We’re heading back to Sydney, Australia, on June 13–14, 2025, with a two-day experience designed to transform how chiropractors serve through a neurological and polyvagal lens. Day 1 is the MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol: The Lower Half, open to all chiropractors (no prerequisites required). This hands-on day blends key components from our lower spine and extremities seminars, focusing on adjusting the anterior rib cage, diaphragm, pelvis, and femur heads while tracing the dorsal root of the vagus nerve. You’ll leave with tools to adjust more precisely, support regulation in the lower half of the nervous system, and amplify the effectiveness of your current technique.

Day 2 is the Neuro-Engaged Chiropractic Team Experience, an immersive day for chiropractors and their teams, or solo docs who want to sharpen their communication and leadership. This workshop has real-time demonstrations, scripting, and interactive training to help you synchronize your message, build trust faster, and elevate every step of the patient journey. If you want your care to be more relevant, engaging, and sustainable for your nervous system, this weekend is for you.

SEPTEMBER 6TH, IN AMSTERDAM

For the vitalistic chiropractor who believes in the body’s innate intelligence and the nervous system’s central role in health, the Neuro-Engaged Chiropractor: The Polyvagal Practice Blueprint offers a missing link: how to create an office environment that truly honors and activates that intelligence. This one-day seminar in Amsterdam will show you how to build a practice ecosystem rooted in safety, regulation, and authentic human connection—so your adjustments can land deeper and your retention finally makes sense.

This seminar will help you bridge the gap between philosophy and procedure. You’ll learn how to communicate in a way that aligns with your nervous-system-first approach, upgrade outdated habits that subtly dysregulate your patients, and explore tools that'll help make your care more impactful immediately. We’ll also unpack the five cranial nerves of the social engagement system and the principles of the MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol, so that your adjustments not only affect structure but support regulation from the body up.

Whether you’re a solo doc, an associate, or bringing your entire team, this seminar is about creating congruency between your values, your vibe, and your results. Because when your whole office becomes a place where people feel safe, seen, and supported, you don’t just grow a practice. You create a movement.

DECEMBER 6TH, IN TORONTO

Join us in Toronto on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, for a one-day chiropractic experience designed to reconnect you to your purpose, your people, and your nervous system. This powerful event is for chiropractors and their teams who are ready to shift out of survival mode and step into greater clarity, congruence, and connection in both their communication and care. Through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory and our signature Informed Chiropractor framework, you’ll learn how to build a more regulated practice, starting with yourself. We’ll also be joined by the ever-inspiring Dr. Peter Amlinger, who will remind us why this work is sacred and why the world needs chiropractors who lead with heart and conviction.

This is not your average seminar. Expect actionable tools, real talk, and an energy that reminds you why you fell in love with chiropractic in the first place. Bring your team or come solo—either way, you’ll leave with renewed clarity and a powerful sense of community. And don’t miss our Saturday night social—because transformation is even better when it includes laughter, connection, and maybe a little dancing. Spots are limited, and early bird pricing is available until September 1st, 2025, so claim yours before they’re gone.

What others have said

Dr Pip picture

"My practice has grown by 20-30% since joining. But that’s not WHY I joined, nor is it the BEST part. I joined to enjoy practice more, gain confidence in my communication and add functional testing. What I got is way more ease in my schedule, way more flow in my adjusting, a better understanding of my patient's needs, and an understanding of why valuing and prioritizing MY vitality has shifted my practice. All without changing a single procedure, just changing how I show up and serve each and every day."

Dr. Pip Penrose Young, Stratford, Ontario

"The key to moving our practice from one that was stuck and stagnant to one that is growing and thriving has been the vitality shift. The vitality shift got us moving and the vitality engine keeps us moving. The vitality engine has helped us develop our skills to communicate & practice congruently in a vitalistic manner. We’ve never been happier or more fulfilled in practice."

Dr. John and Marie Osborne, Ireland

Gentle advice on top of excellent lessons and monthly tutorials have enabled me to edge my practice forward past where any of us ever thought possible. Receipts are up, referrals are up and results are up."
