Kinesiology & Nutrition with Jo
Get to the root cause and bring your body back into balance
Get back to feeling like you​​
When you’re constantly tired, bloated, moody or your skin just won’t settle, it can feel like your body’s speaking a language you can’t understand.
Kinesiology helps translate those signals. Using gentle muscle testing, this modality reveals where your body is out of balance: physically, nutritionally, emotionally or energetically.
Combined with nutrition and elements of Chinese Medicine, it becomes a powerful duo that helps every system in the body – from hormones to digestion, from skin to sleep – so you can finally get to the root cause of what’s really going on.

​
What exactly is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a holistic therapy that assesses your health by checking whether a muscle switches on when stimulated. This provides helpful biofeedback to find issues that are likely to cause, or may already be causing, symptoms of illness in the body.
It’s a way of communicating with your body – asking what it needs, what’s blocking healing and how best to reset.
Where traditional medicine looks at isolated symptoms, kinesiology looks at the whole picture. It identifies the patterns linking your digestion, hormones, skin, mood and energy , helping you restore balance naturally.

Kinesiology + Nutrition = power couple
Nutrition gives your body the building blocks to heal. Kinesiology shows you where to focus.
Together, they take the guesswork out of wellness, so you can stop buying random supplements or piecing together your symptoms using online blogs.

-
Ease hormonal symptoms such as PMS, perimenopausal shifts or thyroid imbalance
-
Settle digestive discomfort, bloating or IBS-type issues
-
Calm skin flare-ups like acne or eczema
-
Support better sleep, mood and mental clarity
-
Rebuild consistent, lasting energy
-
Support the body to rebuild post-viral illness
How Kinesiology changed my life (and why I’m so passionate about sharing it!) and why it takes more than a banana and multi Vit to feel like yourself again...
I hear so many times in clinic, “I’ve tried everything, so thought I’d give Kinesiology a go”.​ And I really do understand the frustration clients are feeling, because I’ve been there myself.
Back in 2014, I had been suffering with skin, digestive and hormonal issues for over a year. Rounds of antibiotics weren’t helping clear my skin and had disrupted my digestion, neither was the birth control pill that I had been prescribed, which in turn disrupted my hormones too.​
I felt helpless and disempowered with my health and didn't know what to do next. My body felt like a puzzle I couldn’t solve.
Out of desperation, I booked a kinesiology session. Through muscle testing, we discovered what nutrients my body was missing, which foods were creating stress, and how lifestyle tweaks could make a difference.
The results were remarkable. The session signposted which supplements I’d actually benefit from (instead of a stab-in-the-dark approach), which lifestyle changes to make and showed me what to add to my vegan diet to bridge the gaps I had. My skin cleared, my digestion balanced and my energy and confidence returned.
I found it fascinating how my body responded to the muscle testing and knew exactly what and how much it needed to rebalance and heal. But what truly changed me was how heard I felt. Kinesiology treated me as a whole person for the first time.
That experience reshaped how I view health, and it’s the foundation of my work today. After 20+ years supporting clients 1:1, I’ve seen time and again how kinesiology helps people reconnect with their bodies and rediscover their natural flow. ​​

"Jo was highly recommended to me when I was looking for a kinesiology expert in Henley.
I was struggling with fluctuating energy levels and had some immune and digestive issues and needed someone to get me back on track.
I can honestly say Jo has made a huge difference to my quality of life. She is brilliant at figuring out the nutritional issues but is also skilled at identifying other emotional/mental/work related issues that were impacting on my day to day life.
She is an excellent kinesiologist and I would highly recommend her...in fact I have already to several of my friends.
Thanks for all your help Jo"

"I started seeing Jo a couple of years ago as I felt my body was out of sync.
Jo has taken her time to get to know my body and has helped rebalance my digestion and hormones.
I used to suffer with bloating and gas, which I no longer do, and used to have hormonal acne around my period, which I no longer get.
Jo has made me appreciate what a healthy body feels like, and although Kinesiology is an investment, it is worth every penny."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kinesiology?
Kin - easy - ology is a holistic form of natural health care, where the whole person is treated not just fire fighting symptoms. Gentle muscle testing is used to read the energetic bio feedback system from the body to find where health issues stem from. For a muscle to switch on and fire it needs blood flow, lymph flow, nutrition, hydration, structural support and for emotions & stresses to be balanced. IF any one of these aren't in balance the muscle won't switch on and this is where we gain the knowledge of what your body needs to get back into balance. When we experience symptoms, such as acid reflux or headaches for example these are the body's way of giving us a nudge or sometimes shouting loud to get our attention that there is an imbalance & energy drain affecting our wellbeing.​ The headache could simply come from needing to hydrate more or tight neck & shoulder muscles, or it could indicate higher levels of stress from a situation or person. Once found and fully addressed during the treatment, the imbalances are able to be cleared and work on preventing them from returning with bespoke advice given on diet, nutrition, lifestyle and movement. Sometimes this will take a course of treatments and this will always be discussed and agreed ​Kinesiology is beneficial for everyone and usually people feel the difference from the first session and your treatment plan will always be discussed fully and agreed upon at your initial consult.

Your current symptoms and goals are also discussed and we tailor the session to exactly match your needs. At follow up consults we will have an initial chat to see how you have been since the last treatment and agree on what your goal is for the session and the treatment is then tailored exactly to your needs. ​You will spend the majority of the treatment on the treatment table, fully clothed and under go gentle muscle testing & various techniques are used to bring the body back into balance . ​Allow up to 90minutes for your consults. the investment for your initial consult is £125 and each follow up consult is £95. You will leave each consult with: Bespoke diet, nutrition and lifestyle advice tailored exactly to your needs. ​Supplementation advice to support your nutritional needs whilst your body comes back into balance.

What can Kinesiology help with?
So many elements of modern day living can send the body out of balance. Due to this, the main areas I work with are: Digestive issues, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, acid reflux, candida, parasites & more Immune building & resilience including post viral recovery support Energy imbalances, chronic fatigue, burnout & sleep issues Food testing for allergies, intolerances & sensitivities Hormonal imbalance - irregular periods, peri/menopause, thyroid issues, migraines Nutrition & Lifestyle support ​Stress & emotional issues Structural, postural & muscular issues
How does it work?
During a consult manual muscle testing is used, with client fully clothed, to evaluate whether a muscle is in balance. This involves applying gentle pressure to the muscle whilst the client resists the pressure, not to determine if someone is strong or weak, purely whether the muscle switches on or not. If the muscle doesn’t switch on there’s an imbalance and various techniques can then be used to restore balance & function: Neuro-vascular & neuro-lymphatic points – points in the body that relate to the lymphatic and vascular system, massaged to clear and boost circulation, lymphatic drainage & improve muscle function. Emotional Stress Release techniques (ESR) – emotions and stresses have a huge impact on muscle function and in turn our overall health and often found to contribute to the root cause of imbalances in the body. Tapping, Visualisation and affirmations are used to restore balance and relieve stress and held Nutrition support – dietary & lifestyle changes often need to be made with supplementation to support the body healing and rebalancing itself. Meridian clearing – Meridians are energy pathways through the body according to Chinese medicine when these become blocked or energy stagnant, imbalances can form within the body. Meridians are rebalanced through light touch. Acupressure point massage & holding – these are specific points along the Meridians to stimulate energy flow that are held or gentle pressure applied whilst the body responds and adjusts itself. Each muscle relates to a Meridian and in turn to an organ so specific imbalances can be identified and rebalanced bringing overall.
