Biofield Tuning uses sound vibrations from tuning forks to detect and harmonize energetic imbalances in the biofield—the energy field surrounding the body. Ancestral patterns, which can manifest as emotional blocks, limiting beliefs, or physical tension, are often stored in this field. By applying sound to these areas, Biofield Tuning helps to release stuck energy, allowing inherited traumas or patterns to be acknowledged, integrated, and cleared. This process can bring greater emotional freedom, clarity, and a sense of connection to one’s true self.

Kinesiology can benefit people of all ages and fitness levels, including athletes, those recovering from injuries, people with chronic conditions, mental health conditions, and anyone seeking to improve their physical health and well-being by enhancing movement, function, and overall performance. The practice is based on the core science of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Kinesiology enhances overall physical health and well-being by improving movement, posture, and balance; reducing pain and injury risk; and promoting strength and flexibility, ultimately leading to a more active and healthier lifestyle. Take control of your health and performance with a kinesiologist by your side. Contact me for more information.

Do you wake up with jaw tension? Or perhaps you grind your teeth at night? One thing you can do to ease the tension is to massage your jaw before bed. Simply put a fist—the first two knuckles work best—on either side of your face, just below your ears, right at the corner of the jaw (near the temporomandibular joint—that’s what TMJ stands for), then just gently traction down. Let your jaw relax and even hang open a bit as you do this. Do 3–5 passes and head to bed. Repeat anytime you notice tension in the jaw.
