Inner Child Work and No, Its Not About Blaming Your Parents! “Heal your inner child” has been a buzz phrase for a while now. It sounds lovely, but also slightly suspicious. So what is it exactly? Is it lying on the floor, crying about your childhood? Is it blaming your parents for everything from your coffee addiction to your fear of commitment?
No. And definitely no.

So What Is Inner Child Work, Really?

Inner child work is about recognising that parts of us are still running old emotional programs, often written when we were small, vulnerable humans just doing our best.

It’s about healing old emotional wounds, meeting unmet needs from childhood, and bringing compassion to younger parts of ourselves so that we don’t keep reacting like a 6-year-old in a grown-up body.

When done well, inner child work leads to better emotional regulation, healthier adult behaviour, improved self-esteem and fewer “Why did I react like that?” moments.

So no, it’s not about blaming your parents. Most parents did the best they could with what they knew at the time.

Why It Matters More Than We Think

Unresolved childhood patterns don’t disappear. They just get better outfits and adult responsibilities.

They often show up as:
• Big reactions to small things
• Repeating relationship patterns
• Self-sabotage
• Anxiety, stress or people-pleasing

And here’s the twist. Some of the patterns we’re most praised for, like being too helpful, saying yes to everything, putting everyone else first, often come from childhood trauma too!

Inner Child Work Is About Change, Not Just Insight

This work isn’t about staying stuck in the wounded part of yourself. It’s about understanding your unconscious patterns and changing them. Awareness is a great first step, but recognising the patterns, and changing those patterns is what is needed. This results in you being less reactive, more centred, more present and frankly, a nice human to live with. And who doesnt need that!

How Kinesiopractic® Does This Differently

In Kinesiopractic®, we don’t just talk about inner child work, we work with it practically. Our EMS (Emotional & Mental Stress) modules are designed to access unconscious emotional patterns, bring them into awareness, release emotional charge, practise how you want to be and behave, and these modules help to support genuine change and choice.
This process allows for re-parenting, where the inner child is finally seen, supported and integrated in the present time. The result is more grounded practitioners, more authentic humans and better choices both personally and professionally.

Why our Students Love This Work

Our students:
• Discover lifelong patterns they didn’t even know were running
• Are supported to do the work for themselves first
• Learn skills that transform their own relationships, parenting, work and life
• Gain confidence in helping clients heal and grow

So, Is Inner Child Work real and necessary? Short answer: Yes. Absolutely. Long answer: It’s one of the most powerful ways to create real, lasting change. And when you learn to do it well, with skill, clarity and respect, it changes lives. Starting with your own!

This is what makes Kinesiopractic® such an extraordinary course. You’re not learning “techniques”, you’re learning how to listen, to bodies, to systems, to signals that don’t come from the conscious mind.

Are you ready to start a whole new career and learn how to live better and help others to do the same while earning a good income well into your old age?

ENROLL NOW. Our courses start early in 2026 in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kzn, George and Tesselaarsdal.

Think Kinesiopractic® is all love, light and woo-woo? Think again Yes, we work with energy — but we are deeply practical.

Level 1 is about getting the foundations rock solid.

Students learn accurate muscle testing, clear protocols, the Chinese meridian system, pain and food testing, plus ethics, active listening and history taking and so much more over 12 modules.
In short: everything you need to get the basics right and start working with confidence.

From Level 2 onwards, things get exciting.

Yes, we explore chakras, crystals, essences and sound and we dive deeply into hands-on, body-based work:

• Muscle, arm, hand, hip, leg and foot protocols
• TMJ and injury memory work stored in muscles
• Detoxification and food energetics
• Adrenal balancing and food sensitivities
• Emotional work around beliefs, self-talk, sabotage and inner child patterns

One standout unit focuses on hip and spinal balancing, often creating profound shifts for sciatic pain, sometimes in just one session.

This is why Kinesiopractic® is unlike any other modality.

Sessions are guided by the client’s own body through muscle testing, ensuring each session is precise, personalised and powerful.

And the magic? Students work through everything for themselves first. The healing, clarity and growth students experience becomes the wisdom they later share with clients.

Practical. Powerful. Life-changing — for clients and for our students.

This is what makes Kinesiopractic® such an extraordinary course. You’re not learning “techniques”, you’re learning how to listen, to bodies, to systems, to signals that don’t come from the conscious mind.

Ready to step into balance? Ready to start a whole new career and learn how to live differently and help others to do the same while earning a good income well into your old age?

ENROLL NOW. Our courses start early in 2026 in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kzn, George and Tesselaarsdal.

WHY CRYSTALS? (And No, It’s Not Just a Hippie Thing)

So why do hippies, and other weirdos (and secretly quite a few engineers) have a thing for crystals and gemstones? Is it Pseudo-science, or pure belief, or just really pretty rocks we like to collect?

