A few years ago, I was assistant manager for a busy TV company based in London and was very stressed and run down. I felt generally unwell and began to suffer with palpitations, shortness of breath and panic attacks. In August 2001, I had terrible chest pains and was referred to a specialist who discovered that I had a virus in the muscles surrounding my heart. For six weeks I had no energy and was completely exhausted. The virus eventually cleared up, but the palpitations persisted and no-one could find a cause.

I realised that I couldn't continue living my life in this way and knew I had to do something about it. My husband and I made a decision to leave our lives in London and make a fresh start in Derbyshire. Leaving behind the stress of my job helped a little and I felt more relaxed, but my palpitations continued and I still felt as though I was completely out of balance. I was certain that food allergies were a part of my problems, but despite keeping food diaries, trying elimination diets and visiting a nutritionist, I hadn't reached any conclusions.

An acquaintance suggested I try Health Kinesiology, a holistic way of treating the body to bring the energy system back into harmony and balance. At my first appointment, I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never tried any sort of complementary therapy before, but I found it very relaxing and the work that we did was very relevant to me. Over the course of about 8 months I had several appointments and noticed a positive improvement after every one. I discovered I had numerous food allergies, many of which were successfully treated using a simple allergy tap technique. I also had a severe wheat allergy and after completely cutting wheat out of my diet, my palpitations started to be less frequent and I began to feel well again. I also successfully reintroduced other foods back into my diet which no longer caused me problems. Since then, I have never looked back!

The HK also worked on improving my general health and wellbeing and releasing the stress that had built up in my system over time. I was so impressed with what HK achieved for me, that I decided to train as a practitioner myself so that I could help other people with their health problems too. I qualified as a Registered Practitioner in March 2005.

I am currently working from my treatment room at home and appointments are available on a Saturday morning between 9am - 1pm.

Health Kinesiology has enabled me to regain control over my life - maybe I could help do the same for you!
