KINESIOLOGY
Kinesiology with Kaya - Bodywork & Energy Medicine
for balance, release, alignment & expansion.
What Is Kinesiology?
At its core, holistic kinesiology revolves around a straightforward concept: through muscle reflex testing, the body itself guides us toward what needs healing.
​
Muscle testing (also known as tracking) provides us with biofeedback information about imbalances and stresses within the body.
​
A kinesiologist does not diagnose or treat; instead we work collaboratively with you to explore what may be creating stress in your system and then work together to restore balance - physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.
​
Traditional Chinese Medicine & The Five Elements
Kinesiology draws on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
​
Within these sessions we work with the body's energetic landscape - the meridian system, and access the wisdom that flows through these energy pathways, that concentrates in the healing portals that are the acupressure points.
​
By observing where energy flows freely and where it may feel blocked, depleted or over energised, we identify what support is needed to restore harmony within the whole body system.
​
The Five Elements - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water - originate from Traditional Chinese Philosophy. They offer a way of understanding the rhythms of nature, the movement of energy, and the interconnectedness of body, mind, and environment.
​
Together the Five Elements reflect the natural cycles that live within us: growth, fullness, harvest, release, and rest.
When we understand these rhythms, we begin to work with them rather than against them, supporting deeper balance and wellbeing.​​
Why Have A Kinesiology Session?
You can bring just about anything to a kinesiology session.
​
If you are interested in understanding yourself more deeply and discovering the story behind your symptoms, then you will be drawn to this type of work.
​
Kinesiology helps you listen to the wisdom of your body. It can support you in understanding the root of pain or discomfort and releasing the stress that may be contributing to it - so you can feel better and regain the vitality and energy you need to reach your potential.
​
This style of kinesiology supports you in working with your life path. It will help shift deep-seated emotional, physical and energetic patterns which can manifest as aches and pains, illness, frustration, relationship challenges, low mood, lack of confidence, low energy, or a sense of unfulfilment or lack of purpose.
​
I love kinesiology because it is a truly holistic and flexible modality that works on all levels - body, mind, emotions, and spirit - supporting meaningful and lasting change.
About Me & How I Work
Every kinesiologist works differently, and each session will be unique. I bring over 15 years of experience as a full-time bodyworker to my practice.
I love incorporating myofasical bodywork, and the gentle yet deeply transformational power of acupressure into these sessions.
I believe that often the simplest remedies are the most powerful. My intention is that every client leaves their session feeling clearer, more resilient, and energised.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
If you are new to energy work then I suggest coming for an initial appointment to see if it feels right for you, then if you would like to continue, depending on what we are working with, a course of 3-6 sessions is usually recommended in order to make significant change.
​
Occasionally a one-off session is all that is needed.
​
During times of acute stress or crisis, a weekly or fortnightly session may be appropriate.
​
Some people choose to have ongoing, monthly sessions, or an "MOT" every few months, to help them to stay on track and continue feeling their best.
​
Each session is a complete balance in itself but every session will build on the last.
Regular or continued sessions mean that we are able to work through issues as they arise, in order of priority, and as they show themself as ready to be worked on.
​
Personally I have been dipping in and out of having my own kinesiology sessions for over 20 years; originally with Carrie Jost, the founder of the School of Creative Kinesiology, as well as practitioners from the many other branches of kinesiology. It has always been my "go-to" support whenever I am not feeling my best, need to realign, or to deepen my spiritual practice.
FEES:
60 - 75 minutes £45

Why Reduced Rate Sessions?
I have completed a 75-hour in-person Foundation Training and a 307-hour Professional Training, and I am currently in the process of working through my 200 hours of supervised clinical practice, as required by my governing body, The Kinesiology Federation of Great Britain.
Once these supervised sessions are complete and I am a fully qualified and registered kinesiologist, my rates will increase to reflect my completed accreditation.
​
For now, I am offering a limited number of reduced-rate sessions each week. These are usually on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
​
Please note that you may be asked to provide a short paragraph of written feedback following your session.
Is Kinesiology Right For Me?
This work blends both science and a touch of magic. It is a co-creative process and a self-responsibility model: as your therapist, I support your process and assist your body's own healing mechanisms. It is important to note that this type of work is not passive or a quick fix. It requires your willingness to engage in the process - always at a pace that your body allows. For those accustomed only to conventional or modern medicine,
this approach may require a shift in mindset, but it can open the door to deeper self-awareness and profound and lasting change.
Preparing For Your Session
It is helpful to come with an idea of what you would like to focus on during your session. Some people like to write a list to bring with them.
​
During your session you will remain fully clothed, so please wear loose comfortable clothing suitable for bodywork and acupressure.
​
If possible then allow some time after your treatment for rest and integration.