Let’s start with something we can all agree on - Everything is vibration.

As Albert Einstein famously said, “Everything in life is vibration.” And Nikola Tesla added, “If you want to understand the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Which sounds suspiciously like something a crystal lover would say, except they were physicists.

So What Does This Have to Do With Crystals?

Everything vibrates:
• The earth
• The wind
• Fire
• Water
• You
• Your thoughts (yes, even that anxious inner monologue)

Crystals and gemstones are believed to work by focusing vibrational energy. Every object has its own energetic pattern and magnetic polarity. Crystals just happen to be exceptionally stable, organised, and consistent in theirs. In other words, they hold their frequency very well. (Unlike humans before coffee!)

Not Just Beautiful, Actually Useful!

Crystals don’t work by “magic”. They work at the level of subtle energetic systems, which feed down into the physical body.

They’re used to:
• Support physical wellbeing
• Enhance concentration and inspiration
• Support intuition and meditation
• Help restore balance at a very foundational level

And before you roll your eyes, here’s the fun part. Your phone uses crystals and your watch and radios, lasers, and electronics! So clearly, crystals are already running your life. You may as well use them consciously.

Where Kinesiopractic® Comes In (And Why This Matters)

Here’s the difference between owning crystals and working intelligently with them. In a Kinesiopractic® session, we don’t guess: we muscle test. That means finding which crystal is actually supportive for this client or student at this moment. And just as importantly, muscle testing allows the Kinesiopractor® to find out when not to use a crystal, when it would not be in the best interest of the client or student. Because yes, timing and appropriateness matter.

Why Students Love This Unit

Students consistently tell us this is one of their favourite areas of learning because they:
• Learn the science behind gemstones
• Build a practical crystal kit
• Gain confidence using crystals ethically with clients
• Learn discernment - not everything is for everyone, all the time (Which is a life skill, really.)

More Than Techniques — This Is About Listening

This is what makes Kinesiopractic® such an extraordinary course. You’re not learning a bag of tricks. You’re learning how to listen: to bodies, to systems, to subtle signals that don’t come from the thinking mind. And sometimes, those signals arrive via a weird, wonderful, beautiful stone gifted to us by Mother Earth. And honestly, how cool is that?

Enrol in the 2026 Kinesiopractic® Level 1 Intake and give your future self a life worth thanking you for.

“Are you trying to relax but your nervous system didnt get the memo?
Ah yes, the holiday season. That magical time when we’re supposed to relax, put our feet up, sip something festive and “just switch off.” If you’re a Type A personality, a problem-solver, a fixer, a do-er, or someone whose nervous system thinks “relax” is a foreign language, this might sound wildly unrealistic. Because for many people, rest itself becomes stressful.

When your mind and body are used to being “on” all the time, solving every crisis (real or imagined) rushing from one thing to the next, slowing down can feel like another thing you’re failing at. The mind keeps racing. The body stays braced. Sleep becomes optional. And the adrenals? They stay on high alert, just in case. Work/life balance sounds lovely, achieving it is another story.

When Stress Becomes ‘Normal’
Here’s the tricky part: Many people living in chronic stress don’t realise they’re stressed. This has simply become their normal. Perhaps it’s how they’ve lived for years, and possibly their whole life. So how do you recognise stress when it feels familiar?

Often, it shows up in our reactions. Everything feels urgent, now, or preferably yesterday, small things trigger big emotional responses, slowing down feels uncomfortable or unsafe, rest doesn’t restore, it irritates. The body has become so conditioned to scanning for danger that even when none exists, stress hormones continue to circulate and over time, real physical damage occurs.

How Stress Shows Up
Stress doesn’t just live in the mind. It affects the whole system.

Emotionally & mentally, stress can show up as:
• Anxiety and irritability
• Overthinking and racing thoughts
• Difficulty concentrating
• Poor or broken sleep

Physically, it may appear as:
• Headaches and muscle tension
• Digestive issues
• Lowered immunity
• Chronic fatigue or pain

Long-term stress is also linked to more serious health conditions, including cardiovascular issues, chronic pain, and mental health challenges. Add to this modern life, long work hours, financial pressure, constant digital stimulation, and it’s no wonder so many of us feel like we never truly switch off. For some, stress and anxiety patterns are even genetically or environmentally learned, modelled by parents and reinforced over time.

A Helpful Analogy
A dear friend and integrative medical practitioner once explained it beautifully to me. Your adrenal glands are like the person in the airport control tower. Their job is to assess situations accurately and respond appropriately. But when you are chronically stressed, your adrenals react as if you need to send the ambulance, fire engine, surgeon and ICU nurse for a small paper cut when a plaster will do. In chronic stress, the body reacts as if everything is an emergency. Every situation feels urgent and overwhelming. Disaster always feels just around the corner. So, what can you do?

