Kinesiology is considered to be a complete form of complimentary wellness care.  It uses gentle muscle testing to look for, understand and aid in supporting any imbalance within the body.  

​

​Your session at the Dragonfly Healing Room looks at all the elements that may be affecting your health.  Kinesiology is a holistic therapy which uses muscle response to a muscle test.  I do this by placing your arms, legs or head into specific positions then apply a light pressure against the muscle that is being tested.  The muscle response measures the motor response of the central nervous system to a sensory challenge.

Hormonal Challenges

​

The term 'hormonal imbalance' seems to be used many times to try to explain a multitude of symptoms and it can feel very confusing as to which way to turn.  Hormones dictate our bodily functions including; appetite, sleep patterns, how we respond to stress, whether we feel happy or upset, and how 'well' we feel.  

​

There are symptoms which can provide signs towards a hormone imbalance or endocrine disorder, these include: 

- trouble falling asleep or sleeping through the night

- you feel tired even after sleep 

- you need a stimulant to get going i.e. caffeine or sugar 

- you notice mood swings and energy crashes

- you notice changes to your menstruation cycle

​

The endocrine system is a network of glands that produce and release hormones that help to control many important body functions.  Each gland releases specific hormones into your bloodstream. 

​

If just one of your glands is off balance it will have a knock on effect to the others and the upset to this delicate balance can lead to an endocrine disorder / hormonal challenge. 

​

Included within the range of hormonal challenges are the categories of:

• periods/menstruation

• fertility

• pregnancy

• peri-menopause

• menopause 

​

What do sessions involve? 

​

As I assess the muscles, I will create an individual wellness plan which may have the following suggestions: 

​

• Food supplements

• Dietary changes including advice on food and chemical sensitivities 

• Gentle relaxation techniques
