Hi everyone 😊

I’m Tamara, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and what I do.

Have you ever felt like you are doing all the right things but your body still feels off. Do you feel stuck, tired, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself?

That is often where I meet people.

Kinesiology looks at how the body and nervous system respond to stress, emotions, and lived experience. One of the key ways we understand what is going on in the body is through the biofeedback mechanism, which helps highlight where the system may be under stress or out of balance.

Kinesiology isn't about quick fixes or surface level solutions. It's about listening to what the body has been holding onto, including stress patterns, emotional load, and long standing imbalances, and working with the body in a way that supports regulation and balance. The root cause.

If you have tried doing all the right things and still feel stuck, there is usually something deeper happening beneath the surface, and this is where kinesiology can be supportive.

Kinesiology is based on Chinese Medicine and therefore the meridian system. Meridians are energy pathways described in traditional Chinese medicine and increasingly explored in modern research around fascia, nervous system communication, and the body’s bioelectrical processes. In practice, they help us understand how stress can show up in different areas of the body and how to support a more balanced flow.

My sessions are calm, supportive, and focused on helping your system settle so you can feel more grounded, clear, and like yourself again.

If this resonates with you or you are simply curious, feel free to reach out or say hello 😊

"It’s been 1 week since my session with Tamara and what an amazing session it was. I have had a case of lockjaw for about 3 months. My chiro has been trying to help, my dentist told me I need to talk to a counsellor but I wasn’t sure what I needed to talk about. Then I remembered that I saw a chiro who also was a kinesiologist 20 odd years ago who always bought amazing results.

One quick look around and I found Tamara! The session made so much sense, even though I wasn’t sure what was going to come up! I can highly recommend Tamara, the day after my session an external presenter came into my work and said you have a glow, I want what you have! For the last week I have felt amazing, I have also been able to chew food and it hasn’t hurt, my jaw feels the best it has in months! I’m keen for another session.

Thank you Tamara for your healing gift ❤️"

Mary (name changed for privacy reasons) had hives for 8 months. She'd been to numerous doctors who had given her tablets and done a large number of blood tests yet no one could work out why they wouldn't go away and worst of all, they didn't go away!

I was recommended to Mary by a friend of hers so she came to see because she was desperate to give anything a try.

During our session I went through my normal processes of testing the muscles to see where the imbalances lay in her body. During these checks and through a series of questions, I found that part of her nutrition process (six steps to healthy nutrition) was "out of whack". The Assimilation step was out. Assimilation is the passing of the nutrient through the walls of the cells.

Once we found this was the issue, we worked on exploring the options for Mary to help her cell walls allow the passing of nutrients through. Through further muscle testing, we discovered that although Mary was consuming some EFA (essential fatty acids), she needed another one in particular that would help with the assimilation more.

Omega-9!
Coconut oil and coconut milk/cream.

A lightbulb went on in Mary's head! "When I was working in town I used to do a late shift every couple of weeks and I would pick up a Thai curry on the way home which I would eat over two nights. I stopped doing that about 8 months ago!"

Mary's homework is to reintroduce coconut back into her diet.

Most of the time, our body knows the answers and it is telling us the information - we just need some help in listening and understanding it's language.

By the time Mary walked out of my office, her spots had faded considerably. Having the awareness and the knowledge can make a HUGE difference to our bodies.

Message me if you'd like to discuss any issues you're or to find out more of how kinesiology can help you.

Years go by, and you're stuck, trying to work out why you can't do the things you want to do. Is it work, kids, partners, lack of motivation? Who are you?

You sit there at night, wondering where the time went, how did you lose yourself? Where did you go? What will you do next? How do you grow?

You can't put your finger on it, that hidden part of you. You know she's there and you'd love some help bringing her back to life. You want to bloom.

Sessions are $130 each or you can purchase a three session package for $330 (a savings of $60).

I help women over 40 who have spent years caring for everyone else, reconnect with themselves.

Through one on one sessions using applied kinesiology and practical stress release techniques, I support you to uncover emotional blocks, limiting beliefs, and old patterns that are keeping you stuck.

My work helps you feel lighter, clearer, and more certain about who you are, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence, and create a life that feels meaningful and aligned.

Due to a need to move to a new place, my brother needs to rehome his pets as he can't take them with him. We are not able to take them in for him.

If you or someone you know can help please let me know.

All three are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and house trained, although Buddy (dog) is kept outside in his kennel/yard.

Buddy - Greyhound x Bull-Mastiff, he is super friendly, loves people, 6 years old.

EJ - Tabby x Tortoise Shell, he's a senior cat at 15 years old, also loves people's attention.

Squeak (can't meow - makes squeak sounds) Birman x Burmese, he's 7, he's a rescue, very timid.

It's preferable they stay together but understand it might not be possible.

I’m offering a small number of one-on-one sessions at a reduced rate for women who feel tired in a way rest doesn’t seem to fix.

The work I do focuses on how emotional stress lives in the body. What we don’t have time or safety to process doesn’t disappear, it often settles into places like the hips, lower back, and deep core.

Over time, this can feel like constant tension, fatigue, or a sense of always bracing, even when life looks fine on the outside.

If you’re a woman over 40 who has spent years pushing through, caring for others, or holding it all together, your body may be asking for something different.

Sessions are available in person (Ipswich, QLD) or remotely.

Places are limited so this work can be held with care.

If this speaks to you, comment “rest” and I’ll send you the booking link with the discount code.

Sessions are discounted from $130 to $70.

