How Do You Wake Up?
When you wake up in the morning do you feel energized and grateful that you are living the life of your dreams? Do you feel inspired to give your gifts in service to humanity? Are you ready to do whatever it takes to make the changes in your life that you are so ready to make and release the patterns that no longer serve you? Or do you feel tired and worn out, lacking excitement for the day ahead? Do you feel burdened by stress, stuck and unable to move forward in your life?
When we have trauma that is stored in our bodies our posture goes into one of defense, or fight or flight. Life then becomes about survival. Most people are functioning at high level of tension and have this defensive physiology. This not only leads to pain and physical dysfunction, but it creates an energy of being stuck in your life, inability to make healthy choices and have passion for life. We feel disconnected, exhausted and see the coming day as something just to make it through.
At Soulwave Chiropractic Studio we teach the body evolved strategies to transform old trauma and tension into energy. As a result, the posture effortlessly shifts into one of ease and the brain is activated in a new way. We then not only experience more ease in our physical bodies, but we are also more inspired to make the changes that will support us in living the life of our dreams. We are more emotionally available and connected, are able to experience passion for life and be confident and empowered. The armoring that has been weighing us down and is destabalized and we are able to wake up feeling excited for life and the endless possibilities that it holds. We are more able to drop into feelings of gratitude, compassion and joy and have a greater sense of being while we are doing. We see life and all that it brings as an opportunity instead of a problem and look forward to the day ahead. Are you ready to wake up in this way? If so, come see us at Soulwave Chiropractic Studio. We are honored and excited to serve you!
Are You Tired of Being Stuck?
Does it ever feel like you are living in that movie “Groundhog Day”, where you wake up and have to live the same day over and over? Do you feel stuck in your body- unable to shift the pain or tension that you feel? Are you stuck financially- unable to move forward and create your dream career? Are you stuck emotionally- unable to feel and embrace those emotions that create momentum, help you take your power back and finally make the changes that you are so ready for?
So many of us feel trapped in a life that is less than our deepest hearts desire and feel powerless to do anything about it. When you have past and present physical, emotional and chemical trauma stored in your body, your posture goes into one of defense and your nervous system is operating in survival mode only. You are then less able to dream out of the box and see the limitless possibilities that life has to offer. You are less able to effectively unwind tension and feel those emotions that create action and the ability to make positive change in your life. You remain stuck in your body, in your life and cannot move forward.
This is exhausting!! It actually takes way more energy to stay stuck than it does to take action and create your most amazing life. At Soulwave Chiropractic, we teach the body how to transform the old physical, emotional and chemical trauma into energy so it is available for you to finally step up and break out of the box you have been living in and say “Enough of this!”. Through Network Care the defensive posturing becomes one of ease, activating the parts of the brain that help you make healthy choices and live your life in an empowered and passionate way. AND… as a result pain goes away, and you feel more free and flexible in your body then ever before. Most people think, “once I am out of pain I will make the change I know I need to make”. Not true!! If you make the change, your body will respond, as pain is always the messenger reminding you that you are ready to play more full out in life.
At the last Network training I was at, my teacher asked us the question: “Are you the hero in your life and in the lives of those around you?” Such a great question. In my opinion, we should never settle for anything less….
What People Are Saying!
Dr. Erin Pollinger at Soulwave Chiropractic is a gifted healing facilitator. I highly recommend her and the services she offers to anyone on their own healing journey. Her kind heart, encouraging words, and gentle adjustments have assisted my body in making deep, lasting changes on all levels. I noticed positive shifts after my very first session. Every time I leave her beautiful, soothing healing space I feel better. My body has been fully supported in releasing old energies I had no idea I was holding onto so tightly. What a joyful relief to feel layers of old pain peeling away so effortlessly. Results occurred more swiftly than I would have thought possible. She truly cares about every person who comes through her door, which is refreshing these days. I look forward to continuing with this powerful work, for each session brings me closer to my whole, healthy self!

Receiving Network Chiropractic care from Dr. Erin has been pivotal in helping me clear emotional and energetic blocks throughout my awakening/spiritual growth process. It is truly amazing the way Dr. Erin helps me release and clear old patterns from my system, patterns that I used to think were part of “me.” What a beautiful, refreshing experience to have old sadness and pain transform into fresh new energy! In addition to this energetic clearing, Dr. Erin’s Network care has also helped my physical body become more healthy, trim, and all the old pain in my back is now gone.
I am profoundly blessed to have been working with Erin for so many years; having her here in this valley is a true gift to those of us lucky enough to know her.

