For over 20 years, I have been working in the field of holistic wellbeing, specializing in the broad realm of Applied Kinesiology. It has been such a gratifying journey being a part of thousands of peoples healing process.
This led me into becoming especially passionate about working with kids, for two main reasons:
I have helped many adults clear and work through childhood traumas and unresolved aspects of their lives (including my own). Many issues that could have easily been resolved at those past given times, had they had the right tools to help them.
Secondly, realizing my practice was often flooded with parents bringing their young kids for appointments, most of whom were struggling with difficulties at school, learning struggles, dealing with bullying and just holding onto so much emotional trauma which led to anxiety, depression, lack of self confidence and belief in themselves , physical health problems and overall a diminished quality of life.
I would always send kids home after their appointments, with some exercises to practice which would help them to help themselves and this led to incredible results. Many moms asked me why I don’t put together a course to teach kids, parents and teachers, and that led me to doing just that. Over the past 10 years I have run many of these workshops in South Africa and hearing the feedback of not only how kids
have been using these techniques for themselves, but also for their friends and relatives in many different situations.
Nicolette Liebenberg is a professional Specialized Kinesiologist that has been in practice for the last 21 years. Nicolette has worked a lot with children and learning difficulties and has been offering this course for many years with wonderful results. She currently has a practice in KZN and is a TFH Instructor. Nicolette has two of her own children who have learned and use the techniques often themselves.
"Nicolette is an empathetic and intuitive practitioner who has been an incredible support to me and my family over many many years. The sessions are effective, non-intrusive and gentle - both in hands-on and in surrogate sessions. Nicolette has a non judgemental approach in resolving issues, with a natural flair for counselling and open communication. Kinesiology has saved my physical, emotional and mental health on numerous occasions. (and the same goes for my children). Over the years, Nicolette has taught me and my daughter various Kinesiology techniques to help us shift our energy, quieten our nervous system, and take us from the low hum of stress into a more balanced state. These techniques have been easy to integrate into our daily practice. We have utilized them when we have encountered stress or low energy."
"Nicolette is a wonderful kinesiologist. She has a wealth of wisdom
& experience. My kids love going to her & actually ask me to make
appointments when they feel they need to go. Afterwards they feel
more like themselves & feel lighter & stress free. She has given
Tanya valuable tools to use herself when feeling exam stress. That
has been so beneficial for her. Nicolette is able to read the children &
therefore able to give them the right treatment. I would highly
recommend her treatments."
"I used to be someone who was very skeptical of holistic treatments.
However, after all these years of treatments from Nicolette, the tables
have turned completely, and i will never return to conventional medicine
should any future ailments arise. I cannot recommend Nicolette and her
practise enough - she provides you with the tools of living a fulfilled
life, whereby you are able to focus and zone in on all the greatness
and positivity that is and can be around you."
Kinesiology - what is this? Hogwash?! NO - my life saver!! I first got to know Kinesiology in 2014 when we were expecting our first child. A few years later with our second born, i saw my husbands cousin at a funeral and told her that my baby was just screaming, and i already had cut out all the bloating foods. She said "let me test quickly," and she did. She told me to cut out coffee and my child was a different person. Years later, life got hectic and my anxiety was getting worse - so I found Nicolette. My life has changed since then. After every session i feel so much more grounded, so much more "me." She helps my kids, me and a lot of friends with her amazing work. This year March my husband had a freak accident and was in ICU for 4 weeks. She helped us through these life threatening weeks and also his recovery after (and still to date) I must say I JUST LOVE it, and i am so happy to have her around the corner, and she is always making a plan to help me, when I am "off my track" to put me back on. Dankeschon Nicolette, you are an absolute star.
"Nicolette's teachings have been life changing. We have a high functioning autistic son and a high EQ daughter. These teachings have helped both of them to regulate and process. And helped me navigate busy mom, working mom, tired mom etc. And simple exercises have become standard practice now. We remind each other to do them and love the difference it makes. I also use them with clients as a life coach and massage therapist. The benefits are undeniable."
"Our go to when feeling overwhelmed, angry, sad, scared, nervous or tired... a switch, a zip and a minute of ESR. It helps every time!."
"I don't know or understand exactly how kinesiology works, but it works.
I have done a few remote sessions on my son, and remarkably, he has a
huge improvement or turn around. Nicolette always gives great feedback
and has a very reassuring way about her. I highly recommend her and the
treatment."
"I attended the Kinesiology for kids workshop run by Nicolette in 2015.
Since then I have used some of the strategies and techniques at home and at school. Being a teacher, means dealing with a range of children and their different emotions and needs.
The ESR (Emergency stress release) is an easy and effective technique, that I use both in the classroom and at home to calm stressful situations. It is useful in both adults and children.
I use the "Energy connections" technique on a daily basis in my classroom to assist the children to "regroup" between different activities. It helps them to be more 'centered' and regain a calm feeling as well as be more focused.
I highly recommend this 'revamped' kinesiology for kids manual."
