What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology’s guiding principal is that the body knows exactly what it needs to heal itself and uses a technique called muscle testing that accurately identifies what is inhibiting your body’s natural ability to heal.

Kinesiology combines eastern wisdom and modern day techniques to utilise the body’s innate healing energy.

Our past experiences affect and interrupt our flow of energy in our present day which causes imbalances in energetic system and the way we can show up to life.

Muscle Testing is able to access and identify how your past experiences are affecting you now and what it is you most strongly desire, it shows you where the healing is needed returning you and your body to a state of balance and your optimum outcome.

When we set a clear intention that is in alignment with our purpose and values and clear our unconscious of our past experiences - we step into our power - we free ourselves to collaborate with the the world around us and become who we always wanted to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kinesiology?

Your body stores everything you've lived through - every experience, belief, and protective pattern (even the one you have forgotten.


Through muscle testing, Kinesiology communicates directly with your nervous system to uncover the root cause of imbalance: the invisible stress beneath the surface that’s blocking your energy, clarity, or momentum. Whether it’s emotional overwhelm, recurring patterns in relationships, anxiety, fatigue, or simply feeling stuck in a goal you can’t seem to move forward on. Kinesiology helps you gently access, understand, and release what’s no longer serving you.

It restores flow to your system.


It helps you feel like yourself again — more calm, connected, and free to move forward.

More than a modality, Kinesiology is a tool for deep self-discovery by showing you what’s true underneath the surface, and clearing the way for your next evolution.

What is muscle testing?

Muscle testing (also known as applied kinesiology) is a technique used to access information from the unconscious mind and body. It involves asking the body a question and receiving a binary response — locked (yes) or unlocked (no) through subtle changes in muscle tone.

Traditionally, while the client holds a thought or focus, a practitioner surrogates for the client or presses on a muscle (often the arm). If the muscle weakens or gives way (unlocks), it indicates stress or incoherence in the system. If it stays in place (locked), it indicates congruence and harmony.

How does it work online?

This is where things get fascinating.

When a client gives consent and we establish a clear intention to connect, a shared energetic field is formed between practitioner and client. In neuroscience and energy medicine, this is sometimes referred to as the biofield — the electromagnetic field that surrounds and informs the body.

You may have felt this before without realizing it: the feeling of someone watching you from across a room, or thinking of a friend and they call seconds later. These are subtle cues of our non-local connection in action.

Once rapport and permission are established, I attune to your field using a focused state of presence. From this space, I use self-muscle testing to ask your system — through mine — where stress is stored, and what emotional pattern is ready to be cleared.

This isn’t guesswork or intuition alone. It’s a trained sensitivity to somatic responses, and years of building neurological trust in the muscle testing mechanism — like building accuracy in a musical instrument or search algorithm.

This method gives you a direct line to the unconscious patterns that are shaping your life. And once you see the results, it starts to feel less like magic and more like remembering how your body has always known the truth.

Is there any science behind it?

Yes - while the language of quantum fields and bioenergetics is still evolving, here are some core foundations:

  • HeartMath Institute has shown that the electromagnetic field of the heart can be measured up to 3 meters from the body — and influences the fields of those nearby.

  • Mirror neurons help explain how we can emotionally and somatically attune to another person, even without physical touch.

  • Biofield science (as defined by the National Institutes of Health) is an emerging area of research exploring how subtle energy fields affect health and healing.

  • Psychoneuroimmunology shows that beliefs, thoughts, and emotions influence physical health — and muscle testing is one way to access and shift those internal patterns.

What are the benefits?

Kinesiology helps shift you from feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected, to living with clarity, confidence and emotional freedom. It supports you to release fear, stress, past trauma and self-sabotage so you can move forward with calm, purpose and momentum. Whether you feel lost, low in self-worth, unclear in your direction or caught in patterns that no longer serve you, kinesiology gently clears what’s been held in the body and brings you back into right relationship with yourself. From there, life opens with deeper connection, improved communication, aligned choices and a grounded sense of who you are and what you’re here for.

There are many benefits, but in short Kinesiology restores balance where there is imbalance be it yourself, your relationships or a life area you seek change. Kinesiology is an exceptional tool of self discovery and freedom.
