Whether you’re looking for personal development, want to help family and friends, or are considering a future as a professional kinesiologist, this course provides a supportive and thorough starting point.
You’ll learn in a small, friendly group with plenty of hands-on practice and individual guidance. As an accredited tutor with the Kinesiology Association, I’m passionate about helping every student develop confidence in using these techniques safely and effectively.

If you’d like to discover whether kinesiology is right for you, I’d love to welcome you to the course.
It is open to everyone of 18 years or older.
I recommend however, that you do not enrol for the course if you are already studying another topic, or if you are finding life to be very stressful at the moment. As soon as you feel these stages have passed, then please get in touch.
I am unfortunately unable to provide adequate access for people in wheel-chairs.
I am an accredited tutor for the Kinesiology Association (KA).
“When I first discovered kinesiology, I was amazed by the way it brought together so many different aspects of health into one coherent approach. Years later, I still find it rewarding—not only because of what I’ve learned myself, but because I have the privilege of watching students gain confidence and discover just how much they’re capable of.”
“This is a truly wonderful kinesiology foundation course, and I am so grateful to have been a part of it!
Sue has a great love and talent for energy work and this really shines through the course, making the offering quite unique. Sue also runs optional metaphysical focus groups outside of the course, which complemented my learning beautifully.
Sue holds the space perfectly, with small numbers and a lovely setting. Throughout the course, we were introduced to previous course members, helping us to build a new community of like-minded professionals. I can truly say that I’ve met friends for life.
The course is fast paced – Sue is very thorough in her teaching and there is a lot of information to digest at each module. You should also be prepared to go on a deep personal healing journey as the course progresses. For me, this was the huge unexpected benefit of working with Sue, and I know that this will make me a better practitioner in the long term.” Sarah B

Why learn Kinesiology?
Perhaps you want to learn how to communicate with the body through its natural muscle response ability to help friends and family? Maybe you plan to pursue your studies and become a professional Kinesiology practitioner. Many people find that their own health issues improve during the course through the benefit of being worked-on by fellow students.
Whatever your reason, this is the perfect place to start.
What pre-course study is recommended?
You will be learning the anatomical names of the human body, notably bones and muscles.
I have recorded a summary of the main bones and their location within the body, the types of bones, the function and examples of nutritional substances that support healthy bones. Please see this video in You Tube Introduction to the skeletal structure of the human body
You will also be learning how to use Bach Flower Essences to gently but effective diffuse emotional matters. Please see this 10 minute You Tube video, Introduction to Bach Flower Essences
What others say about having learned Kinesiology
James is a rising star with energy-work and he has opened a natural sensitivity to feel the movement of energy in his own body and that of others. I commented on this development and he replied:
“Thanks Sue, it’s really exciting and feels so good to have a sort of super power. Although I have lots to learn I’m really enjoying the course, and mostly the tutoring as that’s why I’ve joined. Normally on muggle courses people start drifting off for the graveyard shift, but I could keep going until 10 o’clock in the evening. Absolutely engaged and loving the experience so a massive thanks.” James Tallett
“Thank you for all your teaching, guidance and support. It’s made learning a lot easier. I’m forever grateful and look forward to continuing my journey.” Michelle
“Thank you so much Sue for your excellent classes and for highlighting the specific importance of the emotional realm – this has been invaluable. I have had so much success already with all of my patients.” Mara
“Day after day on the course, we learned amazing things, I’ve never said ‘wow’ so often about anything else, ever!”
“I am about to go into my final module (Module 6 of the Foundation course) and final assessment this weekend with Sue and the other trainees and I am feeling sad. I cannot put into words just how much I have enjoyed this course and meeting Sue and the other ladies and how much I will miss them. I also cannot believe how much I have learnt in these 6 months and I’m looking forward to putting my new skills into practice. My confidence has been building after each module and doing treatments on people as part of our monthly homework assignments.
During our practice sessions in class as we worked on each other, there was a lot of healing that took place and I honestly feel like I am leaving this course a better, more confident, calm and capable person. I am truly grateful for that – it has been a significant milestone in my healing journey.
Not only is Sue funny, warm and kind, she is very professional and made sure we got through the syllabus every weekend of the course even though often we would go a little “off piste” as she showed us some of the techniques that were more spiritual and esoteric (which I absolutely LOVED). Sue is also going through a tough time and yet she has not allowed that to affect the training.
I highly recommend taking the Foundation Course with Sue. She is quite simply BRILLIANT.” Ana Pedro
“I had no idea when I signed up for the foundation course with Sue, that it was going to be so amazing. What we are learning is mind-blowing. Sue is truly gifted and inspiring – her knowledge is incredible. It has also been so wonderful to work with my fellow trainees, we have learnt so much about each other and supported one another through this incredible journey. This course keeps on giving.” AnneMarie
“After having Kinesiology sessions in the last 18 months, I became interested in studying more about this holistic therapy.
I am now half way through my foundation course with Sue and am really looking forward to the next month’s study weekend.
Sue has a very cheerful and calm and clear approach to teaching Kinesiology. Her methodical and organised way in showing each muscle testing is very easy to understand. She is also full of fun and wide knowledge making her an amazing teacher, and I am very glad I chose to do this course with her. Daksha x”
“Thank you to Sue Southern for sharing all her incredible knowledge within Kinesiology, life and beyond during her Foundation of Kinesiology course.
Sue is so passionate about what she does – and this shone through as she guided us through the course with such energy, enthusiasm, knowledge, compassion and professionalism.
The 6 month course was held in a comfortable room and was well structured with good handouts and supporting documents. It was paced well with encouragement to ask as many questions as needed. I couldn’t wait for each weekend session to learn new things, spend time with Sue and the other delegates and receive some Kinesiology.
I am still blown away with all that I’ve learned about Kinesiology and also about myself. I am buzzing with excitement as I know this is just the beginning.
Thank you Sue 🙏 I cannot thank you and recommend you highly enough.”
“This course was a very comprehensive and broad-based introduction to the amazing healing art of Kinesiology and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more on this subject. Sue’s knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for Kinesiology is infectious and she was a really thorough and patient teacher.”
“It’s like I’ve been given a super power!”
“Great improvement in health for me and my family and the start of a new career too!”
“It’s opened up a whole new world of possibilities and just when I ask myself – ‘can it get any better than this?’ – it truly does.”
“Like being let in on a big secret! I feel very privileged”
“I have been blown away by the effectiveness of kinesiology. Studying kinesiology is one of the best decisions I have ever made.”

