The Adjusting Room is a space to discover, transform and awaken.
I call this “Presence.”
…the ability to be fully here, in the moment, attuned to what is actually happening rather than lost in what was or what might be.
Come home to your body, your life and your passion… with ease, connection and flow.
This is the Adjusting Room.

Instead of ignoring or pushing away your pain – NetworkSpinal asks you to listen … with presence. To feel with more subtlety. To hear with curiosity. To see and witness with awe. Intention with attention. This presence creates and nurtures an environment for healing and growth.
Make space for your pain to speak up, to tell you its stories, to listen to what it is asking of you to change and upgrade. Bringing coherence to your body, your mind and your life.
Applying Neuroplastic Principles
The brain and nervous system do continue to change throughout our life. With the application of these principles you move from a glimpse, to a glimmer, to a state and trait change. Presence becomes a new baseline. This takes attention, intention, time and energy. Your life is worth it.
USE it or Lose it
We have all heard this before. What we don’t use – we lose over time. Neural circuits that are not used over time do degrade.
Use it and Improve it
Neural changes can continually be improved, refined and upgraded. This is exciting to know that MORE is always possible.. and that doesn’t mean that you are “less”.
Meaning Matters
The meaning we give to our actions/focus really does matter to the brain.
Repetition Matters
While it would be great to have one adjustment change your spine and nervous system forever, it doesn’t work like that. You don’t become a concert pianist after one practice. The more you put in, the more you get out.
Time and Intensity Matters
I’m sure you have heard of the 10,000 hour rule? Practice, practice, practice.
Age Matters
Yes, younger brains are more plastic AND you still can teach an old dog new tricks… Thankfully!
