The Wisdom Within - Healing with Spinal Flow, Menai (2026)

31/01/2026

I had 2 male clients on Thursday... one was running late, the other was running early! So they were happy to be treated at the same time.

1 x detox foot soak + spinal flow & red light therapy (feet)
1 x spinal flow + red light therapy (shoulder)

I'm loving the fact that more men are seeking support for a more regulated nervous system... we are living through challenging times. Getting out of the fight/flight response (sympathetic) & into rest/digest/heal (parasympathetic) is of the uptmost importance.

Detox Foot Soak
(DIY at home or book in with me)

30 minute soak & dry brush feet upwards afterwards, towards your heart - you'll notice less brain fog, better sleep & clearer skin...

1 cup Epsom Salts
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
Lavender
Rosemary
Ginger
Water as hot as you can tolerate - heat opens up the pores & gets lymph moving quickly - it's a direct highway to the lymphatic system - the garbage truck that hauls the stuff out!

Transdermal detox through feet moves toxins out 3 times faster.

Epsom Salts - magnesium pulls out heavy metals & reduces inflammation while muscles relax.

Apple Cider Vinegar - balances skins pH, breaks down toxins stuck in tissue.

Rosemary, Lavender & Ginger Essential Oils - stimulate circulation, move stagnant lymph, like a biological broom.

Feet have 7000 nerve endings and some of the largest pores on your body, which means they're a direct highway to your lymphatic system.

Foot Soak - not just relaxation, but detoxification!

Day to day, we don’t often think about our posture..

Over time, this lack of awareness can quietly create tension, restriction and curvature in the spine.

Spinal Flow helps address this by working with the body’s natural intelligence.

By releasing areas of stored stress along the spine, Spinal Flow supports the nervous system, allowing the body to reconnect, rebalance and move more freely.

As tension patterns soften, the spine can begin to restore its natural curves and flow.

This helps improve posture, reduce strain and create a greater sense of ease in the body - without force or correction.

Rather than “fixing” posture, Spinal Flow allows the body to reorganize itself from the inside out.

With regular care, this can support long-term spinal health, mobility and overall wellbeing.
Your spine carries your nervous system - and your life.
Supporting its flow supports you.

Spinal Flow is a process - not a one-time event.

Each session builds on the last...

Layers of stress peel back gently as your nervous system learns a new pattern of regulation.

Frequent sessions help you move through layers faster, and create lasting change - until your body naturally holds its own flow between visits.

In the Spinal Flow Technique, we refer to the Thoracic Spine as the Centre Gateway.

Did you know that the thoracic spine has 12 vertebrae that sit between the neck and lumbar spine and gets its name from the Ancient Greek word thorax, which relates to the breastplate or chest.

The Centre Gateway is where our heart ❤️ and lungs 🫁 live and also can be the area where our deepest emotions from childhood, that weren't resolved, are stored as blockages.

Let's all move towards greater health and healing together and aim to become blockage-free!

Never rush your healing.
Your body knows....
Take care of the whole & it will take care of you 💜

Your digestion isn’t just about what you eat...

It’s about how safe your body feels.

When your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight, digestion becomes a low priority.

Survival comes first.

Blood flow is redirected away from the digestive organs, stomach acid and enzyme production change, gut motility slows or becomes erratic —and suddenly you’re dealing with bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, or ongoing gut discomfort.

This isn’t your body “failing.”
It’s your body protecting you.

Chronic stress keeps the body in a constant state of alert.

The gut is directly wired to the nervous system through the vagus nerve, meaning when the nervous system is overwhelmed, digestion feels it immediately.

In Spinal Flow, we don’t chase symptoms.
We look at why the body is stuck in survival mode.

When spinal tension patterns are gently released and the nervous system shifts out of fight or flight, the body can return to its natural state of rest, repair and digest.

True healing happens when the body feels safe again.
And digestion is often one of the first systems to respond when it does.

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s communicating.
And it’s always on your side.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀.

