These first 14 modules are the foundation of the Spinal Flow Technique. You will learn to locate, assess and determine where the cause of your clients symptoms are coming from and will have the tools to help them, release spinal blockages and bring in the Spinal Wave into their body.
You will learn the touch, philosophy and science of the Spinal Flow Technique, a healing modality born of Dr Carli Axford’s hands-on healing methods that harness the body’s innate instinct to heal itself. Spinal Flow Technique is based on the premise that there is a Spinal Wave inside all of us but spinal nerve blockages caused by emotional, physical and chemical stress stop the wave flowing through the nervous system.
Spinal Flow Technique practitioners learn how to assess and diagnose blockages in the 7 gateways of the spine, to enable the Spinal Wave to flow freely from cranium to sacrum. Create your own Healer Declaration to stay true to your goals as a Spinal Flow Technique practitioner
You will learn Spinal Flow Technique’s key assessment tools, the 7 gateways of the spine. This anatomical roadmap explains how the human body stores blockages in the spine, with each gateway directly associated with the organs, tissues and cells supplied by the correlating nerves and nerve plexus. There are seven tests you will master so you can assess spinal nerve blockages in your clients’ bodies
You will become an expert in understanding posture and how to assess what’s going on in your client’s body. Posture is key to how the human body holds itself - is one leg longer than the other, is the tailbone tucked under or are the shoulders hunched over their heart? Discovering the postural imbalances and how they connect with the 7 gateways of the spine helps practitioners evaluate and interpret what’s happened in their clients’ lives. Learning the type of blockages that lead to typical postural imbalances helps you read what’s happening in the human body. There are different posture assessments for each of the 7 gateways of the spine to diagnose primary blockages and uncover what’s secondary while determining how many years the blockage has been held in the body.
Practitioners will use their hands to feel what’s going on in the body, so in this module you will learn the four types of practitioner touch used in Spinal Flow Technique. You will feel exactly what has been stored in your clients’ bodies, the type of stress held there and how long it has been there for as well as the touch to contact the body and create powerful healing. Every human body has a master controller - the spine, brain and nervous system - so practitioner touch will be your key tool to connect clients’ spinal blockages to the ease that already exists within the body. This module will teach you how to touch, feel and connect the human body to the Spinal Wave inside everyone.
You will learn how to feel for stress, blockages and trauma to take your healing to a new level in this module. Your hands and sense of touch are one of the most important practitioner tools for Spinal Flow Technique. Combining your hands-on healing with postural and assessment tools will help you diagnose the stress, blockages and trauma held within your clients’ bodies. With the nervous system connecting to every organ, muscle, tissue and cell in the body, you will learn to feel how stress and emotions store in the body as primary or secondary blockages. You’ll also start to understand the tone and flavour of blockages, and whether they are emotional, chemical or physical in nature.
Learn how to locate, diagnose and feel blockages held in the 33 vertebrae of the spine. All spinal blockages interfere with the nervous system’s connection to organs, nerves, muscles and tissues. In this module, you’ll discover how to touch, palpate and feel the blockages to release and free blockages. Learn how to feel sprain and strain in the body, while uncovering more about the anatomy and physiology of the spine and nervous system.
As you gain a deeper understanding of the spine and nervous system, you will discover the meninges, which make up the three membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord: the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater. In this module you will learn there are 33 access points where the dura mater meets the vertebrae, which practitioners contact to bring on healing through the form of the Spinal Wave. You will learn more about these special access points and how to release spinal blockages and expand the Spinal Wave.
You will learn there is a Spinal Wave inside all human bodies, waiting to flow the length of the spine from the head to the coccyx. In this module you will discover the three types of Spinal Wave - the breathing wave, moving wave and sensing wave - and how to use the 33 access points to bring the wave on. You’ll also discover more about the intricacies of the Spinal Wave and how to increase, expand and improve the wave to level up the healing and energy the client receives. Discover the different techniques and positions to ensure the Spinal Wave delivers more healing by flowing up and down the spine freely
The Spinal Wave is the key to understanding the power of spinal flow technique. In this hands-on session, you will learn the powerful and unique skill of creating the wave in your clients bodies. The Spinal Wave has three unique types - the breathing wave, sensing wave and moving wave. This hands-on training helps you practice how to develop these waves with your clients.