What further reading would you recommend on the subject?
There are many sources of further information that I would confidently recommend, I’ve listed some of my favourites here. None of those listed is required for the Foundation Course as everything you need is provided. However, I know from my own experience what the thirst for knowledge feels like!
The Body, A guide for occupants by Bill Bryson is an easy-to-understand appreciation of anatomy and function of the body, although no understanding of the effects of emotional matters is included.
Metaphysical Anatomy, your body is talking, are you listening by Evette Rose is an excellent reference book which shows the power of emotions on the body and its health.
Energy Medicine: How to use your body’s energies for optimum health and vitality
by Donna Eden and David Feinstein.
Heal Your Body: The Mental Causes for Physical Illness and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them
by Louise Hay.
The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto.
The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles by Bruce H. Lipton. I still rate this as one of the best books I have ever read.
Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins M.D. Ph.D. This book was pivotal in me starting to learn kinesiology.
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a powerful natural health care practice that treats every aspect of a person. For more about the history of Kinesiology and a short explanatory video, please click on this link.
Using muscle testing as a language for communicating with the body, we can discover what it needs to repair, heal or just stay well. We can identify and fix imbalances in the body’s finely connected systems, bringing the whole person-body and mind – into harmonious balance. A wide range of conditions can find improvement with Kinesiology treatments.
Muscle testing is not about determining the strength of a person; only very gentle pressure is applied to feel if the response is locked, spongy or unlocked. Each response tells us something of the state of the body and its related electrical circuitry. The biofeedback response is used to determine many things such as food intolerance, nutritional shortfalls, blockages in the lymphatic system and emotional problems that are causing disruptions. The emphasis is always on doing what is required to make the client feel better; the biofeedback tells us the priority order to correct imbalances.
Kinesiology is a safe, effective, natural and complete complementary therapy.
“A new client came with a pain in his right side that was especially painful after eating; this problem had been a worry for two years. A number of Doctor consultations had done nothing to solve this problem and a colonoscopy was arranged within the next two weeks. During my treatment the client was astonished at the difference he felt in the muscle testing and could instantly see how the muscle response was significant. I asked what was going on in his life two years ago. A close family member illness had been a big worry. During the treatment the pain started and then quickly disappeared.
He set off for home feeling ‘lighter’, some other current worries didn’t seem important now, and he was wondering if he should cancel the invasive colon procedure. He texted me the next day to say that he had eaten a big meal with no pain for the first time in two years.”
