Kinesiology changed not only my understanding of my health but also my career and life. In 2016, following a series of changes in my personal life, combined with a few busy years career wise, I suddenly found myself in my early forties with very little energy or motivation. I had freelanced in the arts for years and created a number of plays using people’s stories while simultaneously completing an MA and a PhD in Drama; looking back I was burnt out.

However, at that time I just felt stuck and wasn’t quite sure what was wrong or where to turn. I had dabbled in alternative therapy over the years and through my work in drama and education, I had a developing interest in the mind/body connection. I decided therefore to have a look at what therapies were available near me in Bristol at the time and I came across a kinesiologist. I had heard about Kinesiology about twenty years previously but I had not really looked into it much. Curiosity this time got the better of me and I decided to book in for a session.

By the end of the session, I could literally feel my energy returning and my mood lifting. I hadn't considered training but by the time I had returned for my next session a month later, I had already booked onto a taster session. And that was it, I was hooked.  Over the next two years, I completed my training and qualified as a kinesiologist.
