Duration : 60 Minutes

What is Spinal Energetics?

Spinal Energetics is a gentle, body-led somatic therapy that supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and a deeper sense of safety within the body. The work blends Eastern and Western approaches and focuses on the spine as a gateway to the nervous system and energetic field.

Using light touch (and at times no touch), alongside breath and sound, Spinal Energetics works with the body’s natural intelligence rather than forcing change. As the body begins to feel safe, it may unwind naturally; releasing tension, held emotions, protective patterns, and past experiences stored within the nervous system and tissues.

The intention of this work is to restore balance and flow, supporting physiological regulation and a more settled, embodied experience of wellbeing.

Spinal Energetics with Zoey

Sessions with Zoey are calm, supportive, and trauma-aware. Zoey trained directly with Dr Sarah Jane, the founder of Spinal Energetics, and brings both clinical understanding and deep embodied presence to each session.

Her approach is gentle and precise, always guided by the body’s responses. Each session is shaped around what your nervous system needs in that moment, creating a safe environment for meaningful and sustainable change.

"Each session has been deeply calming and restorative, with subtle energetic shifts moving gently through my body. It feels as though I’m safely unraveling years of stored emotion, leaving me clearer, lighter, and more at ease.
A truly beautiful modality."
Karen P.

  • This work may support:

    • Nervous system regulation and stress reduction
    • Release of physical tension and long-held holding patterns
    • Processing and integration of stored emotional or traumatic experiences
    • Improved body awareness and connection
    • Increased emotional resilience and capacity
    • A greater sense of safety, grounding, and balance

  • Each session begins with gentle breathwork and somatic awareness to support grounding and connection with your body.

    The session typically starts at the feet and moves to light, intentional contact along the spine and other areas of the body. These points of contact are used to communicate safety to the nervous system and invite regulation.

    As your body responds, you may experience:
    • Gentle or spontaneous movement or stretching
    • Muscle tremors or waves of release
    • Emotional expression or sound
    • Deep stillness with an internal or energetic experience

    Every session is different. Some experiences are more physical, others more internal; all responses are normal and welcomed.

  • Spinal Energetics is a consent-led and collaborative process. We move at a pace guided by your nervous system, not by force or expectation.

    There is no pushing or pressure to release. Instead, the body is supported to soften and respond when it feels ready, allowing change to happen in a regulated and sustainable way.

  • The outcomes of Spinal Energetics are often subtle yet profound, supporting change in both the body’s physiological regulation and the client’s lived, embodied experience.

    Clients often report:

    • A calmer, more regulated nervous system
    • Reduced stress and overwhelm
    • Greater emotional clarity and ease
    • Release of long-held tension or protective patterns
    • Feeling safer and more at home in their body
    • A deeper sense of self connection

    These effects may continue to unfold in the days following a session as the nervous system integrates the work.

  • Spinal Energetics may be supportive if you:

    • Experience ongoing stress, anxiety, shutdown, or overwhelm
    • Feel stuck in patterns that don’t fully shift through talk-based approaches alone
    • Notice chronic tension or holding in your body
    • Feel disconnected from your body or find it difficult to fully relax
    • Have experienced trauma, medical stress, or prolonged emotional strain
    • Are open to a body-led, nervous-system-informed approach

    *Please also check the Spinal Energetics Contraindications section as there are some people who this treatment may not be suitable for.

    Spinal Energetics Contraindications

    You do not need to know what you are holding or what needs to change. The body leads the process, and we work with whatever presents in a safe and supported way.

  • While a single session can offer meaningful regulation and insight, Spinal Energetics is not a quick fix.

    For deeper and more sustainable change, a series of 3 or 6 sessions is recommended to support ongoing nervous system recalibration and integration.

    Please note: Spinal Energetics requires integration time. Clients are encouraged to review the Spinal Energetics Client Aftercare information in advance to fully support the body before and after sessions.

Nervous system awareness treatment in Brighton and Hove

What is a Nervous System Awareness Session?

A Nervous System Awareness session is a gentle, personalised session designed to help you understand how your nervous system is functioning in real time. It’s a space to notice your body, your breath, and your energy, and to explore patterns of tension, stress, or withdrawal.

This session is ideal as a standalone treatment, giving you clarity and insight into how your body responds to stress and relaxation, and offering practical awareness to use at home to support your nervous system.

It’s also an essential first step if you have booked an On.ah Method treatment, as it gives deep insight into your dominant nervous system patterns before beginning more structured treatments.

Nervous System Awareness with Zoey

Sessions with Zoey are relaxed, trauma-informed, and tailored to you.

They are created as a safe grounded space where you can slow down, feel at ease and begin to understand how your nervous system responds to daily life. Rather than analysing or fixing, the focus is on gentle awareness; helping you build a clearer more supportive relationship with your body.

This session is a nourishing first step if you are curious about your nervous system or are considering deeper work in the future.

  • A session can help you:

    • Understand how your body responds to stress, fatigue, or overwhelm.
    • Notice patterns of tension, stress, or withdrawal in your body and mind.
    • Gain insight into your dominant nervous system state and how it affects daily life.
    • Learn simple strategies to support self-regulation and balance at home.

  • • Get settled in with a warm drink and welcomed into a comfortable and safe environment.
    • Casual, guided conversation through a series of questions to understand how your nervous system functions most of the time.
    • Physical observation and gentle somatic exploration, noticing areas of tension, posture, and breath patterns.
    • Optional breathwork, tailored to either soothe, energise, or gently stimulate your nervous system.
    • Mapping and discussion of how your body responds, helping you understand patterns and areas to focus on.

    This session blends conversation, observation, and gentle somatic techniques to give you a clear picture of your current state.

  • After your session, you will:

    • Have a clear picture of your dominant nervous system state.
    • Notice where your body feels tense or tight, when you tend to feel stressed or on edge, and when you might feel flat, low-energy, or withdrawn.
    • Recognise how your body, energy, and mood are connected.
    • Gain insights for self-regulation and home practices
    • Be prepared for deeper work in the On.ah Method, if you choose.

    Clients often leave feeling seen, understood, and more connected to their body, with practical takeaways they can apply immediately.

  • This session is ideal if you:

    • Want to understand your nervous system and how it affects your body and mind.
    • Feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, fatigued, or withdrawn.
    • Would like insight before starting deeper treatments such as the On.ah Method.
