Spinal ENERGETICS

FIREBIRD
Your body has been holding things your mind hasn't had words for.
Spinal Energetics is a gentle, hands-on and off-body modality that works with the spine and the nervous system to move what's been stored — tension, held emotion, the bracing you've stopped noticing because it's become normal.
There's no adjusting or force. I use light touch along the spine and energy field to create an environment where the nervous system can unravel. What moves is different for everyone. Most people describe warmth, softening, a wave through the spine, a breath that goes deeper than it has in months.

WHY IT KEEPS COMING BACK
Your body isn't malfunctioning.
It is communicating.
If you have a high levels of stress, a reoccurring pain or pattern, you've probably had it treated. You've talked about it, massaged, released, adjusted. And it continues to came back within the week or two.
That's not because the treatment failed. It's because the pattern was never in the mind or the muscle, it's was in the nervous system that keeps triggering the body.
Chronic, recurring tension is often wired to an emotional trigger. Your body learned to brace to keep you safe. The threat has long passed, but the pathway still fires.
And most of this is happening below conscious awareness.
You may have no idea you're carrying it. No memory of deciding to. No language for it. You can't think your way to something you don't have words for.
It lives deeper, in the spine, in the innate intelligence of the body.
Which is exactly where we work.
Symptoms are never random. Your body is remarkably intelligent. It doesn't create tension arbitrarily, it creates a signal. And the signal is usually saying one thing: stop suppressing, stop burying your needs, stop ignoring what you already know you need to address.
We can carry tension for so long sometimes you stop noticing it or you don't realise how bad it actually got because it's become normal to you.
You hold your stress in your neck, your shoulders, your jaw and you know it, and you can't seem to shift it.
Maybe you're the one who holds everything together for everyone else.
Maybe you've been in your head for a long time and you'd like to come back to your body.
Either way you just need to be willing to lie down and let something move.
Ninety minutes on the mat is where we stop overriding it and let it move.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Premise of Spinal Energetics
1. There is an innate intelligence within the body that governs our health.
2. Our bodies are surrounded by energetic fields that reflect the workings of that intelligence.
3. Our bodies and minds are integrated systems that constantly influence one another.
What actually happens in a session?
You'll lie down fully clothed on a mat. I move through the room and work along the spine with light touch and off-body movement, following where your body draws me. Your job is to be present and receive. Your body may respond with movement — swaying, stretching, shaking, sound or stillness. All of it is welcome. All of it is normal.
Do I need to be flexible, spiritual, or experienced?
Not at all. You don't need to believe anything in advance. Most people arrive sceptical and curious. If you want to reconnect to your body, if you want to feel lighter, clearer and aligned, then this is the perfect place to start.
What if my body starts moving and I feel silly?
Everyone in the room is having their own experience, eyes closed, doing their own thing. Nobody is watching you. Movement is a sign your nervous system feels safe enough to let go, and the group field makes it easier, not harder. Also there is a chance you won't move and that doesn't take anything away from your experience, trust your body to guide you, let your mind rest.
Is this like a massage or a chiropractic adjustment?
No. Although the technique was developed by a chiropractor, there's no manipulation, or deep pressure. Spinal Energetics works with the intelligence already running your system, inviting release rather than imposing it. It's an experience more like reiki, although a very different technique that's very activating to the nervous system and body.
What might I feel afterwards?
The shift can keep working for up to 72 hours post-session. Most people feel relief, lighter and a sense of openness. Often a deep, easy tiredness that night and better sleep. Some people notice emotion moving in the days after, or tension leaving a place they'd stopped expecting to change. Drink water and let yourself be gentle with the rest of your day.
What do I bring and wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in, a small blanket if you like to be warm, and a water bottle. Mats and bolsters are provided. Arrive ten minutes early to settle in.
Is there anything that would mean this isn't right for me?
If you're pregnant, recovering from spinal surgery, in acute injury, or currently working through something significant with your health or mental health, just email me before booking and we'll talk it through. It's usually a yes, I'd just like to know.

Testimonial
What people experience
Spinal energetics with Lisa had a powerful calming effect on me. I highly recommend her healing services to anyone who needs a gentle reset to feel connected to their body again. As someone who cares for others professionally and personally, it was lovely to have found a healing experience that has helped me gently recenter my mind, body and energy. I was struggling to heal by myself, having just experienced several losses in a row, and was finding it hard to shift the grief that came with the loss of connection to others and myself. Lisa's safe space, conversation and practice helped calm my body down to help it heal and realign itself. Our bodies are smart enough to do this on their own, but sometimes it's nice to have a kind hand to help it along the journey.
1st session:
I had immediate effects after my first session,it released all the tension I was holding in my neck, upper and lower back, and my brain fog also vanished. I believed it would work, but I didn't think it would have such a profound effect on my body the first time. I felt lighter, centred and aligned through body and mind for the first time in months. It felt like a breath of fresh air had filled my body, I was no longer drowning in the dark.
2nd session:
My second session with Lisa was one week later. My brain fog was still long gone, my body feeling lighter but still tight. Lisa created a warm, safe space to practice in again. The second session was very different to the first, I could feel a physical unravelling alongside spinal activation. I felt like I wanted to stretch out my body the whole time, and I hummed throughout the session to help with the opening and unravelling my body was calling for. I noticed my spine felt warm and I could feel the energy moving up and down it, similar to how you feel it in yoga practice. I knew this was a good sign, as I hadn't felt this energy and opening of tight muscles in my back in a long time.
3rd session:
My third session with Lisa was four weeks later. I had been exercising a lot and was stressed by things I could not control. This session brought me back to my body and made me feel grounded almost immediately. This time I mostly took deep breaths during the session, wiggling and stretching my body throughout, surrendering to the process while gently repeating my mantra, let all my worries melt back into the earth. I finished the session feeling very calm and relaxed. My body had released the tension and worry in my upper back, Lisa once again worked her magic.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
I'm Lisa
I spent seventeen years inside clinical radiology, MRI. With a Masters, a career built on imaging the human body in extraordinary detail. I could show you a spine on a screen, layer by layer, millimetre by millimetre.
What the scan couldn't show me was what the body was holding.
Because I kept meeting people whose images came back clear while they still lived with pain and tension that wouldn't shift, exhaustion that sleep didn't touch, grief and stress and years of quietly getting on with it. But the body keeps the score, it was all of it stored somewhere the scan couldn't reach.
That question is what led me here.
Now I work as a Spinal Energetics practitioner and somatic, subconscious and nervous system coach. I work with the spine, the nervous system and the energy field to help the body release what it's been carrying, the tension, the emotion, the bracing we suppress for so long it starts to shape our health, our relationships and the way we show up in our lives.
I don't believe you're broken. I believe there's an innate intelligence in you that already knows how to unwind, and that most of us have simply been too busy, too armoured or too switched-off to hear it.
My work is about reconnecting you to that. To your body. To your own essence underneath the roles and the coping. Because when the tension moves, what's left is you, clearer, freer, more yourself.
Soul and science aren't opposites in my work. They're the same conversation. My clinical training taught me precision, safety and deep respect for the body's design. Everything since has taught me that the body is far more intelligent than the picture we take of it.
I'd love to hold space for you on the mat.

I've been where you are
Successful on paper, but depleted, I felt over worked, undervalued and underpaid, and a nervous system that reflected all of it.
