	Modalities I use many modalities as every one of them has something unique to offer. Kinesiology I am a Consultant in the following Kinesiology techniques: * Educational Kinesiology/Brain Gym® (see Brain Gym®) * Touch For Health (see Kinesiology) * Applied Physiology (see below) * Kinergetics (Level 1 to Level 7) * SIPS (1-3 + BAP) * One Brain (see Kinesiology) * Australian Bush Flower Essences * Chironic Healing * Homeopathic Meridian Science (HMS) (see below) * Chakra Hologram (see below) and a Diplomat in Neuro-Organization Technique (NOT) after studying intensively with Dr Carl Ferreri DC, its Developer (see picture below of Dr Carl Ferreri and me at the Diplomat certificate presentation).
		NOT is an amazing Kinesiology technique that deals with survival systems that we activate in times of stress. NOT restores the organisation of the Nervous System, so that reflexes and muscles that changed as a result of an accident, injury or emotional trauma can be reset and return to homeostasis (see also Kinesiology).

After chronic stress (emotional, physical and/or chemical), the Immune System is often functioning poorly, leading to fatigue, illness and/or allergies. In this course you will learn how to muscle check to identify and deal with the cause of these stresses, as well as to determine how to switch the Immune System on again! Applied Physiology (AP) and Chakra Hologram AP was developed by Richard Utt (for more information see http://www.kinesiology.net/). It is based on the hologram theory. The premise is that every experience we have ever had is coded as a combination of two meridians (energy channels through which the life force energy flows), an object meridian and a reference meridian. All negative stressful experiences that have brought the body in a Fight/Flight state, are coded for and stored in the Amygdala. Every time you are in a similar situation the experience is added to others from the past and the reaction is the same as the one in the past. These reactions are sub-conscious and therefore hard to change consciously. If the hologram that caused a negative response in the past is balanced or even changed to a positive response, the experience is no longer stored as Fight/Flight. This means that you can now make a positive choice about how you would like to react the next time you are in a similar situation. Chakra Hologram is a similar technique based on the same premise. Homeopathic Meridian Science (HMS) HMS is a new and exciting treatment system that is fast and extremely effective. HMS was developed by Prof. Dan McNair from Perth (WA) in the 1980s. Prof. McNair was trained as an engineer in Scotland, but a severe car accident made an end to his career. He initially developed the system of Kinetic Energen patches to deal with his non-stop crippling pain. Later he extended the system to assist with other conditions. The Kinetic Energen patches consist of an optic fibre that is impregnated with a homoeopathic solution. The energy is transferred onto the skin via the optic fibre. HMS has proven to be successful for a variety of conditions such as chronic pain, injuries, arthritis, allergies, candida etc. HMS aims to bring the body's electrical system back into balance, so the body can heal itself. Prof. Dan McNair was awarded the Albert Schweitzer Prize in Spain for the most valuable contribution to Complimentary Medicines in 1993. Other techniques: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a great tool for working with emotional issues in more depth. I studied NLP with Marvin Oka and became a Certified Practitioner and later a Master Practitioner. NLP is also a great tool to educate the person about how they are programming their Nervous System through the use of their language. If a person continually says: “That person gives me a headache..”, or “I am sick and tired of this”, they are giving orders to their Nervous System to create these states as physical conditions. The subconscious mind takes things very literal and does not recognise the word “not”. Have you ever noticed what happens if you say: “Don’t spill the milk” or “don’t forget to pick up some bread on the way home”. What do you do if I say: “Don’t think of an elephant?” NLP offers successful ways of changing the way we programme our Nervous System. Suggestopaedia/Superlearning Suggestopaedia is a learning system that was developed by Dr. Lozanov from Sofia (Bulgaria). He discovered that if people listen to a certain kind of classical music, whilst they are learning a new language, the person would learn better. He called this number 1 music. He also discovered that if they listened to slow largo music with their eyes closed whilst they were memorising these newly learned words their memory worked better. He called this number 2 music. It brings the body in an alpha-like state, where the memory works better than in the beta state. In this alpha-like state the body is usually also more relaxed than in the beta state, which proved of benefit when we tried to do the exercises with our son Friso (see About us). The beta state is the state we spend most of our waking hours in. Naturopathy Naturopathy is a modality that consists of many sub-modalities. Every Naturopath has his/her own speciallties depending on the subjects that he/she has studied. I have studied the following sub-modalities. You can click on the link provided to find out more about each sub-modality in the Health section of this website. * Homoeopathy * Nutrition Medicine * Herbal Medicine * Australian Bush Flower essences.
