Events & Speaking

This is not just about adjusting spines. This is about changing lives—starting with yours.

SEMINARS THAT SHIFT MORE THAN JUST TECHNIQUE

You don’t need another seminar telling you how to be busier.

You need a space that reconnects you to why you started—and gives you the science, structure, and support to serve from a place of depth, not depletion.

Our events are built for chiropractors who are done with surface-level solutions.

They’re for practitioners who believe chiropractic is powerful because of the nervous system—not in spite of it.

And they’re designed for those ready to bring regulation, relevance, and resonance back into their practice.

WHAT MAKES OUR SEMINARS DIFFERENT?

MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol

WHAT MAKES OUR SEMINARS DIFFERENT?

At every live training, you’ll:

1

Learn how to assess and adjust through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory

2

Understand the Safety Corridor of the Vagus Nerve and how it governs healing

3

Explore how fascia, viscera, and interoception shape spinal tone and emotional response

4

Learn how to adjust in a way that promotes neurological safety

5

Leave with language, clarity, and confidence that transforms your clinical results and your leadership

These events aren’t about changing your technique.

They’re about changing your relationship to the nervous system—and to your own role as a healing presence.

CURRENT SEMINARS

THE MACDONALD SAFETY CORRIDOR PROTOCOL

“Chiropractic adjustments are powerful—but only when the nervous system is ready to receive them. The Safety Corridor Protocol teaches you how to create that readiness.”

The MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol is our signature, polyvagal-informed chiropractic adjusting framework—designed to help chiropractors identify and release stored patterns of defense in the spine, fascia, and viscera that interfere with true neurological safety.

This isn’t just about getting movement.

It’s about creating regulation through connection.

And it’s built for chiropractors who want to go beyond mechanics and access the neurological state beneath the subluxation.

The MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol is a three-part seminar series that helps chiropractors adjust with more certainty, clarity, and neurological resonance—by aligning chiropractic care with the Polyvagal Theory, fascia, and the hierarchy of safety.

Each seminar can be taken in any order and stands alone as a complete training in its focus area. Together, they form an advanced framework for chiropractors who want to become masterful in the art of regulation-based adjusting.

LEVEL 1: UPPER SPINE & SAFETY CORRIDOR

Focus: Occiput, cervical spine, upper ribs, and cranial nerve regulation

This one-day training teaches you how to analyze and adjust the upper safety corridor, including the occiput, C-spine, and upper ribs. You’ll explore Locks 1–2 with an introduction to cranial adjusting and gain immediately applicable adjusting protocols designed to reduce threat and enhance neuro-regulation.

You’ll also dive into the critical role of the FACE as a primary indicator of safety and social engagement—regulated by cranial nerves, not spinal ones. Learn how to observe facial tone, affect, and eye movement as cues for readiness to receive input.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

1

Specific protocols to address the occiput, cranial’s, cervical spine, and upper ribs

2

Understanding of how cranial nerve feedback affects spinal tone

3

New strategies to support neurological regulation in the upper body

LEVEL 2: LOWER SPINE, PELVIC FLOOR & SAFETY CORRIDOR

In this level, you’ll explore adjusting strategies for the lower safety corridor, including force applications for the lower ribs, pelvis, and lumbar spine. We’ll emphasize Locks 3–4, and introduce tools to assess and influence the pelvic floor—a region often holding deep protective tension.

We’ll also examine how torque and tension in fascia impact both bone and neural feedback, and why the dorsal root of the vagus nerve plays a pivotal role in bottom-up regulation.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

1

Tools to assess and release pelvic floor-related tone

2

New insights into how torque affects both fascia and neurological input

3

Strategies to improve foundational tone, breath, and regulation from below

LEVEL 3: EXTREMITY ADJUSTING & FASCIA’S ROLE IN NEUROCEPTION

Focus: Shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and proprioceptive safety cues

This seminar explores extremity adjusting through the lens of fascia, Neuroception, and proprioception. You’ll learn adjusting strategies for major extremity joints while gaining deeper clarity on how fascial tone contributes to safety—or threat—signaling in the nervous system.

