Go Beyond the Physical. Heal at Every Level.

At Body in Balance Chiropractic, our foundational approach has focused on restoring movement, alignment, posture, and stability through our MAPS™ method — our signature neurological and alignment-based clinical approach to posture, movement, and long-term physical balance.

But healing doesn’t stop with the physical body.

Stress, emotional tension, energetic blockages, and nervous system overwhelm all influence how you feel — mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Our Mind-Body Healing services support the deeper layers of wellness that traditional care often overlooks. Whether you’re carrying unresolved stress, feeling “stuck,” or seeking greater connection and clarity, this work helps your body and mind return to a calmer, more balanced state.

This is where science-based alignment meets mindful, energetic, and emotional restoration.

How the Body Holds Stress

Your body doesn’t just respond to what’s happening now — it also reflects what traumas and stress it has been through.

Stress, emotions, and life experiences can leave an imprint in the body. Over time, this may show up as physical tension, guarded posture, pain, shallow breathing, or a nervous system that feels stuck in “on” mode.

When this happens, symptoms don’t always make logical sense.

They may include:

  • Trouble relaxing, sleeping, or fully exhaling
  • Feeling overwhelmed, irritable, or emotionally heavy
  • Anxiety and negative thoughts
  • Poor digestion
  • Being stuck in a "fight or flight" response
  • Chronic or recurring pain without a clear cause
  • Tension that quickly returns after treatment
  • Neck, jaw, shoulder, chest, or hip tightness

These patterns aren’t imagined — they’re often signs that the body is holding more than just physical strain.

Mind-Body Healing work helps gently release stored stress and support your system in restoring balance — so your body can move, breathe, and respond with greater ease.

New to Mind-Body Healing? Start Where You’re Comfortable

If this is your first time exploring mind-body or energy-based care, you’re not alone — and there’s no “right” way to begin.

You don’t need to believe in anything specific.

You don’t need prior experience.

And you don’t need to do everything at once.

Many people start with a single session — such as Reiki, guided meditation, acupuncture, or hypnosis — simply to experience how it feels in their body and nervous system.

Others choose Mind-Body Healing because they want stress relief, emotional balance, or a deeper sense of calm — without any physical body work.

This work is gentle, supportive, and always guided at your pace.

We’ll meet you exactly where you are and help you choose what feels most aligned for you right now.

A Modern, Integrative Approach to Nervous System & Energy Healing

Every Mind-Body Healing session is personalized. Your visit may include one or more of these modalities:

Reiki Healing

Gentle, hands-on energy work that promotes deep relaxation, emotional release, and nervous system calm. Reiki helps quiet mental noise, restore energetic balance, and support the body’s natural healing response.

Acupuncture

A time-tested modality that restores energy flow, calms the nervous system, reduces pain, and supports emotional and physical balance. Acupuncture can be deeply grounding and restorative.

Guided Meditation

Personalized, one-on-one guided meditation sessions designed to help regulate your nervous system, quiet the mind, and create a deeper sense of inner stability and awareness.

Emotional & Energetic Release

A deeply restorative healing process designed to release stored emotional tension, clear stagnant energetic patterns, and support nervous system regulation. This work helps address stress, unresolved experiences, and subconscious patterns that can keep the body feeling stuck or overwhelmed—creating space for greater clarity, ease, and inner balance.

Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy

A gentle, guided state of focused awareness that allows access to subconscious patterns. Hypnosis can support stress reduction, emotional release, habit change, trauma processing, and nervous system recalibration.

Nervous System Reset Session

A unique integrative session combining energetic and somatic techniques to calm the stress response, restore balance, and help your system shift out of fight-or-flight and into healing mode.

What to Expect from Our Mind-Body Healing Services

Emotional & Energetic Release — What to Expect

This session focuses on releasing stored emotional and energetic patterns that may be held in the body and nervous system.

Many people carry unresolved stress, emotional charge, or subconscious tension that the body has not fully processed. This work creates space for those patterns to gently unwind—often resulting in a feeling of lightness, clarity, or emotional relief.

Sessions are calm, supportive, and personalized. You’ll remain fully clothed and relaxed throughout. Depending on your needs, the session may integrate one or more therapeutic approaches—such as energy-based techniques, guided awareness, acupuncture, or rhythmic/sound elements—always applied intentionally and with your comfort as the priority.

You do not need to understand or choose the techniques in advance. Your practitioner guides the process and explains what’s happening along the way.

This work is especially helpful if you feel emotionally “stuck,” weighed down, or aware that something needs to be released but can’t quite name it.

Guided Meditation — What to Expect

Guided meditation sessions are designed to cultivate present-moment awareness, internal safety, and nervous system calm.

