The Retune Pathway
A 6-Step Journey to Liberate, Energize, and Transform
What is Spinal Flow?
Spinal Flow Technique is a fast, effective way to heal from pain, dis‑ease, and illness. Founded by Dr. Carli Axford, it’s rooted in the science of the spine and nervous system. Practitioners utilize the 7 Gateways of the spine to assess and the 33 Access Points to work through the nervous system, expanding the Spinal Wave from coccyx to cranium to release blockages caused by chemical, physical, or emotional stress. The spine and nervous system are the body’s master controllers, yet stress can interrupt healthy message flow along the nerves to organs. Certified Spinal Flow practitioners assess each of the spine’s 33 vertebrae for blockages and use specific access point contacts to initiate the Spinal Wave and release those blocks.
What is Compassion Renewal?
The Compassion Renewal Approach is a trauma‑informed, heart‑centered conversation process that helps uncover emotional patterns and beliefs stored beneath the surface of mind and body. Rooted in Dr. Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry and combined with my intuitive guidance, the session invites you to slow down, feel deeply, and listen to the wisdom your body has been holding. Through compassionate questioning and somatic awareness, you begin to understand root causes behind stress, pain, or triggers, release self‑judgment and people‑pleasing, reconnect with sensations as messages, cultivate emotional safety, and experience renewed peace, clarity, and alignment. Each session follows your present‑moment experience. We explore not to fix, but to understand, allowing healing to arise naturally from within.
Why I Built the Retune Pathway
Most people chase symptoms and miss what the body is actually broadcasting. Pain, tension, fatigue, and anxiety aren’t random—they’re messages from a nervous system out of rhythm. I saw it in myself and in clients who had tried everything. When I shifted to a nervous system-first approach, everything changed fast.
At Kusalaflow, I created the Retune Pathway: a 6-step method that maps posture, opens spinal gateways, and releases stored stress. Using Spinal Flow, breathwork, sound, and Compassion Renewal, we reawaken the body’s self-healing intelligence so ease returns naturally.
Clients arrive tense, foggy, and in pain. They leave grounded, open, breathing deeper, with pain dialed down and sleep improving. True healing doesn’t come from force—it comes from letting the body lead.

As gateways open, life force moves. Healing intelligence switches on, bringing coherence, vitality, and ease.

The 7 Gateways of the Spine
Each of the seven gateways corresponds to specific areas of the spine and life experiences. These gateways hold stories and stress patterns that reflect what the body has been through.
By connecting through these gateways, practitioners help clients release old stress and access new levels of wellbeing. Each gateway plays a unique role in restoring the natural rhythm of the body.
