Welcome- I’m Sarah, a qualified Systematic Kinesiologist in Cheltenham.
I offer sessions that explore what your body needs for better balance — digestion, hormones, energy, food sensitivities, emotional wellbeing and more.
I stumbled upon kinesiology in 2024 and was immediately drawn to its logic and clarity — the ability to ask the body what it needs and receive a clear answer. After years of really struggling with peri‑menopause, it was refreshing to finally gain some insight into what could truly help. Within six months, I found myself feeling better than I had in years, and I was no longer using HRT or antidepressants — a change that felt huge for me personally.
That spark led me here, and I can’t wait to support others on their journey.
If you’re really struggling with hormonal or emotional lows and digestive issues, I’m your woman — I’ve been there, got the T‑shirt, and I know how much kinesiology can help.
Some of the concerns it can help with include:
Systematic Kinesiology is a gentle, whole-body approach that uses simple muscle testing to discover what your body needs to rebalance—physically, emotionally, chemically, and energetically. Think of it as having a conversation with your body—without words.
Whether you’re experiencing physical discomfort, emotional overwhelm, or simply a sense that something feels “off,” we’ll work together to identify the root cause and restore balance.
Your session may include techniques such as:
Alongside testing how your body responds to specific foods, I also look deeper into why certain foods may be difficult for your system to cope with.
Using Systematic Kinesiology, we explore whether your reactions may be linked to underlying issues such as leaky gut, an imbalanced microbiome, parasites, fungal overgrowth, bacteria or Candida. The aim is not just to avoid foods forever, but to gently strengthen and rebalance the body so it can tolerate more with ease.
I’ve experienced this myself — after avoiding eggs for six years, kinesiology helped uncover an underlying bacterial imbalance, and once that was addressed, I was able to enjoy eggs again.
Using kinesiology, I assess the health and balance of every gland in the endocrine system: the hypothalamus, pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroids, thymus, adrenal glands, and reproductive glands.
Feeling wiped out despite a full night’s sleep? Anxiety, brain fog, or sudden mood swings? It could be more than hormones—it might be adrenal fatigue, a deeper imbalance recognized in holistic health.
Digestive discomfort, bloating, fatigue, or feeling “off”? Your Ileocecal Valve (ICV) might be the hidden culprit. I’ll test for tension and help restore its natural rhythm—bringing your digestion back into balance.
Identifying what your digestion needs—soothing irritation, boosting enzymes or stomach acid, combining both for full support, or targeting fat breakdown and gut lining repair.
We’ll explore what’s behind a breakout—spots, rashes, lesions, bumps, or bunions—by identifying stressed meridians that may be affecting skin function and detox pathways.
The jaw joint (TMJ) affects posture, cranial nerves, emotional stress, digestion, hormonal balance, and energy flow. Releasing TMJ tension often brings rapid, whole-body shifts.
I can also test for food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, and other imbalances using a hair sample, which can be dropped off or posted. This method is especially useful for children, as it’s non-invasive and doesn’t require them to be present during testing.
Through this approach, I can also identify supplements that support the body in clearing bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal infections, helping to gently rebalance the system.
Kinesiology is the science of testing muscles.
Muscle testing taps into the body’s biochemistry and electrical responses, allowing practitioners to “read” what’s going on beneath the surface.
By applying light pressure to a muscle and observing its response, practitioners can identify areas of stress and determine what the body needs to restore balance and vitality.
The arm is often used simply because it’s accessible and easy to work with during a session, but many other muscles will be tested too—each offering unique insights into different systems.
Kinesiology is one of the fastest-growing complementary therapies in the UK, widely used by chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and dentists around the world. It has gained popularity in the USA, Canada, and Australia as a trusted approach to supporting health.
Developed by chiropractors in the 1960s, Systematic Kinesiology combines chiropractic principles with ancient Chinese wisdom, using gentle muscle testing as a way for the body to communicate its needs. This scientific and holistic approach helps uncover imbalances and restore health using tried-and-tested techniques.

