Service Description

I love working with children and helping them work through the underlying issues that are causing them any sort of stress or upset. Kids are so beautiful and authentic and are open to everything that comes up in a Kinesiology session and I truly love helping them make sense of their big feelings. What can Kinesiology help kids deal with?

Each Kinesiology session is unique and flows according to the child’s needs. In some sessions we start by chatting directly with the child about how they are feeling and what is happening in their life at that particular time. Sometimes the child isn’t comfortable talking straight away so they sit and play with some things while I chat to the parent/guardian of the child about the issues they’d like to work on. I also have a lot of parents that prefer to just hand me a note with the issues they’d like to work on, and then they leave it to me to manage how I bring up those issues with the child directly. I am flexible and always go with the best thing for the child on that particular day. I always explain to the children what is going to happen in the session so they are not nervous about it. I explain that we’re just going to have a little chat, then they’ll get to lay on the massage table on their back and I’ll just be moving their arm up and down to help them feel better. Finally I also make sure that I let them know that they’ll receive a special little gift at the end!
