Kinesiology is an amazing tool to support people to achieve greater health, vitality and happiness. While it is very effective and often profound, it is always a journey to gather insight and awareness and dedicate to a new way of being. our Brisbane kinesiologist Csilla Newham is multi-skilled with a wealth of experience in helping patients to uncover what is causing their issues and to shift their blocks to healing during treatment.
Kinesiology encourages harmony and emotional well being. It can identify imbalances and works by releasing energetic blocks to improve overall health.
Simply, it releases stress from many different body systems to allow an individual’s natural awareness to bring the body back into balance and optimal function. It does this by combining ancient healing techniques with new advances in neurology, physiology, structure and energy medicine. It utlilses feedback from your own body via muscle testing to work on various health issues.

Kinesiology techniques we use for our treatments
Muscle monitoring is a skill that involves using muscle testing to get feedback from your body about what is out of balance, and why. Kinesiology works on the whole system, but during the session stress may be identified in certain areas. For example, if you're chronically low in iron, there can be stress around the absorption of iron. If you have an allergy, then sometimes the root cause can be identified. In today's world kinesiology is more of a relevant therapy then ever and is one of our most effective treatments in patients that have complex and chronic health issues.

Our kinesiology treatment process
Before your session you will fill in an intake form where we can assess where you are at in your emotional health and general health. Your practitioner will then have a brief discussion with you before betting you up on the table. She will then use muscle testing to locate energetic imbalances and to restore balance to areas that are under stress. This holistic approach is quite in depth and our practitioners work to help you heal and reconcile whatever comes up. While this is an energy medicine it is also very scientific and our kinesiologist has extensive training on the physiological processes of the body. It is non invasive and often can greatly help with all kinds of symptoms and general wellbeing.

