What is Spinal Energetics?
Spinal Energetics is a bodywork modality that combines gentle touch with concepts drawn from Eastern and Western approaches to wellbeing. It is intended to encourage relaxation, body awareness, and a greater sense of connection with the body.
Sessions involve gentle touch, or in some cases no direct touch, with the intention of encouraging relaxation and helping the body respond to patterns of physical and emotional tension.
Many people describe experiencing spontaneous movement, deep relaxation, or a greater sense of ease during or after a session.
Individual experiences vary.
Why choose Spinal Energetics?
Some people choose Spinal Energetics sessions because they feel it helps them maintain a greater sense of balance and wellbeing. My role is to support relaxation and provide a space that encourages a settled and regulated experience. Some clients describe feeling calmer, more resilient, and experiencing a greater sense of ease in everyday life.
The Nervous System as a Thermometer - an analogy.
Imagine your nervous system as a thermometer.
This is a simple analogy that many people find helpful for understanding how stress can build up over time.
As a baby, even everyday experiences such as hunger or a wet nappy can trigger a stress response. When you're comforted through feeding, cuddles, or being soothed, your body settles and you regain a sense of safety.
As we move through life, we experience many different forms of physical, emotional, and environmental stress.
Most of the time, we adapt and recover. We also develop our own ways of coping and finding balance.
Sometimes, however, it can feel as though our internal "stress thermometer" is sitting higher than we'd like.
We may notice it becomes harder to relax, that we carry persistent physical tension, or that we feel overwhelmed more easily. For some people, these patterns can contribute to a sense of ongoing stress or nervous system dysregulation.
Spinal Energetics is a gentle bodywork approach designed to encourage relaxation and greater awareness of the body.
Through light touch—or sometimes no direct touch at all—the intention is to create a supportive environment where the body can unwind in its own way.
Many people describe feeling calmer, more connected, or experiencing a greater sense of ease after a session, although every person's experience is unique.
Spinal Nerves & Spinal Energetics – Finding Balance
Your spinal nerves play an important role in communication between your brain and body, carrying signals involved in movement, sensation, and many automatic functions.
Our bodies are constantly adapting to physical, emotional, and environmental experiences. Stress, injury, and everyday demands can influence how we feel in our bodies, sometimes contributing to sensations of tension, discomfort, or feeling out of balance.
Spinal Energetics uses gentle touch—or sometimes no direct touch—to encourage relaxation, body awareness, and a deeper connection with yourself.
People often describe sessions as helping them feel:
More relaxed and at ease in their body
More connected and present
Supported in managing everyday stress
More aware of their physical and emotional state
Spinal Energetics brings together physical awareness and energetic concepts to support wellbeing, relaxation, and a greater sense of alignment with yourself.

"After only two sessions of Spinal Energetics with Rachel, I felt more positive about life. I have seen her weekly for a couple of months now, and I’m less depressed, and feel more able to do things I haven't done in years. This work has helped me to become a happier version of myself.
She has also helped me with chronic pain, including arthritic pain in my hands and knees. It was hard for me to believe it, but what Rachel does really works."
