I lived decades with feelings of not being good enough and using perfectionism in a bid to control every circumstance with plan A, B and C. I found the help I needed to change and develop a better, more harmonious and healthy life through the various therapies I had used. Now, realising how profoundly my life was changed for the good, and knowing it can change even from a place that seemed so entangled, I wanted others to experience it too.

I retrained, doing my Diploma in Kinesiology. In combining my nursing experience, my own life experience and now my evidence-based skill set in Kinesiology, I have the opportunity to help people create better lives for themselves in a way I never thought possible.

My desire to help others comes from my own personal experience of being overwhelmed by just about everything… at one point in my life, I fantasised about being in a car crash - just so I could stop, sleep, and someone else could make decisions for me.... that’s how far I had burned the candle at both ends! Perfectionism was driving my racing thoughts and the frustration at trying to do everything so right, left me with constant irritation and utter exhaustion.

My first career started in 1996 as a nurse in the disability sector. I very much enjoyed looking after people in that capacity and I did so for 23 years. However, I had work to do on myself and along this path of self-growth and healing, I discovered many therapies which were all great and served their purpose, still do, but Kinesiology attracted me in a way that, before I knew it, I had signed up to study it!

My first real experience of Kinesiology was just simply mind-bowling. I was totally speechless at what happened. I had just started a foundation course (Touch for Health) in Kinesiology with no prior knowledge or experience. So, here I was at a practice session doing my ‘homework’ and as coincidence would have it (I don’t believe there is such a thing, everything is meant to be even if we don’t understand it), none of the other students turned up and there was just the teacher and I. She did a small balance (session) with me and through the muscle testing she pinpointed an age and an emotion that was causing me a lot of anxiety without me even realising it. During this experience, when I joined the dots, it all made sense. I had been working through some issues and was finding things particularly tough and this experience honestly changed my life in that instant! I could not believe that in a matter of minutes, such a big transition could happen in my thinking and outlook. It made clear to me that I didn’t just want to continue after this foundation course, I needed to! I honestly felt compelled to pass on this experience of discovery and healing to others.

I now have tremendous satisfaction at seeing clients better their life… I cannot put it into words the feeling of gratitude when I see a client experience their own instant healing right there on the plinth and this motivates me to help as many people as I can.
