Our Course Leaders are dedicated practitioners of Systematic Kinesiology and aim to provide students with a supportive and professional learning experience.
Having completed the KinesiologyZone Course Leadership Development Programme, our Course Leaders are part of a dedicated team and growing community of healthcare professionals. Each year they undergo intensive training to continue to develop their expertise and enhance the student optimal learning experience even further.
All have a dedicated commitment and passion to share the simple health concepts of Systematic Kinesiology with others, and you can meet them at various talks and taster events around the country, as well as on the KinesiologyZone™ course “Balanced Health”, and special CPD courses for Physiotherapists.

Lara van Bergen
Course leader KinesiologyZone™, Kilkenny
I have been running my practice since 2017. I feel incredibly privileged to help people on their journey to better health. Many of the people I work with have tried a lot of different approaches before I see them but were not able to find the root cause of their issues yet.
For the past three years I've taught the KinesiologyZone™ Balanced Health course and enjoy being part of an amazing team. It’s an absolute pleasure to share the knowledge and techniques with a variety of people.


Shelley O'Doherty
Course leader KinesiologyZone™, Kerry
My personal journey isn’t one of a healing journey but one of curiosity and discovery. I feel very fortunate to have found my true path in life from health vs sickness, as many others do. Qualifying as a Systematic kinesiologist has been the icing on the cake for my busy practice.
Now I want to share this amazing Balanced Health course. It’s so empowering and who knows you might even go on to become the next Systematic Kinesiologist. I look forward to meeting you on the next course.
Sheila O’Hanlon
Course leader KinesiologyZone™, North Cork
In my practice and with my KinesiologyZone™ Balanced Health courses, I help people release stress with easy-to-use amazing techniques. I no longer underestimate the detrimental power that stress can have which, for some, is a daily battle.


Gillian Kavanagh
Course leader KinesiologyZone™, Co Meath
I love Systematic Kinesiology so much that as soon as an opportunity came to teach with KinesiologyZone I jumped at the chance. I cannot wait to share all that I have learned in a stress free format, to help other to help themselves as I have been helped. My courses will be held in North Dublin / Co Meath.
Annie McNicholl
Course leader KinesiologyZone™, Derry
I did Balanced Health in Donegal Town in 2014 with Siobhan, Mella and Caroline (although I'm from Co Derry, there was no Balanced Health course there at that time). I graduated in September 2019. I am now a Course Leader, and started my Balanced Health Classes in March 2025 in Co Derry. Very exciting times!
