I know that you’ve been feeling like you have a bigger purpose in the world that your current career isn’t allowing, and you’ve been desiring a change that gives you the flexibility to earn money on your own terms.

You’ve been feeling a pull toward learning kinesiology so you can take your own life experiences and passions and make a positive impact on the physical health and emotional well-being of others.

You’re tired of working in a job that doesn’t feel fulfilling or purposeful anymore.

Or, if you’re working in holistic health and healing modalities already, you want to bring your current clients even better results. You’re ready to take the step, study kinesiology, and become a wealth of knowledge about energy, the human body, and how emotions affect everything. You want to be part of the next wave of people who heal others.

The problem is that you don’t know how to switch careers or introduce a whole new modality into your current work without it feeling impossible or daunting.

You don’t know how you’re going to fit in all the study and come out the other side successful and confident.

The thought of not taking action on something you’re truly drawn to makes you feel like you aren’t living up to your full potential. Your soul feels like time is wasted as you stay on repeat.

I believe you shouldn’t have to stay in a career that dims your light. Nor should you have to feel frozen because you’re worried about the financial impact of making such a big shift (don’t worry, I have you covered with this!).

THE KINESIOLOGY CERTIFICATE

Your pathway to a purposeful career on your terms

A 14-month immersion in a supportive, body-based program that provides the foundational knowledge and strategy to confidently graduate as an accredited Kinesiologist, ready to build a profitable practice, accelerate to six figures, or simply make a meaningful impact by helping others.

Located in the serene Dandenong Ranges of Gembrook, this program blends face-to-face and online learning, giving you the flexibility to study in a way that suits your lifestyle.

I believe that moving into Kinesiology gets to be simple and rewarding.

You just need a supportive environment that is also full of accountability and spaciousness (which is where I thrive most as a teacher), a roadmap that will allow you to start practising and earning money just six months into your study, and a curriculum that teaches you how to actually transfer your learnings to real-world client situations and all the systems you need to thrive in business.

I also know what it's like to make the jump from one career to another and step into the world of being a student again while managing other life responsibilities. This is why it has been so important to tailor my school to these needs. I am the teacher who gets it. My experience, passion, knowledge, journey as a kinesiology student, and investment in my student's futures, including business support opportunities, make me the perfect person to learn from.

If you need proof, see what some of my students have said.

I understand what it's like to do the day-to-day work for others, never feeling the reward, recognition, or sense that you are truly making a difference in the world.

Her passion and enthusiasm for kinesiology are evident in her teaching. Kathy demonstrated genuine care, patience, and understanding for my learning needs, creating a comfortable and relaxed environment.

    I completed my Kinesiology certificate with Kathy at Connecting Balance, and I can wholeheartedly say that not only was it the best schooling experience I’ve ever had in my life, but it was also one of the most enriching things I’ve ever done for myself. This is a life-changing course; the tools and knowledge I’ve gained are phenomenal, and I continue to implement them on myself, within my family, and with the people around me daily. I feel far more equipped to handle any situation that presents itself to me. Kathy is the most knowledgeable and nurturing teacher you could ever have. She’s the perfect blend of professional, fun, guide, mentor, and friend any student could ask for. I always felt supported, heard, and nurtured. She definitely goes above and beyond for her students and truly has the patience of a saint. I feel forever blessed that I came across her path. My life is forever changed in the most positive way.

  • Kayla H

    I have completed the Certifcate in Kinesiology with Kathy, and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. Kinesiology will open up a whole new world for you, and you really can’t be in better hands than Kathy’s. Her knowledge still amazes me after years of knowing her, but that’s not what made this experience exceptional. What made it amazing was Kathy’s patience and understanding as a teacher. I’ve never felt more comfortable, supported, seen, and accommodated by a teacher before. My advice to anyone thinking about studying under Kathy would be to approach her about it, and in two seconds, you’ll see what a beautiful person she is and how at ease you can feel asking all your questions to determine if kinesiology is for you. I’m so excited for all those heading into this course—your life is about to change for the better.

  • Jessica K

    I have almost completed my PKP Kinesiology certificate with Kathy of Connecting Balance. This has been the most incredible and mind-blowing learning experience! As a myotherapist of 12 years, I went into this course with a drive to help others more, and it has certainly provided me with the skills and knowledge to do so. This course has also been pivotal in my own health and well-being transformation, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Kathy is highly knowledgeable and the most supportive and patient teacher I have ever had. I look forward to studying other levels with her in the future.

  • Renee R

    I first started working with Kathy in 2018 as a client. I had never experienced kinesiology before and was searching for support and a way back to myself after the profound loss of my mum while I was pregnant and the traumatic birth of my daughter. Kathy was like a beacon of light in the darkness, and through her kindness, unwavering support, and honesty, she helped me find my way out of the shadows. Having a session with Kathy is truly a gift to yourself you won't regret. Inspiring me to become the best version of myself and using my experiences of grief and trauma to help others, I have recently completed my PKP Kinesiology Certification through Connecting Balance. Kathy is an amazing and ever-so-patient teacher. She is honest, down-to-earth, and made the learning process fun, honoring how unique it is for each individual. Kinesiology just makes sense of whatever chaos you have going on, and I highly recommend Kathy as a practitioner and a teacher.

With over 10 years of experience as a kinesiologist and having guided many students to graduation—many of whom now have successful careers or are beginning them with my unwavering support—I am here to guide you from the K to the Y of Kinesiology.

Kinesiology is a system I knew I couldn’t put down

Over 10 years ago, when my eldest son was born, I took him to a practitioner who used applied kinesiology in her practice. In just one session, he went from constipated to having swift bowel movements, from unsettled to content, and he began to move his legs and hips with more ease than ever before. I was amazed and knew I had to learn it for my family. As my passion grew, I studied every unit available to me, had a fully booked clinic within my first year of business, opened my own clinic, completed my teacher training, and then went on to train, mentor, and support many kinesiologists in my school, helping them build successful careers and assist hundreds of clients.

The ripple effect of this work is undeniable, and I’m dedicated to the evolution of kinesiology as it is the medicine for the mind, body, and soul. I believe kinesiology can create harmony and congruence in a world that often feels chaotic. It is the body's natural medicine, amplified to take you beyond your symptoms into the highest standard of wellness and vitality.
