Personal Healing
"My life has changed dramatically"
"Dr. Satya took me from struggling, miserable, depressed, and wondering if I would have
to give up my dreams of being a teacher and a mom.
I was in so much pain and so miserable I didn't have very high hopes for the rest of my life. I am so so thankful every day that I took that chance to work with Dr. Satya.
Because of everything she taught me, my entire life has changed.
I'm thriving teaching full-time. All my pains are incredibly less. I'm no longer depressed. I have even had enough energy to add a new title to my life: single foster mom!
Because of Dr. Satya, not only has my life changed dramatically, but in just a few short years, she has helped me change the lives of so many other others: students, foster kids, and friends and family that I wouldn't have had as much energy for without everything she has done.
I'm so thankful for her impact in my life."

"NFFM has transformed how I move through life"
"Since starting NFFM, everything has shifted. The more I stay in my body, the more I can do everything I want to - and do it better.
There are no longer huge peaks and valleys in my emotional rollercoaster stress response. I've noticed my kids mirror me, too. When they spiral, I can hold my energy, and I see them come out of it faster because I'm grounded. It's been such a powerful change for our family.
The tools from NFFM are so easy to implement and bio-individual at their core, which I love. When I release my fascia, it's like I can finally breathe. It's like discovering a part of myself that's always been there, but I'm just now getting to know it. Ultimately, NFFM has transformed not just my body but how I move through life. It's empowering, sustainable, and incredibly special."
- Sarah Lax, CPM
Holistic Nutritionist + TRE Provider
"Wisdom that ripples hope to everyone it reaches."
"I had been researching recovery modalities for over a year, but with my creative background, I found scientific language around nervous system healing hard to absorb. Dr. Satya and Inside the Chrysalis gave me a way in.
I am shedding tears of relief finally having an answer to a question I have been seeking for years, since taking a breathwork course.
I could not understand why the pain & burning in my chest, throat and head kept recurring seemingly randomly.
Now I have a deep respect for my body’s attempt to protect me and gentle fascia release that actually helps.
This is gold dust... wisdom that ripples
hope to everyone it reaches."
- Anna B

"NFFM helped me feel a better flow inside myself"
"I couldn’t go on the way I was — I was feeling hopeless, and this was my last resort.
NFFM gave me a physical way out of the loop. I didn’t realize how much I was bracing — how that was constricting my breath, my movement, my thoughts... my life.
I’d been trying to fix depression and stress with mental solutions, but that wasn’t enough. NFFM helped me feel a better flow inside myself.
After just one day, I went from numb and disconnected to a flash of inspiration that had me writing out my entire business plan — and I’m
already sleeping without assistance for the
first time in years. This work is unlike
anything I’ve ever experienced."
- Karen P
chiropractor
"She has given me hope and helped me to gain more improvement"
"Before finding Dr. Satya, my life as I had known it no longer existed. My days consisted of all I couldn't do:
symptoms would flare and I had extreme pain doing anything more than walk, talk, sit, stand, and eat.
I was told I was 100% permanently disabled with a progressive injury that would only get worse.
Dr. Satya is very gifted: she is intuitive and skilled in many different techniques, beyond all the other doctors I've seen. She has given me hope and helped me to gain more improvement in one month than in the previous seventeen months.
I am truly blessed to have found her. To have such a wide range of skills and talent at such a young age is a rare gift indeed."
- Joanne Johnson
retired educator with CTE
"I am more resilient when life is stressful"
"I had suffered from near-constant migraines, severe neck pain, vertigo, tremors, and tinnitus. Over the last few years, I saw countless doctors and specialists.
Dr. Satya has been a godsend! Her accurate diagnosis finally gave me an explanation for my suffering!
Since working with her, my life has changed dramatically. I sleep better, am more resilient when life is stressful, and am able to focus better at work."
- Lynn B
business technology consultant
"The biggest impact has been my resilience"
"For a person to be able to help you move that energy and ground you… for me, it has made a profound difference. Dr. Satya just changed everything for me.
I feel a better sense of balance, both in my body and emotionally. I have more energy, less pain, and my mood has improved. My chiropractic adjustments have held longer.
The biggest impact has been my resilience: as I've hit the various stress points in my life, it has been easier from the time I’ve had with Dr. Satya."
- Deva V
mama w/ chronic pain + stress
"I can do the things I love again"
"I’ve had multiple head traumas and fractured my spine. At age 19 I found out I had CTE. I used to be in so much pain I couldn’t even get out of bed. I was constantly nauseous, throwing up, and had no quality of life. I couldn’t imagine ever working again. I couldn’t even leave my room. I was desperate for answers.
