About Me
Hello, I’m Kathleen 🦋
Registered Nurse | Kinesiology Practitioner | Reiki Master | Meditation & Sound Practitioner | Your Wellbeing Practitioner
For more than three decades, I have had the privilege of holding space for people through some of life’s most significant moments.
My nursing journey began in 1989 at St Vincent’s Hospital in Fitzroy, and over the years I have worked across many areas of nursing, including emergency, medical and surgical nursing, hospital in the home, school nursing and breast cancer support nursing. I have also spent many years working in General Practice, where I continue to work as a Practice Nurse.
Alongside my nursing career, another part of my journey was unfolding.
I discovered kinesiology almost two decades ago, initially as a client myself, and experienced first-hand how powerful it could be to gently explore what was happening beneath the surface. This opened the door to a whole new way of understanding the connection between our emotional, physical and energetic wellbeing.
I went on to become a qualified Kinesiology Practitioner and have continued to expand my knowledge through Reiki, meditation, sound therapy and other holistic wellbeing practices.
Where Western healthcare meets holistic wellbeing
My work today brings together my clinical nursing experience with my passion for holistic wellbeing. I don't see these as two separate worlds. For me, they beautifully complement one another. My nursing background has given me an understanding of the physical body, health, illness, medical treatment and the importance of compassionate, person-centred care.
My holistic practice allows me to explore another layer — the emotional, energetic and wellbeing aspects of the person sitting in front of me.
Together, these experiences shape the way I support my clients today.
Your body is amazing
One of the things that continues to fascinate me is the incredible capacity of the human body. Our bodies are constantly working to restore, repair and find balance. They have an amazing ability to heal from physical wounds, emotional experiences and the stresses that life can bring.
Healing isn't always linear, and it doesn't look the same for everyone. Sometimes we simply need to create the right environment for our body, mind and nervous system to pause, feel safe and reconnect. This is one of the many ways I can support you. Through kinesiology, Reiki, sound, meditation, gentle energy work and other wellbeing practices, I create a nurturing space where you can slow down, listen inwardly and reconnect with yourself.
You are the leader in your own wellbeing.
My role isn't to tell you what you need to do. It is to walk alongside you, hold space and support you as you discover what feels right for you.
Who I support
As my own life and business continue to evolve, so too does my practice.
I love supporting children from 5 years of age, teenagers and women through the different stages, transitions and challenges that life can bring.
I will also continue to support the male clients who are already part of my practice and have been on my books.
As I move forward, I am no longer taking on new male clients. This is a gentle evolution of my practice and allows me to focus my energy on the areas and people I feel most called to support in this next chapter.
Whether you are a child learning to navigate the world, a teenager finding your way through change, a woman moving through a new chapter, or an existing client continuing your wellbeing journey with me, my intention remains the same:
to create a space where you feel heard, supported, nurtured and safe to be yourself.
A little more about me
I'm a mum of two adult children, married, and someone who believes that life is always evolving.
I love creating things with my hands, from essential oil products to gemstone bracelets, and I love being active, walking, spending time with friends and connecting with nature.
I have also always been fascinated by the weather and the way it can intertwine with how we feel. There is something about noticing the seasons, the changing light, the rain, the warmth and the wind that reminds me that we, too, are constantly moving and changing.
At this stage of my own life, I feel very much in a new chapter — one that feels softer, lighter and more spacious.
And perhaps that is why my work continues to evolve too.
Coming home to yourself
For me, wellbeing isn't about becoming someone different.
It is about coming home to yourself.
My hope is that when you enter my space, you feel welcomed, heard, nurtured and safe to simply be yourself.
Whether you're navigating a period of change, supporting your emotional wellbeing, looking for greater balance, or simply feeling that it is time to invest in yourself, I would love to support you.

