Spinal Flow: Healing Through the Spine, the Nervous System, and the Power of Flow
When most people think of healing, they imagine talk therapy, meditation, or maybe a massage. But few realize that the spine—the very structure that holds us upright—is also the gateway to deep healing, nervous system regulation, and lasting transformation.
That’s where Spinal Flow comes in.
What is Spinal Flow?
Spinal Flow is a gentle, hands-on technique that works directly with the nervous system to release stress, dissolve blockages, and bring the body back into alignment. Rather than forcing the body, this approach invites it to return to its natural state of balance—activating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (the body’s “lifeline”) and reconnecting brain, spine, and body.
Clients often describe it as a homecoming: feeling lighter, breathing deeper, and standing taller—sometimes after just one session.
Meet the Founder: Dr. Carli Axford
Spinal Flow was founded by Dr. Carli Axford, an Australian chiropractor and healer who spent over 20 years studying the spine, nervous system, and trauma release. After working with thousands of clients, Dr. Carli noticed a common thread: stress, trauma, and unresolved emotions were stored in the body and often expressed through pain, tension, and dis-ease.
Her mission became clear—to create a method that addresses the root cause of disconnection in the body without force, pain, or the need to relive traumatic memories. The result was Spinal Flow: a modality that blends science, intuition, and deep respect for the body’s innate wisdom.
How Spinal Flow Helps
The technique works by gently touching access points along the spine that signal the nervous system to release stored stress. When the body feels safe enough, it begins to unwind layers of physical, emotional, and chemical blockages that may have been there for years.
Spinal Flow can help with:
Chronic back or neck pain
Headaches and migraines
Postural issues and stiffness
Anxiety, stress, or burnout
Emotional blocks from unresolved trauma
Sleep and digestive issues
A general sense of feeling “stuck”
Real Stories, Real Transformation
🦋 Sarah’s Story: After years of chronic back pain that no doctor could fully explain, Sarah tried Spinal Flow. Within weeks, her posture improved, her pain eased, and she described feeling “like I finally got my life back.”
🦋 James’ Story: A high-achieving entrepreneur, James had lived in constant stress and overwhelm. Spinal Flow gave him his first real experience of nervous system regulation—helping him feel calmer, clearer, and more focused in both business and life.
🦋 Anna’s Story: After experiencing a traumatic loss, Anna found herself shut down emotionally and physically. Through Spinal Flow, she released years of stored grief, slowly reconnecting with her body and rediscovering joy.
These stories are just a glimpse of what happens when the nervous system is given the safety and support it needs to heal.
Why I Offer Spinal Flow
As someone deeply devoted to somatic healing, I was drawn to Spinal Flow because it aligns with my philosophy: healing doesn’t have to be forceful, painful, or re-traumatizing. Instead, it can be gentle, safe, and deeply transformative.
In my own practice, I witness clients walk out of sessions standing taller, breathing more freely, and reconnecting with parts of themselves they thought were lost. It’s a reminder that when the spine flows, life flows.
