At House of Sage we use kinesiology in addition to our remedial massage to assist the body with just a few of the following problems.

Muscle testing measures how the nervous system controls its muscle functions.
There are over two-hundred bones connected to hundreds of muscles in the body. These all need to be working properly together, to enable good nerve, lymph and blood supply throughout the body. Gentle corrections and alignment of these systems may be applied to balance the body’s physical structure.

Muscle monitoring is used to assess how the system is functioning. This process can highlight possible areas of weakness. eg. a problem with the nervous system, the lymphatic drainage, the vascular supply to a muscle or organ, a nutritional excess or deficiency, a problem with the cranial-sacral, an imbalance in the meridian system or a host of other problems. Kinesiology borrows from many different disciplines and through the use of accurate, scientific muscle testing, in addition to the knowledge of the practitioner, helps direct the care to exactly what the patient’s needs are.

Kinesiology can assess a person’s nutritional status, including food intolerances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and other chemical sensitivities. It can help determine the supplements the body requires the most at that particular point in time. This benefits athletes as well as clients who require supplements such as minerals or other vitamins they may be lacking from their diet.

Eliminate the questions regarding your health and ask our practitioner about incorporating kinesiology into your next health assessment!

Counselling services at HOUSE OF SAGE

Online counselling services work for most people as clients can dial in from all over the world. Tara currently treats people in Europe, the Americas and also Australia.

The counselling services Tara offers are based on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT. However, it is not traditional but rather tailored to your needs.

What will this offer you?

If you have past trauma, counselling can help you understand how thoughts, emotions, behaviours and situations are all closely related and influence each other. Knowing the interrelationship between these factors and the underlying trauma helps you reconstruct how you formulate your reality and be able to move on to a more workable framework to follow, without dragging your past into every situation with you. Release the importance of past issues and make your NOW more important!

The sessions are short-term, goal focussed and flexible. Each session is an individualised approach to treatment for many types of emotional and behavioural issues. The aim of the sessions varies with each meeting, however, the basis is to slow down and consider if there is a different way to view things and thus create a different response. There will be an emphasis on the here and now, requiring a level of motivation and commitment from the person in both session and outside of sessions.

If you feel ready for change and wish to explore new approaches to creating your reality and THE life you want; without all the past baggage influencing your current direction, well, then call Tara at House of Sage now.
