The Team
Janet Bates
Janet has worked for 50 years as a Registered Nurse and has maintained an interest and involvement in natural therapies. She is also a Reiki Practitioner and has studied Rongoa and Mirimiri. After receiving a Spinal Flow treatment from visiting friends and being amazed at the increased function and relief she felt from a long-term shoulder injury, she felt compelled to learn this amazing therapy. Janet is very humble about her healing ability and insists Spinal Flow assists the recipient to find blockages in their own spine, and with nudging from the Spinal Flow practitioner undoes these blockages that the body put there in a bid to manage stress and trauma. Spinal Flow helps the body to move from the Fight/Flight state to Rest/Digest and heal. Healing is impossible when in Fight/Flight
Spinal flow invites each person to begin a journey of self-healing as they learn to trust their own bodies and processes.
Ned Bates
Ned has been interested in healing for many years. It started with a neck fracture 30+ years ago when he studied Hypnotherapy as a way to self-manage his pain. He is also a Reiki Master, and studied Rongoa Māori Miri Miri, Traditional Thai Massage and then discovered Spinal Flow. People who know Ned would describe him as a naturally gifted healer who has helped many people relieve their physical and emotional pain.
He has seen what spinal flow does for people and believes that Spinal Flow discovered him. It fits with his philosophy of ease and flow in life results in healthy mind, healthy body.
