What to expect after a Kinesiology session

After your Kinesiology session, you might be wondering what’s “normal” to feel or whether you should be doing anything special. Everyone responds differently, depending on their situation, but there are some common things people notice afterwards.

This post is here to reassure you and help you understand what your body might be doing as it begins to process and re-balance.

Bruising After the Session

This is probably the most asked-about thing, so let’s address it first. Some clients notice small bruises or tenderness, particularly around the body where I’ve worked with lymphatic reflex points. These points are stimulated by rubbing or pressing, which encourages blood flow and lymph movement.

So, if you spot a little bruise after your session, it’s a totally normal response and usually settles within a few days.

Feeling Calm and/or Tired)

Most people leave a session feeling very calm, grounded, and often a little sleepy. This is because your body has just released built-up stress - physically, emotionally, and energetically.

A lot of clients tell me they sleep really well that night and feel clearer and more level-headed the next day. This is often a great space to be in if you're planning on making changes to your routine, eating habits, or general lifestyle.

Emotional or Energetic Shifts

Sometimes, things can continue to shift after the session. You might feel emotional for a little while (even if it’s subtle), or you may just feel more in tune with your body and what it needs.

It's all part of the body integrating the work we've done and nothing to be worried about. Just let things flow and sit with the feeling for a while, acknowledging it's presence in order to allow it to be fully processed. 

No Big Change? That’s Normal Too

Not everyone feels something dramatic straight away - and that’s okay. The work is still happening under the surface. Some changes are instant, others unfold over a few days as your system continues to process what was released or balanced. 

Follow the guidance given to you after the session as this is where a lot of the new changes take place - whether it be a taking a supplement for a missing nutrient or removing a food intolerance that is causing your body stress.

Final Thoughts

The most important thing is to listen to your body, rest when needed, and drink lots of water to support your system. 

Once you’ve made the changes we discussed in your session, whether that’s around food, routines, mindset or anything else, you might find you’re ready for something new to shift. Improvement is best made over time. Kinesiology often works in layers -  when one issue is resolved, it can reveal the next thing your body is ready to work on. That’s completely normal and part of how deep healing happens. It’s about peeling things back gradually, so your system isn’t overwhelmed, and each change is truly sustainable.

How Does Remote Testing Work?

We can test your body from afar, using just a hair sample.

It might sound a little out there, but it’s actually based on a principle that’s been used in Kinesiology and energy medicine for years: your body holds an energetic imprint and that imprint can be read.

What Is Remote Testing?

In simple terms, remote testing allows me to access information from your body without you needing to be physically present. Instead of working with you directly, I use a small hair sample and place it on a surrogate. (someone physically present who temporarily “stands in” for your body during the testing)

Here’s what I do:

  1. Hair Sample

    You send me a small piece of your hair. Hair contains your energetic code - like a fingerprint for your body’s systems.

  2. The Surrogate

    I place the hair sample over the parotid gland on a surrogate. This allows me to muscle test as if I were testing you directly.

  3. Energetic Reading

    Using muscle testing, I read your body’s responses through the surrogate. This allows me to test for things like food intolerances, supplement needs and hormonal imbalances.

  4. Analysis & Report

    I then interpret the results and send you the insights, including practical actions you can take to support your well being.

What Can I Find Out?

With remote testing, I can gather detailed information about:

  • Which glands or organs need support

  • Which supplements or remedies your body responds best to

  • Whether certain foods are causing stress to your system

  • Many other potential imbalances or stressors that may present during testing

Why do we use it?

Kinesiology recognises that your body is an energetic system. Just like Wi-Fi or sound waves, energy can travel and it can be read. It’s especially helpful if:

  • You can’t attend in person

  • You have children or family you’d like tested

Remote testing doesn’t replace in-person work, but it’s a powerful tool, especially when used to uncover hidden stressors and support your healing on a biochemical, emotional, and energetic level when you are unable to attend in person.