But since finding Dr. Satya and doing this NeuroFascial work, I rarely get headaches, and when I do, they’re manageable. I can go to concerts, walk for hours — things that take tons of energy.
I can do the things I love again.
This gave me my life back."
- Allyson A
ITC member with deep trauma and CTE
"I'm noticing when my nervous system starts to alarm"
"I've lived with constant pain for as long as I can remember. In my entire life, l've only been pain-free twice, and both were one-off events that didn't last. I have EDS, and after COVID my body just started falling apart. I had a Cl/C2 fusion, but my occiput still keeps going out in the same pattern. I've been stuck in 7-8 out of 10 pain, and even the meds stopped helping. Brain fog, masking constantly - it's exhausting.
But even early in this program, things are shifting. I'm noticing when my nervous system starts to alarm before it hits a 10 - that alone is huge - and for the first time, l actually know what to do to support myself.
After so many years of spiraling pain, this kind of awareness is already making a real difference.
- Amy W
coach with brain fog + chronic pain
"This work is helping me trust the unwinding"
"I've always been praised for my flexibility - but NFFM showed me it was mostly compensation and collapse, not true fluidity. The assessments revealed hidden rigidity, and now I feel like I'm melting from the inside out. I'm blown away by how different this flow feels from any full-body release I've experienced.
It's making me rethink everything - posture, stress, even how we teach movement. Instead of performing alignment, I'm re-patterning from within.
This work is helping me trust the unwinding - physically, mentally, emotionally.
Even my thoughts feel less habitual. It's shifting how I teach, connect, even how I wash dishes.
I can't stop talking about it."
- Deborah Adele
yoga teacher
"My pain is better, I’m able to do almost anything"
"I struggled with chronic low back pain for 8 years. I was so tired of being in pain and being limited in what I could do. I couldn’t go for hikes, longer walks were even challenging. The worst part was being so exhausted all the time from the pain. I tried chiropractors, massage, physical therapy and many other things. They either didn’t help at all or only helped temporarily. I was spending so much energy to manage this injury.
I started to see connections between injuries I'd had as a child and young adult that I had been compensating for my whole life. Doing the flow training helped me so much. My pain is better, physically I’m able to do almost anything I want to do without having a pain flare, and overall I am so much more resilient.
I am grateful to have found this!"
- Tiffany T
nurse + intuitive eating coach
"When I started, I couldn't even flex my biceps without pain. Within a week or two my left side is totally resolved, and my right side is almost there - it's night and day. I feel like a totally different person - standing tall, not hobbling around anymore."
- Mike C
small business owner
"I feel much more relaxed and happier than before. I feel more free with my body, not as cluttered and restricted like before. My life has definitely changed for the better because of it. I would recommend this training for someone trying to overcome chronic stress and to live a life more relaxed and freeing because life is too short to live it in constant stress."
- Jen D
game developer & hair stylist
"Oh my goodness, even that one 30 sec trick you taught completely eliminated my nagging neck tension…..I've spent countless $$$ and time getting massages only for the tension to keep returning. This training will keep saving me for a lifetime! This training is so worth the investment, thank you!"
- Katie G
mama and health enthusiast
"Less migraines means I can use less medication. The benefits are literally everything - better sleep, better relationships, more present, enjoy life more, less pain... Having control of this myself is literally priceless."
- Katherine G
mom
"Dr. Satya has a gift for seeing beyond the obvious exterior of things, which reveals great intuition. Thank you for sharing your passion about life, about health and about helping other people. Actually, helping people help themselves, I think that's the important difference between her and other doctors I've been to. She's really good at helping me to think about things from another angle, which has been of immense benefit to me."
- Johanna M
NICU nurse
"This work will help you heal issues with pain and improve your ability to heal yourself in the future. You will also be able to move through other challenges with more ease, have more body attunement (helps with intuitive eating) and be more focused in your work."
- Tiffany T
nurse and integrative coach
"I call this the "Save My Life Center"! Dr. Satya is not only a talented and gifted doctor, she is also deeply caring and committed to the well-being of her clients. She addresses all aspects of health: physical, emotional, and spiritual. I have felt nurtured and empowered by her gifts of healing. There is something very special happening here, and it goes beyond words. This is what true healing is all about. I am deeply grateful."
- Lynne B
real estate agent
"I’m in tune with my body in a whole new way. I have the tools to live a better life, and all honesty. With Dr. Satya’s support, I feel like my whole self is healing and not just physical symptoms. I’ve been on an unexpected journey to discover what it means to be living life and happy, and now I feel like I’m headed in a better direction as a whole person. I have the potential to be a healthy individual who gets to experience everything there is in life… And that makes me feel lucky that I found Dr. Satya!"

