About Kirsty

Connection. Authenticity. Presence.

My name is Kirsty Saunders. I facilitate body-led connection as a Senior Spinal Energetics Practitioner and Retreat Facilitator.

With over 15 years in public health across Australia and the UK and a Bachelor of Health Promotion, I bring a grounded foundation to my work. I am a Senior Spinal Energetics Practitioner (Level 1 & 2), Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioner, and Yoga teacher (since 2012). My approach also draws on Reiki (since 2017), meditation, pranayama, aromatherapy, and timeline healing.

At the heart of my practice is Spinal Energetics, a body-led modality that works directly with the energetic field — the literal extension of your physical body — alongside the fascia of the body using light or no touch. Having recently completed training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, I may weave elements of this into sessions where it feels aligned and body-led, always guided by your system’s needs.

I work with those who are feeling overwhelmed, fragmented, or disconnected — often from grief, trauma, stress, or major life transitions. My work is founded in profound presence — the kind that creates deep safety and witnessing. When you feel truly held without pressure to be fixed, your nervous system can relax, trust can open, and inner shifts become possible. Within this shared awareness, stored tension and old experiences are safely processed, integrated, and unwound — including through timeline healing, gently accessing stored experiences across the lifespan so you can reconnect with the wisdom held in your body. This allows your system to return to its natural rhythm and truest alignment.

Whether in 1:1 sessions or group immersions, my role is to meet you exactly where you’re at. By inviting your body to feel safe, your system can naturally begin remembering who you are, anchoring a deep sense of belonging within yourself and your place within the world.

Our inner landscape and its deep connection to wider nature — held within cycles, seasons, and the body’s innate wisdom.

For the past six years, I have facilitated immersive women’s retreats in Kinglake, and other locations. These weekends are a sacred container for deep connection to self, to others, and to nature — combining energetics, movement, and heartfelt presence.

I offer 1:1 Spinal Energetics sessions (which may include Biodynamic Craniosacral elements when guided by your body) in Richmond at Spinal Energetics HQ and in Seaford in my dedicated healing space. I also facilitate monthly Rest & Restore classes — a speciality that combines gentle Spinal Energetics, craniosacral techniques, restorative yoga, aromatherapy and sound — along with group Spinal Energetics sessions and other immersive group experiences.
