The Visionary Behind the Wave: Dr Carli Axford and the Origins of Spinal Flow
Dr. Carli Axford, the founder of the Spinal Flow Technique, is a world-renowned former chiropractor and visionary healer whose career has been dedicated to uncovering the root causes of physical and emotional suffering through holistic healing. Her journey began with a rigorous academic foundation, where she graduated at the top of her class with a double degree in Chiropractic Science from RMIT. This Western scientific background provided her with a deep understanding of spinal anatomy, but it was her quest for more effective, non-invasive results that led her to explore the deeper layers of human healing.
Innovation at the Texas Back Institute
One of the most defining chapters of Dr. Axford’s career was her time at the world-leading Texas Back Institute. During her work there, she applied her evolving understanding of spinal health and nervous system communication to complex back issues. The results were revolutionary: the approach helped prevent up to 85% of recommended back surgeries by restoring the body’s own healing intelligence. This experience solidified her belief that the body often possesses the innate ability to heal itself if the right conditions are created, without the need for invasive procedures or forced manipulations, embodying her commitment to holistic wellness services.
A Global Synthesis of Healing
Beyond her clinical work in the United States and Australia, Dr. Axford traveled extensively, setting up clinics in Bali and observing the profound impact of emotions and energy on physical health during her time in India. She expanded her expertise by studying numerous advanced modalities, including:
- Network Spinal Analysis
- Bio-Geometric Integration
- Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET)
- Applied Kinesiology
The Birth of Spinal Flow Technique
After 20 years of research, trial, and clinical observation, Dr. Axford synthesized these diverse experiences into what is now the Spinal Flow Technique. She discovered 33 specific 'access points' on the spine where the nervous system is most accessible and identified seven 'gateways' that store different types of stress.
Today, Dr. Axford has transitioned from private practice to a global mission: training a new generation of practitioners through her Spinal Flow certification programs.
At Pure Soul Integration, we are proud to bring this revolutionary technique—born from Dr. Axford's work at the Texas Back Institute—to our clients, helping you tap into your own innate wisdom and find a life of ease and vitality.

The Aging Project with Shelley Craft
Dr Carli explains what Spinal Flow is, how it differs from traditional chiropractic or physiotherapy, and why more women in midlife are exploring nervous-system-based approaches to pain, tension, and healing.
In this episode, we cover:
- What Spinal Flow is, in simple terms
- How the spine and nervous system are connected
- Why stress can show up physically in the body
- What “blockages” mean in The 7 gateways of the spine
- What actually happens during a Spinal Flow session
- Why some people experience emotional release or spontaneous movement
- The links between chronic stress, menopause, pain, sleep, inflammation, digestion, pelvic floor symptoms, headaches, jaw tension, and nervous system overload
- Whether Spinal Flow may be suitable for women with osteoporosis, post-surgical spines, or menopause-related symptoms
- What skeptics should know When back pain needs medical investigation
- Practical ways to support spinal health through posture, breath, stress reduction, and nervous-system care
This conversation is a reminder that the body is deeply connected — and that pain is not always just about tissue damage. Sometimes, the body isn’t broken. It’s overloaded.

Mums & Bubs Spinal Flow Sessions
Give your baby the gift of a clear and balanced nervous system
At Pure Soul Integration, I believe that healing should be a family journey.
Mums & Bubs sessions— provide a gentle, supportive space to nurture both the mother’s postpartum recovery and the baby’s developing nervous system. The transition into motherhood and the experience of birth can store layers of physical and emotional stress in the body.
Pregnancy, birth and the early months of motherhood can be a time of enormous physical and emotional change. These sessions offer a calm, nurturing environment where both mum and bub can receive gentle support and time to slow down, reconnect and settle their nervous systems.
Why Spinal Flow for Babies and Infants?
Babies are incredibly receptive to Spinal Flow. Because their nervous systems are so "new," they often respond much faster than adults, sometimes showing shifts in just a few minutes.
Birth & Early Development
Gentle touch may help support your baby as they adjust to life outside the womb and through the physical changes that come with birth and early development.
Settling & Regulation
Calms the nervous system to help overstimulated babies settle and sleep more deeply.
Digestive Ease
Supports the "rest and digest" state to help with colic, reflux, and constipation.
Growth Milestones
Ensures the spine is free of blockages to support healthy physical development.
Immune Support
A clear nervous system helps the body's natural defenses function optimally.
Connection & Bonding
Sessions provide beautiful one-on-one time for mum and bub, supporting connection while creating space for both of you to slow down.
Support for Mum
Mum doesn’t have to wait until bub is settled to receive care. Mums & Bubs sessions allow you to be supported too, because your wellbeing matters just as much.
What to Expect: Your First Mums & Bubs Session
We know that life with a little one can be unpredictable. Our sessions are designed to be flexible, low-stress, and completely child-led.
1. A Calm, Safe Space
You’ll enter a nurturing environment where your baby’s comfort is the priority. There is no pressure for your baby to remain still or quiet.
2. Gentle, Non-Invasive Touch
Spinal Flow uses gentle, non-forceful touch. There is no cracking, popping, or forceful adjustments. For babies, the touch is exceptionally light—often described as no heavier than the weight of a coin.
3. Flexible Positioning
Your baby doesn’t need to be placed on a treatment table. Depending on what feels comfortable, they can receive their session while:
Being held in your arms.
Feeding or nursing.
Lying on a soft surface or your tummy.
4. Shorter, Potent Sessions for Bub
While a typical adult session might last 30 minutes, babies often only need 5 to 10 minutes to achieve a full nervous system release. This allows plenty of time for you to also receive your own care while your baby is settled.
5. Sessions Follow Your Baby’s Needs
There is no need to rush. Your baby’s cues guide the session, and the amount of hands-on time may vary depending on their age, needs and how they are feeling on the day.
6. Simply Observe & Connect
You may notice your baby becoming quieter, yawning, stretching, moving gently or drifting off to sleep. Every baby is different, and there is no particular response they need to have. These are all beautiful signs that their body is releasing stress and integrating the "Spinal Wave".
