I discovered Health Kinesiology after being dramatically taken out of work in an ambulance, on oxygen and wired to a heart monitor suffering a suspected heart attack. It turned out to be a severe reaction to some Gluten I had inadvertently eaten at lunch. Gluten is a substance found in some grains, primarily wheat. This took me by surprise as I had been following a strict gluten-free diet for four years since being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and had not experienced such a reaction before.

A friend had been seeing a Health Kinesiologist to good effect and as she was so worried about me, urged me to go along. I didn't know what to expect but was pleased that the treatment was non- intrusive, in no way stressful and looked at different aspects of the problem. I felt much better after two sessions and decided to study the first module as it covered allergies, which has given me control over the reaction to Gluten.

I was so impressed that I gave up my full time job as a senior manager to complete the training course. Leading a team and working long hours in finance, personnel and administration had given me first hand experience of the impact that stress and the ups and downs of life can have on people and their health.

I particularly like the way Health Kinesiology looks at the problem from all angles – facet analysis - working on the relevant areas until the body's energy is balanced. Often, as with stress, emotional and psychological problems can lead to physical symptoms, so it's important to address all the areas that are causing the problem.

During my client sessions I have been amazed at the results I have seen. The client's body will work at it's own pace, choosing the most relevant corrections. In some cases only a few sessions are needed, but for others more are needed to see results. During the first session we can identify how many sessions may be required to see a significant improvement, but usually there are improvements after each session.

I work from home during school hours and terms, ensuring a relaxing session tailored to the client.