Unlike generic meditation practices, these sessions are one-on-one and tailored to you. You’ll be gently guided into a relaxed, focused state that supports mental clarity, emotional balance, and a deeper connection to your body.

Depending on what’s most supportive, guided meditation may be combined with breath awareness, visualization, subtle energy work, or grounding techniques. The intention is not to “clear” or “fix” anything, but to help your system settle, integrate, and become more resilient.

This approach is ideal if you’re new to mind-body work, feel overstimulated, or want a gentle entry point into nervous system regulation and inner awareness.

Many people leave feeling calmer, more centered, and better able to respond to daily stress.

Nervous System Reset — What to Expect

This session focuses on calming and stabilizing the nervous system to help the body shift out of chronic stress and into a state of regulation.

If you feel constantly “on,” overwhelmed, burned out, or unable to fully relax, your nervous system may be stuck in a protective fight-or-flight pattern. This work helps restore the body’s capacity to feel safe, grounded, and present.

Sessions may integrate gentle energetic techniques, somatic awareness, acupuncture, guided relaxation, or rhythm-based elements—always chosen based on what your system responds to best in that moment.

Rather than releasing specific emotional content, this session prioritizes building regulation and capacity, creating a stable foundation from which deeper healing can occur.

Many people experience slower breathing, a sense of deep calm, improved sleep, and greater emotional resilience following these sessions.

The Missing Link in Mind-Body Healing

Your Physical Structure is the Vessel for Your Energetic Flow

Many holistic and energy-based healing approaches focus primarily on emotional or energetic layers.

Yet one essential truth is often overlooked:

Your physical structure is what carries and expresses your energy.

Why the Spine Matters

The spine is not just a column of bones.

It houses the spinal cord, protects the nervous system, and supports the communication network between your brain and your entire body.

When spinal alignment is compromised, communication between the brain and body becomes less efficient — and the system begins to compensate.

This can lead to:

  • Restricted nerve transmission - poor healing and "stuck" in pain patterns
  • Distorted or incomplete signals between brain and body
  • Compensation patterns that show up as pain, fatigue, or emotional imbalance

The Energetic Perspective

From an energetic perspective, the spine is also the channel through which intuition, internal guidance, and higher-self alignment flow.

When the spine is misaligned:

  • Energetic flow becomes disrupted - disconnect between Mind, Body & Spirit
  • Emotional patterns are harder to release
  • Stress lingers in the nervous system
  • You may feel disconnected, foggy, or “off”

The Integration Point

A spinal misalignment is both a neurological blockage and an energetic blockage.

This is why true mind-body healing must address both structure and energy — not one without the other.

Testimonials

T.A.

I continue to discover how physical imbalance and compensation patterns are manifestations of long-standing mental habits and defenses. The work has been deeply freeing — physically and psychologically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Mind-Body Healing differ from chiropractic or MAPS™?

MAPS™ focuses on posture, movement, and physical alignment using neurological and biomechanical principles. Mind-Body Healing focuses on the emotional, energetic, and nervous system layers that influence how the body feels, heals, and responds to stress. They are complementary but can also be experienced independently.

Do I need to do ALL of the mind-body services to benefit?

Not at all. You can absolutely start with one service at a time. Many people prefer to explore a single modality—such as Reiki, acupuncture, hypnosis, or guided meditation—before deciding if they’d like to integrate additional approaches. Your care is always guided by what feels right for you.

Can I book Mind-Body Healing sessions à la carte?

Yes. Mind-Body Healing services are available à la carte, and there is no requirement to commit to a package or combination of services. We want this experience to feel supportive and approachable—not overwhelming.

What if I’m interested in energy healing but nervous about chiropractic care?

That’s completely okay. You do not need to receive chiropractic care in order to benefit from Mind-Body Healing services. Many people begin with Reiki, meditation, hypnosis, or acupuncture alone. If you ever become curious about physical alignment work, we can explore that conversation gently and at your pace.

Can I combine MAPS™ and Mind-Body Healing if I want a more integrated approach?

Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine structural alignment through MAPS™ with Mind-Body Healing to support both the physical and energetic systems. This integration is always optional and customized based on your comfort level and goals.

What can I expect during a Mind-Body Healing session?

Sessions are calm, supportive, and personalized. Depending on the modality, you may remain fully clothed, lie comfortably, or be gently guided through awareness-based techniques. Most people leave feeling more relaxed, grounded, and clear.

Is energy healing or hypnosis safe?

Yes. These approaches are gentle, non-invasive, and safe for all ages. You remain in control and aware throughout your session, and everything is guided with care and intention.

How do I know which service is right for me?

That’s exactly what the complimentary consultation is for. We’ll talk through what you’re experiencing and help guide you toward the modality that best supports your current needs—without pressure or obligation.
