Spinal Flow Healing
A holistic healing modality focusing on balancing the body’s energy flow
The Spinal Flow Technique focuses on enhancing your spinal health, nervous system function, and overall well-being.
This technique uses gentle contact with 33 key points along your spine and cranium, and occiput. Spinal flow promotes spinal alignment, facilitating energy flow and reducing tension. This technique offers numerous benefits.
Ideal for: Releasing stress, reconnecting with your body, improving breath, and energy flow.

Before geting started, we will complete a thorough health history and physical examination.
This includes a number of specific tests including a physical assessment of your posture (to identify where stress is stored in your body) and a functional assessment of your nerve system (to identify how well your body is able to deal with stress).
With this information, we will be able to make a personalised care recommendation to help you reach your health and wellbeing goals.
Using gentle, precise touch on specific access points along your spine, Leonie will help encourage your nervous system to soften, unwind, and reconnect.
As your body relaxes, you may feel gentle waves of release, improved breath flow, or a deep sense of calm.

Move from survival mode to thriving
Release stresses in your body on a chemical, emotional, & physical level

I have known Peter for years, and his spiritual sessions are of great value!
His spoken words and connections to your soul is great.
I acknowledge his services 100%. I felt relaxed and, after the session, even more connected.
Reach out to Peter and enjoy your journey.
Michael
I felt so safe in such a vulnerable healing journey. Would recommend!
When I first met Leonie.. I just knew I needed to go see her. The tremor release therapy was profound for me! From a series of traumatic events through my life.. some deep suppressed emotions came up and I released in that session! Blown away is an under statement! So much has happened since that session. I feel so empowered and clear! Leonie is an amazing facilitator!
Anna
Leonie is a true healer.
During my 1st TRE session, she helped me to release years of trauma. She provides a safe, caring & professional environment.
She provides tools & insights to use in everyday life. I feel so blessed for this experience.
