Network Spinal is a powerful quantum chiropractic technique. As a practitioner, this means taking a holistic look at the individual. Over time, trauma energy becomes a detriment to our health and well-being. We develop defense patterns, which often reduce our overall efficiency with the use of energy. My job is to evaluate the global defense pattern of the person, and then to bring awareness to it. Light touches in specific places along the spine induce greater mind-body connection, allowing for the release of bound energy. And just as the Sun is the source of energy and life on our planet, we can make changes to our nervous system that allow us to maximize our experiences in life.

she/her Grief Specialist - Eating Disorder Coach - Mindfulness Facilitator and CCI Practitioner
After moving to the Rogue Valley in 2017, Sabina developed an interest in mindfulness and started teaching it to youth in Ashland schools. She later obtained certification in Mindfulness Education and Sabina is a certified coach specializing in grief, eating disorders, and mindfulness. She lives in Ashland Oregon and is the mother of an amazing neurodivergent teenage son. Having worked in the healthcare field for over 18 years and graduating with a Masters in healthcare policy, her passion for advocacy in the area of mental health informs her work with both individuals and groups. Sabina’s experiences of loss through her adult years, including that of her mother and the suicide of her best friend, have led her to understand the complexities of grief and the importance of continuing the connection, even when our loved ones are no longer alive. She brings mindfulness to her clients to be with challenging emotions and beliefs with compassionate support. Having developed more of an appreciation for life through her own eating disorder and grief experiences, Sabina believes that we can navigate these challenges in a way that allows us to experience life more fully and with more joy.

Samantha has a deep passion for astrology and has dedicated over ten years to studying the stars. Astrological counseling merges traditional astrological knowledge with counseling techniques, helping individuals gain insights into personal challenges and life patterns. This process involves interpreting a person's birth chart, which is a snapshot of the sky at the moment of their birth. Through this interpretation, strengths, weaknesses, and potential life themes can be identified. This information is used to promote self-awareness, personal growth, and informed decision-making.
Samantha offers comprehensive birth chart and transit readings. If you're interested, we can thoughtfully incorporate astrological guidance into your bodywork session, as awareness is the ultimate healer.
