A revolutionary wellness sanctuary, the Selah Center, has opened its doors in Carlsbad, promising a path to profound health transformation by focusing on an often-overlooked area: the nervous system. Far beyond a typical spa or clinic, Selah is a private retreat described by its founders as the only facility on the West Coast to combine cutting-edge European regenerative therapies, military-grade nervous system technologies, and advanced oxygenation protocols all under one roof.
Finding the Root Cause
Co-Founder and Lead Practitioner Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC, an expert on detoxification and chronic illness, and her partner, co-founder and Therapeutic Strategist Michael Spandel, developed the Selah Center after years spent traveling the globe searching for answers to their own serious health issues.
“We were both really sick for years, and we searched all over the globe for what was going to make us better, and we landed on root cause resolution. And we found that a major focus on the nervous system really helps people to heal faster,” Kennally shares.
Kennally and Spandel both specialize in resolving the root causes behind complex conditions that often leave people feeling hopeless, including Lyme disease, mold illness, chronic fatigue, and trauma stored in the body.
“We’ve watched clients shake off trauma patterns that have haunted them for decades in a 15-minute ShiftWave session,” Kennally states.
Kennally, who battled multiple diagnoses including rheumatoid arthritis and chronic fatigue, knows the struggle firsthand. "I got a lot of diagnoses along the way that it turned out were reversible, but at the time, I was told that they were not. For years I couldn't read an email or write a sentence. I was that out of it," she recalls.
The solution was a combination of detoxification and retraining the nervous system. “The whole idea is to upregulate the body's own capacity for healing in a very supportive, relaxing way, and then do the deeper clinical work as needed,” says Kennally. “But you'd be amazed what your body can do when you turn on your body's own healing processes once again, because the nervous system regulates absolutely every aspect of digestion, detox, and your immune function.”
The "Circuit" Approach
For those who feel "burned-out," are grappling with complex chronic illnesses, or have simply "tried everything" without success, Selah offers a structured, science-backed approach to help the body let go of old patterns and rebuild from the inside out. Most wellness centers offer a single therapy approach, but Selah builds clients a personalized “Healing Circuit.” This sequence of advanced treatments is designed to give the nervous system the precise inputs it needs to reset, often leading to immediate shifts in regulation and relief.
The client journey begins with a comprehensive intake to understand the client’s current terrain, including their level of inflammation, drainage capacity, and most importantly, their nervous system state. The practitioners also assess what the body can currently handle as well as the client’s desired outcomes.
Based on this deep assessment, a custom "Circuit" is designed from a personalized sequence from over 20 global technologies and therapies, including systems that have been developed for combat veterans recovering from PTSD as well as those from European longevity clinics.
Michael Spandel, co-founder and The Selah Center's Systems Architect, leads the relentless global search for the most effective and gentle technologies including treatments like IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback for brain optimization, ShiftWave™ Therapy for nervous system dysregulation, medical-grade ozone therapies like EBOO for detox and drainage, or Exosome Therapy for cellular regeneration. The crucial difference is that these advanced systems are sequenced specifically for the client's unique biology by the Selah Center team of professionals, orchestrating the technology for their system rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.
Finally, the Center’s philosophy embraces “The Power of Pause." In fact, the center's name, Selah, means “divine pause for reflection.”Between therapies, clients are instructed to rest in the sanctuary’s restorative spaces. This deliberate integration period ensures that the body has the time to process the signals it has received and integrate the positive changes through rest.
Day Passes and Membership Options
Founding memberships have quickly sold out, so the Center is currently revising its membership options to accommodate the "overwhelming" demand from the community. The day passes, however, are a popular option, allowing clients to experience multiple stacked therapies. “The secret sauce for the Selah Center is the stack. So you're going from therapy to therapy, experience to experience, and teaching your body: ‘Okay, I'm going to unlock all my healing processes,’” Kennally shares. The day passes run for $500 until the end of the year when prices are expected to increase.
Along with the success of the flagship Carlsbad location, the Selah Center team are already opening a second location in Boise, Idaho, together with naturopathic physician Dr. Christine Schaffner in early 2026.
