FAQ

WHAT IS HK?

Health Kinesiology
(pronounced kin-easy-ology) is a gentle, holistic therapy which aims to strengthen and balance the body's energy system. It combines ancient methods from Traditional Chinese Medicine, with the modern science of muscle testing.
You will usually lie down on a couch, fully clothed, for your session. Gentle pressure is applied to monitor the response of a muscle in your arm, in order to access the body's wisdom about its own healing needs.
Various techniques are used to identify and then rectify problem areas.

Many people consider kinesiology to be one of the best methods to uncover and help the underlying causes of health problems that are difficult to find by any other means.

HOW LONG WILL MY HK SESSION LAST?

Sessions last about an hour, though you will need to allow around one and a half hours for the first session.

HOW WILL I FEEL AFTERWARDS?

Most people find HK relaxing and refreshing, and you may find you sleep really well the night after your session! It is also possible to feel a little tired or drained, depending on the work that was done. It is important to drink plenty of pure water for the first 36 hours after your session, to allow the work to 'process' smoothly. There is no healing crisis with HK!

DOES HK REALLY WORK?

Yes!

WHAT IS THE COST?

A session, regardless of duration, costs £40. Children aged 16 or under are treated half price. I do not charge to treat babies under 3.
Please contact me if you are concerned about paying for your HK.

N.B. I am happy to treat animals without charge. Be aware that I have no veterinary training and work alone.

WILL I BE ABLE TO STOP MY MEDICATION?
It is not unusual for people to be allergic to some component of their medication, and this may well be the cause of many unpleasant side effects. However, your doctor had good reason to prescribe your medication and you must never stop taking it without support and guidance from your GP or specialist. It is common for people, after having HK, to find they can get by on a lower dose, and some people do indeed manage to stay healthy without the drugs. But, I repeat, always be guided by your doctor's advice (but, it doesn't hurt to ask!)
* For people undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other aggressive treatments, HK can be a valuable support, helping to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment, whilst minimising the side effects.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Many clients, especially children, experience profound results from the first session. Miracles do happen and I would love to have a miracle happen for my clients. However, bear in mind that the state of your health now reflects the sum total of everything that has happened to you, body, mind and spirit, since the moment of your conception. It would be quite a feat to address all of that in one hour. It seems unreasonable to put yourself under that kind of pressure!
I generally recommend a minimum of two sessions for a recently acquired condition.
* With chronic conditions, I use muscle testing to determine the approximate number of sessions which will see the best results for you.

I'VE ALREADY TRIED MANY DIFFERENT THERAPIES FOR MY CONDITION, BUT THEY DIDN'T WORK. WILL HK BE ANY DIFFERENT?
This is a tough one to answer! You need to appreciate that, although your symptoms may be distressing to you, your body is doing its very best to keep you alive and well. Previous work on your condition may have had benefits which are not apparent yet, so don't lose heart!
However, if you're not ready, or willing to address the underlying situation which has manifested as these symptoms, then there is a good chance you will not get well, whatever the therapy.
Sometimes a person 'surfs' therapies, moving from one to another, without any real intention of change. Without change, there cannot be healing, of that I am certain. It has been said that people fear change more than they fear death!
Nobody wants to feel ill; however, it can feel good to be looked after, given attention, or time off from unpleasant tasks. Are you invested in your illness at all? Or could it be that you have been unwell for so long, you can't even remember the person you were when you were healthy?
******************************************
If you have tried many therapies and nothing works, it may be time to look inward, at yourself. Only you can begin the process to heal your body. It may have been hidden for a long time, but the power to heal is still within you!

"Our body, the body that has the wisdom to replace all its worn-out blood cells after a week and to replace itself fully every seven years, without any help, deserves our full respect. Even more remarkable, it is so intelligent that it will tell where it has a problem and also how to solve the problem - at least if you have learned how to listen to it."