Some Powerful Starting Points
Practice the pause. Before responding, take a moment. Breathe in… breathe out… repeat.
Meditate (yes, that thing) After years of trying, I now meditate for at least 40 minutes daily, and I feel the difference profoundly. You don’t need to start there. Begin with 5 minutes. Work up to 10 or 15. You can thank me later!

Get professional support that works with the whole system. Our qualified, internationally recognised Kinesiopractors® use muscle testing as biofeedback to identify and correct stress imbalances in the body.

Through this holistic approach, we:
• Address emotional, mental, and physical stress
• Identify root causes such as past events or limiting beliefs
• Balance adrenal energy
• Calm the nervous system
• Release emotional charge
• Restore energetic balance
• Improve overall well-being

This isn’t about “coping better”, it’s about bringing the body back into balance so it no longer lives in survival mode.

Why Kinesiopractic® Is So Effective for Stress & Anxiety
PKP™ Kinesiology treats the body as a whole. It considers physical health, emotional health, mental health and spiritual health. Few modalities truly integrate all these layers, but kinesiology does.
And did you know that it is also highly effective for children, helping with anxiety, learning challenges and food sensitivities? If you’re ready to move out of constant alertness and back into balance, kinesiology offers a gentle, powerful way forward. Your nervous system doesn’t need another to-do list. It needs safety, support, and regulation. And that is possible!

Ready to step out of survival mode and into balance? Book a kinesiology session with one of our qualified Kinesiopractors® and give your nervous system the support it’s been asking for. Your body knows the way, let’s help it remember.

Or start a whole new career and learn how to live differently and help others to do the same while earning a good income well into your old age. https://mailchi.mp/6d02537b589f/are-you-trying-to-relax-but-your-nervous-system-didnt-get-the-memo

We often wish for change, a better job, more energy, less stress, deeper connections, yet forget that transformation doesn’t arrive at our doorstep; it starts within us.

This quote remind us that growth begins the moment we stop waiting for life to improve and start being the improvement. But how do we actually do that? How do we shift patterns that feel hardwired, our habits, our thinking, even our emotional reactions?

That’s where Kinesiopractic® comes in. Through the language of the body, Kinesiopractic allows us to uncover the hidden programs that shape our behaviour, emotions, and even physical health. Every muscle test, every correction, every balance is a step toward self-awareness, a conversation with the body that reveals what the conscious mind often overlooks.

Our comprehensive Kinesiopractic® training empowers you with tools to:
Change negative self-image, self-talk, and self-sabotage patterns
Identify nutritional excesses and deficiencies and understand when supplements may be needed
Recognise and release the adverse effects of past or present experiences
Develop greater emotional intelligence and self-regulation
Clear deeply embedded amygdala emotions and trauma responses
Access and transform subconscious patterning that limits growth
Restore balance through a sequential health system that integrates body, mind, and energy
Identify and change limiting rules, prejudices, learned beliefs, and tribal patterns
Balance chakras and energy fields, and clear spiritual or energetic blocks
Each session and each learning experience helps you return to your natural state of harmony, the place where healing, clarity, and vitality coexist.

When we align thought, emotion, and physiology, we stop reacting to life and begin creating it. We move from wishing to being, from seeking balance to living it.

It’s time to stop wishing for better and start becoming it.

Join our next Kinesiopractic® Level 1 course, beginning early 2026 across our four South African campuses, and take the first step toward mastering the art of conscious, embodied transformation.

Because the best version of your life doesn’t come from hoping, it comes from healing!https://mailchi.mp/9e2a8ff9f968/join-our-next-kinesiopractic-level-1-course-enrolment-now-open

As we wrap up another year at the College (honestly, where did 2025 go?), I find myself pausing, really pausing, to look back. Back at the time spent with students, with colleagues, with my teachers, with family and friends and, most importantly, time spent reconnecting with myself (again!).

This year has asked a lot of me. After a life-threatening illness in 2024 and a remarkable healing journey, I walked into 2025 expecting “normal life” to return. But life had other plans, kinder, wiser, more insistent ones and, sometimes the asking was not so gentle! The lesson has been unmistakable, business and life as usual is no longer an option.

I’ve had to learn—at age 69, no less—to slow down, to be present, to choose myself first, to embody the very balance and self-care that I encourage in my students. And to step into a new way of working that honours both my energy and my years of experience.

This has not been easy. It’s deeply uncomfortable to step out of lifelong habits of giving, doing, holding, supporting. But change is simply another word for growth, and growth is the pulse of life. And growth always moves us toward truth. And this year, that “growing deeper” has involved learning how to balance the needs of the College with the needs of my own body and spirit. Some days, I managed beautifully. Other days, let’s just say there was room for improvement!

