Autumn is here - although let’s not let our health fall. I was out running this morning and although we are still having beautiful sunshine filled days, the weather is turning and there was a nip in the air which actually felt lovely. It reminded me of cosying up in front of the fire, good films, family roast dinners and how the colder weather helps to keep nature in balance. As the season changes so do our bodies. We need warm food, root veggies, stews and soups to give our … [Read more...] about 7 tips to stay healthy this winter

What is priority finger mode in kinesiology?
I was asked recently what makes Kinesiology such an effective form of healthcare? There are many unique reasons why Kinesiology is so effective.

What sets kinesiology apart from other complementary therapies? Through muscle testing, we are able to ascertain what is a priority for the body to have addressed and … [Read more...] about What is priority finger mode in kinesiology?
The solution for illness is often not where you think it is
I've been busy rewriting the Foundation Course manuals with the help of the amazing Nora Zimerman Design Studio. Going through the manuals with a fine tooth comb is a huge job, but one great thing to come out of it (other than having completely up-to-date and great looking manuals) is how interlinked the body is and in ways that science has not caught up with yet. The solution for illness is often not where you think it is. Do you have random symptoms that Doctors can't work out? So many … [Read more...] about The solution for illness is often not where you think it is

The Importance Of Emotional Well-Being
Why are we obsessed with having more? I have seen emotional well-being take a dramatic nosedive over my career, particularly with young people. Life is faster than ever, pressured, overloaded, with constant noise and stimulation which can be overwhelming. Does it lead to inner happiness? The obsession with having more and more stuff NOW! Together with the 'all about me' attitude, which often starts from a very young age. Does not, in my opinion, lead to inner peace and 'real' happiness. … [Read more...] about The Importance Of Emotional Well-Being
Natural Ways To Alleviate Skin Problems

Giving and Receiving for Kinesiologists
As we are about to enter a time when we give and receive presents to loved ones it made me think about what we give and receive energetically within Kinesiology.

Kinesiology and the emotional body
Clearing emotional issues for balanced health It has often come to my attention how many of us separate our heads, minds and emotions from our bodies. Even those who 'know' they are totally entwined can often forget and overlook this truth. When dealing with and clearing emotional issues, we need to remember that emotions can and do get trapped in the cells of our body. Within Kinesiology we work on the emotions that are relevant to the weak muscle, organ or system which is incredibly … [Read more...] about Kinesiology and the emotional body

Balancing the nervous system with Kinesiology
Enough already! Life in 2017 can put a heavy load on our nervous system. Just getting out of bed each morning without any extra stresses piled on top can feel like enough.

Plus continual endocrine disrupting chemicals in food, toiletries and cleaning products and wow we begin to get a … [Read more...] about Balancing the nervous system with Kinesiology
