Have you always wanted to study Kinesiology? ✨
This might be the perfect time to start!

Next year, I’m teaching Principles of Kinesiology (POK) 1–4 for the first time here in the Murwillumbah training room through - with an online option if you’re not local.

This series includes four 2-day weekend workshops, running from March to June 2026, starting on March 15th.

There are no prerequisites - just a curiosity and an interest in learning how the body’s energetic systems work.

These workshops will give you a solid foundation if you plan to pursue a practitioner qualification, and they also stand alone as a practical skill set you can use with family, friends, or in your current health-based professional practice.

DETAILS

👉🏻 Murwillumbah / Online
👉🏻 $400 per workshop ($1600 total)
👉🏻 No prerequisites
✨ Flexible payment options available

In these trainings, you’ll learn:

🌟 The structure of the energetic anatomy and how we access it ✨

🌟 How muscle testing works, and how meridians, chakras, emotions, and organs link together ✨

🌟 A deeper level of TCM theory than most intro courses, including the 8 extraordinary meridians, divergent channels, connecting channels, and muscle meridians ✨

🌟 A level of understanding that will give you an exceptionally strong base for further study and allowing you to integrate kinesiology into modalities such as naturopathy, nutrition, massage, craniosacral therapy, bodywork, psychology, counselling, fitness/PT, yoga, and more ✨

If you’re curious but not ready for a four-month commitment, you can start with my one-day “Explore Kinesiology” training.
It’s pre-recorded, self-paced, around six hours of content, and available on the NK Institute Thinkific platform for $250.

Send me a message or comment POK and I’ll be in touch!

CANINE KINESIOLOGY 🐾✨

UPCOMING DATES!

Saturday 15th November
Saturday 29th November
Saturday 13th December

Did you know your dog’s body can “talk”?

Through gentle muscle testing, kinesiology reveals where stress or imbalance is being held in the nervous system and energy field - whether physical, emotional, biochemical or spiritual.

This can show up as:

🐕 Anxiety or trauma that doesn’t resolve

🐕 Behavioural challenges that don’t shift with training alone

🐕 Chronic health conditions, pain, or discomfort

🐕 Recovery support after illness or injury

🐶 OR it can simply be a beautiful way to support overall health, happiness and vitality.

Kinesiology isn’t about “fixing” your dog.

It’s about listening deeply, releasing stress, and supporting their natural healing - so they can return to balance.

💗 And when your dog feels better, the whole family benefits.

There’s something truly special about understanding your dog on a deeper level - knowing the emotions they’re holding, why they’re showing certain behaviours, and how to support them with more clarity and ease!

✨ Sessions are $110 for 60 minutes
🌸 Includes a personalised vibrational essence to take home to support integration.

Book online via www.creativelifehealth.com/workingwithanimals or send me a message to book your end of year spot! 🐾✨

SPRING
Grounding, Renewal & Rising 🪵🌸🌱✨

Spring is often seen as a time of awakening - the yang energy rising, life waking up, the light-filled longer days returning after the contraction of winter.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is the season of the Wood element, representing the plant kingdom - from the plants that we eat, to the new growth emerging, to ancient trees and root systems.

This is a season of growth, movement, and new beginnings. Just as the world bursts back into colour, our own chi (vital force) begins to lift and expand after the quiet, introspective stillness of winter.

This is why Spring feels so good!

Wood embodies vision, flexibility, and vitality. It’s the energy of the liver and gallbladder, the organs that govern the smooth flow of chi and our capacity to plan, decide, and take inspired action. When our Wood energy is balanced, we feel creative, motivated, and adaptable - able to grow toward our goals like a tree reaching for the sun!

When Wood energy stagnates - from stress, frustration, or too much confinement - we can feel irritable, tense, or stuck, both physically (tight muscles, headaches, digestive issues) and emotionally.

So Spring represents a time to get grounded and re-establish exactly how we want to grow and move forward.

This is the time to support your digestion, detoxification pathways, eat lots of plants, and process and release everything you’ve experienced over the last 12 months - the pain, the changes, the disappointments, the achievements - the good and the bad.

From a renewed place of perspective, wisdom and stability, this energy can be channelled into new direction, clear decisions and forward motion.

📷 Magical moments captured by me this Spring 🌸✨

A big dose of protein in the morning (25–40 grams) can make a huge difference to mood, energy, and satiety.

There are lots of ways to get there: eggs, yoghurt, cheese, protein powder, or leftover chicken, fish, or meat. (My personal favourite is chicken soup.)

As yummy as chia pudding is, it’s not a protein breakfast on its own. A standard serve of chia seeds gives only about 5 grams of protein.

You can bump that up slightly with almond milk (+1 g) or nuts (+3–5 g), or make it genuinely high-protein by adding protein powder. But in that case, the protein is from the powder, not the chia seeds.

And just a quick ps: there’s essentially no protein in coconut milk or coconut yoghurt. 🥥

CANINE HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS

🐾 Is your dog tired, anxious, aggressive - or just “not themselves”?

🐾 Or maybe they’re itchy, allergic, or facing chronic health issues… endless vet visits, but no clear answers?

✨ It might be their minerals.

Canine Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a gentle, non-invasive test using a small sample of your dog’s fur.

Unlike blood tests (a moment-in-time snapshot), HTMA reveals long-term patterns - showing the hidden stress, toxicities, and imbalances that quietly affect your dog’s energy, mood, digestion, and skin.

💡 HTMA can reveal:
– Nutritional imbalances invisible to blood work
– Early signs of stress or adrenal fatigue
– Heavy metal exposure (mercury, aluminium, arsenic)
– A personalised roadmap for your dog’s vitality

🌱 Dogs today face constant stressors: processed foods, chemical preventatives, over-vaccination, environmental toxins. HTMA helps us see beneath the surface before symptoms escalate.

👉 HTMA is ideal if your dog is:
– Struggling with skin, gut, or behaviour issues
– Low in energy or showing stress
– Entering a new life stage (puppy, senior, post-desexing)
– Preparing for or recovering from pregnancy
– Or simply in need of a holistic health check-in

✨ Investment: $295

You’ll receive your dog’s full HTMA report + email summary, with a personalised treatment plan.

🔗 In conjunction with personalised dietary guidance available through (booked separately).

💌 DM me BALANCE to learn more or book your dog’s test.
