What Happened When She Reduced Her Chemical Load

"I didn’t know my body was holding onto so much..."

That’s what a client told me after just a couple of Spinal Flow sessions.

She came to me with what she described as “a bundle of little issues”—brain fog, fatigue, constant bloating, sinus congestion, and a general feeling of being out of sorts. Nothing extreme, but enough to leave her feeling disconnected from herself.

What we discovered together is something I see often in clinic: her body was under chemical stress.

What is chemical stress?

In Spinal Flow, we look at stress in three forms—emotional, physical, and chemical. Chemical stressors include everything your body has to process: from the food you eat, the water you drink, and the air you breathe, to the personal care and cleaning products you use every day.

But it goes even deeper.

Chemical stress can also come from things your body reacts to, like gluten, dairy, additives, or even certain medications.

Over time, these stressors can build up in the system. Your body, always doing its best to protect you, stores that stress—often showing up as symptoms we think are “just part of life.”

Her body was holding on—until it started letting go

As we began releasing the blockages in her spine related to chemical stress, she also started making a few small but powerful changes:

Then something shifted.

Her digestion began to ease.

Her skin stopped reacting.

She had more energy in the mornings.

Her mind felt clearer—like the fog had finally lifted.

But even more powerful than the physical changes? She began to feel like herself again. More present. More in tune with her body. More confident in her ability to listen, respond, and care for herself in a way that felt good and sustainable.

It’s not about doing everything—it’s about creating space

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight.

But small steps can make a big difference—especially when combined with nervous system support like Spinal Flow.

Your body knows how to heal. Sometimes it just needs the space to do what it’s already designed for.

If you’re feeling foggy, bloated, tired, or stuck, there may be more going on beneath the surface. Let’s explore it together.

✨ Book a session and begin the process of reconnecting with your body’s innate wisdom.
