Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone! Kinesiology is suitable for all age groups. If a client is unable to conduct or respond to the muscle testing (for example in the case of babies, small children, additional needs clients, the infirm & animals) testing can be done using a ‘surrogate’ (often a parent in the case of children).
An initial or food testing consultation is 2 hours. Follow up appointments are 90 minutes. Plan ahead, prioritise and make time for your own healing to take place.
If you find it hard to dedicate the time, get curious and ask yourself why. Is it because you’ve placed yourself at the bottom of your priorities? Is it because you don’t value your health and well-being? These insights may be the key why healing hasn’t been taking place. A gentle reminder: Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Before we dive in, we’ll start by getting to know you better. I want to hear all about what’s been going on with you. Together we’ll discuss your health journey and current challenges, and set some goals for working together.
Then, we’ll move on to the fun stuff – muscle response tests – think of them as your body’s way of talking to us! This helps us pinpoint any energy imbalances and figure out what tweaks are needed. This might involve anything from holding reflex points to a little massage therapy or tracing meridians to keep your energy flowing smoothly.
By the time we wrap up, we’ll come up with a game plan just for you, which could include nutritional support, some mood-boosting flower essences, or maybe a mindset upgrade or reset regarding your self-esteem, diet or lifestyle.
Those stressful emotions that weighed you down at the start? They’ll tend to lose their grip. And any discomfort or pain? They’ll usually take a backseat, especially with the relief you’ll feel to have your body finally listened to and supported!
That said, some long-term issues might need a little more TLC. Once they’ve tasted the benefits, some folks regularly swing by for monthly or quarterly tune-ups to keep everything humming along smoothly. Think of it as your body’s NCT / MOT – preventative care, rather than reactive care!
Before you come in for your first session, please take a moment to jot down any background info and what you’re hoping to achieve.
On the big day, make sure you’re well-hydrated, bring along any meds or supplements you’re currently taking, and wear something cozy & loose-fitting to allow ample free movement of the arms and legs.
After a treatment, it’s very important to drink plenty of water and get a good night’s sleep to deepen your healing experience.
Oh, and a little journalling never hurt anyone – Keep the mindset shifts and healing momentum going by jotting down any insights you’ve gained or positive affirmations that resonated with you in and outside treatment.
Muscle testing – it’s like a diagnostic kit for your body! In the world of Kinesiology, we use it to identify muscular issues, to check up on your nutritional status, to sniff out energy blockages, to uncover emotional or mental stress, and even pinpoint food or chemical sensitivities.
Think of it as your body’s own Q&A session, ie:
– Is this muscle / organ meridian getting the nutrients it needs?
– Are there any emotional or energetic roadblocks in its way?
– Where else can we physically treat this issue in the body?
I will be applying various techniques pulling from Applied Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Nutritional Therapy, Chiropractic theories, Neuro-linguistic Programming, Life Coaching and Mindfulness. From essential oils, gemstones, flower essences, colour therapy to brain integration exercises, I’ve got a whole Kinesi-therapeutic toolbox to work from to create a whole person well-being experience.
Not necessarily. Muscle testing is less about raw muscle strength and more about how your nervous system’s calling the shots. Think of it as your body’s way of giving us a heads-up about what’s going on under the bonnet.
Trust me, whether I’m testing gently or with a bit more pressure, a weak muscle will still show its true colours. A truly weak muscle will only get weaker with repeated testing, whereas a truly strong muscle will usually strengthen with repeated testing.
Remember muscle testing isn’t about flexing your muscles to see if you can take on Popeye the Sailor Man; it’s more about observing the electrical / neurological response from brain to muscle to detect if a disruption or disturbance to the signal is present.
Kinesiology is completely safe with no long-term side effects. Some people can feel a bit tired or emotional after a treatment, while some leave feeling energised and emotionally relieved. It’s all part of the journey, but regardless, I always recommend hydrating with plenty of water and getting a good night’s sleep afterward. By the next day or two, you’ll feel right as rain!
Nope, not even close. Kinesiology’s role is to complement, not replace, the advice and treatments you get from your doctor.
While Kinesiology works wonders in balancing the body’s energy and promoting its natural healing abilities, and while I’m all for digging deeper to find subclinical causes of poor health, and giving your body a little nudge in the right direction – At the end of the day, I strongly recommend you stay in touch and check in with your doc / medical team – they’re the pros.
Oh, those little guys? Those vials are filled with supplements, herbs, and various homeopathic essences. My testing kits are packed with over 150 different substances, covering a wide range of biochemical & nutritional needs.
Supplements are a minefield! We’ll do a little detective work and figure out exactly what your body needs. No more throwing money down the drain – we’ll dial in the specifics tailored just for you.
Personalised supplement plans are included in all of my multiple treatment packages so that you’ll know exactly which supplements to take with what, how many and when. Work with me to eliminate the guesswork and keep things easy to follow with effective results!
Kinesiology can test exactly which supplements your body needs to keep in balance. Initially the supplements will be taken generally for one month and then you will be reassessed. As some medical conditions or medications deplete nutrients, and as our foods are not as nutrient rich as they once were in the past, some people may require additional nutritional support long term.
Energy is the fundamental essence of everything around us, including ourselves. In Kinesiology, we acknowledge that all matter is composed of vibrating particles at specific frequencies. When we refer to “energy,” we’re describing this vital force. Through Kinesiology techniques, we’ll work to facilitate the smooth flow of energy within the body. Sometimes energy can get a bit stuck, you know?
Think of a dam. On one side there’s very little water, and on the other there’s loads. Energy or Chi (Qi), or Prana can work in the same fashion. Work with me and I’ll identify energy meridians or chakras that are under-supplied with energy, and which ones might be hogging extra! Once I’ve found the linchpin holding the dam shut, I’ll give it a gentle nudge using energy therapy techniques based in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chakra Balancing. You’ll be back in balance by the end of the treatment.
