Life Changing Spinal Care

Auckland | Northland
Welcome to Well & Wild. We provide expert spinal care that addresses your physical, mental, and emotional well-being simultaneously. We specialise in the improvement of stress-related health concerns and offer you healing and recovery from the negative impact of life's stress and trauma. At Well & Wild we accept that stress is a part of life. Rather than trying to reduce stress or eliminate it by making life smaller, we help you use stress for healing and to grow with life. Our gentle healing work is focused on you and what you have endured in your life. We assess how your spine and nervous system have adapted to the stresses in your life so far, and we work with your nervous system as the primary means of creating change. Our healing sessions help you safely and effortlessly release tension, stress, and trauma that's otherwise stored and maintained in your body through protective patterns of your spine. With Well & Wild care you develop new strategies in your nervous system to respond to life's demands with greater ease, awareness, and empowerment. Living life to the full and opening to more of life's depth, meaning, and purpose is the essence of becoming well and wild! Each Well & WIld healing session builds upon previous ones in a progressive manner. Initially you can breathe easier, sleep better, and think more clearly while improving your nervous system's capacity for resilience. As clearer pathways of brain-body communication are achieved you begin to see the connections and relationships between what's happening in your body (including pain or symptoms) and what's happening in your life. This expanding awareness empowers you to further heal, change, and grow. Click here to start your Well & Wild healing journey today.

Our Story Over 20 Years of Well & Wild Healing Magic!

Our story began in 2005 when we joined our two individual Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) chiropractic practices (previously called WellWellWell and WildGirl Wellness) to form WELL & WILD. We are a husband-and-wife team who love working together and combining our individual strengths, gifts, and expertise to provide our clients with the best care possible. We enjoy taking care of people of all ages from newborn babies to retirees. We both practiced as licensed chiropractors for nearly two decades, before organically transitioning into what is now our own uniquely positioned wellness and healing practice. Our healing work has developed and evolved over the years through our background and formal education in Chiropractic, and as fully certified practitioners of Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) care. We work gently with areas around your spine but we do not provide chiropractic adjustments or spinal manipulation. We do not treat pain, injuries, or health conditions directly and do not accept ACC. As a result, we no longer work as licensed chiropractors. We practice exclusively as facilitators of your personal healing and the development of embodied healing strategies for your spine, your nervous system, and your life. We have published three peer-reviewed clinical case studies in two different scientific journals. These studies are available to read on our website for some background information on our techniques, and to highlight some of the healing and wellness outcomes of our care. We enjoy a fulfilling life living between Doubtless Bay in the Far North and Auckland’s North-Shore. Our services range from embodied healing sessions in our Milford clinic to luxury stays in our exclusive private care healing retreat in Doubtless Bay. Chris and Lisa Lucks, healing facilitators

Entrainment and rhythmic oscillation of your spinal, respiratory, and heart rhythms creates an internal reference point to safety in your body that becomes embedded into your neurological wiring. This becomes a new baseline for perceiving and processing your inner and outer world.

Anxiety often results when your body is stuck in a chronic or repetitive pattern of stress physiology. This is an inner state of distress that continually runs through your body and affects your digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, hormonal, muscular, and other systems. It's controlled and regulated by your nervous system...

Negative thoughts are a symptom of anxiety, not the cause of it. Positive thinking is not the answer to reducing anxiety. Positive thinking or affirmations might temporarily distract you from the painful emotions that are trying to be expressed, but it will never result in healing or lasting peace...

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Network Spinal care?

Network Spinal care (formerly Network Spinal Analysis) is a unique approach to healing that focuses on enhancing your brain-body communication through your nervous system. Well & Wild in Auckland offers this gentle and effective technique, which involves light touches around your spine to help your body release stored tension, improve energy flow, and adapt to stress more effectively. It promotes physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Does Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) really work?

Yes, Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is an evidence-based approach to wellness and body awareness. It is a proven method to enhance overall health, well-being, and quality of life. Our clients in Auckland have experienced a greater sense of inner connection and ease, deeper breathing, reduced anxiety, improved sleep, improved posture, heightened awareness, and many personal and life changes through our spinal care sessions.

What is the difference between a Network Spinal healing facilitator and a Chiropractor?

While both professions work with the spine, a chiropractor typically uses spinal adjustments to correct vertebral subluxations or joint manipulation to treat conditions, injuries, and pain. At Well & Wild, as spinal healing facilitators, we use specific light touch contacts to areas around your spine to promote natural healing mechanisms from within you. Our expert spinal care produces incredible health and well-being outcomes while supporting personal growth and life changes.

Is Network Spinal care safe?

Yes, Network Spinal care is completely safe. Well & Wild provides gentle, non-invasive spinal care in Auckland that supports your body’s innate healing ability. This approach is suitable for all ages, including children and seniors, as it creates a state of ease and balance within you.
