Tuning Into the Body’s Intelligence: Spinal Energetics with Dr. Sarah Jane
You may have seen the videos: bodies twitching, jolting, or writhing on treatment tables - like invisible strings are being pulled from above or a wild beast is being released from within. It looks intense, otherworldly, maybe even unbelievable. But it’s anything but. This is Spinal Energetics created by Melbourne’s very own Dr. Sarah Jane.
In the ever-evolving landscape of holistic wellness, Dr. Sarah Jane stands out as a beacon of innovation and compassion. As the founder of Spinal Energetics™, she has developed a transformative modality that harmoniously blends Eastern and Western healing philosophies to address both physical and emotional well-being.
At the recent KAILO x Goop Summit held at The Star Brisbane, attendees were granted a rare opportunity to witness Dr. Sarah Jane's work firsthand. During a live demonstration, she invited a single volunteer onto the stage what unfolded was raw, powerful and deeply human. There were no theatrics - just a moment of profound surrender. As Dr. Sarah Jane lightly engaged with the volunteer’s energetic field, the woman’s body responded instinctively, releasing years of tension and emotion. The shifts were visible, visceral and felt deeply by every soul in the room. It was intimate, vulnerable and undeniably real.
What Is Spinal Energetics?
Spinal Energetics is a healing modality that focuses on the spine and nervous system, where stress and trauma are often stored. Developed by Dr. Sarah Jane, it combines principles from chiropractic care, energy work, somatics and ancient philosophies to support the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Rather than "fixing" someone, practitioners work with the body, responding to its cues using light or non-physical touch, allowing organic movement and sound to emerge from within. This may look like shaking, stretching, even laughter or tears. It’s the nervous system’s way of letting go.
What Happens During a Session?
Sessions often begin with a conversation to explore the client's emotional or physical concerns. From there, the client lies down as the practitioner tunes into their spine, nervous system, and energetic field.
Using gentle gestures, breath, and intuitive energy work, the body begins to move on its own - sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. These movements aren’t forced they're the body expressing what's been held in the nervous system for too long.
People describe feeling lighter, more open and deeply grounded after treatment. The effects often ripple well beyond the session itself.
Who Is Dr. Sarah Jane?
Dr. Sarah Jane is a Melbourne-based chiropractor, holistic counsellor and intuitive healer with a background in psychology and philosophy. Her mission? To remind people that their bodies hold ancient intelligence and that healing doesn’t have to be hard, loud or painful.
She’s the founder of Spinal Energetics and runs two clinics in Richmond and Armadale, where she works with clients from all walks of life - including those flying in from across the globe.
Her approach is gentle but powerful, modern but deeply rooted in age-old wisdom. And as witnessed at the KAILO x Goop Summit, it’s not just the person on the table who transforms everyone in the room feels it.
A New Way Forward
The beauty of Spinal Energetics is that it doesn’t try to override the body. It simply creates space for it to speak and finally, to be heard.
And sometimes, that sounds like a roar. Sometimes, it moves like a wave. But always, it leads back to the truth: that we are our own healers. We just need someone to hold the mirror and the moment long enough to remember.