In doing Network Chiropractic with Dr. Erin we have a greater sense of ease in our bodies. We’re both able to do things now that in the past would have given us trouble – back problems, etc. The areas of tension in our necks, shoulders, upper and lower back, are gone and we are more supple and aligned. We can’t recommend Dr. Erin enough. She’s a Godsend and an angel. The initial investment of time and money are a great investment toward one’s health and well-being.”

I came to see Dr. Erin after I had been seeing my chiropractor for many months for my condition. I had also tried massage and physical therapy but was still in pain.. Today I am pain free 90% of the time and I am so grateful to Dr. Erin for her personable, professional approach. I would highly recommend NSA to anyone that feels stuck in their journey towards good health and well being.

What Season Are You In?
Just as we have seasons in nature, we have seasons in our lives.
At Soulwave Chiropractic Studio we offer Network Care, which consists of Network Spinal Analysis and The 12 Stages of Healing. Within the 12 Stages there are 4 Seasons and as you progress through Network Care you move through these Seasons. In which Season do you spend the most time(be honest!) and in which Season do you want to spend more time in?
Season of Discover- in this Season, we feel hopeless, disconnected, and like nothing is working. We may feel like we will always be alone and have to do it ourselves. We tend to blame others for our circumstance, experience judgement, and get easily triggered. We want to magic genie to come along and get rid of our pain and symptoms and fix us. We feel stuck in our bodies and in our lives and are frustrated that we have tried so hard but have not made the breakthroughs yet.
Season of Transform- in this Season we may experience anger at first and say “enough of this!”. We harness our power, passion and courage to say “I deserve more than this!” We realize that we have created stories and rules for ourselves that may not be true and are ready to do whatever it takes to finally unhook from the old thoughts, patterns, behaviors, and ways of being that no longer serve us. We understand that symptoms and pain are our bodies way of saying that we must do something different, now!
Season of Awaken- in the beginning we may experience a sense of emptiness, but we trust it and know it is where we need to be. We are acutely aware of our connection with others and feel gratitude for all of the beauty in life. We know what our gifts are and have a deep desire to give these gifts in service of humanity. There is a sense of effortlessness in life and it is easy to drop into “being” rather than “doing.” We understand that everything in our lives is a blessing and that we are each others medicine.
Season of Integrate- in this Season we understand how to weave the energies of the first 3 Seasons. We may be in intense suffering and grateful at the same time and know that this too is a gift. We are able to bring more “being” into our busy lives of “doing” and be productive with more effortlessness. We have an awareness and ability to access the energy from other Seasons, which creates more freedom in our lives.
When we have tension and trauma in our bodies it is harder to access the Season or Seasons that we want to spend more time in. Network Care helps you connect to your body, transform trauma into energy, and experience all of the Seasons so that you have a choice about which Season you want to be living from!

Did You Know…
-that the founder of Chiropractic, D.D. Palmer was a magnetic healer who said that his purpose for starting the chiropractic profession was “to unite man the physical to man the spiritual”?
-that Chiropractic is more about healing the nervous system, which is your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves that connect to every muscle, organ and tissue, than it is about putting bones back into place?
-that Reorganizational Healing helps you move way beyond where you were before the pain or symptom. Most healing is Restorative, meaning the goal is to get you back to where you were before the pain or symptom.
– that through Network Spinal Analysis your spine can actually learn how to self adjust and self correct in response to stress?
– that old physical, emotional, and chemical traumas can be transformed into energy that can then be used for healing and evolution?
– that the greater you were wounded in life, the bigger the gifts that you have to give are?
– that changing the shape, position, tension and tone of your spine changes the shape, position, tension and tone of your life?
– that when our nervous system is healthy and free of tension we can make the changes in our lives that we know we need to make EFFORTLESSLY?
-that all physical symtoms are messangers saying “Stop! Pay Attention! Do Something Different!” Symptoms often hang around until we truly make the change that we know we need to make. If we look at symptoms as inconvenient obstacles that need to be eliminated, they will often stay the same or get worse. What we resist persists.
-that healing does not always mean feeling better. We are healing when we can feel what we could not feel before and acknowledge and accept those parts of ourselves.
-that when our nervous systems reorganize, our posture changes, which changes the ideas and stories about who we are in the world and helps us live according to our deepest soul’s purpose, rather than what we have learned from our cultural conditioning?
