How it works
How we help your nervous system let go of anxiety
Anxiety is a stressed nervous system that's stuck in defence mode. Over 12 weeks we work with your body and your mind together to retrain it - one clear step at a time, so you always know where you are and what's next.
Why anxiety gets stuck
Your nervous system is doing its job - it's just stuck on
When life throws enough stress or trauma at you, your nervous system braces to protect you. That's healthy in the short term. But when the stress has nowhere to go, the brace stays on - and the fight-or-flight switch stays "ON" even when you're safe.
That's why breathing, talking and medication often only help a little. They work on the thoughts or the symptoms. The nervous system underneath is still braced.
Where you are now
Defensive physiology
Tense, on guard, reactive. Anxious thoughts, poor sleep, tired but wired.
Where we help you move
Growth physiology
Calmer, more relaxed, proactive. More energy, better sleep, and more ease in life.
Neurosomatic Integration™
Two parts, working together
Neurosomatic Integration™ is the approach I've developed over 20+ years - first as a chiropractor, then training to the highest level in Network Spinal Analysis. It works on the nervous system through the body, and on the patterns in your thinking, at the same time.
Part 1 · Body
Release what the body is holding
Gentle spinal entrainment sessions help your nervous system release stress and tension that has built up over years.
Very gentle, light contacts - no cracking or manipulation
You stay fully clothed
Sessions are short, and most people feel calmer afterwards
Your body learns new, healthier responses to stress
Part 2 · Mind
Retrain the thinking patterns
Mindset and NLP strategies so you notice your triggers early and respond to life instead of reacting to it.
Practical strategies you can use straight away
The Wellness Mindset Mastery online course to use between sessions

Skills that stay with you after the 12 weeks
Your path
From first call to feeling freer
Free phone chat
A no-pressure conversation. Tell me what's going on and I'll explain how we work, so we both know if it's a good fit.
Initial consultation
We go through your history and what you want to change, map out what your body and mind need, and you have your first session.
Your 12-week program
Regular sessions plus the mindset course and book. We track your progress along the way so you can see the change.
Beyond 12 weeks
Many people keep going because they love how they feel. Others take what they've learned and run with it. Your choice.
The 12 weeks
What to expect along the way
Change happens in stages. Knowing the path helps you see your progress - and not judge it on session one. Everyone is different, so we give you what you need, when you need it.
Weeks 1–4
Calm and awareness
You start to see why you've been stuck and the patterns begin to break. More moments of ease, and you feel less triggered.
Weeks 5–8
A new baseline
Your background anxiety drops. More peace, better sleep, more energy.
Weeks 9–12
Freer
We work through your triggers. You feel more in control, more proactive - and freer to enjoy your life.
In the clinic
What a session feels like
You lie comfortably on a table, fully clothed. I use very light, precise contacts along the spine to help your nervous system notice where it's holding tension - and let it go.
Gentle - many people are surprised how light it is
Most people walk out feeling calmer and lighter
Sometimes old emotions or tension release - that's normal, and part of the process
Our clinic is in Northcote, Auckland
"As I progressed through care, releasing tension and re-balancing my nervous system, I very quickly noticed a difference in the anxiety... I'm living without panic attacks or over the top anxiety consistently for the first time in over 20 years!"

Common questions
Does it hurt?
No. The contacts are very gentle. There's no cracking or forceful manipulation.
Do I need to stop my medication?
No. Many clients are on medication when they start. Keep working with your doctor, and never change medication without their advice.
I've tried everything. Will this be different?
Most people I see have tried breathing, talk therapy or medication first. None of those work on the nervous system directly - that's the difference. On our free phone chat we'll be honest about whether we think we can help.
How often will I come in?
More often at the start, while your nervous system is learning something new, then less often as you progress. We'll map this out for you at your initial consultation.
Do I need a referral?
No. Just get in touch for a free phone chat.