What to expect from your first kinesiology session at our Brisbane clinic
An initial kinesiology coaching session is $220 and is 90 minutes in length. Follow up appointments are $205.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your first session to ground yourself and grab a cup of tea. Life is busy but we need space for healing, so give yourself enough time to arrive easily so you can focus on your session.
Csilla Newham is our kinesiologist – she has been practicing for over 15 years and is a wealth of knowledge.
It’s hard to describe exactly what seeing a kinesiologist is like but once you experience it you will get it! There are so many insights to be gained from the first session about your body’s energy systems, your physical body, your energy flow and more. The aim is to reduce stress and support the natural flow of your body’s well being. Your first kinesiology balance is about getting to the core of what is happening for you right now.
Your kinesiology journey may be one session or last over the weeks and months. A lot of our chronic or complex clients may have a session every 2-4 weeks for the firs few months to really get into the issue. Complementary therapies like the gentle art of kinesiology are so beneficial to your overall wellness and healing.
After your treatment you may feel tired and this is very normal. As the body is processing through the stress sometimes you can feel different for a few days. Your practitioner will prepare you for what is to come but we do recommend rest after kinesiology – not rushing into the next thing!
What our clients say...
Megan Usher2024-03-27I can’t speak highly enough of Katherine and her team. Since my husband and I have been seeing Katherine, our physical and mental health has rapidly improved. Which has impacted our relationships and the general mood of our household. I have personally seen many doctors for my symptoms, but it wasn’t until I started to see Katherine that I truly began to understand my body and start the healing process. I have experienced a dramatic improvement after taking the herbal medicines. My husband had been told by every doctor and specialist that he was totally healthy, and yet he was severely struggling with his symptoms. Katherine was able to identify the reasons for his symptoms very quickly, and he too has experienced a big improvement. I know we still have a way to go, and changing habits can take time. But we are so grateful to have found the Shift Clinic and to finally feel like we are getting somewhere with our health. Katherine’s podcast ‘The Shift with Katherine Maslen’ is also an eye opener and very informative! I have learned so much about the women’s body through listening.Di Bailey2024-01-29My daughter referred me to Vanessa Coben as I was experiencing gut issues and was unable to detect or remedy my problems. Vanessa advised me to take on challenges in gut testing and bloods to determine the direction I needed. Vanessa's regular appointments, diagnosis and herbal formulas have exhalted my confidence in a healthy gut. Vanessa is professional, caring, understanding and a very gentle soul. I recommend her to anyone experiencing same problems as I had. I also recommend Shift at Brisbane Natural Health as their staff and administration are warm and friendly inviting a welcoming atmosphere to clients. All the best to everyone at Shift.Michon van Staden2024-01-12Katherine and the team at The Shift Clinic were super supportive, friendly and welcoming. After 6 months of treatment with Katherine, my energy is back and my immunity is stronger!Vicki Machan2023-10-22I stumbled across Katherine Maslen and her aptly named Shift Clinic through a podcast by Shelly Craft of The Aging Project. Katherine spoke with passion about gut health, which was an area I have struggled with for over a decade. I looked her up and booked an appointment for an assessment and couldn’t get there fast enough ! I was excited and confident that this time I was going to see a change. I wasn’t wrong. The most amazing thing about the Shift Clinic is their team, who are embracing and supportive and work as a collaborative unit. I was ‘project managed’ through months of healing, both physically and holistically. I was introduced to a form of ‘therapy’ I’d never even considered when I met Jess, the clinics Intuitive Healer, who helped me unpack and resolve some personal issues that were roadblocking my emotional progression forward. This complemented my gut healing progress that was being managed so well by both Katherine and Vanessa. I would never have found Jess if not for Katherine, or entertained the idea of something so ‘left field’ for me. The whole experience of being with Shift has been healing, nurturing and uplifting. I’ve progressed on a physical and spiritual level, they’ve educated me on myself, and the team are now an integral part of my life I won’t be leaving behind. I enjoy immersing myself in the tranquility of the clinic, the genuine warmth of the girls at reception when I arrive, the soft music, the herbal tea brewing. It’s like a big, warm hug. I can’t thank them enough or recommend them to enough people. They have changed my life !Nicole Ann2023-07-28There probably isn't enough space to write the long review that Katherine and the whole team at The Shift Clinic truly deserve but I'll start with this. You saved my life. Words will never be enough to express how grateful myself and my family are for the journey that I continue to be on with my healing and growth. The Shift membership is one of the best health models on offer in the world and when things were incredibly dark at my lowest, I was able to receive the help needed from all of my practitioners at the clinic who all knew my history at every appointment without having to continually tell my story from the beginning. It is so beneficial as a patient that all of you work together to heal people. Not only have you all helped lead me towards the light of health, you've been giving me the tools needed to understand how to grow and heal myself. The added bonus I wasn't expecting is how I'm now healing my own home too. The work you all do is changing lives. Thank you for changing mine. I am eternally grateful. XxSteven Creevey2023-04-18I started seeing Shift during the Covid pandemic and I was struggling with my overall health. I found the team to be very supportive and focused on the job of assessment, ongoing regular support and providing me with the best supplements and advice for my various health challenges. Thank you Shift and Vanessa for all of your help and guidance.Brendan Vasen2022-12-09Katherine is wonderful and helped me get on the right track with my diet and healthy eating definitely RecommendIzzy Tanzer2022-12-05I couldn’t recommend The Shift clinic and especially Dr Vanessa. After being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease my body felt like it was crashing and I needed help. I would not be where I am today without the help from Dr Vanessa and the knowledge she has passed onto me. She made the process easier and was always there for support when I needed it. The clinic is such a beautiful space and you feel calm as soon as you walk in. The receptionists were always so lovely and helpful and explained the membership process easily. Thank you so much Shift Team xCath 712022-07-04It would be fair to say that the last two years, in particular, have been a challenge for me personally. After battling with any number of illnesses over a long period of time, my partner of six years entered a period of rapidly declining health and was deemed a multimorbidity patient. As a result, our planned wedding happened much quicker than expected & I gave up my job to become his full-time carer before he passed away. During his decline my sole focus was him, in some ways to the detriment of my own health and whilst I acknowledge that grief played a major part in some of my weight gain, I also know that I’d developed bad habits over many years; snacking, emotional eating, convenience eating, living a mostly sedentary lifestyle to name just a few. If the loss of my husband taught me anything it is that life is too short and that our health matters! I needed to find something to help me rediscover joy in my life and to help me feel like my old self again. Following a personal recommendation and some google research of my own I came across The Shift Clinic. Having always been an advocate of natural therapies I thought this could be just what I needed to help me find my way back to lightness – physically and emotionally. I joined the 8-week weight loss challenge and I’ve not looked back. My appointments with Hypnotherapist, Rebecca and Naturopath & Nutritionist, Carolyn have provided me with the tools to; identify self-sabotaging behaviours, acknowledge all parts of me, start small, set realistic and achievable goals, feel supported, get back up when I fall, move – even if it’s only for 10 mins at a time, celebrate small wins, stick to the plan and remember that anything is possible. 8-weeks down the track I’m just under 10kg lighter physically. I’ve still got more weight to lose but for the first time in a long time, I know I’ll achieve it because the biggest ‘shift’ for me has been in how I think and how I feel, the routines & rituals I’ve put in place and the way I speak to myself. The Shift Clinic really can help you ‘shift’ you just have to be willing to let it.
