Energetic Kinesiology is a complementary alternative healing therapy that uses calming and muscle testing techniques to unlock and assess the wisdom of your body to find information about physical/ structural symptoms and mental/ emotional conditions. Muscle monitoring is used to detect imbalances in tissues or organs and to indentify how stress impacts on your body.

In today’s fast paced society we continuously expose our bodies to stress. The endless list of stress factors trigger a fight flight response in our endocrine system that releases adrenaline and cortisol, and simultaneously reduces the digestive and immune system. Ongoing overuse of this fight flight response is nowadays recognized to be the leading cause for depression.

One of the most important benefits of Kinesiology is its ability for reducing external and internal stress in your physical and mental state and creating the balance you need.

Body Talk addresses stress by looking to better the management and distribution of stress in the body. One thing we can do with BodyTalk is to reduce the belief systems that inhibit a healthy relationship with our environments. Perhaps the biggest part of mitigating stress, however, involves helping people manage it themselves by making them aware of the areas in their life where stress triggers can be found.

Every thought process has an associated biochemical reaction in the body as well as a neural map. These lead to our habituated reactions to life. Changing our thinking or detaching from thoughts will alter our biochemistry and neuroanatomy.

BodyTalk Treatments address pathological Belief Systems which amplify stress in relationship, work and different aspects of life through Active memory technique and through consciousness work.
