About

Hi, I'm Tina and I believe your body already holds the blueprint to ease symptoms... and it’s just waiting for the right nudge.

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re looking for something more than just symptom relief.

Maybe you’ve tried all the things.  Maybe you’ve been told “it’s just stress,” or “you’ll have to live with it.”
Or maybe — deep down — you know your body is trying to speak to you.

That’s where my work begins.

I’m the founder of Akiki Spinal Flow, a gentle, hands-on therapy practice based on the Sunshine Coast.  I help people like you reconnect with their nervous systems, release stress and tension, and rediscover their body’s natural rhythm.

To me the name “Akiki” also means life force and that’s what I’m most passionate about – creating space for your life force to move freely again.

My Story

Before I discovered Spinal Flow Therapy, I was searching too – for something that addressed the root of stress and pain, not just the surface symptoms.

When I experienced the effects of this gentle, intuitive work for myself, I knew I had found something deeply powerful – and profoundly needed.

I trained in the Spinal Flow Technique because I saw how it transformed not just bodies, but lives.  It’s become the foundation of the healing space I hold today.

A Whole-Body, Whole-Life Approach

I work with the spine and nervous system because they’re the gateways to everything – your immune system, your energy, your emotions, even your digestion.

When these systems are under pressure, you feel it.  In your body.  In your mind.  In your day-to-day life.

Through gentle contact points, we invite your body out of stress and into safety, healing and flow.

It’s not about “fixing.”  It’s about reminding your body of what it already knows how to do.

Beyond the Table

My passion for whole-body healing led me to study cellular activation – the science of switching on the body’s internal healing pathways at the root level.

This is how Generative Life was born – the broader umbrella of my work, weaving together both hands-on therapy and science-backed internal support.

Because true healing isn’t just about how you feel in one session.  It’s about restoring vitality from the inside out.