We’re now officially moving from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Horse, and if I’m honest, it feels exactly like the shift we’ve been sensing under the surface these past few weeks.

Last year carried that Snake energy of shedding, and I know for so many of us it wasn't dramatic or loud, it was quiet and internal. It was the slow peeling away of identities we had outgrown, the realisation that certain roles no longer fit, the acknowledgement that some coping strategies had done their job and could finally be released. It might have felt flat at times, maybe even heavy, like nothing much was happening. But so much was happening. The letting go was creating space, even if you couldn't yet see what would fill it.

And now the Horse steps in.

I love the symbolism of the Horse because she is not here to push or punish or demand perfection. She is a companion. She is strength and movement and momentum, but she is also deeply responsive. A horse does not override the nervous system of the rider. She mirrors it. She amplifies it. If you approach her grounded and steady, she meets you there. If you're tense and unsure, she feels that too.

That feels very much like the energy of this year.

If you meet it with intention, if you take the time to steady yourself and reconnect with your own inner knowing, this energy can carry you in ways you couldn't manage on your own. There is forward motion available now. There is fire. There is expansion. But it asks something of you in return. It asks you to trust yourself. It asks you not to shrink back into the skin you just shed.

And I think that is the beautiful part. The Snake prepared you. The quiet months, even the flat ones, weren't wasted time. They were strengthening your awareness. They were teaching you what no longer fits. They were bringing you back to yourself.

The Horse now says, alright, let’s move.

Not in a frantic way, prove-yourself way.

In a purposeful way.

When you soften your grip, breathe deeply, and sit tall in who you are becoming, this energy works with you. It carries you, and amplifies your clarity instead of your fear.

When you allow that partnership to happen, it can feel exhilarating. Because you're no longer fighting yourself as you move forward.

Can you feel it?

I’ve been reflecting on the energy of this year, and the more I think about it, the more optimistic I feel. We are moving into the year of the Fire Horse, which is traditionally associated with courage, momentum, visibility, and purposeful action. It is dynamic energy. It encourages movement, leadership, and a willingness to step forward with confidence rather than hesitation.

At the same time, the first part of this year, has carried more of the Wood Snake influence. Snake energy is not loud or dramatic. It is thoughtful and introspective. It asks us to release what no longer fits, even if we have been carrying it for years. If the beginning of the year has felt slower, flatter, or more reflective than you expected, it could mean you have been shedding old layers in preparation for something new.

Letting go rarely comes with fireworks or big external shifts. More often, it shows up as quiet awareness. It can look like noticing that certain patterns no longer serve you, recognising where you have outgrown old roles, or feeling ready to loosen your grip on expectations that once felt necessary. That kind of inner work is not always visible, but it creates space.

As the Fire Horse energy gathers strength, there is a natural invitation to move forward with greater clarity and intention. The shedding creates room, and the Horse brings the momentum to step into that space with purpose. If these early months have felt steady rather than spectacular, perhaps they have been laying the foundation. Rather than holding you back, they may have been preparing you for a year of more confident, aligned action.

In 2016, my brother had a motorcycle accident which resulted in him completely shattering the ball in his shoulder and having 11 pins and a plate put in his shoulder/arm. His pain levels had been high and his movement (range of motion) minimal.

I did a few Kinesiology balances on him a few years later.

He went home with no pain in any area except for a dull ache in his shoulder "ball" where he said he had sharp nerve pain previously. He had previously had limited movement in his arm when lifting it due to the intense pain he was experiencing (living on pain killers).

He got off my table without a thought to the pain killers he'd put on my desk (He was going to take them before the balance and I'd asked him to please wait until I'd finished).

He was able to lift his arm an additional 2 to 3 inches before any pain started. He could hold his cat and pat it's head where he couldn't before.

I hope this all makes sense. He became a believer in Kinesiology and I was so happy at the results he had.

If you're looking for some help with range of movement, it doesn't have to be a result of an accident, you could simply need more movement in your body, then book with me. I'm open and taking clients again ❤️

Did you know that peppermint essential oil diluted with water can remove and reduce the film that appears on the inside of your windscreen?

I discovered this a few years ago in a moment of desperation when I couldn't see through the glare. The only liquid I had with me at the time was my peppermint spray (which I use to help regulate my body temperature).

I didn't have to do it again for months!

IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ENERGY HEALING METHODS LIKE REIKI, OR TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE LIKE ACUPUNCTURE THEN YOU HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO SOME OF THE CONCEPTS THAT KINESIOLOGY WORKS WITH. IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THAT KINESIOLOGY USES MUSCLE MOVEMENT TO MAKE ASSESSMENTS OF THE CLIENTS STATE OF WELLBEING AND A SESSION IS HIGHLY INTERACTIVE, GIVING THE CLIENT AUTONOMY OVER HOW MUCH OR HOW LITTLE THEY WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON WITHIN A SESSION.

Kinesiology uses gentle muscle-monitoring techniques (the bodies inbuilt biofeedback system) to access the subconscious mind (where all of the body processes and experiences are stored- it’s like a tape recorder that never stops recording) here we gain accurate information about your current issues and what is needed to help your body, mind and spirit to restore balance and a greater level of function, it is for this reason a Kinesiology Session is often referred to as a “Balance”.

Throughout the Balance the Kinesiologist is simply a guide that has the Map and Tools to help the Client discover more about their internal and external world. This results in; raising self-awareness, awareness of others, and empowering you to facilitate change far more easily, with your own body, mind and spirit aligned to your success.