Each session is unique, but it may include:
Yes—through muscle testing, we explore how your body responds to different foods. This can reveal hidden sensitivities that may be affecting your energy, digestion, or mood.
You’re not obliged to, but I’d recommend it to help ensure longer-lasting benefits from your session. Supplements are matched to your body using muscle testing, so what’s suggested is uniquely suited to you—it’s personal, not prescriptive.
Please note: supplements typically range from £20 to £80 and are not included in the cost of treatment. You’ll need to order them separately.
Whilst I’m training, sessions typically last 2 hours, giving us time to explore what’s going on, test, and apply techniques without rushing.
Feel free to bring any medical records, supplements, or anything you think might be relevant to your health.
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. Avoid jeans, dresses, or skirts if possible, as they can make muscle testing more difficult. Sessions are carried out fully clothed, though occasionally I may need brief skin contact for specific techniques.
Most clients notice positive shifts after their first session, with deeper changes often emerging after 3 to 4.
The body tends to reveal things in layers, so each session may bring new insights into what it needs or is ready to release. Occasionally, new symptoms may appear between sessions—this is often just your body highlighting the next area it’s ready to work on.
Regular treatments help support your body’s natural balance and build resilience over time.
If you feel stuck, fatigued, out of balance, or simply curious about what your body is trying to tell you—yes. This work is for anyone ready to explore health from the inside out.

I mainly offer treatments from my home, but I’m happy to travel to you by arrangement. (Just a quick note—we do have a cat, in case of any allergies.)
Meridian Tapping Therapy (MTT) is a powerful emotional‑release technique, similar to EFT, that uses focused statements and acupressure tapping to access the subconscious mind and clear old, unhelpful beliefs.
Acupuncture energy operates on a 24-hour clock. Each organ system receives its moment of energetic spotlight during a two-hour period throughout each 24-hour day. This is particularly interesting to a kinesiologist because problems or symptoms that tend to assert themselves at the same time every day or night can reveal clues about your physical and emotional wellbeing.
Hidden food sensitivities can quietly affect your digestion, skin, hormones, and energy—without you even realising. Instead of guessing or following restrictive diets, kinesiology allows us to test exactly which foods are stressing your system and which ones support healing. In this blog, you’ll find healthy swaps for gluten, cow dairy, and refined sugar, plus guidance on how long to avoid them and why. It’s a practical, personalised way to reduce inflammation and feel better—starting with what’s on your plate.
Candida overgrowth can cause a wide range of symptoms—from digestive issues and sugar cravings to fatigue, brain fog, and recurrent infections. But instead of guessing what might help, kinesiology allows us to test exactly what your body needs to correct the imbalance.
Feeling exhausted even after a full night’s sleep? Struggling with anxiety, brain fog, or mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere? You might be dealing with something deeper than hormonal shifts—something known in holistic health as adrenal fatigue.
Do you feel shaky, foggy, or on edge… even after eating? You might be riding a silent blood sugar rollercoaster—and you wouldn’t be alone.
Although hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) is often overlooked in mainstream medicine, Systematic Kinesiology recognises it as a subtle yet impactful imbalance that can influence our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Let’s explore the chain reaction and uncover what your body might be trying to tell you.
If you’ve ever had digestive discomfort that you just couldn’t pinpoint — bloating, fatigue, or a feeling of being “off” — your Ileocecal Valve (ICV) might be the hidden culprit. This small but powerful valve plays a vital role in digestive flow and detoxification, and when it’s out of balance, the effects can ripple across the whole body.
A properly functioning stomach sets the stage for efficient digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being. Let’s explore how hydrochloric acid (HCl), enzymes, and lifestyle practices influence digestive health — and what can go wrong when stomach acid levels are imbalanced.
Muscle testing connects us to your body’s feedback system. Each muscle links to a different organ or gland, offering insight into how your systems are functioning.
For example, if your thyroid or adrenals are under stress, certain muscles might weaken during testing. Others may show up when reproductive hormones are out of balance or when gut-related symptoms surface. The body prioritises what it wants to address first
