're feeling, what you've been experiencing and anything you would like support with. It's also completely okay if you don't have a specific goal in mind.

You'll then lie comfortably on a treatment table, fully clothed, while I work with gentle touch and no-touch techniques around the body, spine and energetic field.

During the session, you may experience changes in your breathing, physical sensations, emotional expression, spontaneous movement, sound or deep stillness and relaxation. Every person and every session is different, and there is no expectation for your body to respond in a particular way.

My role is to listen, observe and work collaboratively with your body's responses, creating a supportive environment where you can feel safe to soften, unwind and reconnect with yourself. Nothing is forced, and you remain in control of your experience throughout.

We finish with time to rest, integrate your experience and discuss anything that may have arisen, along with gentle guidance to support you following your session.

Spinal Energetics can involve both gentle touch and no physical touch. When touch is used, it is light and may be around different areas of the body, including along the spine and back of the head.

Spinal Energetics does not involve chiropractic adjustments, forceful manipulation or physically moving your spine into position.

Your comfort is important throughout the session, and the practice can be adapted where appropriate.

 Our bodies are constantly responding to our internal and external environments. Stress, emotions and life experiences can influence how we breathe, move and hold tension within the body.

During a Spinal Energetics session, some people experience spontaneous or involuntary movements. These may be subtle, such as changes in breathing, gentle stretching, twitching or small adjustments, while others may experience more expressive movements or emotional responses.

These movements may reflect changes in muscle tension, relaxation, awareness or nervous system activity. Rather than consciously creating movement, you're encouraged to remain present and allow your body to respond naturally, without expectation or judgement.

Importantly, movement is not the goal of Spinal Energetics. Stillness can be just as meaningful, and a more expressive physical response does not indicate a deeper or more effective session.

Every body responds differently, and each experience is honoured without the need to force, interpret or achieve a particular outcome.

  That's completely okay. Movement is not a measure of how effective or meaningful your Spinal Energetics session is.

Every body is different, and responses can vary from session to session. Some people experience spontaneous movement or emotional expression, while others notice subtle sensations, changes in breathing, deep relaxation or simply a sense of stillness.

Spinal Energetics is not about achieving a particular physical response. It's about creating space to slow down, develop greater body awareness and reconnect with yourself.

Stillness can be just as meaningful as movement. There is nothing you need to force, perform or achieve. Your experience is unique to you, and whatever arises is welcomed without judgement.

Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move and relax easily. You remain fully clothed throughout your session.

Layers are helpful as your temperature may change while you are resting. If possible, avoid hooded jumpers, collared shirts or clothing that restricts access to the neck and spine.

If you have long hair, please bring a hair tie, and avoid wearing bulky jewellery.

I also recommend avoiding caffeine for approximately four hours before your session and arriving comfortably hydrated.

 Yes. I offer online Spinal Energetics sessions via Zoom for clients who cannot attend the Curated Energies space in person or prefer to experience the session from their own home.

Online sessions follow the same collaborative philosophy as in-person Spinal Energetics and are individually tailored to you.

For an online session, you will need a quiet and private space where you can comfortably lie down, reliable internet access and enough uninterrupted time to experience the session and gently integrate afterwards. Please contact me if you would like to book an online session and I will send you a link for the appointment.

 I offer one to one Spinal Energetics sessions at Curated Energies in Cremorne on Sydney's Lower North Shore.

  The number of sessions varies based on your goals and needs. Some people experience profound shifts after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from an ongoing journey. 

I recommend initially booking a series of 3 - 6 sessions. We will then we will revisit how you are feeling, where the shifts are being experienced and next steps.

No. Spinal Energetics is not chiropractic treatment and does not involve chiropractic adjustments or manipulation of the spine. It is a complementary wellbeing practice using gentle touch and no-touch techniques, movement and awareness. 

Both Spinal Energetics and Reiki are gentle, complementary practices that support relaxation, self-awareness and a deeper connection with yourself. While they share similarities, their approaches and experiences can be quite different.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that involves gentle touch or hands held just above the body. Sessions are generally quiet and deeply restful, inviting you to slow down, relax and experience a sense of calm and balance.

Spinal Energetics is a more dynamic, body-based practice that draws on Eastern and Western philosophies, working with the spine, nervous system and energetic field. Through gentle touch, no-touch techniques and observation of the body's responses, it encourages greater awareness of physical sensations, tension, movement and emotional experiences.

During Spinal Energetics, some people experience spontaneous movement, changes in breathing or emotional expression, while others remain deeply still. Neither response is expected or forced.

Both practices honour the body's innate capacity for adaptation and self-regulation, with the practitioner creating a supportive environment rather than trying to force a particular outcome.

At Curated Energies, I offer both modalities independently or can thoughtfully integrate elements of each within an Intuitive Healing session, depending on your individual needs and preferences.
