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:
Learn how to assess and adjust through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory
Understand the Safety Corridor of the Vagus Nerve and how it governs healing
Explore how fascia, viscera, and interoception shape spinal tone and emotional response
Learn how to adjust in a way that promotes neurological safety
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:
Specific protocols to address the occiput, cranial’s, cervical spine, and upper ribs
Understanding of how cranial nerve feedback affects spinal tone
New strategies to support neurological regulation in the upper body
LEVEL 2: LOWER SPINE, PELVIC FLOOR & SAFETY CORRIDOR
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:
Tools to assess and release pelvic floor-related tone
New insights into how torque affects both fascia and neurological input
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:
Powerful adjusting options for shoulders, hips, elbows, and knees
Fascia-informed adjusting strategies to support whole-body coherence
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:
See the nervous system through the lens of Neuroception, tone, and interoception
Adjust in a way that honors the hierarchy of safety and helps to improve interoception
Recognize how fascia, viscera, and structural tone create holding patterns which are primarily sensory.
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:
To make your practice a healing hub for neuro-regulation
Use non-verbal safety cues in your systems, space, and staff
Become a more effective co-regulator inside and outside the adjusting space
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:
Clarity through structured facilitation
Nervous system support to anchor change
Group accountability and focused action planning
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:
Read body language and respond to dysregulation in real time
Read body language and respond to dysregulation in real time
Build emotional fluency and confidence in front-line communication
Because when your team gets regulated… your entire practice changes.
