Spinal Energetics
Spinal Energetics is an innovative energy healing modality developed by Dr. Sarah Jane Perri, a chiropractor and counselor. Combining her expertise in Network Spinal Chiropractic with extensive studies of Eastern practices, Dr. Perri has created a powerful approach that integrates Eastern and Western philosophies to harmonize your spine, nervous system, and energy field.
In Spinal Energetics, we work with the physical spine and the nervous system through the energetic field to shift, unwind, discover, and release deep-seated tension patterns, resistance, and unprocessed emotions through an organic deepening of the breath, expression of sound, or the need to move or stretch. Spinal Energetics allows us to release and let go, without reliving painful memories.
This modality fosters deep introspection and helps us reconnect with our true selves. Through Spinal Energetics we can discover, connect with, and take ownership of our energy. By exploring the depths of your inner self and establishing a strong connection with your energy, you are ultimately paving the way to a liberated and authentic path.
This practice harnesses the innate wisdom within you—the same wisdom that heals wounds, keeps your heart beating, and organizes your physical body and energetic layers.
Our bodies record all past experiences. Tension or stored energy can accumulate when we encounter events beyond our tolerance. Spinal Energetics allows us to access these areas of disconnection and tension, inviting anything unprocessed, or that no longer supports us to surface, be felt, expressed, and integrated.
It’s important to understand that Spinal Energetics is a collaborative practice, not something imposed on a client. Practitioners facilitate a journey of deep self-awareness, holding space for clients to heal themselves
This truly transformative work does require a high level of commitment from the client in order to get the most out of what Spinal Energetics has to offer them. If you are ready and have been looking for more, this is your opportunity.
What to Expect
Before your session
Before your first Spinal Energetics session, there will be extra time to ensure you and your practitioner have a meaningful and comprehensive introduction before diving into the treatment. This includes getting to know you better and understanding your unique journey and intentions.
It's important to foster a genuine connection with you, as this will enhance the effectiveness of your work together. We want to hear about your experiences, what has led you to seek Spinal Energetics, and what you hope to achieve through the sessions.
This time will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the process, the techniques involved, and what you can expect. Your comfort and understanding are paramount, and we are here to ensure you feel supported and informed every step of the way.
During your session
r
Each session is unique, and tailored to your individual needs and state of being. You’ll be lying on a treatment table for about 45 minutes, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothing.
The session begins with a physical assessment to understand tension patterns in your body. Your practitioner will use gentle touch along your spine to connect with access points and gather information. You may hear various sounds during the session—these help guide the process and focus energy where needed.
Responses vary from person to person and may include sensations like tingling, warmth, deep relaxation, or emotional release. Some experience subtle shifts, while others may feel movements, stretching, or spontaneous expressions like laughing or crying. Every response is welcome and part of the healing process.
For new clients, sessions are intentionally slow to help build a strong mind-body connection and create a sense of safety. The goal is not movement itself but facilitating awareness and energetic shifts in a way that supports your healing.
After your session
Spinal Energetics works with both your physical body and energetic self, helping to enhance communication between them. Because this can bring up a lot to process and integrate, it’s important to give yourself time to rest and nurture your body after each session.
Avoid intense energetic work immediately after. Instead, gentle practices like meditation, journaling, yoga, or massage can support your integration.
Your response to a session may continue for 12-72 hours, sometimes longer. You might experience:
Feeling light-headed, energized, or fatigued
Detox symptoms like nausea, headaches, or digestive changes
Emotional releases (crying, laughing, anger)
Increased body awareness and breath changes
Sensations of ease or discomfort
Be kind to yourself—drink plenty of water, rest, move gently, and listen to your body as it integrates the session.