Professional Education & Mentorship
"The opportunity I have to create a practice now that really is sustainable and generous"
"I feel like every month that I'm in this program, it seems like a better deal and a better deal. This is so beyond worth it.
The opportunity I have to create a practice now that really is sustainable and generous - something I just didn't have before at all...
we get so many specific resources AND the lens for how to approach it. This is so different from any program or teacher/coach.
It would be hard to overstate how worth it the NFFM Facilitator program is for the tuition invested.
And I cannot even imagine the cost of NOT doing this... the cost of NOT having these global, holistic, anchoring tools and lenses
(it's ridiculous, and WAY more than the cost - in both money and time).
- Brigid Cullen Smith
NFFM® Certified / 2x cohort participant
"It's healing families, it's healing communities"
"I kept hitting my breaking point over and over with my health and my kids and at work... now I feel more myself and able to engage. And now my kids actually know the real ME (not the dysregulated version).
Being able to share this work with others, it's the best thing in the world. There's so much more play and joy and ease in our home.
Now I'm learning to facilitate NeuroFascial Flow professionally, and I feel so supported, my confidence is growing, and the retreat completely catapulted my identity as a healer into a new dimension.
Not to be too hyperbolic, but you're investing for the rest of your life: to enjoy it, to experience it, to live it. But then you get to do that for your clients. You're helping them get that for themselves. And you can't put a price tag on that because then it's that ripple effect.
It's then their kids, their colleagues. And it just will keep growing.
It's healing families, it's healing communities."
- Lisa Burbidge Campagna
NFFM® Facilitator / 2x cohort participant
"NeuroFascial Flow was that missing link."
"Before, I had this whole library of tools both individually & professionally, and I could see change when "doing the thing" but the second you stop,
you're back to that status quo. There was something missing to anchor it...
I thought it was another technique or practice, but
really NeuroFascial Flow was that missing link.
When I consider the tuition invested in the NFFM Facilitator program, it's just energy transfer... you initiate by putting a big energy transfer out into the world and then you draw it back to you in all these beautiful ways. It comes back through healing yourself, through clients, through speaking engagements or facilitating other retreats or whatever... it'll come and just flow back.
And it's not like another framework that you learn that you then have to spend energy to 'do'. It's something you do WITH yourself and actually GAIN energy from it. NFFM is not a 'doing'... it's a BEING."
- Jill Packham, RMT
massage therapist
"For me, a massive value has come from the connection of putting the pieces of personal development together: the mind, body, and spirit, to be able to honor myself at a higher level. And that's irreplaceable.
And then to be able to ripple that out to my clients, to my kids, to my family, to whoover you come in contact with...
You don't know what you say to somebody on the street, how that impacts them 10 years from now. And that value you can't put a dollar amount to."
- Kirby Denison
NLP business coach
"NeuroFascial Flow will save you SO much money for your own health in the long run and it'll give you a more comfortable life for longer. You'll be able to adopt in ways that crutches, pills, you know, quick fix programs, comfortable beds cannot get you...
Nervous system coherence and alignment is priceless - and it's unique to you. So what you already get out of the personal side is already a priceless thing.
And then to be able to do that for somebody else, your clients will value this work very highly. So you'll be GETTING a lot of money also. And that offsets the tuition cost anyway."
- Surya Sardonicus
Musician, Massage Therapist, NeuroSomatic Coach
"Before I saw your program, I was ready to leave chiropractic completely.
I was so burned out professionally I felt crispy - like the fascia equivalent of a burned bratwurst. Before I saw your program, my plan was to work anywhere, doing anything that wasn't chiropractic.
And now I have the glimmers of a new practice, not insurance based. One that nurtures me as well as creating a safe container for others. It's literally a lifeline.
And my current patients are getting the benefits of me talking about fascia and soothing the nervous system, so I learn to talk and teach it"
- Dr. Angela Hall, DC
chiropractor, 20 years in practice
"Dr. Satya’s Dural Fascial Kinetic Chain provides the
grounded, intelligent framework to apply the healing power of energetics"
"NeuroFascial Flow is a next-level implementation of healing practice to make lasting changes in life.
If you ever wanted to get more advanced in your energy work, but didn't want to depend entirely on the mysterious magic of “cosmic forces,”
Dr. Satya’s Dural Fascial Kinetic Chain provides the grounded, intelligent framework to apply the healing power of energetics.
