Spinal Energetics
Integrating physical, emotional and energetic healing by working with sound, spinal contacts, the nervous system and the body's energetic field.
Helping you to shift, unwind and release.
What is Spinal Energetics?
Spinal Energetics (SE) is a somatic and energetic healing modality that supports deep release and integration of stored tension, stress and emotional patterning of the body.
Through light touch (or sometimes no touch at all), your body is invited into its own process of healing. Organic movements, breath, and sound may begin to emerge as your system starts to unwind long-held tension, stress, and emotion. These are not directed or imposed, but arise from within; guided by your body’s own innate intelligence.
Unlike conventional therapies that rely heavily on the mind, SE works with the whole system: body, mind, heart, and energy. It’s particularly supportive for things that may feel difficult to name: experiences stored beneath conscious awareness, or emotional patterns that the nervous system still holds on to.

The movements and sounds that arise are natural, even primordial.
They emerge not from effort, but from a remembrance. Your own energy, intuition and instinct.
What happens in a Spinal Energetics session?
The body speaks in sensation, energy, movement, breath, posture, tension and sound: a language older than words.
In Spinal Energetics, the movement that emerges isn't something I create, nor is it something my client is consciously performing, but a remembrance. This arises when the body feels safe enough to let go - guided by instinct, energy, and something deeper within.
My role is to listen, to support, to offer the right cues and presence so that the energy already within them can move toward the places asking to be seen.
Together, we’re not forcing anything. We’re simply creating the conditions for what’s held to surface and to soften.
Why do some peoples' bodies move like that?
Your body is innately intelligent. It breathes without being told. It heals wounds, digests food, and lets you know when you’re tired, hungry, or need to rest. Even the urge to cry, to yawn, to shake after stress. They're all signals. Responses. Proof that your body is always in dialogue with itself.
This same intelligence also knows how to release what’s been stored, tension, stress, emotion. when it’s given the right conditions to feel safe.
In Spinal Energetics, we don’t force or perform. We create an environment that speaks the body’s language, through presence, touch, awareness, and attunement.
From that place, your body begins to move in its own way through breath, sound, stillness, or subtle shifts. We’re not telling it what to do. We’re simply inviting it to remember what it already knows.

Connection over catharsis, stillness speaks too
Your body will move in the way your body needs to.
Sometimes that looks like big, expressive movement. Other times, it’s a quiet stillness. Both are valid. Both are healing.
In this work, I’m not chasing movement, I’m tuning into connection. I’m looking for how your system responds, how tension begins to shift, and how deeply you’re able to stay with yourself.
Your nervous system speaks differently depending on what it’s holding, and what it’s ready to meet. So each session may look or feel different. Some days your body might move a lot, some days not at all. That doesn’t mean nothing’s happening.
In fact, some of the most profound shifts I’ve witnessed have happened in a body that hardly moved—because the release was happening deep below the surface, in the quiet.
This work doesn’t ask you to perform. It asks you to listen. And from there, the body knows what to do.
Spinal Energetics, Created by Dr. Sarah Jane Perri
What I admire most about Dr. Sarah Jane is not just her depth of knowledge or the range of modalities she draws from. it’s her humanness. She brings integrity, humility, and presence into everything she teaches. She’s walked her own path, and that lived experience shows. Her work speaks across backgrounds; cultural, spiritual, clinical, and personal and makes space for the full spectrum of human experience.
Spinal Energetics is a synthesis of many traditions and techniques, woven together into a practice that honours both the energetic and the embodied. It draws from a diverse range of influences, including Craniosacral Therapy, Network Spinal, Reiki, Alpha Alignment, Inner Dance, Shamanic practices, Pranayama, and Trauma Release work.
Underlying the technique is a respect for ancient and modern philosophies alike — drawing from Chinese Medicine, Buddhist, Hindu, Yogic, and Meditative traditions, all held through the lens of nervous system awareness and relational presence.

How can I begin to describe my time with Poveda... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Bali would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Poveda, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