This is more than just “extra techniques.” It’s about understanding how movement, load, and sensory input from the extremities shapes Neuroception and regulation.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

1

Powerful adjusting options for shoulders, hips, elbows, and knees

2

Fascia-informed adjusting strategies to support whole-body coherence

3

A clearer map of how proprioception affects the vagal system and social engagement

BUILT THROUGH A POLYVAGAL LENS

This system aligns vitalistic chiropractic principles with contemporary neuroscience, especially the polyvagal theory, which shows us that safety is a prerequisite for healing—not a byproduct.

At each level of the MacDonald Safety Corridor, you’ll learn to:

1

See the nervous system through the lens of Neuroception, tone, and interoception

2

Adjust in a way that honors the hierarchy of safety and helps to improve interoception

3

Recognize how fascia, viscera, and structural tone create holding patterns which are primarily sensory.

4

Apply strategies to remove perceived threat before, during, and after the adjustment

NEURO-ENGAGED CHIROPRACTOR

The Polyvagal Practice Blueprint

A one-day immersive experience for chiropractors and teams. This training helps you build a practice that feels different—because it’s regulated differently.

You'll learn to:

1

To make your practice a healing hub for neuro-regulation

2

Use non-verbal safety cues in your systems, space, and staff

3

Become a more effective co-regulator inside and outside the adjusting space

4

Align your practice with a salutogenic, Polyvagal-informed model of care

“Brandi, you and Don are truly amazing! What a gift the last two days have been. I’m now a raving fan too. The ripple effect of what you teach is palpable—and it’s spreading around the world. Thank you for making the 60-hour round trip to grow that ripple in the southern hemisphere.”

—Australia

IGNITE: CHIROPRACTIC MASTERMIND EXPERIENCE

You’ll get:

1

Clarity through structured facilitation

2

Nervous system support to anchor change

3

Group accountability and focused action planning

4

You will leave with an actionable 90 day plan to accelerate your progress

“IGNITE gave me permission to let go of what was no longer aligned, and build what’s next—with clarity and confidence.”

—Canada

TEAM TRAININGS

We train chiropractic teams to become anchors of safety—not just helpers at the desk.

Your team will learn how to:

1

Read body language and respond to dysregulation in real time

2

Read body language and respond to dysregulation in real time

3

Build emotional fluency and confidence in front-line communication

4

Because when your team gets regulated… your entire practice changes.

WHAT CHIROPRACTORS ARE SAYING

“Thanks doesn’t seem enough. Every time I meet you both, I’m more amazed by the depth of what you teach—and how you live it. You’ve changed how I practice, but more than that... you’ve changed how I show up as a person.”

—New Zealand

“You didn’t just transform how I adjust—you helped me become more grounded, more connected, and more attuned to the people I serve. I feel a powerful energy flowing through me now, and my clients are responding at a whole new level. Your impact is profound and lasting.”

—Australia

“I used the pelvic floor protocol you taught with an ex-CA experiencing prolapse and tightness. She’s been seeing a pelvic floor physio since March and was told surgery was likely. I tried it once—and she said it’s the best it’s felt in a long time.”

—Australia

“The obturator release helped relieve perineum pain in a pregnant patient almost instantly. And with rib/hip releases, patients say: ‘I don’t know what that was, but I feel lighter.’ That’s regulation in action.”

—Australia

“I’ve loved adding these adjustments to my visits with some great outcomes so far. But the best part has been the comments from clients about the feeling in the office… ‘A safe space to be able to fall into.’ ‘You’re one of the few people I’d trust with my life.’ And my favourite—two highly dysregulated brothers… adopted, addicted biological mom, divorced parents. Normally wild. Tear the office apart. Yesterday, they came in, both lay on the table, got adjusted—and that was all. Made my day!”

—Australia

“This is what chiropractic has been missing—language, clarity, and depth.”

— USA

“The Safety Corridor Protocol is the bridge between philosophy and neurology. Every chiropractor should take this.”

—Australia

“Brandi and Don are a force. Their seminars are equal parts science, soul, and strategy.”

—UK
