The hardest part is often knowing where to start
Energetic Foundations gives you that beginning
Learn from the Spinal Energetics team
Your primary guide throughout the learning experience is Heidi, our Learning and Development Manager.
Alongside Heidi, you'll also learn from Pat, one of our lead teachers and hear from Dr Sarah Jane about Spinal Energetics and its origins.
Together, they bring years of experience in education, nervous system work and Spinal Energetics, making complex concepts approachable, practical and deeply engaging.
Develop a strong foundation at your own pace
Energetic Foundations is designed to fit around your schedule, giving you the flexibility to learn when you have the time and space to fully engage.
Whether you prefer to move through the course over a weekend or take your time over several weeks, you can progress at a pace that feels right for you.
Each module includes thoughtfully structured lessons, practical reflections and integration checkpoints to help you absorb the material rather than simply consume it.

FAQS
How long will I have access to the Energetic Foundations course materials?
Your purchase includes 120 days (four months) of access to the course from the date of purchase.
What if I'm sceptical of energy work?
Scepticism is welcome, particularly when it comes with curiosity. Spinal Energetics does not require you to suspend critical thinking in order to engage with the idea of energy, nor does it ask you to accept a scientific explanation for something simply because scientific language makes it sound more credible.
Across cultures and periods of history, people have developed different frameworks for understanding experiences that are not easily described through anatomy alone. Eastern traditions developed detailed energetic models, while Western science has developed increasingly precise methods for studying physiology, perception, behaviour and relationship. These ways of knowing are not interchangeable, and there is something valuable in resisting the urge to make them artificially agree.
There are also thinkers, including biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who have asked whether our existing models fully account for pattern, connection and organisation in living systems. His idea of morphic resonance remains a hypothesis rather than an established scientific mechanism, and Spinal Energetics should not present it as proof of how the modality works. Its usefulness is different: it demonstrates that asking an unconventional question and claiming to have proven the answer are not the same thing.
That distinction matters to the way we teach. Some things can be described through established science, some are areas of active research, some belong to longstanding philosophical or energetic traditions, and some remain unknown. We would rather be clear about those differences than make the work sound more certain than it is. You are invited to learn, observe, experience and decide what makes sense to you.
Is Energetic Foundations right for me if I'm changing careers?
Yes. We expect some participants to take Energetic Foundations while exploring a new professional direction or considering a career change.
Whether you are coming from healthcare, corporate work, education, business, a creative profession or another field entirely, the course allows you to explore Spinal Energetics before making the larger commitment involved in practitioner training.
It can help you determine whether the subject matter genuinely interests you and whether further training fits the direction you want to take.
Can I progress to Spinal Energetics Level One after completing Energetic Foundations?
Yes! Energetic Foundations is the recommended starting point for anyone considering practitioner training, particularly people who do not already have a body-based, health or related professional background.
If you decide to continue after completing the course, you will have greater familiarity with the language, principles and context used in Level One.
Completion of Energetic Foundations does not automatically guarantee acceptance into Level One. Any applicable Level One admission requirements still apply.
Will I learn about Spinal Energetics during the course?
Yes! Energetic Foundations introduces Spinal Energetics directly and includes material designed to move beyond simply memorising concepts.
You will have opportunities to consider the principles through learning, observation and experiential exercises so that you can understand how the different elements relate to the modality as a whole.
The purpose is not to tell you what you should experience or believe, but to give you enough context to form your own informed understanding.
What will I learn in Energetic Foundations?
You will be introduced to the core principles that inform Spinal Energetics and the relationship the modality explores between the body, nervous system and energy.
The course contains six modules delivered through video learning and module checkpoints. Topics move from foundational understandings of the body and relevant scientific concepts through to the interpretation of energy and practitioner self-awareness.
Where scientific material is included, it is used to explain established concepts within its appropriate context rather than to present scientific language as proof of energetic ideas.
The course is intended to give you a coherent foundation for personal learning and useful background knowledge should you later decide to apply for Level One Practitioner Training.
I'm not sure if I want to become a practitioner. Is this still for me?
Yes! You do not need to know whether you want to become a practitioner before taking Energetic Foundations.
For some people, the course is simply an opportunity to understand the relationship between the body, nervous system and energy from the perspective of Spinal Energetics and to satisfy a long-held curiosity.
For others, it may become the beginning of a new professional direction or lead to further study of the modality.
There is no expectation that completing Energetic Foundations means you should continue into practitioner training.
Is this practitioner training?
No. Energetic Foundations is an introductory educational course designed to help you understand the principles behind Spinal Energetics and gain greater context for the practice.
It is not a practitioner certification and it does not teach you how to provide Spinal Energetics sessions to clients.
Instead, it provides a foundation from which you can explore the modality for your own interest and, if you choose, decide whether you would like to apply for Level One Practitioner Training.
Do I need a background in wellness, holistic or energy work?
No, Energetic Foundations is designed for anyone who is curious about Spinal Energetics and wants to develop a deeper understanding of the body, nervous system and energetic concepts considered within the modality.
Some participants are healthcare professionals, bodyworkers, therapists, coaches or practitioners. Others come from completely different backgrounds including corporate, education, business and creative industries.
You do not need to arrive with a particular belief about energy. Curiosity, an openness to learning and a willingness to consider different ways of understanding the body are enough.
How do I get started with Energetic Foundations?
Simply purchase the course and you will receive immediate access to the online learning portal.
Energetic Foundations is fully self-paced, allowing you to move through the modules in your own time and revisit the material throughout your access period. You may complete it over a shorter period or move through it more gradually depending on your schedule and the time you want to give to the material.