What to Expect from Your First Kinesiology Session

If you’re curious about Kinesiology but unsure what a session actually looks like, you’re not alone. Many people come in not knowing exactly what to expect and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves.

Here’s what a typical first session feels like and how it can support your health and well being.

A Space That’s All About You

Before the session, you’ll fill in a health form so I can understand what’s going on in your world - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or something you just can’t put your finger on, Kinesiology helps us explore what your body needs to move forward.

We’ll have a relaxed conversation to get to know each other, and make sure you feel completely at ease before starting.

How We Listen to Your Body

One of the most powerful things about Kinesiology is that we don’t just guess what’s going on - we ask your body directly.

Through gentle muscle testing, we get insight into how your systems are functioning, where stress is being held, and what’s needed to restore balance. It’s a subtle process, but clients often say they’re amazed at what insights they are given through the muscle testing.

You’ll stay relaxed on the treatment couch while I guide the session based on what your body is telling us.

What You Might Experience

Every session is unique, but people often walk away feeling:

  • A deeper sense of calm and clarity

  • Relief from physical tension or discomfort

  • An understanding of what’s been draining their energy

  • Hope - because they finally feel heard and have been handed the key information they need to make the changes necessary in order to feel well again.

No matter what brings you in - stress, pain, uncertainty - Kinesiology meets you where you’re at and works with your whole system to support real, lasting change.

Tailored Support for Your Health

My aim in every session is to support you in returning to balance - physically, emotionally, and energetically. It’s not about giving you a long list of problems. It’s about helping you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and leave you with tools, insight, and a sense of support.

You don’t need to have all the answers before you arrive. You just need to show up - and let your body speak.

How I Found Kinesiology - And Why It Changed Everything

It all begins with an idea.

I discovered Kinesiology in the same way many people do - when I was feeling lost, desperate, and out of options. I had tried everything. I’d been to the doctor more times than I could count, only to be told, “Everything looks normal,” after every blood test. I remember thinking, “If even the doctor can’t find anything, there must be something really wrong with me.”

But looking back, that moment, the one that felt so hopeless, was actually the turning point. If you’re reading this now, you might be at a similar crossroads. And that might mean you’ve just come across a new way forward - one that could change your life without the need for prescriptions or long lists of side effects.

Kinesiology is a scientific, holistic approach to health that’s based on a different way of thinking. It’s one where you are in control - where you can finally understand the real causes of your physical and emotional symptoms.

Everyone is different, so why are symptoms so often treated the same way?

Using muscle testing, Kinesiology allows us to ask the body directly:

- Are your hormones in balance?

- Are your blood sugars out of sync?

- Is a structural issue causing your symptoms?

- Are certain foods triggering discomfort?

- Is there an emotion stuck in the body?

The answers can be surprising and empowering. Often, with simple changes or gentle physical corrections, long-standing symptoms begin to disappear.

The knowledge you gain through Kinesiology can help you feel better now and prevent future health issues too. For example, if you discover your body doesn’t tolerate milk, you can make the choice to avoid it - and potentially avoid issues like leaky gut down the line. Knowledge gives you choice. And with choice, you have the power to move toward wellness.

When you see a Kinesiologist, they don’t just look at one area. They test the body biochemically, structurally, emotionally, and electrically, leaving no stone unturned. This whole-body approach means we don’t just mask symptoms - we aim to uncover the root cause.
If you only treat a single symptom, you may feel better short term, but the body will often find a new way to express the imbalance - and more symptoms will follow. Real healing happens when we listen to the whole system.

My life changed when I discovered what was actually causing my symptoms. I had been so anxious, constantly nauseous, and unable to attend school most days. I was sick, unhappy, and afraid something was seriously wrong. But it turned out to be a food intolerance and an emotion held in my body.

Now, I have choices. Cow’s milk or oat milk? Illness or wellness?

If I hadn’t found Kinesiology, I honestly don’t know where I’d be today. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others discover what this work can do.

Because sometimes, the answers are already available - you just need someone to help ask the right questions.