Sometimes it’s subtle, constant tension in your body, the way you start second-guessing yourself, the slow shrinking of your voice.

Your nervous system stays on alert because it doesn’t feel safe, even when you can’t explain why.

The wrong people doesn't always mean cruel people. Sometimes they’re emotionally unavailable, inconsistent, dismissive, or so wrapped in their own chaos that your needs never quite fit.

Over time, you adapt. You soften your truth. You over-explain. You tolerate things that once felt wrong just to keep the peace.

And that’s where the damage happens...

You begin to mistake survival for love. You call anxiety “chemistry.” You confuse familiarity with belonging.

Your body carries the cost long before your mind catches up - fatigue, stress, resentment, self-doubt.

Being too close to the wrong people pulls you away from yourself. It blurs your intuition. It drains your energy. It makes healing harder and growth feel heavy.

You start living in reaction instead of intention, managing emotions that were never yours to hold.

Distance isn’t cruelty. It’s self-respect... 💜

19/01/2026

Our body does not need force to soften, but it does need to feel safe...

When it receives a steady space, a gentle touch and a listening presence, safety can be felt.

When the nervous system senses support, the spine can begin to release the holding it created to protect you, and the system responds in its own time, often without a word needing to be spoken.

This is the quiet work of Spinal Flow.

Supporting the body so it can do what it already knows... it knows how to heal.

REMINDER:

The One Thing Missing After Most Healing Sessions:

Integration

Most healing sessions can create a real shift - physically, emotionally, and neurologically.

But what determines whether the change sticks isn’t always the session itself.

It’s integration...

Integration is the window of time after a session where the nervous system is updating, reorganising, and learning the new “baseline.”

This is when the body decides:
Do we stay in this new state… or snap back to the old one?

What integration actually means (in the body)

After hands-on bodywork, nervous system work, breathwork, or energy-based modalities, the brain and body continue processing.

Your system may be:
• recalibrating posture and muscle tone
• re-mapping movement patterns
• improving interoception (how you sense your internal state)
• shifting out of long-term protective tension responses

This isn’t “woo.”
It’s how nervous systems learn: through repetition, safety, and time.

Why the body can “undo” great work

Even after a powerful session, your body will return to the patterns it knows best if the environment stays the same.

That includes:
• returning to the same stress load
• the same sitting posture or movement habits
• the same sleep debt
• the same breath patterns
• the same emotional suppression and over-functioning

Healing isn’t fragile.
But old patterns are efficient — the brain will reuse them if it thinks they’re still needed for survival.

Signs your body is integrating (not “getting worse”)

Integration can look like:
• deep fatigue or heavy sleep
• emotional release or vivid dreams
• soreness or awareness in new areas
• changes in digestion
• thirst, temperature shifts, or increased urination
• sudden clarity, calm, or a sense of “reset”

These can be normal signs of nervous system processing — especially after long-held tension begins to unwind.

The integration rule that changes everything

A session opens the door.
Integration is what teaches your body to live there.

That’s why your post-session choices matter more than people realise.

Simple integration support (the basics that work)

For 24–72 hours after a session:
• hydrate more than usual
• walk daily (gentle, not punishing)
• avoid heavy training if your system feels “soft”
• prioritise sleep
• reduce screen time and overstimulation
• notice your posture instead of forcing it

Integration isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about giving your nervous system a chance to stabilise.

The real goal of healing work

The goal isn’t a one-time release.

It’s helping the body build a new default:
• less guarding
• better breath
• clearer signals
• more adaptability

That’s integration.

And it’s the part most people skip.

The Sphenoid
The “Butterfly Bone” That Secretly Runs the Show

Okay… if the skull had a CEO, it would probably be the sphenoid bone.

It sits deep in the middle/base of your head, shaped kind of like a butterfly (or honestly… a tiny spaceship), and it connects to so many important structures that anatomists call it the “keystone” of the skull.

So if the skull is an archway…
the sphenoid is the central piece that helps keep the whole thing stable.

