Health Kinesiology
Kinesiology uses muscle testing to access information about the b​ody. There are many branches that differ in how they use this information to release blocks within the energy system that are limiting the body and its natural healing potential. I practice Health Kinesiology, a holistic therapy based on asking the body what it needs to return it to optimum health. It utilises the meridian system to make permanent corrections to the bio-energetic system.
Our fundamental tool is muscle testing. This involves applying gentle pressure to an isolated muscle, and assessing the response. We tend to use an arm muscle that allows you to rest your elbow comfortably on the couch during the session. Much as our legs go weak and we have to sit to hear bad news, an isolated muscle will test weak in the presence of a substance or thought that creates a disturbance in the energetic system.
Sessions are unique to each individual and each varies from the next. As a client you lie warm, comfortable and fully clothed on a treatment couch. Working towards a particular concern you have, we use gentle muscle testing to determine what weakens or stresses your energy system. This may be a thought, a feeling, a memory, a food substance or a pattern of magnets, among other things. We then hold acupoints to release the highlighted stress, allowing your natural energy flows to re-balance.
These energy flow problems can be due to emotional baggage, past trauma, accidents, toxins, etc. I think of them like elastic bands, constricting the flow along a complex network. If you think of all the hundreds of stresses we must pick up through our lives, it’s not surprising that some areas are so constricted that they begin to stagnate, while in other areas the flow is too fast or fit to bursting! Releasing these stresses and balancing the energy flow allows your body to do what it does best; to bring itself back into optimum vitality and wellbeing.
Reflexology
Applying pressure to areas on the feet that correspond to parts of the body, with an aim of promoting health.
In a session we generally cover points for the whole body whilst also paying closer attention to those areas that are relevant to your concerns. Painful points tend to need a bit more work so we go more gently and maybe come back to them again.
​
While the aim is to improve health, a reflexology treatment is also deeply relaxing. Something about it almost instantly switches your brain off and lets your body sink into the couch. This is so beneficial and so we go gently, making sure you're comfortable, warming the feet up first and I like to finish the session with a short aromatherapy foot massage

Reiki
Reiki is a form of hands on energy channeling, originating in Japan with Dr Mikao Usui in the early 1900's. It's a technique for reducing stress, promoting relaxation and healing. It's passed on, teacher to student, using touch, intention, symbols and teachings
​
In a session, you lay full clothed on a treatment couch, warm and comfortable. I might dowse for an essential oil, then follow a series of gentle hand positions, working from the head to feet. Holding extra time in places that feel in need. I act as a protected channel for Universal energy, your system just takes what it needs.
You might experience discomfort in certain areas as energy shifts but it's generally a deeply relaxing treatment. Some people see colours or occasionally images but it's more usual for the body to feel heavy, allowing you to drift off. I think we heal faster when our consciousness doesn't get involved! If you're very low in vital energy this is a good place to start.
