WHAT IS SPINAL FLOW?
Where your spine,
fascia and nervous
system converge
Spinal Flow Technique is a healing modality developed by Dr Carli Axford that works with the 33 access points along the spine — where the fascial matrix and nervous system share their deepest connection.
Using light, precise touch at these points, the technique invites your body's own innate intelligence to begin releasing blockages — the stored stress, trauma and tension that have built up over years of high performance and chronic overriding.
The result isn't just physical relief. Clients report profound shifts in emotional regulation, sleep quality, mental clarity and their relationship with their own body.
33 Access points along the spine
These are where the dura mater — the fascial sheath surrounding your spinal cord — attaches. Light touch here communicates directly with your central nervous system.
Works with the fascial matrix
Fascia connects everything. When we release tension in the spinal fascia, that release ripples through the entire connective tissue web of the body.
Down-regulates the stress response
By working with the nervous system directly, sessions shift your body out of sympathetic dominance — the fight-or-flight state most high-achievers live in chronically.
Results compound over time
Each session builds on the last. The body progressively releases deeper layers. Most clients feel notable shifts by session 3 — with profound change over a series.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What happens in
a session
Intake & Intention
We begin with a conversation about what's present for you — in your body, your nervous system, your life. Your first session includes a full intake so I can understand your history and what you're carrying.
Fully clothed on table
You lie face down on a massage table, fully clothed. There is no manipulation, no cracking, no force. Just precise, light touch at the access points along your spine.
Your body leads the way
Many clients experience spontaneous movement, deep breath, warmth or emotional release as blocked energy begins to move. You are always safe. Your body only does what it is ready for.
Integration & Close
We close with time to integrate. I'll share observations from the session and, where relevant, suggest practices to support what your nervous system is processing between sessions.
WHAT CLIENTS NOTICE
The shifts people
describe after
spinal flow
Results vary — every nervous system is unique. But these are what clients most commonly report, often beginning from the very first session.
-
A quality of rest and sleep they haven't felt in years
-
Chronic tension in the jaw, neck and shoulders finally releasing
-
Feeling more present — less reactive, more spacious
-
Emotional releases that feel like years of backlog clearing
-
A sense of being "back in their body" — at home in themselves
-
Reduced anxiety and a nervous system that feels quieter
YOUR SESSION JOURNEY
How a series of sessions unfolds
1
First session - Awakening
Your nervous system begins to register that change is safe. Many feel a deep drop into rest they haven't experienced before.
2-3
Early sessions - Releasing
The body begins to trust the process. Deeper layers of tension start to move. Sleep and reactivity often shift noticeably here.
4-6
Mid-series - Unwinding
The nervous system is repatterning. Clients often notice significant life changes — in how they respond, relate and inhabit their days.
7+
Ongoing - Integrating
The work deepens. Many clients continue with monthly maintenance sessions — not because they have to, but because they never want to go back.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Heard from the table
"I didn't expect to cry. I didn't expect to feel so much. I came in exhausted and left feeling like I'd set something down I'd been carrying for years."
Lara, mum
"The science behind it is real — I researched everything before booking. What I wasn't prepared for was how profound the experience itself would be. Simone holds incredible space."
Sheena, science teacher
"After three sessions with Simone, the tension I'd carried in my shoulders for ten years had just... gone."
Jeff, construction worker
