Frequently Asked Questions

Tell me more about Kinesiology & Mind Body Medicine

Kinesiology and Mind Body Medicine are complementary therapies that focus on the interconnection between the mind, body, emotions, and overall well-being.  These therapies utilise the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and help you find the root cause of your physical and emotional imbalances. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves, and this integrative approach works with the body’s innate healing intelligence to bring you into a state of balance, health and harmony. 

 

Kinesiology utilises gentle muscle monitoring to identify imbalances and stress in the body, and uses different therapeutic techniques such as acupressure points, body therapy, energy healing, aromatherapy and sound healing to clear stress and restore balance. 

 

Mind Body Medicine explores the relationship between the mind and the body.  By looking at the mind and body as one, we explore the connection between what is showing up in your body as physical symptoms and your underlying psychological state of being. You will gain a deeper understanding of yourself by learning to listen to what your body is trying to tell you.

Tell me more about Children's Kinesiology sessions

I love working with children and helping them work through the underlying issues that are causing them any sort of stress or upset.  Children are so open and tend to respond exceptionally well to Kinesiology.  Kinesiology is a powerful modality which can assist babies, children and adolescents with a broad range of issues. Parents are requested to attend the session.
