How many sessions do I need?

While a single session can bring noticeable shifts and clarity, Spinal Energetics works most effectively with continuity. It's like teaching your body a new language. Multiple sessions allow us to go deeper, uncover new layers and integrate changes at a pace that feels safe and natural. Think of it like the difference between a single therapy session versus an ongoing journey; each session builds on the last, supporting lasting transformation.

In the beginning you might benefit from more frequent sessions (every 1-2 weeks) to help build the mind body connection.  3-6 sessions is a general recommendation as an initial commitment.
