Marni Howes 
Kinesiologist  

It is a kind and nurturing process that starts with a comprehensive evaluation of you my client, I get to know about your physical symptoms or pains, lifestyle, childhood, I identify left and right brain disconnections that will present in a number of different ways, assess you in relation to primitive reflex integration and gain a deeper understanding of your overall health and mental well-being. We sit down for a chat about these aspects and then we work together to achieve greater balance for your mind and body. The majority of the session involves you lying on the therapy table fully clothed, while we continue to chat, and I work on eliminating tension and stress your body has held for years.

KIDS - I know it's never easy when our little ones are not doing great, we just want them to be happy and its sometimes daunting to know what to do. I would welcome the opportunity to help your little one. My approach is kind and gentle, it is important to get to know you both and build trust together, because the absolute number one is for your child to feel safe, this often looks like the little ones asking me loads of questions as well as me asking you as they wander around my space, touching everything, seeing if I will be ok with that etc, its all part of them testing little boundaries and gaining trust. Often you will reach out due to anxiety or behavioural challenges, this in my experience is often a nervous system regulation response, the body gets stuck in a fear response which also makes the rest digest process does not function effectively.  I focus on regulation with a number of beautiful soothing techniques, (all if you are ok with them) things like a massage on their feet and wrists with essential oil, gentle rocking of their body, massage their neck, increasing the vagal tone (which is one of our body's automatic responses to help us rest and digest).  I will never push a child to do something they don't want to, it's about encouraging them to try things with me, open up and talk about things, if I need to sit on the floor and work I do, together we connect and help them feel better and ultimately allowing their body to relax again and let go.