Without a practitioner being expected to do all the work, NFFM is a liberating breath of fresh air. It is breakthrough to glimpse the subtle difference between receiving an adjustment and receiving the sacred impulse to self-heal... this work brings the two beautifully together..
- John Ohm
Managing Editor, Pathways to Family Wellness
"The NFFM paradigm just feels like coming home.
Dr. Satya is so amazing at giving context and framework to everything I have experienced over decades in a concise, eloquent way.
And because I don't come to it from the academic background, I’ve been so impressed and excited that she has translated what we do with the energy and how we listen to the system... as this is the next level of where practitioners really, really need to be."
- Allecia Maine, PhD
Animal Communicator + Energy Medicine Researcher
"I feel quite comfortable leading clients through their own hands-on NFFM release and practices.
The NFFM certification comes at a good time for me as I shift to more on-on-one work. I was surprised how much subtle information I was able to pick up despite not typically using this approach.
Seeing how "little" I can do and still be effective makes me feel much more confident in my "bigger" or more targeted offerings!"
- Olivia Jimenez
C-IAYT Yoga Therapist
"I felt like I came full circle at this retreat. I came in afraid — I had given everything to my work and burned out hard. I needed rest and felt guilty about it.
This retreat helped me understand that rest wasn’t failure — it was necessary. I have felt a great sense of companionship, which I'd lost a lot of when I became ill and haven't had a lot of that anymore... so it's felt really good to connect with everyone here.
What felt like a scattered puzzle in my mind is now forming edges. I can finally see what I’m building."
- Kim Komar, NASM CPT, GPT
Health Coach
"I’m feeling more regulated, more in alignment, flow, balance… passionate about life and my work again (not dreading a work day) and I get to guide someone else through a process that is gentle and grounded, rewarding, and purposeful.
It’s exciting, feeling more expansive and free, with more time left in my schedule to feel like me at the end of the day and in my time off.
I’ve always known my own healing journey would one day be part of my qualifications and this helps me integrate all of that.
And I see pricing and value differently now, where it’s about helping clients value themselves and their own transformation + healing (my value isn’t the debate)."
- Mary Burt
Pilates Instructor, NFFM® Certification 2025 Cohort
"The neurofascial component was amazing, but what stood out to me most was the integration. Dr. Satya has a truly beautiful way of bringing together eclectic knowledge from so many areas and presenting it in a way that makes sense and respects the body as a whole.
She helped me connect everything I’ve learned from various sources into a cohesive framework, where no piece is separate from the others."
- Christine Smith, DC, PAK, BHP
Functional Medicine Practitioner
"I don’t think I’d be half the healer I am without Dr. Satya’s guidance. She’s taught me to see things so clearly, and that’s changed how I approach every patient I work with.
When I started working with her, I was fresh out of school and so nervous. I doubted myself constantly — how could I help these complex patients when I was so new?
Dr. Satya helped me see that it’s not just about technical skills. She showed me how to focus on shifting the nervous system out of alarm mode and into healing mode. That’s when I started seeing real, measurable progress with patients, even as I was still refining my skills.
She gave me the clarity and confidence I needed — not just in my work, but in myself. If you’re ready to
grow as a healer and feel aligned in your practice, I can’t recommend her enough."
- Dr. Danielle Ayres
NFFM® Chiropractic Apprentice
"I’ve tried creating packages before but nobody ever signed up. I’ve been a massage and craniosacral therapist, health coach blending art therapy, nutrition, and spirit practices, yoga teacher, so many beautiful ways of healing... for nearly 40 years.
This is the first time I finally feel it all coming together into a cohesive offering. I’ve already signed up 2 new clients for my brand-new NFFM-infused 12-week care offering, and 2 more scheduled for discovery consults.
This is changing everything for me, even my relationship to money and value is deepening and I’m living with greater trust in flow."
- Grace Ventura, LMT, CST
Certified NFFM® Practitioner
"The NFFM Certification has taught me more than I ever learned in school as a practitioner.
Its lessons are invaluable, no matter where you are in your journey. Every single topic deepens my understanding of client care, and even my own self-care as a practitioner, in profound ways.
Dr. Satya radiates love and dedication, generously investing time in every member
of the cohort. She is truly a treasure to the healthcare profession, and her teachings are essential for everyone."
- Dr. Leo Cheung
Chiropractor, NFFM® Certification Founding Cohort
"If you’re ready to take your practice to the next level with a method that transforms both your patients’ lives & your own, I highly recommend working with Dr. Satya.
After school, I was completely burned out — stuck in sympathetic overdrive with no periods, constant headaches, and poor digestion. Chronic stress had wrecked my body, and I didn’t know how to move forward in my career.