And the wild part?
Most people have never even heard of it.

Fun Facts That Make the Sphenoid Even Cooler

1. It holds the “throne” for your pituitary gland

Right inside the sphenoid is a bony cradle called the sella turcica, which houses the pituitary gland (your body’s major hormone control center).

So yes… this one bone is literally protecting one of the most powerful internal control panels you’ve got.

2. It contains the sphenoid sinuses (aka: deep head pressure territory)

The sphenoid contains the sphenoidal sinuses — deep air spaces behind the nose.

This is why pressure in this area can feel like deep head pressure, behind the eyes, or a “headache that won’t quit.”

3. Here’s the bit I only just learned (and it made everything click)

Even though the sphenoid sits deep in the skull, it isn’t a tiny bone — it’s shaped like a butterfly and has “wings” that extend outward.

Those parts are called the:
• Greater wings
• Lesser wings

…and they contribute to the side regions of the skull near the temple/eye area.

So when we say sphenoid is “by the eye/ear”… it’s not that the whole sphenoid is sitting on the surface — it’s that parts of it reach outward there.

And this is the key line:

“The sphenoid sits deep in the skull, but parts of it extend out toward the temple/eye region — so we contact externally, and the nervous system responds through the cranial system as a whole.”

That was a lightbulb moment for me.

So… What Does This Have To Do With Spinal Flow?

In Spinal Flow, we work with specific access points (including cranial access points) to support the nervous system in shifting out of protection and into regulation.

Not by forcing anything — but by giving the body an opportunity to soften and re-organize from the inside.

That’s why some people notice changes like:
• softer jaw and face
• swallowing, blinking, sighing
• breath deepening
• shoulders dropping
• a calmer, clearer presence
• Sinuses can shift during a session — some people get sniffly, their nose clears, or drainage starts (sometimes more once they sit up).

Because when the nervous system stops bracing… the whole system starts to settle.

The one-liner that makes this land for my clients:

The sphenoid is like the nervous system’s central “switchboard room” inside the skull.

When the switchboard is overloaded… everything feels loud.
When it settles… the whole system gets quieter.

Never knew you had one… or that it was the mastermind lol

Most people think bone health is about milk or calcium tablets, but one of the most overlooked supports for bones and joints is already sitting in your kitchen!

Sesame seeds...

They’re small, easy to ignore, and quietly powerful.

Why sesame seeds matter more than they look?

Sesame seeds carry a rare mineral trio that works together, not alone:

• Calcium builds the hard structure of bones
• Magnesium helps calcium get absorbed and used properly
• Zinc supports cartilage, joint repair and collagen enzymes.

When these minerals are out of balance, bones weaken faster, joints feel stiff, and recovery slows.

That’s why bone issues often show up as knee pain, back stiffness, or cracking joints long before fractures happen.

The collagen connection people miss...

Bones and joints aren’t just calcium blocks.
They’re living tissue held together by collagen.

Sesame seeds support collagen related processes through zinc and plant compounds called lignans, which help reduce oxidative stress. Less oxidative stress means slower wear and tear on bones and joints over time.

This is especially important after 40 and during menopause, when bone mineral loss accelerates.

What research suggests...

Studies have linked regular sesame seed intake with better bone mineralization, particularly in post menopausal women. Not because of mega doses, but because nutrients arrive together in a form the body recognizes.

Whole food beats isolated pills here.

How real people actually use them...

No fancy routine required:
• Sprinkle on salads or vegetables
• Add to yogurt or oatmeal
• Use tahini in sauces or spreads
• Mix into baked foods or flatbreads

A small daily amount is enough.

Consistency matters more than quantity.

The quiet truth...

Bone loss doesn’t announce itself loudly.
It starts silently, years before pain shows up.

Sometimes protection doesn’t come from supplements or extreme diets.
It comes from simple foods used consistently...

Sesame seeds don’t scream for attention.
They just do the work in the background.

Save this for later Your joints will thank you... 💜
