Elevated Healing is a private wellness practice specializing in holistic, root-cause care — with a primary focus on nervous system healing.

Your nervous system is the control center of your body. When it is under ongoing stress — whether chemical, physical, or emotional — your body’s ability to heal, regulate, and function optimally is reduced.

As a Nervous System & Chronic Pain Coach and Certified Spinal Flow Practitioner, my primary healing approach is the Spinal Flow Technique — a gentle yet deeply powerful bodywork therapy designed to restore nervous system function and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

By working directly with the nervous system, Spinal Flow helps release stored stress and unresolved tension patterns at their source. Many clients experience physical, emotional, and mental shifts after their healing sessions — feeling more balanced, grounded, and connected within themselves.

Clients often notice improvements with chronic pain, sleep, digestion, headaches, mobility, mood, hormonal balance, and more. This work supports adults and children of all ages who are navigating health challenges — or who simply want to address the underlying stress patterns contributing to their symptoms.

This work supports adults and children of all ages navigating health challenges — and also those who simply want to slow down, reset, and feel more at ease in their bodies. Spinal Flow encourages deep rest, relaxation, and regulation, making it a powerful tool and ideal support for stress management and preventative care.

I’ve had several sessions with Andrea, and she’s amazing at what she does. Spinal Flow has helped me feel calmer and less stressed; I feel better able to handle things, especially at work. I’ve also noticed a huge reduction in my tinnitus since receiving spinal flow care. I will continue to see Andrea for Spinal Flow for as long as I need to.

-Garnet D.

i started seeking Spinal Flow as an alternative to medication. i have suffered from chronic headaches for over a decade and have short lived results in treat them - trying many different therapies - even my own as a reflexologist!

After seeing Andrea only a few times, my headaches started easing up and becoming less frequent and painful with each healing session.

i haven’t had a headache for some time now; When I start to feel stressed, I immediately book a session or two. Spinal Flow makes me feel calm, relaxed, especially with the stress of dealing with family issues. I cannot recommend this treatment enough! It has improved my health & well-being!

-Lisa Frost (True Balance Reflexology)

Please consider speaking with Andrea about her services!! I can’t say enough about how Spinal Flow has improved my nervous system and chronic pain. She goes above and beyond for her clients and am grateful she is a part of my healing journey!!

-Robynn Carlson

I found Andrea on a post on Facebook about Spinal flow and healing. Being in chronic pain, I was open to anything as I have done acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, back injections, etc and all I am doing is putting a bandaid on the problem, I need some relief and healing. I am 46 and feel 80.

Spinal Flow is amazing! I am pain free after my sessions. I’ve only had 5 sessions so far and I can be a bit achy as I have a really demanding job but my constant pain and numb leg are GONE and my back feels amazing with no intense pain. I will continue with Andrea forever. Thank you, thank you! I appreciate it. It’s so weird, and my mind is blown by what she does. I also feel calmer when I’m not in pain.

-Crissy Mitchell

Andrea has a calm demeanour and makes you feel safe. She explains everything very well and in detail so you understand how Spinal Flow works and how the sessions will go. I had my first session today and it was great! I felt very relaxed and could feel a warmth and tingling up my spine, almost like waves. I felt a warmth in my lower back, and my pain felt better already! I’ll definitely come back to see Andrea again!

-M. VC

I decided to try Spinal Flow after finding Elevated Healing on Facebook. Ive had horrible neck and arm pain for over a year now and nothing worked. I’ve been to doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapy and nothing made the pain better. After the very first session I felt a huge difference in my neck - I could actually move it for the first time in months! I was stunned! I’ve been continuing my sessions with Andrea and she’s helped me understand my body, where my pain was coming from and how the stress in my life was contributing to my pain because my nervous system wasn’t working properly. As we’ve continued with treatment over these last few weeks, I feel completely different, my pain is hardly there and I’m finally getting the healing that I was searching for. I’ll keep up with Spinal Flow for good.

I had been following Dr. Carli Axford and Spinal Flow for quite a while on social media, wishing I could find someone who does Spinal Flow in my area. Then, one day I saw an ad that Elevated Healing would soon be opening in my city offering Spinal Flow Technique! I reached out immediately and Andrea responded right away. I asked her if she could see me and explained that I was in desperate need of help for my nervous system. Even though she was really busy and had a full schedule, she wanted to help and got me in for an appointment right away.

Wow, what a lady she is! Compassionate, understanding, and very comfortable to be around. She scheduled me in for several healing sessions right away.

I have been going through a lot of trauma in my life and had a recent separation from my husband. My nervous system was so shut down and my body and hands would shake. I have brain fog and anxiety and trauma. Just after the first treatment I could feel a shift. I felt I could breathe easier and relax more and that night I actually slept more than just a couple of hours.

I’ve had several sessions in a short time, and without Andrea and her help, I don’t know where I would be or how I’d deal with all my life’s recent changes. Unfortunately I had to move away due to my recent separation, and that breaks my heart, because I would have stayed and kept seeing Andrea for Spinal Flow treatments forever if I could.

So grateful for you Andrea.

-Niki Hall

I came to have Spinal Flow for self care. Andrea recognized right away that I was holding in my emotions and the effects that it was having on my body and wellbeing. After about a week or so of treatment, I released so much of that emotion that I was holding in. Andrea makes you feel comfortable and she allowed me to cry and release everything during several of my sessions; she makes you feel safe and that this is a safe place to release the emotions that I was holding inside. my sleep has also improved, as well as my hormone health and my cycles are now regular and not as painful.

Spinal Flow is amazing!

K.A.

I have struggled with digestive issues for my whole life. I wasn’t sure if spinal flow could help me, but after coming in to talk with Andrea, she explained how the spinal blockages I have in my spine were causing my digestive issues. I’ve had several sessions now over the last several weeks and I have noticed a HUGE difference in my digestion, and I can finally go to the bathroom regularly on my own! (something I haven’t been able to do for months without taking over the counter medication). I can’t believe the changes in my body already. I feel so much better - I can’t wait to continue and see what other healing is in store for me! Thank you Andrea!!

R. Knox

I came to have Spinal Flow treatment to try to reduce the pan in my back and hips and to heal my body after recovering from cancer. My first healing session was absolutely euphoric. I have never felt that weightless or ‘out of my body’. I could feel a pressure mounting in my shoulders & neck, it felt as if I had shrugged my shoulders, yet I knew I didn’t move. I felt sensations through my body that would move around. I loved the euphoric feeling during my healing session.

This experience has opened my mind and way of thinking that this could help my healing. It has given me hope.

Andrea has an excellent, calming presence. She made me feel comfortable and safe. I am a person who typically does not like to be touched, but I felt no stress over her touching my access points throughout the process. That was a nice feeling.

I will definitely continue with Andrea and Spinal Flow treatments!
