WHAT IS SPINAL FLOW?
Spinal Flow is a healing technique that works with the central nervous system to help the body release stored emotional, physical and chemical stress. Founded by Dr. Carli Axford, this technique provides a gentle yet powerful pathway to creating positive change in our physical and mental health. Working directly with the central nervous system by using areas of light touch along the spine, Spinal Flow re-educates the body. With regular sessions we can begin to consistently release and regulate our stress, reducing the need to brace and armor against life and all its ups and downs. We begin to come home to ourselves as a safe space. We begin to flow not just internally, but with the external situations we encounter.
​There is no cracking, forcing or manipulating of the spine during a Spinal Flow session. This work is more about training your nervous system to relax into safety, which allows for your inner intelligence to direct healing to wherever your body needs it.
​
As Nannette uses light touch to connect with the access points along the spine, the flow of energy within the spine and central channel is increased. This specific, safe and consistent touch sends a signal to the brain of safety, ease and well-being throughout the nervous system. As the spinal wave is freed up to move more easily, the client is able to sink into their own sense of connection to themself, which fosters a sense of ongoing peace and wellness deep inside the body and mind. Once the body begins to let down its need to armor against stress, the muscles, bones, fascia and ligaments relax into their natural positions. Pain eases up or disappears. Blockages along the spine melt away. And the healthy movement of spinal fluid, energy and cellular intelligence flows on a more regular basis. Clients often report feelings of peace, clarity, reduced pain and increased well-being after just one session, and with continued sessions many clients report positive changes to their posture, physical health and mental well-being.
​
As continued sessions of Spinal Flow release us from living in "fight or flight" mode, our perception is able to broaden from the narrow band we've been seeing the world through. This is where the big changes begin to happen. We see life as a loving, supportive experience. We stop reacting. We begin to view our environment with a new lens...one of compassion, care, respect and empowerment. We begin to truly live our potential.
​
Nannette will do an initial health history intake with you on your first visit. You will have time to share the health and overall wellness concerns that are on your mind. Working as partners in creating a new level of holistic health, you and Nannette will discuss what your body is indicating with your assessments and together you will make a plan for how you wish to proceed.
UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN GATEWAYS OF THE SPINE
The Spinal Flow Technique works by understanding the 7 Gateways of the Spine, and what originates in each one. Our physical health, mental and emotional balance, and connection to our soul level awareness are all connected to the health of our spine and nervous system.
By understanding what is connected to each of the 7 Gateways and using specific access points, the Spinal Flow Practitioner can work with your body in an informed, intentional and effective way to restore function and balance to areas that have been out of alignment.
When we begin to live life from a place of alignment and restored function, we can perceive from a
new perspective and things that once seemed impossible begin to feel effortless.
WHAT IS BIOFIELD TUNING?
Biofield Tuning, a modality developed by sound healing pioneer and respected researcher Eileen McKusick, is a powerful yet graceful way to bring our bio-electric energy systems back into harmony and coherence. With the use of tuning forks and specific frequencies, the practitioner works in the field of stored memories, events and thought patterns around the client. This torus shaped flow of energy that surrounds each of us contains our lifetime (and past lifetimes) of information and experience. By combing through this biofield with an array of sound and vibration from the forks, the practitioner is able to help the client release areas of stuck or frozen energy that exist due to trauma and overwhelming experiences from our past. In Biofield Tuning, we often describe this as removing the noise from the signal. Stress and overload create "static" or incoherence in our field. A tuning session helps to eliminate the "static" and help us carry a more intact, coherent electrical flow of information that informs our entire being. Once the areas of tangled or frozen energy are freed up and we begin transmitting a more clear, resonant signal in our field, this formerly inaccessible energy is re-introduced to the body, where it can be utilized as pure life force energy.
The results of these sessions are often profound. During the session, both practitioner and client may experience deepened intuitive/clairvoyant/clairaudient knowing about events from the past and how they have shaped current habits, beliefs and perspectives. Nannette uses her decades of experience from her master level training in reiki, shamanic energy medicine and angelic light language to further deepen and enhance the transformation offered by this work.
​
These sessions are meant for those who are generally in good health and who are willing to take a deeper dive into the patterns of the energy field that have shaped us. Occasionally when pockets of stuck energy are released, the body will respond with release patterns that may show up as detox symptoms for a day or two. Alternately, once stored patterns have been released, clients may feel a huge surge of freedom, lightness and energy following the session. Many clients experience spontaneous moments of clarity for days and weeks after their session as perceptual shifts continue to integrate.

If you are currently in treatment for cancer, have had a recent concussion or brain injury, are pregnant or use electric devices implanted in the body such as a pacemaker, Biofield Tuning may not be right for you at this time. Feel free to reach out to Nannette to discuss any concerns you may have if you are curious about scheduling an appointment.
