Kinesio-Coaching™
The most successful performing artists,
athletes and business leaders
have all developed partnerships
with coaches or mentors over the years.
Kinesio-Coaching™ is the science of combining Kinesiology and modern coaching methods for optimal change, learning or performance. Kinesiology is the study and application of movement to access a balanced psychophysical state.
Kinesio-Coaching™ sessions last 1.5 hours. It is non-invasive and you remain fully clothed. You are supported by phone coaching between appointments as in the traditional coaching model.
Kinesio-Coaching™ is used to:
- create behavioural changes with ease.
- promote emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
- deal with physical fatigue or pain.
- create healthy physical habits that support mental health.
- create thought patterns and beliefs that support health and wellbeing.
- de-stress and re-energise the body and mind.
Kinesiology is used for assessing and treating any imbalance in the body and mind (bodymind). Muscle testing is used to assess the energy flow in the bodymind and is also used to prioritise what your system needs to bring it into 'balance'. This 'balance' is the optimal state for learning, performance and healing and is achieved through:
- Emotional stress release ESR. The whole psychophysical system is calmed and cleared to allow for optimal healing, learning or performance.
- Specific body movements These movements balance the body and access various dimensions of our brain and mind (including the subconscious). Through this access we are able to replace patterns of thought, belief and behaviour with helpful alternatives. This is very effective for dealing with motivation, emotions, and fear or anxiety responses.
- Balancing the body's energy meridians (as used in Chinese medicine). This is achieved by stimulating or calming three types of reflex points and clearing the meridians (energy channels) themselves.
Types of Kinesiology
Both types of kinesiology used at Acumen Coaching are non-invasive and the client remains fully clothed.
Touch for Health Kinesiology TFH
TFH draws from various holistic disciplines but particularly from the energetic model of traditional Chinese medicine. TFH links specific muscles with organ systems and with accupuncture meridians. TFH also enquires into the 'meaning' the discomfort has for you. Metaphors are used to consider how we might be contributing to any imbalance in our body or mind. Energies are balanced to support your goals to improve your experience of life.
Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K)
Edu-K uses specific movements and aspects of NLP to facilitate optimal learning. The mind-body system is balanced for accomplishing any behaviour or function with greater ease and efficiency. It is based on Dr. Paul Dennison's studies of the impact of movement and perception on fine motor and academic skills. Benefits include the ability to harness motivation, skills to identify and reduce stress, and increased awareness. Edu-K provides unique tools for team building , and for developing co-operation and creativity. Read Kate Kalin's recent research on the application of Educational Kinesiology for this purpose.
Edu-K works initially on three dimensions: Laterality, Focus and Centering.
