SYMMETRY HEALTH KINESIOLOGY When Kelly Edwards speaks about her healing work as an intuitive Reiki master and kinesiologist, her passion for transforming people’s lives is evident. Her gentle nature and intense desire to help children and adults with anxiety and stress has become a lifelong journey for Kelly, who has created a healing and supportive space in a cosy corner of Gippsland. Her Nyora-based practice, Symmetry Health Kinesiology, has become a haven for healing the stress held in the mind, body and soul. “My aim is to help people make positive change in their life by reducing stress in the body,” Kelly explains. “Because we hold onto stress, and we hold onto it just via our thoughts. And it can sit out in our energetic field. There’s nine months before it becomes a problem.” The mum-of-three found her calling through her career as a massage therapist for the elderly more than two decades ago. “I was starting to feel things. I could feel energy around these people I was massaging. They’d go away and they’d look beautiful, and their cheeks would be all rosy and then they’d come back, and the same things were still there. It wasn’t enough.” While Kelly spent the last eight years home-schooling, she was also taking her children to see a Kinesiologist and was herself visiting an energy healer. It led her to studying kinesiology in 2012 – but her interest in the healing power of energy also continued.

She continued to see the incredible impact of reiki and kinesiology for her family, leading her to becoming a Reiki Master and teacher with a diploma in the Bach Flower Remedies. She combines the gentle, non-invasive services of reiki, bio resonance therapy, integrated healing, facial emotional therapy and Qi Qong to ease the stress and traumas of her clients. “My biggest passion is working with kids that are suffering with anxiety and school refusal and learning difficulties. I’ve seen a lot of it in kids in the home school community. But I also support mums and dads in their stress as well. “There’s not really anyone teaching kids to be able to use those tools. In saying that the feedback that I’ve had from parents and the kids has been really, good. I’m teaching them emotional intelligence. Being able to help regulate themselves. They’re doing it on themselves, I’m not teaching them to go out and do it on other people.” Kelly is also using her intuitive talents to work with mums who are feeling heavy under the weight of everyday pressures. “I get a lot of mums that are burnt out, lost their direction in terms of being so busy being mums, they’ve forgotten what they’re feeling. Really stressed. So, I help a lot of mums with reiki and combining that with kinesiology as well.” Kelly undertakes muscle testing to get biofeedback from her client’s bodies, so she can tap into their ailments.
