Spinal Energetics
Spinal Energetics works with the body, the spine, and the nervous system through light touch, and sometimes no touch at all.
The work creates conditions for the body to do what it already knows how to do: release stored tension, integrate experience, and return to its own rhythm.
There is nothing to fix
Nothing to perform
Your body shows us what it's ready to meet.
What to Expect
A session is usually around 60 minutes
We'll talk briefly first
What's been moving in your life, what's been stuck, what you've been carrying.
Then you'll lie down
Fully clothed, on a massage table. I'll work with your spine and your energetic field, sometimes with light touch, sometimes with hands hovering nearby.
Your body may respond in many ways
You might feel subtle movement, breath shifts, warmth, vibration. You might experience emotional release. You might fall into deep stillness. None of these are right or wrong. Your body chooses its own response.
We close with a few minutes of integration
Water, quiet, time to come back.

About AV Moreau
A practitioner
A listener
An educator who came home through the body
AV's path into somatic work took the scenic route. From the boardroom to the classroom, AV has worked across continents in the areas of organizational culture, employee wellbeing, leadership development, and experiential education. She spent the last decade working as an art and health educator, supporting children and youth in alternative education settings, empowering them find their way back one relationship at a time.
Everywhere she worked, the same thing became clear: people are rarely met as whole. And the part of us that holds what we've lived is the body.
What brought AV home, in the end, was her own body.
Spinal Energetics is the practice where her work has come to rest - slow, gentle, and consent-forward. A way of listening to the body that doesn't require it to perform.
AV offers one-on-one Spinal Energetics sessions and free 15-minute consultations from Vancouver, Canada, on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ peoples.
This work is for people who are curious about what their body already knows.
If that’s you, welcome home.
