Natural Support for Peri-Menopause, Menopause and Beyond
I have many women coming through the clinic that know very little about peri-menopause/menopause and how it affects their bodies. It's encouraging to see that menopause has become a prominent subject in the media, gaining the attention it deserves and educating women on this natural process. However, much of the time the only solution offered by the Dr for symptoms is HRT or anti-depressants. However, Systematic Kinesiology offers natural, wholistic support for peri-menopause, menopause, and … [Read more...] about Natural Support for Peri-Menopause, Menopause and Beyond
Moving Through Fear Toward The Life You Choose
A guest blog post written by TASK Graduate, Antonia Beamish (Edited by TASK). I love to write about fear because it can be such a consistent companion in my life without me even realising it’s there. That’s the way fear works, it can be really subtle, hanging out just below the current of consciousness so that we can’t see, feel or hear it. Instead, we’re just blocked in our life but we don’t know why. Tend fears like weeds in a garden Fear takes up sacred space in the garden of our … [Read more...] about Moving Through Fear Toward The Life You Choose

Should I Be Taking Probiotics?

So often when I’m treating patients in the clinic with digestive issues I hear them say the same thing. “I’ve tried probiotics and they don’t make any difference, they don’t work."

Kinesiology is Electric and Empowering

Who Do You Think You Are?
No, this is not about ancestry! An ancient proverb states: “As a person thinks, in their mind and heart, so they are, or so they become”. What we think about, determines to a large extent who we are. The Power of Choice It is our minds that think. Life presents us with an endless stream of options. To select which of those options to pursue we decide by the ‘POWER of CHOICE’.

The Importance of Hydration and Electrolyte Balance to Health and Wellbeing
Clients are very familiar with their Kinesiologist talking about the importance of adequate hydration. Dehydration is the cause of many symptoms: Dehydration and Constipation The times a kinesiologist most commonly discusses the need for hydration with a client is when they are experiencing constipation.
