In this first episode, we properly introduce ourselves. Makayla is a Spinal Flow practitioner and founder of Metanoia Spinal Flow on the Darling Downs. Stacey is the founder of Embrace Spinal Flow and a Spinal Flow practitioner on the Sunshine Coast. We're girlfriends, colleagues, and two women who found Spinal Flow through our own healing journeys long before it became our work.

We share how each of us found Spinal Flow, what it changed, and why it became more than a technique to us. And we begin the conversation this whole podcast is built on: stress. Not the buzzword version, but what actually happens when a woman carries years of it. Stress doesn't just live in your head. It creates blockages along the spine that interrupt how your whole body communicates with itself, and it shows up in your sleep, your patience, your relationships, your sense of who you are.

Remembering Home is about exactly that: finding your way back to your own body.

In this episode:

• Who we are and how we found each other
• Our own experiences of discovering Spinal Flow and what it means to us
• What stress really is and where it lives in the body
• Why blockages in the spine affect far more than your back
• What "remembering home" means when home is your own body