I know this hasn’t been the smoothest or easiest teaching year for staff or students. We faced disruptions. We navigated unexpected challenges. We stretched, adapted, and sometimes improvised more than we would have liked.

Yet despite this, we continued to support our students wholeheartedly and, in return, we were supported by them and, together, for the most part, we still achieved what we needed to. That speaks to the heart of our community: committed, resilient, compassionate, and always learning. And because learning never stops, we have put new systems and strategies in place to make 2026 a more streamlined, supportive, and inspiring year for everyone.

Looking Ahead to 2026: A Year for Re-Alignment, Renewal & Rising Stronger

If 2025 was about listening, then 2026 will be about living what we’ve learned.
Our commitment as a college is;
Re-alignment — stepping into the most authentic and sustainable versions of ourselves
Renewal — returning to purpose with new energy and clearer boundaries
Rising stronger — individually and collectively
Living and teaching from the heart (as always)
And perhaps most importantly, caring for ourselves as deeply as we care for our clients, students, and communities. Because the truth is, we teach best when we live what we teach. Because healing, teaching, and growth are not destinations, they’re upward spirals.

A thought to carry into the New Year “Do something today that your future self will thank you for.” May your “something” for 2026 be gentle, intentional, and aligned with the life you are creating.

With appreciation, warmth, and a hopeful heart for the year ahead,
Margie Donde Principal

We learn about tissue salts in kinesiopractic®️

🧱 Weak Tissues, Slow Healing, or Recurrent Suppuration?
Think Silica — The Mineral of Structure, Cohesion, and Clean Elimination 🔬

Silicic oxide (Silica) is found in all cells and all organs, with a particular affinity for connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, bone, nerve sheaths, and lymphoid tissue.

Schuessler regarded Silica as a rejuvenating and constitutional remedy, essential for maintaining tissue integrity, firmness, and the body’s ability to expel waste cleanly rather than retain it.

Silica is essential for:
▪ maintaining solidity and cohesiveness of tissues
▪ strengthening connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, and bone
▪ regulating suppuration and allowing pus or foreign matter to be expelled
▪ dissolving uric acid deposits and crystalline accumulations (with Nat phos)
▪ supporting nerve conduction and sensory stability
▪ restoring tissue vitality after long-standing weakness or depletion

In youth, Silica content is naturally high.
With age, deficiency shows as loss of tone, delayed healing, brittleness, weakness, deep wrinkles and chronic discharge(weeping wounds).

🚨 When Silica is deficient, tissues cannot “finish the job”
Instead of resolving inflammation, the body walls things off.
This leads to:
▪ stubborn abscesses
▪ retained pus
▪ fistulas
▪ foreign bodies that won’t expel
▪ slow fracture healing
▪ chronic skin and ear infections
▪ crystalline deposits in joints (gout-like states)

Silica doesn’t force elimination —
it restores the tissue’s intelligence so elimination can occur naturally. this mineral is vital for phagocytes (the bodies 'eater cells') to function, meaning it is easier for bacteria and debris to build up when silica is low (as the 'eater cell's' are handicapped!)

✅ Use Silica 6x–12x when you notice:
▪ Slow or incomplete healing
▪ Recurrent abscesses, boils, or suppuration
▪ Brittle nails, weak hair, poor skin tone
▪ Weak connective tissue or poor resistance to infection
▪ Ear infections with delayed discharge
▪ Chronic joint pain linked to uric acid deposits
▪ Children who appear under-developed despite adequate nutrition
▪ Sensitivity to light, noise, or sensory overload
▪ Nervous exhaustion with tissue weakness

🧬 How it works (from the biochemistry):
• Silica strengthens and binds connective tissue
It increases cohesiveness and solidity where tissues have become lax, flabby, or degenerated. (especially effective when used with Calc fluor)

• It governs suppuration and expulsion
When Silica is sufficient, the body can complete inflammatory processes properly.
When deficient, suppuration is delayed, painful, and incomplete. This is the bodies 'surgeon salt' that allows passages to be cut painlessly for easy expulsion (pimples, splinters etc)

• It dissolves crystalline waste deposits
Silica assists in breaking down urates and acid crystals that lodge in joints, nerves, and connective tissue. (when combined with nat phos)

• It supports nerve sheaths and sensory regulation
Silica is present in neurolemma and myelin structures, explaining its role in sensory sensitivity, nerve fatigue, and nervous instability when deficient.

• It restores long-term tissue vitality
Silica is a constitutional salt — often required over extended periods to rebuild tissue integrity, especially in children and the elderly.

✨ Think of Silica as the body’s master finisher —
the mineral that strengthens structure, completes healing, and allows waste to leave instead of linger.

When Silica is restored,
tissues firm, healing completes, sensitivity settles, and the body regains its ability to clean up after itself.
