FAQ's
What happens in a Kinesiology session?
When you come for your first visit, we will commence the session by discussing the particular issue/s you wish to address. Prior to the first appointment I will provide you with a 'Client Contact and Health History' form which will allow you to identify what issues you have and may provide a starting point for your sessions. ​You will then lay down on a massage table (fully clothed) and I will then commence the session.
​
​How does it work?
The type of Kinesiology I work with is referred to as Functional Kinesiology. It is a powerful healing modality that brings together eastern healing methodologies and western physiological healing sciences.
​
The main tool used is muscle biofeedback which is why it is called kinesiology (study of movement). Put simply, I use your muscles, primarily your forearm muscle to provide me with feedback on stresses and imbalances within your body. I then have a myriad of resources and information at my disposal to identify what is impacting on these stresses and how I will go about addressing them. We use various resources to ‘balance’ the client, all of which are non-invasive.
​
I will not ‘heal’ or ‘fix’ you by application of my knowledge, rather by tapping into your sub-conscious we, together, take a journey to explore and discover the factors creating the symptoms being presented. It is important to note that with Kinesiology we can only ever go as far as your subconscious will allow at any one time.
​What's the science behind it?
Today’s Functional Kinesiology has its origins in muscles testing that was developed by an orthopedic surgeon in the early 20th century, RW Lovett. He used muscle testing to analyse disabilities resulting from polio and nerve damage. His work was then followed on by Henry and Florence Kendall in the 1940’s who developed the muscle testing further. Chiropractor Dr. George Goodheart then took an interest in their work and continued on with linking muscle testing with particular aliments in his clients. He pulled that together with work done by Osteopaths Chapman and Owen who had identified neurolymphatic reflex points, chiropractor Bennett who identified neurovascular points as well traditional eastern methodologies including Meridian lines and acupuncture. It was out of this work Applied Kinesiology was born.
​
Since then, other practices have been identified and used including the use of sound (like sound therapy), sending of energy (like Reiki), the use of flower essences (like homeopathy) and Tei-Shin (acupressure).
​
Like many complementary health therapies, they continue to gain more scientific support and recognition. If you wish to learn more about the Energetic Kinesiology, I apply then there is an excellent reference book ‘Energetic Kinesiology – Principle and Practice’ by Dr. Charles Krebs and Tania O’Neill McGowan.
​
How many sessions will I need?
That depends, on what issue you are wanting to address, and they amount of time it needs to be healed. We are all individuals so what may take only a couple of visits for one person may take many for another. This is something we discuss during our first session, and I continue to discuss after each session.
​
My overall goal is to get you to the point where if I need to see you at all, it’s for ‘maintenance’ work only. Of course, if you have many ailments, it may time to get to this point.
​
How much does it cost?
Each session lasts 65 minutes, please note that there is no additional fee for your first session. I also provide 2-hour sessions, specifically for those clients who need to undertake significant travel to get to appointments.
Session fees
$125 for 65mins
