Kinesiologist  

A balance session is a gentle, nurturing process designed to support both your physical and emotional well-being. It begins with a comprehensive evaluation, where I take time to get to know you—your symptoms, lifestyle, health history, and unique experiences.

We explore:

• Physical symptoms or areas of discomfort

• Emotional well-being and mental health

• Lifestyle factors, including stress levels and daily habits

• Childhood experiences and developmental milestones

• Potential left and right brain disconnections

• Signs of retained primitive reflexes

This is a collaborative and respectful conversation where you are fully heard and supported. From there, we work together to create a plan that helps restore balance between the mind and body.

🛏️ What to Expect During the Session

Most of the session takes place with you lying fully clothed on a therapy table, in a calm and supportive environment. While we continue to talk gently, I use soothing, non-invasive techniques to help your body release tension, stress, and emotional patterns that may have been held for many years.

The goal is to help your nervous system shift into a more regulated, relaxed state, supporting:

• Integration of primitive reflexes

• Improved brain-body communication

• Release of long-held tension

• Greater emotional clarity and resilience

Each session is deeply personal and tailored to your specific needs. The experience is always kind, respectful, and focused on building safety and trust—because true healing happens when the body feels safe enough to let go.

KIDS

I know how hard it can be when your little one isn’t feeling their best. As a parent, you just want them to be happy—and it can be daunting not knowing where to start. I would be honoured to support you and your child through this journey.

💛 A Safe and Gentle Approach

My approach is kind, gentle, and child-led. Building trust and safety is always the number one priority. This starts by getting to know you both and giving your child space to feel comfortable in my environment. Often, this looks like them wandering around, asking questions, touching everything, and testing boundaries—not to misbehave, but to see if I’m someone they can trust. And that’s exactly how it should be.

🌿 What Brings You Here?

Many parents reach out due to anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, or behavioural challenges. In my experience, these are often signs of a dysregulated nervous system, where the body is stuck in a fight, flight, or freeze response. When this happens, the child’s ability to feel calm, digest food properly, sleep soundly, or manage emotions can be impacted.

🌈 How We Work Together

Together, we focus on nervous system regulation using beautiful, soothing techniques tailored to your child’s comfort and needs. These may include (always with your consent):

• Gentle massage of the feet and wrists using calming essential oils

• Soft rocking to bring a sense of safety and rhythm

• Gentle neck massage to release tension

• Techniques to stimulate the vagus nerve—helping the body return to its natural "rest and digest" state

I always meet your child where they’re at. I never push or pressure them to participate in anything they’re not ready for. If I need to work while sitting on the floor, I will. If your child wants to chat or not chat at all, that’s okay. We follow their lead.

Through connection, kindness, and gentle support, we help their body begin to relax again—letting go of stress and tension, and creating space for healing, joy, and growth.
