International Kinesiology Week, Day 5. Favourite tool. Is my hand a tool? But without it I’m not going to be doing any muscle testing and muscle response testing the basis for every session. And then holding acupoints. Emphasising communication with my hands!

International Kinesiology Week, Day 4! Today’s prompt is about inspiration and I am most inspired by community. Being a part of a group of likeminded people who inspire by doing what they do, and supporting me (and others) in what I do. There will be someone you look at and you want to be more like them but also there is someone watching you wanting to be more like you.

International Kinesiology Week, Day 3! My clinic space is very special to me. I’ve worked from for 9 years. Before then I’d worked from home but working from a clinic changed everything. I felt more professional, the space was dedicated to what I do, I was more visible and I had colleagues - cannot overstate how valuable it is having people around who understand what it’s like to be a self employed practitioner. How my room looks and feels is part of the session. I still love it when people see my room for the first time and say how lovely it is and shoulders drop, there is a tangible relaxing and healing begins there and then. (My young client here decided her bear needed some kinesiology too!)

International Kinesiology Week, Day 2. I’ve been moved by many moments. I’ve heard so many stories of people moving through something they never thought they could, seeing clients make realisations as I sit there and listen. Our physical body is the museum of our life - it carries the memories - good and bad, the scars, the experiences… and all of it is valid. It makes us who we are. And sometimes we need to curate that space, decide what is no longer serving us, the old hobby that got pushed to the back room and needs dusting off and remembering. Some old shame that needs to be brought to light, addressed and understood.

International Kinesiology Week, Day One. Why Kinesiology? Like many, I’d never heard of kinesiology until I first heard of it! I’d never tried a holistic therapy before and I went along desperately in need of something but with no real expectation of anything. It’s easy to say something has changed your life but this was one of those moments (and there have been a few). I was suddenly more aware of myself, who I was, what I was capable of, that I was powerful and self sufficient. It kick started a desire to train in kinesiology to help others but, in fact, so much of it has been about me - the more I learned about me, the more healing I did, the better I became as a practitioner, the more complex my client’s issues and the better the results from my work. 19 years in and I still love the power of this simple technique - using muscle response testing to see where the body is holding stress and then allowing the body the space to release that stress. Beautiful.

‘Narcissistic’ gets used a lot these days but we all have some narcissistic tendencies (a spectrum we are all on!). This post excellently explains the range of how this may be expressed.

A lot of people hear the word narcissism and imagine one extreme caricature. But psychologically, it’s more like a spectrum.

At the healthy end, narcissism simply reflects a stable sense of self worth. The ability to feel proud of your accomplishments. The belief that your voice matters. In that form, it actually supports confidence, resilience, and healthy relationships.

The problems start when someone’s sense of worth becomes dependent on admiration, control, or superiority. What began as normal self-regard slowly shifts into insecurity that has to be constantly defended.

That’s why narcissism isn’t really about loving yourself too much. It’s about what happens when a fragile identity needs constant reinforcement from the outside.

Understanding the spectrum helps us move the conversation past labels and toward something more useful: recognizing patterns, protecting our wellbeing, and understanding where behavior is coming from.

Hope this helps 🌈

For those days when we think we need to be perfect or have everything figured out. When we’ve come a hundred miles but still feel we are where we started (we are not!). The human experience is what it’s all about! Embrace it and be kind to yourself.

This diddy tyke turned 17 this week! Amazing! And I baked another birthday cake (spider-man themed! I won’t show you a picture but it was well received!!). Gratuitous use of a baby photo for my post as I don’t have one of a cat!

Wanted to record here what an incredible week it has been for client work. I don’t think I’ve had a week with so many gifts and so much feedback. 2 regular clients blew me away with their realisations and growth - like, I was properly in awe. A teenager whose week did a 180. Always good to have a new client who doesn’t know quite what happened in the session but felt the benefit all the same. I’ve stopped trying to explain the magick of energy and just letting it speak for itself. And I continue to be amazed myself how this gentle movement of emotions, thoughts and feelings can make such profound differences.

And I’m grateful to experience that magick myself as I move through uncharted territory, exploring my own growth these past 6 months. Proud of how far I’ve come.
