Welcome to BodySense Holistic Kinesiology Therapies

HOW OFTEN DOES SUE NEED TO SEE YOU?
Most people experience some positive change after one balance session but will continue for on average 6 sessions to achieve very noticable and possibly significant positive results. The length of time taken over an issue and frequency of sessions is based on each individual's level of response. Many people continue to come in for a "Maintenance Balance" or "Tune Up" every month or so.
Children who attend Sue's Clinic for developmental, learning or behaviour issues generally make remarkable progress exhibiting very noticeable improvements in learning and behaviour within 4 to 8 visits. Children benefit greatly from a regular "Tune-Up" for not only continued ease of learning and socialisation but also regular boosts to overall health and well-being particularly in relation to anxiety levels or their Immune and Digestive Systems, which are crucial to good health, avoidance of food sensitivities and optimal learning.
SPECIALTY AREAS
Sue has developed specialty areas focusing on such issues as learning and behaviour, weight, digestion and food sensitivities, relationship issues, chronic pain or fatigue, fertility issues and pregnancy. Sue is passionate about giving children the best start they can have in life beginning at the beginning, seeing babies following their birth and then following them through school years
CHILDREN: LEARNING, BEHAVIOUR, SENSORY INTEGRATION & PRIMITIVE REFLEXES:
THEIR EFFECTS ON LIFE & LEARNING
Sue's years as an Infants and Primary teacher in the Hunter Region have provided her with great insights, understanding and care which she brings to her work with children.
She assists children (Adults too) through a series of sessions designed to improve sensory integration of all kinds of stimuli: auditory, visual, touch, texture, taste, and to integrate PRIMITIVE REFLEXES followed by POSTURAL REFLEXES. Primitive Reflexes are present at birth and are necessary for survival and sequential development during the first 6-12 months of life. They must be subdued before the Postural Reflexes are able to function well. Sue employs a program that involves Holistic Kinesiology and N.O.T., fun integrating exercises and Nutrition/Lifestyle advice which may result in lasting positive changes to your child's life and learning! Give your child the best life they can have. Come in for an assessment now!
A QUICK GUIDE TO NEED FOR ASSESSMENT.

- Find it difficult to handle changes?
- Seem to be over-reacting to sensory stimuli? (put hands over their ears, squint, complain of itches and textures, is a fussy or picky eater, whinges and cries easily?

- Wriggle, fidget, never sit still? Do they have "Ants in their pants?
- Find it difficult to follow instructions?
- Find it difficult to keep up in class?
- Find it difficult learning to read and write?
- Not seem to be reaching their potential, academically, socially or physically?
Answering "Yes" to any of these questions may indicate that your child has Sensory Integration and/or body co-ordination issues and possibly retained Primitive Reflexes that are interfering with their life and learning.

TESTIMONIALS
"My husband and I have a young daughter (9) who has unfortunately struggled to learn the art of reading. She was not showing any signs of learning difficulties in any other subjects so we felt quietly confident that she did not have an overall learning problem, particularly since her behaviour was faultless. Following all of the traditional avenues, our daughter completed a speech pathology programme, numerous in house school programmes, daily support in the home environment and a year of personal tutoring.
Unfortunately none of these methods were making much of a difference to her ability to read and spell. As a mother, you are always looking for answers and searching for other avenues to support your children and this is how we met Susie and tried Kinesiology. When we learnt that Susie had had years of experience teaching, together with her qualifications in Kinesiology, we felt sure that her level of understanding and empathy for our daughter’s needs would be met and we were not let down. Susie has provided extensive information to help us understand what our child needs and how we can help her. We are happy to say that our daughter’s reading has improved and we would not hesitate in recommending Susie to anyone."

"Sue has treated me for back problems four times. Each balance gave me months of freedom to do all the things I needed to do such as gardening and mowing. It also helped my sleeping. I would encourage anyone with body or mind problems to see Sue."
Maureen, 76 yrs, Singleton.
"Hi Sue,
Many thanks for your advice and treatments.
My first experience with Holistic Kinesiology with you was so different to the conventional medicine approach of focusing on addressing one solution for one problem without really considering the overall body balance. I am still taking the medicinal supplements that you recommended and soft tissue repair appears to be continuing satisfactorily. I didn't even realise that my posture was slightly slumped or that you could so easily correct this in the first session.
I wish you every success in your business and am sure that your clients will appreciate your open and approachable manner as much as the health benefits that you can provide for them."
Rodney 56 years
"Driving had always been a stressful experience for me. Reverse parking and changing lanes were a challenge because it seemed wherever my eyes went, my hands followed. A friend recommended I try kinesiology as she'd had similar issues with coordination and it had worked for her. Susie found I had problems with a reflex which was causing my head and shoulders to move together instead of independently. After one session with Susie the problem was resolved and driving has been a breeze! My balance and coordination have also improved which helps with my dancing. Thank you Susie!"
