Notice of Intent
I, , understand that although Lawrence Conlan holds a chiropractic degree, he is
not serving in the capacity of his chiropractic degree. He is not presenting himself as practicing
Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Psychotherapy, or Medicine.
Lawrence has been certified in the practice of Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), Level I, Level II, and
Level III, and will offer most of his professional care in this capacity.
I also understand that although significant health benefits are common in NSA care, I will be
responsible, with Lawrence’s help, to assess myself as to health and wellness benefits.
I understand that I am not being treated for any specific condition, but rather being offered a body
centered method of education, primarily in the form of NSA. The care in this office is not meant to
replace the care or therapy of any other profession. I consent to be attended to and touched for
the purpose of evaluation and care.
Lawrence's “practice” primarily consists of coaching in the areas of wellness education, personal
transformation, and somatic training.
In addition to NSA, we offer Somato-Respiratory Integration (SRI), Yoga, Evening Meditation
Groups, and 1 and 2 day workshops and Retreats
We focus on how to use the body as a gateway to open the mind to new ways of experiencing one’s
sense of self and the world, with the intention of supporting our clients to be supported in
expressing their soul’s gifts in the world.
In this wellness education capacity, Lawrence Conlan is not engaged in diagnosing, treating, or
offering advice on disease.
This care is designed to help the individual become more aware of her/his body, its’ signals, and its’
needs. It is also intended to enhance the body’s ability to self-regulate and repair, to minimize the
breakdown of aging, stress, and a sense of self that is limiting.
Network Wellness Education is designed to educate you to your body’s rhythms and inner wisdom
through focused attention, gentle breath, movement, posture, and gentle touch.
In SRI, the staff will assist you in touching places on your own body with their support. They will
also give you home practices to aid you in doing similar body awareness techniques on your own.
In NSA, the gentle touch will consist of Lawrence directing your attention to places along your
spine that are access points or “gateways” of self-awareness and self-correction. Through these
gateways, Lawrence has observed that the nervous system resets itself from patterns of defensive
posturing and stress physiology that anchor us to a defended sense of self and releasing us to more
productive patterns of ease, self-awareness, and self-correction.
Notice of Intent – p. 2
Risk
The risks of care are small. This care is designed to help you become more aware of your body, its’
signals and its’ needs. Additionally, it is to help you develop new strategies to perceive, re-
distribute, and release tension. At certain points of care, tension or discomfort may temporarily
increase.
The feeling of energy moving through the body, a greater body sense of the emotions, and the
development of the “healing waves” of movement are often new experiences, and at times, may be
frightening to a very small percentage of people.
Healing waves are a byproduct of care through which the body restores motion, proper position,
and self-organization of its structures. This may result in temporary, spontaneous, non-consciously
directed movements of the body, as it achieves its objectives. These movements may last for
seconds or minutes, or in rare cases of a significant history of trauma, occur off and on during the
course of days. No known harm has been reported with Network care.
While I understand the general nature of the risks and complications involved in wellness coaching
and spinal and somatic education, I do not expect Lawrence Conlan to be able to anticipate and
explain every risk and complication.
I have read or have had read to me the above consent. I have also had the opportunity to ask
questions about its content. By signing below, I agree to the above named procedures.
I intend this consent form to cover my relationship with Lawrence Conlan and the Network Spinal
Awakening staff, including current and all future actions.
