CATE COMMISSO
Kinesiologist
Kinesiology works on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Our body systems are all connected, including our physical body to our spiritual bodies. We are a beautifully crafted, finely orchestrated symphony, that sometimes goes out of tune!
There is what we see, our physical bodies, and what we don’t see, our energetic bodies, and they all work in beautiful balance with each other, for optimal health, and wellness. Sometimes, through stress, trauma, life experiences, genes, thought patterns, or injury, our levels of being go out of balance. Kinesiology finds ways to counteract that imbalance for a calmer, more in tune, more grounded self.
​
Kinesiology utilises Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophies by working with the acupuncture system, the many related muscles, and the five elements. We use energetic medicine such as sound therapy, aromatherapy, colour, flower essences, and chakra balancing. We assess nutrition, hormones, vitamins, and minerals, to gather information about what may need balancing. There are so many ways to work on our bodies, and because our bodies are so sensitive, sometimes we just need a slight shift to make a great change.
