Neuro-Engaged Chiropractic: Synchronizing Communication & Care on

June 13th and 14th, 2025

 

- Friday June 13th, 2025 -

  The MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol-  lower spine with an added focus on the lower viscera. 

Doctors only to this day.

Chiropractors, join us as we teach the lower spine and the lower Safety Corridor.  The MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol is an amplifier that can be added to any Chiropractic adjusting technique to maximize the regulatory effect your care has on your practice member's nervous system.    Taking the upper spine, MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol seminar we did last year in Australia is not a prerequisite for this course. 

 What other docs have said about the Protocol

"This incredible protocol aligns perfectly with a principled approach, adaptable to any technique and enhanced by the intricate polyvagal approach – a symphony of physiology and anatomy."

"I would say it’s a more in-depth way of assessing and adjusting, using modified adjustments that will enhance the ones we already use in practice. I believe if more of us adjust like this, we will have a much more relaxed community."

"The Polyvagal Practice Blueprint, a new model for Chiropractic utilizing technique, people, and procedures"  

Why Attend?

It’s time to reimagine chiropractic care—not just as something we do, but as an environment we create. Rooted in the powerful science of Polyvagal Theory, this immersive one-day seminar will help you design a practice that prioritizes neurological safety, patient connection, and long-term retention. You'll walk away with a proven blueprint to build a practice ecosystem where patients not only return but refer—because they feel safe, seen, and supported.

During the day, we’ll go far beyond scripts and canned procedures. You’ll learn how to upgrade your language to align with nervous system safety, rewrite outdated office habits that may be unknowingly dysregulating, and practice live scenarios using our “First Impression Flip Chart” and “Safety Language Rewrite” tools. This isn't about making you robotic—it's about helping you discern what's happening in your patients’ bodies and behaviour so you can become the kind of chiropractor that people instinctively trust. As Brandi says, "Excitement is the same platform as fear. Discernment is the key." This is interoceptive leadership in action.

Whether you're a chiropractor, associate, or CA, this seminar will equip your whole team to become congruent in communication and united in care. You’ll leave feeling more certain, connected, and capable of guiding people from their first visit into lifetime care, by creating a space where their nervous system can finally exhale.

✅ Increase Patient Retention – Learn how to guide patients seamlessly from their first visit to lifetime care.

✅ Improve Patient Trust and Compliance – Utilize a nervous system forward approach to foster patient connection and long-term commitment.

✅ Enhance the Overall Patient Experience – Create a welcoming, predictable, and highly engaging practice environment.

This one-day immersive experience will leave you more certain, inspired, and excited to get back to your office and create you safety ecosystem.

I would say it’s a more in-depth way of assessing and adjusting - using modified adjustments which will enhance the ones we already use in practice. I believe if more of us adjust like this we will have a much more relaxed community

Dr. Roz Griffiths, New Zealand

The real way chiropractic actually works is by improving the chiropractor's ability to pick up and increase indicators of safety and the most effective place to address them, and then communicating this to practice members and getting them to feel it. 

Dr. Gabriella Palomares, Australia

It's a science based lens to understand and augment the often 'airy fairy' effects of chiropractic, helping us to track them and help our people become more aware of themselves and these changes.

Dr. Estelle Zauner Maughan, England

Taking part in this protocol and learning how to put my adjustments together in a way my clients can integrate in a neurologically safer way is a game changer. My communication has changed and my outcomes are improving. Every chiropractor should have an understanding of this in daily life and practice.

Dr. Sarah Tremblay, Canada

I have been involved in the shift almost from the beginning. My CA has only been with me for a year. Brandi's teaching is always an intense experience for a first-timer.  Having Dr Don there to share his clinical skills and experiences "from the trenches" made it relatable to all the doctors while keeping it accessible for the few spouses in the group. I loved the interactive exercises. We also appreciated spending time with Don and Brandi at the end of the day over drinks and dinner. We came home feeling empowered to make some changes both at the office and at home. I highly recommend and no need to have knowledge of polyvagal before coming to the seminar

Dr. Rachel Swan, Australia

This is a new lens to look at our current world through, helping answer how humans have changed and how we can better help them. I can see the benefits being much less stress, frustration, better boundaries, and more enjoyment in practice
