What can I expect from a first session?

What should I wear?

Something comfortable and easy to move in so that you feel relaxed.

 

Will I ‘move’ during a session?

This can make is difficult to feel into the energetic impulses that spinal energetics sometimes activates. However, movement is not the goal of the session but rather increased feelings of connection and wellbeing.

 

What should I do after a session?

Drink lots of water, spend time in nature and listen to your body. You may feel light-headed or tired or even energised. Som people develop a temporary sore throat or headaches. Your body will be doing what it needs to process and heal. Making sure you get good sleep can help as simple mindfulness and gentle movement such as meditation or yoga.
