Frequently Asked Questions

What is Emotions & Metaphysical Kinesiology?

Emotions & Metaphysical Kinesiology is a gentle yet powerful modality that uses gentle muscle testing to tap into the body’s innate wisdom.

It helps identify energetic imbalances, emotional stress, and limiting patterns stored in the body, and supports you in releasing what no longer serves — bringing you back into alignment on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

What can I expect during a Kinesiology session?

Each session is unique and intuitively guided. We’ll begin with a chat about your intention or anything you’d like support with and collaboratively create a powerful goal to work with. This is an important part of the process, where the magic is already happening. Many of my clients explain that they feel so much better even from this first part of the session alone.

You then lie down full clothed and face up on a massage table, keeping your eyes open for the most part as this is a collaborative healing session where we’re bringing the unconscious to the conscious. If it is your first session, I will demonstrate and explain what muscle testing is, which essentially involves having your right arm at a 45 degree angle and me lightly touching on this and resetting the muscle as we continue working with this throughout the session. 

Light touch is involved throughout the session as I test specific things to check if they are balanced or currently out of balance. For example, your nervous system by touching the back of the neck/base of the skull lightly. If this results in an indicator change or your arm unlocking, then this is your body guiding me to what is needed to bring you back into balance so that healing can occur. 

I use muscle testing to identify any energetic blocks and imbalances, using a variety of tools and healing remedies such as acupressure, crystals, sound healing, colour, affirmations and more. 

There may be homework that is needed to do after the session, such as an activity, or using a particular affirmation like your goal or something else for a specific period of time. I write all this down for you and we check in about this at the start of your next session. 

In the beginning, I recommend having sessions approximately every 4 weeks to get the most benefit from this work. Over time, the time in between sessions is longer, however, trust that you will know what you need and there is never any pressure from me on this.

What is Spinal Energetics?

Spinal Energetics is a transformative therapeutic approach that works with the spine, nervous system and energy field to help release stored tension, emotions, and stress. It combines Eastern and Western wisdom, drawing from chiropractic, somatic healing, energy work, and ancient practices, to restore flow, alignment, and balance within the body.

Through light touch and energetic connection, the body is guided to naturally release what it’s holding onto. This can look like subtle movements, emotional releases, or energetic shifts as your system unwinds and returns to a more harmonious state. It’s not about forcing change, but creating the conditions for your body to naturally realign, release, and restore its vitality. Unlike traditional chiropractic, Spinal Energetics does not involve manual manipulation or adjustment of the spine. 

Using gentle touch and energy work, the sessions support your body to release, reconnect, and rebalance, often leaving you feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself.

What can I expect during a Spinal Energetics session?

We start by having a brief chat about where you’re at and any ailments or emotional stress you’ve been experiencing over a cup of herbal tea. 

From here, you lie face down fully clothed on a custom made massage table that is a bit more narrow than a usual massage table, and I will invite you to focus on your breath. 

I touch your neck, upper and lower back and pelvis using specific movements to assess tension patterns and you I will touch your feet and lift your legs at various stages throughout the session too. This is the way your body communicates which areas to work on. 

Music and sound are using in Spinal Energetics to support your nervous system and communicate with your body and direct energy. 

Using light touch I will work with different parts of your spine throughout the session, and your energy body and chakras to move and guide energy to release the root causation of any tension patterns. 

I do not talk all that much throughout the session, although I may invite you to bring awareness to certain parts of your body and your breath. There is nothing you need to do, other than relax and focus on your breath. 

I am not actively ‘working’ on you the whole time either, however, I am always holding space and allowing your body to integrate and unwind. 

You may experience movement, twitching, emotions or memories come up during the session, or you may not move at all and simply feel relaxed. Every session and every person varies. The focus of our session is always connection over movement. Some of the most profound Spinal Energetics sessions I’ve had have been those where I’ve barely moved at all. Movement is just one of the ways that our bodies process what we need to. 

After the session is finished we have some time to help ground you back into your body and the space and discuss anything that you noticed throughout the session. 

In the beginning, we recommend having sessions every 2-3 weeks to get the most benefit from this work. Over time, the time in between sessions is longer, however, trust that you will know what you need and there is never any pressure from me on this.

What’s the difference between Kinesiology and Spinal Energectics?

Kinesiology uses muscle testing as a tool to uncover imbalances and uses a broad toolkit to realign your energy and emotions. 

Spinal Energetics works with the spine and the energy field, it supports the release of stored tension, helps regulate the nervous system, and restores deep connection and alignment within both your physical and energetic bodies. 

Both are deeply nourishing – they simply work in different ways and are very complementary.

Can I have a session if I’m pregnant?

Short answer – Yes for Kinesiology, no for Spinal Energetics. 

Longer answer – Emotions and Metaphysical Kinesiology is a beautiful modality during pregnancy as it’s gentle and tailored to the individual and supports emotional well being, helps to reduce stress and restore balance. It is gentle, non-invasive, and safe for pregnancy. 

Also, depending on the stage of your pregnancy, this can be completed in a seated position as your comfort is most important. 

Sessions can be a beautiful way to support your nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and connection to your baby during this sacred time. We  just avoid using certain acupressure points and remedies like specific essential oils with pregnant clients. 

Please let me know you’re pregnant or trying to conceive when booking so I can tailor the session accordingly.

It is important to note that Spinal Energetics is not suitable during the first and final trimester of pregnancy, or during six months of postpartum, therefore I do not do Spinal Energetics sessions with clients at all at this time. Please see above for more details. 

Do you offer animal kinesiology?

Yes, I do! Animal kinesiology can help your beloved pet with emotional stress, behavioural challenges, and energetic imbalances. 

Sessions are completed online with a surrogate method and can be deeply supportive to your furry companion’s wellbeing. Please reach out if you are interested in booking a session as these sessions are arranged upon request. 

Can I have a session if I’m not local?

Absolutely! All of my sessions are available remotely online via Google Meet.

Energy knows no bounds – while I was a sceptic at first, I have found that online sessions are just as powerful and supportive as in-person ones if not more. 

How do I prepare for my session?

Booking in for a session is the first step and I find that the magic is already happening from the moment you book in.

I recommend coming with an open heart and a willingness to shift. Wear comfortable clothing, and feel free to bring a journal if you’d like to note anything after your session. 

It’s also helpful to stay hydrated and don’t plan too much for before and after, as we’re working deeply with your energy systems.