My Values & Vision
My Vision
My vision for Kathleen Kinesiology is to create a warm, nurturing space where people feel safe to pause, reconnect with themselves and be supported in their wellbeing journey.
With more than 30 years of nursing experience alongside my journey in kinesiology, Reiki, meditation and sound therapy, I believe there is value in bringing different approaches to wellbeing together. My intention is to honour the whole person — mind, body and spirit — while recognising that every individual is unique.
I believe our bodies are constantly working to restore, repair and find balance. Life can sometimes place demands on us that leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or simply not quite ourselves. My role is to provide space, support and gentle guidance as you listen to what your body and your own inner wisdom may be telling you.
I don't believe wellbeing is about becoming someone different.
For me, it is about coming home to yourself.
My Values
You are at the centre ~ I believe you are the leader in your own wellbeing. My role isn't to tell you what you need to do, but to walk alongside you, listen and support you in discovering what feels right for you.
Nurture & compassion ~ Everyone deserves to feel heard, respected and cared for. I aim to create a space where you can arrive exactly as you are, without judgement or expectation.
The whole person ~ Emotional, physical and energetic wellbeing can all influence how we experience life. I take a holistic view while respecting the importance of appropriate medical care and professional healthcare support.
Individuality ~ There is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing. Every person, every body and every life experience is different. Your sessions are therefore personalised to you and where you are at that particular time.
Connection ~ Connection is at the heart of my work — connection with ourselves, our bodies, our emotions and the people around us. Sometimes having someone simply hold space and listen can be incredibly meaningful.
Safety & trust ~ My nursing background has taught me the importance of safety, professionalism, boundaries and compassionate care. I want every client to feel comfortable, respected and supported throughout their experience with me.
Growth & change ~ Life continually changes and so do we. I believe transitions can provide opportunities to pause, reflect and discover new possibilities. My work is about supporting you through those moments with gentleness and curiosity.
Coming home to yourself ~ Perhaps the value closest to my heart is the idea that wellbeing isn't about fixing ourselves or becoming someone else. Sometimes it's simply about slowing down enough to reconnect with who we already are.
My intention
To create a space where you can pause, breathe, reconnect and feel supported.
A place where clinical knowledge and holistic wellbeing can sit alongside one another.
A place where you don't have to have all the answers.
And a place where you can simply be you.

Wellbeing Practitioner
My kinesiology journey began almost two decades ago, initially as a client myself. That experience opened the door to a whole new way of understanding the connection between our emotional, physical and energetic wellbeing.
Over the years, I have continued to learn, grow and develop my practice, bringing together the knowledge and experience from both sides of my world.
Two worlds, one approach
I don't see Western healthcare and Eastern or holistic wellbeing practices as opposing worlds. For me, they are two valuable perspectives that can sit alongside one another.
My nursing background brings clinical knowledge, experience and an understanding of the healthcare system, while my wellbeing practice offers space to explore the emotional, energetic and holistic aspects of our experience.
This is the foundation of Kathleen Kinesiology today — bringing my two worlds together to support you as a whole person.
“My wellbeing sessions are complementary to, rather than a replacement for, medical care. As a Registered Nurse, I value working alongside your existing healthcare team and encourage you to seek appropriate medical advice for any health concerns.”

What is Kinesiology?
(kin-easy-ology)
Kinesiology is a gentle, yet powerful natural therapy. It can support the emotional and physical wellbeing.
Using gentle muscle testing, it’s a natural bio-feedback mechanism which supplies information via the nerve pathway and meridian systems of the brain and body, known as our subconscious. It determines where there is an imbalance in the body.
Testimonials
Kathleen is a true healer, she has such a warm and calm nature that could make anyone feel comfortable. Not knowing anything about kinesiology before I went to see Kathleen, I can say I am a convert and highly recommend her to anyone who will listen. I always am amazed at how much better I feel after a session with Kathleen. She has helped me with physical ailments and emotional blockages. Now whenever I am struggling with anything in life, she is my go-to self-care treatment and I am so grateful to have her as my Kinesiologist. As a health practitioner myself, I have given countless people her card as I know how valuable these sessions are.
