Real Results: Client Testimonials

Terry S. from Lipton, Canada
I feel good!  My body feels light, calm and way less inflamed.

Allyson, Yorkton Canada


Hi my name is Allyson. I was fortunate to have attended a retreat featuring Spinal Flow in Yorkton in October. Prior to attending, I had been struggling with sleep, perimenopause, cysts in my knees, and, and lots of issues I knew. I needed to deal with but didn’t know where to begin. I enjoyed seven treatments with Gail Vilcu and Yolanda Summer-Spencer as the practitioners. Since attending our spinal flow retreat  I have felt an immense shift. 

The physical changes included feeling calmer and more relaxed as though there was more room in my body. I felt my spine felt longer.  I was no longer weighed down by the worries and stresses of life. I felt more positive and practice gratitude daily but also have been trying to prioritize time for myself to recharge. I feel like I can actually breath now. 
The mental/emotional aspect has been observing my behaviour and mood changes. I see what drains my energy and can be more graceful with myself. I can also see most in others that may be directed at me and take them less personally. And I find it easier to apologize when I’ve had time to view my own moods and behaviours and respond with consideration so that others can approach me with the same consideration. 

On the regular, I practice a more focused breathing routine for my own good and scan my body for tension and try to assess my feelings and emotions by observing them instead of being sucked in to them. I don’t succeed all the time but feel overall that I am more aware and have been able to work on myself with more success and kindness towards myself than I have in a long time! 

I cannot recommend this enough as the results are so much more than I can put into words. Try for yourself. I look forward to more sessions in the future!

“Você é incrível.  Tenho resistido a tantas coisas.  Principalmente inconscientemente.  Sinto que estou me movendo para a frente e lutando, mas a luta é simplesmente..me.  Eu sei que esta é uma grande parte do processo e eu amo o que você está fazendo.  Você é que luz brilhante!  E você atraiu pessoas incríveis.  Obrigado por tudo.  Estou muito animado com o avanço que sinto é iminente.  Muito amor!!"

This transformation speaks for itself

This beautiful woman received 6 Spinal Flow sessions over 2.5 days — and the results speak volumes.

In the before photo, her posture tells a story many of us know well…

➤ Shoulders drawn forward
➤ Head shifted off-center
➤ Spine tense and compressed

In the after photo, everything changes:

✨ Her spine is upright
✨ Her shoulders are relaxed
✨ Her chest is open
✨ And her presence radiates grounded ease

"I can feel my back touch the seat in the car for the first time in years."
Yes — years. That moment of reconnection! It’s priceless!

That’s the power of releasing.
That’s the magic of nervous system healing.
That’s the gift of Spinal Flow. 🌿

When we let go — physically, emotionally, energetically — the body remembers how to heal.
And it doesn’t take forever.
It just takes safety, skillful support, and the right space to surrender. 💫


 

Real Stories Lasting Shifts

Every healing journey is personal — yet in this sacred work, we are never alone.

 

These transformations come from the hearts of those who’ve experienced the power of Spinal Flow, and emotional release through our clinics, retreats, and sessions.

 

We’re honored to witness their breakthroughs, their softness, their rising. May their stories inspire you to trust in what’s possible for your own healing journey.

Finding Alignment and Freedom

Before we began our Spinal Flow sessions, this lady's  body was a roadmap of discomfort, clearly shown in her initial posture screen. 
Her head was significantly tilted, feet angled outwards, and various points in her spine, hips, and knees were visibly out of alignment.
For years, she carried the weight of physical imbalances she couldn’t explain — despite countless visits to doctors, specialists, and alternative practitioners, real answers remained out of reach.

The following pictures show the incredible improvements her body went through.
The improvements extend throughout her core: we can see her rib cage and torso alignment went from 2 to 0 degrees (a positive shift in this context). 
Her hips (ASIS) from 1 degrees to 2 degrees.  The reason being is the ASIS is holding all the support while the upper part of the body was out of alignment.  This will realign itself as the body begins to do more deeper healing.

These incremental changes across her body have brought her a newfound sense of balance and ease.  It's not just about the numbers; it's about how she now feels. She stands taller, moves with less effort, and feels more connected to her body's natural alignment.

This isn't just a physical change; it's a testament to how profound alignment can impact your entire well-being.
This journey has given Tracey so much more than just improved posture — through Spinal Flow, she’s experienced a significant reduction in the chronic pain she carried for years. Her mobility has improved, she feels more vibrant and energized, and perhaps most importantly, she’s reclaimed a sense of confidence and ease within her own body.

This is what commitment to healing looks like.


These photos (above and below) were taken at the beginning of our Spinal Flow journey in November 2024, again in January 2025, and finally in February 2025.

The transformation is nothing short of phenomenal. 


With dedication, consistency, and a willingness to go deeper, this incredible woman has experienced powerful shifts in both mind and body alignment.

Spinal Flow isn’t just about posture — it’s about unlocking tension, releasing what no longer serves, and allowing the nervous system to return to a place of ease.

This is the result of showing up — session after session — and letting the body remember how to heal. 



Testimonial: 

"I didn’t realize how much tension I had been carrying until it started to release."

Before starting Spinal Flow, I had lived with chronic pain for years. My body was inflamed, my posture was off, and honestly, I had forgotten what ease even felt like. You can see it on my face — tight, weighed down, and disconnected.

 

But look at the difference now.

Through a committed series of Spinal Flow sessions, I’ve experienced a dramatic reduction in inflammation, not just in my body but in how I feel. The pain has softened. My posture has aligned. And even my facial features — once tense and heavy — have relaxed into a lighter, more grounded version of me.

This journey has brought me back to myself in ways I never expected. It’s more than physical — it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply healing."

Spinal Flow
is so much more than alignment.

 

What we carry emotionally shows up physically — not just in our posture, but in the tension we hold, the stress in our shoulders, and even the expression on our face.

As we release trapped emotions stored deep in the body and subconscious — emotions like fear, resentment, overwhelm, or betrayal — we begin to soften. The nervous system shifts. Inflammation begins to melt away. And what once felt heavy begins to lift.

These before-and-after photos are a clear reflection of that release.
You can see the difference. Not just in the body, but in the whole being.

That’s the power of Spinal Flow.
That’s the body remembering how to heal.

Smiling in Mirror
“I didn’t realize how much I was holding — not just in my body, but in my heart. After just a few sessions, I could feel myself breathing easier, standing taller, and seeing someone softer and stronger in the mirror. It’s like my face started telling a new story — one of healing, peace, and coming home to myself.”

📸 Before & After: 20 Spinal Flow Sessions

Take a moment to really look at these two images. Same man. Same shirt. But a body telling a very different story. 💫

The Before Picture, we see:

• Tension in the shoulders and upper back
• Asymmetry in the shoulder height and scapular placement
• Compression through the lower back and pelvis
• Uneven weight distribution through the legs

After 20 Spinal Flow sessions:

• Shoulders are relaxed and more level
• Spine and posture appear longer and more aligned
• Noticeably improved symmetry through the torso and hips
• Energy is grounded — he's standing taller, with ease and balance

This is what it looks like when the nervous system starts to come out of survival mode and into safety.

Spinal Flow works by clearing blockages along the spine and activating the body’s innate healing intelligence. With consistent care, the body remembers what balance feels like — and begins to return to it.

This isn’t just about posture.
It’s about pain reduction, emotional release, and a body that feels safe enough to let go.
