Welcome to Transform Austin!
WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU FEEL AND FUNCTION BETTER, AND TO LIVE AND EXPRESS MORE FULLY THROUGH THE WISDOM OF YOUR BODY.
NETWORKSPINAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Your spine functions as the central modulator of posture, perceptions, movement,
your emotions, and your sense
of self.
THERE IS MORE AVAILABLE
TO YOU IN YOUR HEALING THAN YOU MAY KNOW
Your body was designed to be self-healing and self-correcting. The stress and pressure of modern life (old trauma, prolonged sitting, constantly rushing, stressful relationships, and environmental toxins) is stored as tension in the body. These tension patterns distort and diminish your body's ability to be adaptable and resilient.
Our goal at this office is to help you create lasting changes in the way your body feels and functions.
NetworkSpinal Chiropractic Care is a precise clinical system that unwinds tension patterns that have been built up and stored in your spine and nervous system. It involves light touches (no "popping or cracking") to enhance your brain-body connection and re-awaken your inborn healing capacity.
As your body unwinds tension and reconnects to itself, new and healthier strategies for handling everyday stresses (big and small) emerge. You will have the capacity to get unstuck, to heal beyond where you were before, and to experience new levels of well-being and life expression.
Our goal is for you to organically cultivate more awareness and connection to your body and your emotions.
Many people report having more energy, sleeping better, feeling a more full range of emotions, having improved decision-making, experiencing less pain, and much more. We are excited to work with you and to help you along your journey to better health.
We like to say: it's not about your back,
it's about your life!
"Healing is an awakened, embodied experience."

Why We're Different
Individualized Chiropractic Care Plans
Healing is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Your care at this office is individually tailored to your health goals, your specific needs and your body's unique healing rhythms. With regular appointments, Dr. Stephanie gets to know your spine really well, and she can serve you better this way. NetworkSpinal chiropractic is designed to meet the needs of each individual, with the goal of uplifting humanity as a whole, one spine at a time.
Trauma Informed Practice
Trauma that has not been processed or healed is stored in the body as tension (which is largely unconscious). When our body is locked in the past, it is much harder to be present for what’s beautiful and true in our lives now. Dr. Stephanie has taken extra training to learn about how the spine and nervous system is impacted by trauma, and to ensure that you feel supported on your journey, no matter what you've been through or are currently going through. Our first priority is that you feel safe, and our office practices & procedures, and our healing approach help you cultivate a felt sense of safety in yourself, through your body. With a felt sense of physiological safety and connection to your body, so much more feeling and healing can open up before you that was not previously available to you.
A Calm Environment for Healing
We want your time at our office to be quality time with yourself; a time to really check in. We offer a quiet and calm environment for you to be able to relax and focus on your body and your healing, without having to worry about the stresses of your day. A body that is in defense or fight-or-flight cannot heal. A relaxed body and present mind will take you places!
Education and Workshops
We offer classes and workshops for your ongoing education. During these classes you will have the opporutnity to be inspired about your healing, to learn more about NetworkSpinal care, to ask questions, and to meet other practice members who are also on their healing journeys. We want this to be a place where you can learn, heal, and grow in community.