In this module you’ll discover the body’s complex emotional layers and where emotional stressors are stored in the 7 gateways of the spine, while understanding how to release them. Emotions are stored deeply in the spine and the blockages often begin in early childhood, when most people are too young - or simply don’t have the tools - to process them. Practitioners learn how to bring the clients’ awareness to the place where they store emotions so the client can release it to allow the body to heal. You’ll also understand how the human body can be overwhelmed by stress and stay ‘stuck’ in flight or fight mode if blockages are not released.
In this module you will learn the power of the sacral blocks, which are cushioned wedges that can be cleverly positioned to balance the pelvis, ease pain and correct sacral dysfunction. The blocks correct issues that lead to back pain and sciatica. Discover how to correctly position sacral blocks during every healing session to deliver more movement and Spinal Wave to clients, allowing the body to heal itself.
Deep spinal blockages come after years of emotional, chemical and physical stress but this training gives you the opportunity to practice how to feel the layers and understand the tone of each type of blockage. You will learn how to track and feel healing through your hand to assess and release spinal nerve blockages.
Healing isn’t just a physical transformation - it can be aural, too. Clients want to understand and learn what's happening in their body and this training teaches you the skills to explain the changes happening for the client as it occurs. Clients will be blown away by your deep practitioner knowledge as you learn how to describe healing and give clients an understanding of what’s going on in their body. Learn the art of communicating successfully with clients to generate more powerful healing.
Our training gives you the skills to be an incredible practitioner, but also a healing coach who helps your clients get the most out of their healing session while on the table, but also impart lifestyle advice and wisdom to amplify healing outside of treatment times. In this hands-on session, you see how to help your clients get lifelong results through your wellness coaching.

Whether you want 20-minute or hour-long sessions with clients, this module explains how to create the order and structured routine you need to help your clients heal.
Removing trauma from the body - particularly trauma that has been stored for a long period of time - can be released through spinal shaking. In this module you’ll learn the technique to move trauma through the body and expand the Spinal Wave while allowing clients to connect with their heart. Practitioners learn to diagnose their clients to understand the symptoms, relate it to the 7 gateways of the spine and communicate what’s needed to the client so they can release it.

In this hands-on session, you will practice broadening your healing to work with multiple people at the one time. This unique opportunity to work with more than one client at a time maximises treatment options and expands your healing opportunities. You will see how to set up a clinic with multiple tables while practicing how to nurture yourself while seeing more clients
Healers do not have to rely on one-to-one healing, but can treat three people using this technique in their clinic. This hands-on training builds on the previous session to learn how to work on three people at one time and practice the techniques that enable you to heal more clients.
In this section you will learn how to overcome your deepest fears about being a world class, abundant, successful and waitlisted healer.
When you transform your mindset, you transform your life.
Instead of living in fear about what could happen, you will develop a growth mindset, and be able to reach your true potential.
In business and all of life, your mindset is the make-or-break factor that will propel or derail your aspirations.
Tony Robbins says that merely operating your practice leaves you stressed out and overwhelmed. To build a healing practice that’s strong and adaptable, you must adopt the mindset of a business owner.
Here are our modules that we will cover below to help you transform from a stuck to a successful growth mindset.
People often feel they need to “heal more” before they’re ready to get their work out there - people need your help now! Lets start at exactly where you are at now with this audit and from there we can only transform -
“It’s not about waiting until you’re done working on yourself.
It’s not about “heal first” and then you’ll be ready. The “healing” comes within this journey
Build you and they will come. If you are negative, you will attract negative and repel the positive. If you want the life and practice of your dreams, you will need to attract it!
The first step in changing our thoughts and our destiny is being aware of the thoughts we are having during each day.
Most of us are bright, intelligent, loving human beings that have been sabotaging our own growth.
As an example: you get to work and there are not very many clients on the books. You begin the inner dialogue of “there are not enough clients; what am I doing wrong; what if my modality doesnt really doesn’t work; what if it does work, but it’s just me; what if all of my clients just quit today; what if they do and I can’t pay my bills…?”
This negative inner dialogue will sabotage your success, in this module we will cover the 5 steps to freedom.
Most of us don’t even realize that we have these thoughts running through our head all day.
Many healers find themselves a “slave” to their work. “There just isn’t enough time in the day.” The purpose of this module is to give you a plan of action to create the perfect life.
When it comes to building a practice, I have seen healers work on themselves and their practice thrives. In other words “build you and they will come!”
