How I became a Kinesiopractor
Quite some time ago, I was having a conversation with my best friend. We were both pouring ourselves into our roles as providers for our young families, I had been feeling the pressures of responsibility and was wondering if this was how it was supposed to be, so I asked “Is our purpose in life just to be the provider for our families?” He emphatically replied “Of course!”. This made sense logically, but something still felt off about it too, but I just couldn’t place it.
I like to think that as we live our lives, we’re given opportunities to learn, reflect and change through the challenges we face. I learnt that sacrificing myself and suffering in silence to fulfil the role of provider didn’t make me a better father or partner or friend, quite the opposite actually! That feeling I had years earlier could no longer be ignored.
So I worked on being present, learnt to be comfortable saying no, began getting clear on my values, started doing men’s workshops and inner work.
When I came across Kinesiology, I felt connected to it and felt enthusiastically optimistic about its potential. It’s been a powerful ally for me in my physical health and mental health and relationships. So I closed my business and dedicated myself to become an accredited Kinesiologist and help others.
Health.
I wasn’t a big fan of modern western medicine, sometimes I felt that my health concern wasn’t bad enough to warrant medical intervention, but I also couldn’t find the right information to halt or reverse the concern myself.
Kinesiology helps to balance out the other contributing factors of an issue. Rarely does any issue exist on it’s own and it’s imperative to work on all of these factors to create long-lasting or permanent change.
I’m continually delighted by the ways in which Kinesiology can be used to balance out such a huge range of issues and the ease in which results can come.
It’s amazing how muscle testing techniques can be used to find what’s causing stress on the body and how the body can give bio-feedback to ease long held issues.
