Holistic Kinesiology

Great to see a description of kinesiology. The best way to ‘understand’ kinesiology is to experience it!

A kinesiology session is an amazing experience - but don’t take our word for it! Why not check out our website and look for a practitioner in your area and try it out for yourself! Muscle response testing allows the kinesiologist to highlight areas which are causing stress (the muscle test indicates an imbalance) and then they can investigate the best way to correct the imbalance. www.kinesiologyfederation.co.uk

This was such a great day. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to share some of the amazing techniques and benefits of Holistic Kinesiology.

The kinesiology journey of the Head of the School of Holistic Kinesiology…

We are excited that Christina Damerell, the founder and principle of Holistic Kinesiology, will be sharing her fascinating insights on ‘Octagons’ with us at the KF Spring Conference in Edinburgh on March 28th.

If you’d like to join us for this fascinating presentation tickets are available at www.kinesiologyfederation.co.uk

Holistic Kinesiology uses a wide range of powerful techniques and balancing methods to help bring you structurally, nutritionally, energetically and mentally back into balance.

Holistic Kinesiologists have exceptional, wide-ranging skills. They listen closely to what you say and to what your body needs and adapt a whole range of therapies and remedies to suit your uniqueness.

Christina feels fortunate to have been led along this path in a job that feeds her at all levels, but how did Christina find Kinesiology and what inspired her to set up her own school?

Kinesiology captured Christina for life on the first morning of the first day of a Touch for Health 1 course in America, when the teacher used muscle testing to ease the pain of a participant's wasp sting on her finger. From that moment Christina realised she just had to keep going....

Soon after her return to Edinburgh, Christina’s curiosity took her to a health fair in Glasgow where she happened on a stall where TFH was being demonstrated and Pat Marron, a TFH instructor, was ready for her next "body". Christina stepped up and became her student to continue her training.

Pat had been trained by Brian Butler, and he came to teach her students sometimes. Christina was lured into attending Sheldon Deal's Updates in London, weekends which she recalls were always intense, hard work and inspiring!

Once she felt confident enough, Christina started working on clients at home as well as renting time in a local clinic, and eventually decided to "go public", so she phoned ‘The Scotsman’ to find out if they were interested in an article about her work. To her delight and surprise, they were looking for a therapy to cover for the last article of a series they'd been running and asked to send a reporter and photographer the very next day! The photographer got their shots and left after 10 minutes, the reporter received a balance and reported in his article that Christina had homed in on one of his current problems – well, yes that's what we do isn't it!

Christina received 15 enquiries from that article, some of whom became clients or students and since then all her work has been the result of referrals.

In the 1990’s Christina completed the TFH Instructor Workshop, with Brian, in London. This would turn out to be his last and he sent his students home with instructions to set up dates for their first course as teachers. Christina followed his advice and 2 of those students are still precious friends.

You may be picking up the thread of so-called coincidences in this story, so it won't surprise you that Christina also "happened upon" an article about the call for registration of complementary therapies written by a woman close to the Bognor Regis TFH Centre, which led her to contact them and attend the inaugural meeting of the KF in London. Christina was the 8th person to pay her subscription and a year or so later became a member of the committee.

Christina clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share so we hope you’ll join us.

Kinesiology - the choice of a champion!

Amazing kinesiology!

The current Professional Holistic Kinesiology course - in action! It is great to be back! We have had such rich learning and balancing so far - and all under the expert teaching and supervision of Christina.

It was so good to meet up with members of our tribe! A few of us gathered for a demonstration by Neil of Bowen Therapy techniques and Chinese medicine-related balancing methods. We even had the opportunity to have some issues and injuries addressed – with very positive outcomes! Many thanks to Neil for sharing his time and expertise with us and to Christina for hosting.

Totally terrific teacher training!
Huge thanks to the wonderful Carrie Jost, Head of the School of Creative Kinesiology, for facilitating an 8 day course for teaching kinesiology at professional level.
The course was ubforgettable, with some really powerful balancing. Now there are four of us on the path to qualifying as teachers of Holistic Kinesiology. Very exciting!
Carrie also demonstrated a balancing technique for working with microbiota. More powerful work was done, and very relevant, given the amount of work currently being done on the gut.
This feels like an important step forward for the School of Holistic Kinesiology.!

Wishing a very happy birthday to Carol, our fabulous practitioner who lives in the Scottish Borders. We celebrated her birthday slightly early during the first part of our teacher training course for holistic kinesiology practitioners, which is being run by the wonderful Carrie Jost, Head of the School of Creative Kinesiplogy. Many apologies to Carol for cutting off the top of your head!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!
Well done to our latest professional holistic kinesiology class, who all passed their assessment today with flying colours! Many congratulations to Fleur, Janet, David, Fiona and Hilary.
They were all assessed by Carrie Jost, Head of the School of Creative Kinesiology. Many thanks to Carrie for coming up to Scotland and doing this for us.
