As the final day of the Spinal Flow Immersion arrived, it carried with it a gentle sense of completion, not an ending, but an integration. The focus and intention of today’s practice was simple yet powerful, “Trust & Let Go.”
To trust that you are here for a reason. That this table, this breath, this very moment of receiving healing, is part of something bigger. And to let go. Let go of the control, the tension, the holding. Let the magic move through. Let your body release what no longer belongs. Let your true self emerge.
Much like the metamorphosis of a butterfly, this journey hasn’t always been linear or comfortable. Transformation never is. The chrysalis stage, dark, silent, and seemingly still, holds the greatest change. Today felt like the wings unfolding.
As I lay on the table for my final session as a client, I could feel my body still reacting to the flow in a more gentle and deep way. With every deep breath, I felt the Spinal Flow move. Sometimes as a rolling wave. Sometimes as the subtlest shift. I didn’t try to interpret it. I simply allowed it to flow. I trusted that the healing would continue, not just in this moment, but in the hours, days, and weeks to come.
When it came time for me to step into the role of practitioner, I approached the session with reverence. I set the intention. I called in support. I dropped into my body and asked my intuition to lead.
Something I’ve learned throughout this immersion is that holding space isn’t just about technique, it’s about presence. Whether you’re giving or receiving, you must be in your body. You must trust the subtle guidance that speaks without words.
In this final session, I noticed my client’s cranium calling. Typically, Spinal Flow focuses on the coccyx or sacrum to activate and guide the flow upward. But here, I felt drawn to the cranial access points, utilising the Centre Gateway to increase the flow upward, and returning to the sacrum occasionally to stabilize the flow. And soon, I saw the thoracic spine begin to move with more ease and the wave became more visible. Something was softening and opening. Once again I was reminded that every body is different. And every individual body holds wisdom beyond our comprehension.
The rest of the day was spent in reflection, setting goals, defining intentions, and sharing our stories. We spoke aloud our visions and created accountability groups to help each other stay true to the path. It was inspiring to hear the “why” behind each person’s journey. So many had come here because of a loved one in pain so they could go home to heal and provide care. Others wanted to leave behind soul-numbing careers and bring healing into their communities.
And as I spoke my own intention aloud, I felt it land deeper than ever before:
I want to help people find themselves again. I want to help them feel safe, so they can create the life they deserve. I want to help clear trauma and blocks, not just in a session, but through the full journey. From building safety, to release, to integration. I want to help people connect with their own divine selves.
Because that is what I have had to do for myself. It has been a long road. One filled with nervous system work, self-awareness, and breaking generational patterns. But I did it. I’m still doing it. And I’m proud of this journey.
This path is also deeply personal. In my family, both sides carry a heavy history of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Now my own father lives with this condition and I can’t ignore the patterns.
Emerging studies show how chronic stress and unresolved trauma, especially in childhood, can reshape the brain, increasing susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases later in life. And this aligns with what I believe at my core, that emotional trauma, when unprocessed, becomes illness.
Of course, genetics and environmental toxins play a role too. But if we want to shift health outcomes in a lasting way, we must stop treating symptoms in isolation. Just like Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches, we must treat the whole person.
I know what I want to offer. And now, I hand it over to the universe. Because the same trust that brought me here, to this training, this calling, will guide me to the next step.
Leaving this immersion behind won’t be easy. We built a sacred container. We understood each other. We spoke the same language, even if our paths were different. Here, I was not too much or too “woo.” I was seen. Understood. Celebrated.
Around 100 people gathered here in Barcelona, all of us believing in the power of the body, the soul, and the unseen. All of us willing to open, to witness, to transform.
The universe is vaster than we’re told. And healing, true healing, is always possible.
