Spinal Energetics

What is Spinal Energetics?

Developed by Melbourne based chiropractor and counsellor Dr Sarah Jane Perri, Spinal Energetics brings together Eastern and Western approaches to work with the spine, nervous system and energetic field. Through gentle guidance, it invites the body’s own capacity for awareness, regulation, and change.

This form of somatic work uses light touch—or often no touch—as breath and movement naturally unfolds. Many clients describe feeling calmer, regulated, lighter with more clarity and/or more connected to themselves in general.

As a Level 2 practitioner (trained by Dr Sarah Jane) and a Trauma Informed therapist with a Diploma in Counselling, I am here to support you as you explore what feels right for your body and your journey.

What can Spinal Energetics support?

Nervous system regulation

Spinal Energetics offers a safe, supportive space for the body to slow down, unwind and release. As tension patterns shift, you may find it easier to move between states of stress and rest. Clients often describe feeling calmer, sleeping better or managing everyday stress with greater ease.

Physical wellbeing

Our bodies can carry the effects of what we’ve experienced. Spinal Energetics invites you to notice areas of tension and listen to what your body may be communicating. Through gentle guidance, we make space for those patterns to shift and for you to feel more at ease in your body.

Emotional balance

Stress and emotions can sometimes show up as physical tension or discomfort. By bringing awareness to these patterns, Spinal Energetics may support emotional clarity, resilience and a greater sense of balance. Each person’s experience is different, and there’s no set outcome.

What to expect?

The session unfolds at your pace. With gentle guidance, your breath may shift as your body responds. Some people feel a tingling or warmth within the body. Some people instinctively move as their body processes and releases tension. You remain an active part of the process throughout.

For optimal results

Spinal Energetics is often explored over more than one single session, and I usually advise that a minimum of 3 sessions at approximately 1-2 weeks between each treatment as a good guide. Some people notice a significant shift in their first session; for others, changes emerge gradually as they reflect and integrate the experience. There’s no set timeline, each person responds differently dependent on what they are working on in their life.

(Please note that Spinal Energetics is a stand-alone visit to my massage therapy treatments and if you are wishing to book both, I would recommend booking them on separate days unless you have had multiple Spinal Energetics sessions)
