Services
**Initial Consultation**
Hello and Welcome to Your Initial Consultation!
During this session, we’ll explore your needs and discuss what you’d like to achieve through the treatments I offer. My goal is to help you feel at ease and address any concerns you may have.
Once we’ve had a chance to talk, I’ll be better equipped to understand what’s going on with your body. Every treatment is unique and completely tailored to your individual needs.
We’ll start by conducting a posture assessment, running through a few checks, and identifying any blockages or areas of concern. From there, I’ll outline the best approach for your care and recommend a schedule tailored specifically to you.
There’s no pressure to make any decisions during the session. You’re welcome to take the information we discuss, reflect on it, and decide how you’d like to proceed in your own time.
I’m looking forward to supporting you on your journey to better health and wellbeing.
“Each person has their own unique experience. All services are designed with one goal in mind: To feel free and live with total ease.”
Spinal Flow®
The Spinal Flow Technique is a profound alternative healing experience in which aid is given to the body in triggering its own natural innate intelligence, allowing it to learn, heal, digest, and grow.
Founded by Dr Cali Axford, an Austrailian Chiropractor with a passion for change.
As Dr Carli Axford discovered the wisdom the body contains, she began developing what would become the 7 gateways of the spine and her signature 33 access points to allow more people to heal.
Dr Carli’s quest for knowledge has seen her learn a raft of different healing modalities – including network spinal analysis, bio geometric integration, torque release technique, sacro occipital technique, applied kinesiology, neuro emotional technique and EFT – but she instinctively knew the 7 gateways of the spine offered the simplest tool for healing.
“In my experience, stress is the number one cause of pain and symptoms like depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, sleep problems and digestive issues,” she says.
The science of the human body has always enthralled me - the anatomy and biology of the skeletal system, the soft tissues and our amazing nervous system and spinal cord are incredible. When we acknowledge that the thoughts in our brain are felt throughout the body- particularly things like gut feelings, our heart being in our mouths or having a lump in our throats - then it philosophically holds true that how we feel connects to how our body functions. Every part of us connects. Our inside is connected to our outside.
We are connected to our own self, our family, our community, our environment, to the planet and so on. There is no separation. When we believe our bodies and feelings are somehow separate or disconnected, that’s when spinal blockages – and their close companions that I call pain, dis-ease and illness – begin to form.
When our body doesn't have the tools to release the emotional, physical or chemical stress the body experiences, then it’s my experience that spinal blockages happen. These blockages cause suffering and keep the nervous system in fight:flight mode, inhibiting the body’s natural ability to learn, heal, digest and grow.
“The 7 gateways of the spine tell us so much about how a person has lived and experienced life, but more importantly where they hold stress,” she says.
Spinal Flow Technique is designed to help the brain reconnect with the body and its experiences through the seven gateways of the spine and the 33 access points. The touch-led healing sessions of Spinal Flow Technique work with an individual’s state of consciousness and functional anatomy to support trust for the body-mind to reconnect and integrate the emotional, physical and chemical stress.
The seven gateways of the spine give us a framework to understand the body-mind and enable transformation from disconnection and stress into a state of peace and wellbeing.
Reiki Therapy
What is Reiki Therapy?
Reiki” (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy’, a term used to describe a natural system to help bring about an improved sense of wellbeing and a positive feeling of spiritual renewal.
This tradition was founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication. It is a tradition that is open to any belief system and benefits may include deep relaxation and the promotion of a calm peaceful sense of wellbeing.
The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is simple. The recipient remains clothed and comfortably lies on a couch or sits on a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively, on or near the body using their intuition and training as a guide. There is no massage or manipulation. Reiki can be used on the person as a whole, or on specific parts of the body. It is also possible to receive Reiki at a distance.
Reiki is taught by Reiki Master/Teachers, who have trained in the tradition passed on, in person, from Master to student. Students go through a process of initiation/attunement to the Reiki energy. They are then able to treat themselves and others, not only from a personal and emotional perspective, but also as an aid to individual development and spiritual growth.
How Reiki is Used
During a Reiki session, the client typically lies fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner uses a series of hand placements, either lightly touching or hovering just above the body. These placements correspond to energy centers, or chakras, helping to clear blockages, release tension, and promote a sense of calm. Reiki in Andover is gaining popularity as more people recognise the benefits of this therapy for addressing physical discomfort, emotional distress, and overall energy imbalances.