I learned how to apply NFFM to deliver deeper results for my patients while creating a sustainable, aligned approach to care.
Her guidance gave me clarity, systems, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, I feel confident supporting my patients and inspired by the work I do."
- Dr. Mandy Marziaz
Chiropractor + Massage Therapist
"As a PA practicing medicine for over 10 years, I thought I understood the sympathetic response. Dr. Satya helped me recognize when I was in that state myself — which has been huge. Now, with NFFM, I give patients short, effective tools that they literally feel in their body...we’re getting the ball rolling in a valuable way. "
- Valerie C
PA + health coach
"I had this database of disparate knowledge, and NFFM has put it all together in a really simple way. Everything else that I learn from here on out I will be putting into this framework. The scientific justification feels like all the momentum is pushing me in the right direction."
- Daria H
LMT
"I’ve been in practice for 16 years, and every class I’ve taken with Dr. Satya Sardonicus has been truly transformative. I’ve gained tools and insights that make incorporating all my existing methods into my practice so much easier. Not only have they made my work more efficient, but I’m already seeing better results with my patients. Dr. Satya has a unique ability to connect with people and help practitioners take their skills to the next level. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn from her."
- Deanne E
chiropractor
"The impact she’s had on my life and career is huge. Her seminar is the absolute best I have ever done. Dr. Satya is a bridge between science and healing, and I use what she taught me every time I’m with a patient."

Speaking
"Dr. Satya has an incredible gift for breaking down complex concepts into actionable insights"
"As a healer, teacher, and speaker, Dr. Satya embodies a rare combination of expertise, compassion, and inspiration. Her knowledge of healthcare is unparalleled, and she brings a unique, holistic approach to each treatment, addressing not just the symptoms but the root causes of discomfort.
What truly sets her apart is her ability to educate and inspire others, whether one-on-one or speaking to a room full of practitioners. Her passion for teaching is evident, and she has an incredible gift for breaking down complex concepts into actionable insights that empower others to grow in their practice.
Dr. Satya doesn't just heal bodies - she transforms lives, imparting wisdom that lasts long after the session or seminar has ended."
- Dr. Linda Slak, CACCP, CABCDD
Slak Institute for Pediatric Postgraduate Studies
"Dr. Satya Sardonicus is one of the brightest minds in our profession, and we were dang lucky to have her back again for an ICPA event.
Her entire approach to healing and resilience starts from deep personal experience and blossoms into experiential techniques I already used this week in practice."
- Dr. John Edwards, DC, DACCP
International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association|
"Dr. Satya is a deeply sensitive individual, able to tune into what is happening in her patient's body in a way l've rarely experienced.
Her clinical competence is remarkable, and
deeply informs her teaching style.
She is so full of useful information that it practically sees out of her pores, and her thoughtful intelligence permits everything she passes on to her students. It's really easy to feel confident doing what she teaches because she has done the research."
- Dr. Sam Zoranovich
Chiropractor + Craniosacral Therapist|
"Dr. Satya is one of the most motivated and brilliant women in our profession.
She successfully blends elements of research on anatomy and neurology, clinical experience, and personal experience in a way that brings power and immediate applicability to everything she does."
- Amy Haas, PhD, DC
Path of Life Chiropractic Center
"One of the most eye-opening trainings I’ve ever attended"
"NeuroFascial Flow Integration was one of the most eye-opening trainings I’ve ever attended.
Dr. Satya dives deep into the role the fascia plays in the body and nervous system.
She shows you how to ease your patients into a more parasympathetic mode first (before trying to navigate through your adjusting).
I’ve attended this training three times so far, and each time I unraveled more information."
- Dr. Garrett Funderburg
Pediatric + Family Chiropractor
"Dr. Satya Sardonicus has a wonderful ability to turn complex neurologically-based matters into not only easy to understand but also highly applicable tools for chiropractors in practice.
She is a wonderful presenter and educator.
Her personal story of overcoming challenges by utilizing what she teaches is truly inspiring."
- Dr. Billy Chow
Vice Pres. Australian Spinal Research Foundation
"You made it very clear, and if you said anything I didn't recognize, then with context within a few minutes I did understand! The scientific justification feels like all the momentum is moving me in the right direction."
- Stephanie Magoulas
Holistic Health Coach
"Dr. Satya inspires me with her dedication to her clinical artistry, to teaching, and most importantly the caregiving freely to those around her. She reaches for what lies beyond our grasp as humans. The insights, the glimpses into truth, and the expressions of the gifts we have all been given are remarkable."
- Dale Johnson, PhD
