Spinal Flow with Dennise

The body has always been speaking.

Healing begins the moment we are still enough to listen.✨

You’re not lazy.
You’re not unmotivated.
You’re not failing at life.
You might just be dysregulated.

When your nervous system has been in stress mode for too long, simple things feel hard.

Getting out of bed.
Making decisions.
Exercising.
Even replying to messages.
It’s not a character flaw.
It’s biology.
Your body has been in survival mode — and survival mode is exhausting.

Spinal Flow gently supports the nervous system to shift out of fight-or-flight and back into safety.

And when the body feels safe… energy returns. 💖

If this feels like you, comment “TIRED” below 💛

You are not alone.

Heres an awesome podcast with Dr Carli Axford - the founder of the Spinal Flow technique and who I studied under. 🤩

Such a great listen! Perfect for those who want to know all about the modality - what it helps with - who it is for - how it was created and more.

She's such an inspiration and Im so grateful to be able to offer sessions in her technique. I love what I do and love the changes I see in my clients when held stress releases 👏👏

Heres the link to the podcast:

What actually happens in a Spinal Flow session?” 🤔

No cracking.
No forcing.
No twisting.

You lie fully clothed on the table while I use gentle contacts along specific points of the spine.

These access points help the brain reconnect with areas where stress has been stored.

Your body then does the work.
You may feel:

✨ Waves or tingling
✨ Muscle unwinding
✨ Deep relaxation
✨ Emotional release
✨ Or simply calm

Every body responds differently — and that’s the beauty of it.

It’s not about “fixing” you.
It’s about allowing your nervous system to reorganise.

If you’ve been curious but unsure, you’re welcome to message me with questions 💛

3 signs your nervous system might be overloaded 👇

1️⃣ You wake up tired even after a full night’s sleep
2️⃣ Your shoulders live somewhere near your ears
3️⃣ You feel overwhelmed by small things

Sound familiar?

When we’re in constant stress mode, the body shifts into survival.

Healing slows down.
Energy drops.
Pain increases.

And most people think they just need more coffee or a holiday 😅

But what your body may really need… is regulation.

Spinal Flow gently supports your nervous system to move out of stress and back into safety.

On a scale of 1–10, how stressed has your week been? Tell me below 👇

What if your pain isn’t the problem…

What if it’s a message? 🤔

So many people come to me feeling frustrated because of headaches or their back, neck or shoulders keep flaring up.

But pain is rarely the root cause.

Pain is your nervous system saying:

“I’m overwhelmed.”
“I’m compensating.”
“I’ve been holding stress for too long.”

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s actually incredibly intelligent.

💞Spinal Flow works by gently supporting the nervous system to release stored stress patterns — so the body can do what it’s designed to do… heal.

If your symptoms keep returning, it might be time to look deeper.

✨ Comment “RESET” if this resonates.

✨ Or send me a message if you’re curious about how this could help you.

Is it normal to feel tired or exhausted after a Spinal Flow session?

This is such a beautiful and common question I get asked 💛

Yes — it can be completely normal to feel tired after a Spinal Flow session… and even the next day.
Here’s why 👇

Spinal Flow works directly with your nervous system. When your body shifts out of “fight or flight” mode and into “rest, repair and regulate,” it can finally exhale.
And when the body finally feels safe enough to relax…
It often chooses rest.

Sometimes that looks like:
• Feeling sleepy
• Wanting an early night
• Feeling heavy or slow
• Emotional release
• Deep calm

Your body may be using that time to:
✨ Integrate changes
✨ Release stored stress
✨ Repair and rebalance
✨ Redirect energy toward healing

Think of it like this…
If you’ve been running on adrenaline for months (or years), and suddenly your nervous system switches into healing mode, your body might say, “Oh wow… we can finally rest now.”
That tiredness isn’t something going wrong.
It can be a sign your system is recalibrating.

Hydrate well 💧
Rest if your body asks for it
Go gently the next day
And always reach out if you have questions — I love supporting you through the process.

Healing isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it looks like a nap. 💛

There’s something deeply healing about the Marlborough Sounds at this time of year 🌊🌿

The colour of the water, the native bush, the early morning chorus of birds & cicadas the summer light, and that sense that everything is gently exhaling after the rush of the year before.

Spinal Flow sessions here feel extra special. 💖

Nature already knows how to regulate, restore, and rebalance — and when the nervous system is supported through Spinal Flow, the body can finally drop out of survival mode and into healing.

The beginning of the year is such a powerful time.
A time to reset, to let go of stored tension, old patterns, and the stress the body has been holding onto — sometimes for years.
When the spine is clear and the nervous system feels safe, the body remembers what to do 💫

Less force. More flow. More ease.

I'm so grateful to live and work in one of the most beautiful places in the world 🥰

Note: as the school holidays come to an end, sessions in Richmond/Nelson will be available again during week days with sessions in the sounds on weekends & school holidays 🌸

🎄✨ Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas and holiday season ✨🎄

I want to take a moment to say thank you to every one of you for allowing me to be part of your healing journey throughout 2025. It’s truly been an honour to support you, witness your progress, and hold space for your body to do what it does best — heal 💛

Spinal Flow sessions in Richmond/Nelson have now finished for the year, and I’ll be taking a short break to rest and reset. I’ll be back and ready to welcome you again in the new year 🌿

May this season bring you rest, connection, and ease in your body and nervous system.
Thank you for your trust and support — it means more than you know 🥰

With gratitude,
X x Dennise 💫
