Spinal Energetics is an integrative, somatic modality developed by Dr. Sarah Jane. It is a practice that blends principles from network spinal, craniosacral therapy, and neuroscience to help regulate the nervous system and unwind patterns of tension held within the body.
Through light, energetic touch on or near the body, the practice encourages a deeper connection between the brain and body. This supports a shift from a state of stress or "fight-or-flight" to one of safety, rest, and regulation. It is designed to work with your body’s innate intelligence, creating space for greater ease, presence, and resilience in your daily life.
Spinal Energetics is a complementary wellness practice and is not a replacement for medical care.
Sessions are performed fully clothed on a treatment table.
The practice works with your body's innate wisdom and natural rhythms.
Suitable alongside psychotherapy, physiotherapy, or other care.
Choosing a practitioner for somatic work is about finding a guide you can trust. Shaziya provides a safe, compassionate space for your wellness journey, grounded in professionalism and deep care.

We close with a few minutes of quiet integration, allowing the shifts to settle before you transition back to your day feeling grounded.
Spinal Energetics is a somatic modality that can be a valuable support for those navigating the complexities of modern life. It may help with:
Experiences vary widely. Some feel gentle energetic pulses, warmth, or tingling. Others notice subtle muscular unwinding or deep relaxation. It’s also common to feel very little, as the work can be deeply internal. Your body takes exactly what it needs.
Unlike massage, which manually manipulates muscle tissue, or chiropractic, which focuses on structural alignment, Spinal Energetics works with the body's energetic field and nervous system. The touch is much lighter, and the goal is to help the body's own intelligence make the changes it needs from within.
This is unique to each person. Some find significant benefit from a short series of 3-5 sessions, while others choose to incorporate it as a regular part of their wellness routine. We can discuss your goals in a free consultation.
It's best to have a gentle transition back into your day. Drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous activity immediately after, and give yourself some quiet time if possible to allow the session to integrate.
Spinal Energetics is very gentle and safe for most people. However, if you are pregnant, have a serious medical condition, or have had recent surgery, it is essential to consult with your primary healthcare professional before beginning any new wellness practice.
As a complementary wellness modality, Spinal Energetics is not typically covered by insurance plans. However, receipts can be provided for your records. Please check with your benefits provider for details on your specific coverage.
