Dr Trevor Petersen

Dr Trevor Petersen I’m a licensed chiropractor and certified NetworkSpinal practitioner.

I use NetworkSpinal, massage, and Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI) breathwork to help the body release stored stress and trauma.

Her arm lifted off the table before I even touched her spine. That’s the part people miss when they picture chiropractic. 🌿

In NetworkSpinal we learn something counterintuitive: force and presence are inverse. The less force I bring, the more room your own nervous system has to rise and meet the moment itself.

Force is the gym — push, load, build. Presence is different. Presence is stillness. It’s trusting the intelligence already running your system to reorganize its own tension, on its own timing, not mine.

Most people still picture chiropractic as a snap-your-neck kind of force. This isn’t that. My job is to get quiet and specific enough that your body does the real work — because it already knows how. Brain, body, one connection, listening to itself.

The more present I can be, the more that innate power in you gets to lead.

So — how do you know when you’re moving with your body versus pushing against it? What does that tension feel like right before it lets go?

Table set up under the trees at the lake, and one person after another laying down and letting their system finally take a breath.
That’s the part that gets me every time. Someone comes over carrying a whole week in their shoulders, I make contact on the spine, and within a few minutes their breath drops lower than it’s been in days. I’m not forcing anything to happen. I’m just holding space while their body remembers what it already knows how to do.
Your body is infinitely intelligent. My job is to help it hear itself again.
I’m at Heirloom Wellness Studio in Oakland on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Link in my profile to book an initial visit or a free discovery call if you want to talk first.

NetworkSpinal isn’t me cracking your spine or forcing anything into place. I want to be really clear about that, because I know that’s what people picture when they hear “chiropractor.” 🌿

It’s not that at all.

I make contact on the spine — and then I observe. Your breath does most of the talking. Your own energy, your own movement, starts to open things up on its own.

What gets me every time is watching someone’s body figure it out without me pushing anything. I’m not fixing you. I’m holding space long enough for your nervous system to remember it’s safe to let go.

That’s when the real shift happens — more energy, more breath, more of you coming back online.

This is Blossom & Evolve. 🙏

The nervous system doesn’t need a room. It needs safety. 🌿
This is what a session can look like — open sky, ocean at the back, a tree that’s been rooted longer than either of us.
NetworkSpinal doesn’t force. It listens. It asks your body what it’s been holding — and offers it permission to let go.
Some of the deepest releases I’ve witnessed happened outside, in the quiet, where there was finally enough space to exhale.
I bring the table to you. 🌊
If something in you says “I think I need this” — trust that. Link in bio.
