Discover the treatment right for you
Are you experiencing stress or overwhelm?
Is your body struggling with fatigue or pain that you just can’t explain?
Have you been given the diagnosis of an auto-immune condition, a thyroid issue or other chronic condition that you have been told you just need to live with?
Do you struggle to lose weight, or have fluid retention that you just can’t shift?
Are you experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety on a regular basis?
Do you feel dissatisfied with your relationships or current circumstances but not sure how to improve them?
Have you got a laundry list of symptoms that just keeps getting longer?
Kinesiology is a way of letting your body and soul do the talking when it comes to finding the underlying cause of dysfunction or imbalances within your body. The symptoms that you are experiencing are your body’s way of communicating to you that something isn’t quite right, and kinesiology can help you to get to the root cause of those symptoms.
Our mind and body are always talking to each other and influences each other. The problem is that a lot of this communication is happening on a subconscious level (approximately 95% of our day), so trying to unravel what is going on can feel impossible. By tapping into your subconscious through muscle testing, we can get the answers without having to logic our way through them. The answers are 100% personal to your own circumstances, so there is no more need for guessing or trial and error.
I am a qualified Kinesiologist, Remedial Massage Therapist and NutureLife® Pregnancy Massage Practitioner with over 13 years experience in the healing space. I combine traditional and modern techniques to treat sources of pain and dysfunction in the body, and to encourage the body’s own natural healing abilities.
Remedial massage aims to relieve your muscle tension and pain, whether from a specific injury, over-use or mis-use of the body structure. Using Kinesiology I can delve even deeper into the underlying cause of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual imbalances and bring your body back into balance. My clients have been able to overcome their physical pain, emotional stressors, hormonal imbalances, sleep difficulties and gut dysfunction through regular kinesiology sessions.
I have also had considerable experience providing massage services for both pregnant and postnatal women, and have had significant success treating lower back pain, pelvic and hip pain, and headaches that are a common part of pregnancy, as well as providing much needed relaxation.

“Karen is very caring and professional, and I have always felt very comfortable in her presence and in her space. I have tried numerous therapies with Karen, including kinesiology, lymphatic drainage and remedial massage and I have always left feeling fantastic and relaxed. Would highly recommend!”
“Karen has made such a difference in my life. I’ve been seeing her for a few years for massage and over the past 8 months for kinesiology. Her abilities to help overcome emotional and mental barriers has made such a difference. At first I was sceptical but within the first session I noticed a difference. Her kind and calming manner makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Karen.”
“A present sent to me by my son in UK. Best present ever. The best massage I’ve ever had. It’s 4 days later and I’m still feeling the benefits!! Thank you Karen.”
“I attended my first online Kinesiology appointment with Karen Hobbis. It was just as good as being there in person. Karen was able to help me with my health concerns and I didn’t even have to leave my home. I can definitely recommend her online appointments.”
“Today’s Online Session with Karen was really powerful and clearing. I’ve been holding a negative life draining belief for the last 6 years. Today’s session shed so much light, clarity and a healthier path moving forward in such an easy and nurturing way. Karen’s approach offers a fast and effective way to heal the “baggage”.
So grateful for today’s session. I feel lighter, clearer and deeply satisfied that my issue has been released and I can enjoy a life on the other side of it! Highly Recommend!”
“I had a very intense Kinesiology session with Karen. I went to her with a specific goal in mind of releasing trauma from my body. As the session progressed we realised that I have carried a certain trauma through my past lives, so we explored what it was and worked on this through Kinesiology. I was blown away with the findings as this answered all my questions (that I didn’t know I had about my behaviours and how I perceived the behaviours of people in my life). My body is processing the information and I am being kind to me. I highly recommend Karen Hobbis. I feel so uplifted by her service and her commitment and dedication towards our health and well-being.”
Pregnancy massage has the same goals as regular massage –
It is also tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies. Carrying a baby changes your centre of gravity and puts a lot of stress on your back, knees, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, so that your pelvic joints are less stable. All of of these changes can bring about muscle, joint and ligament pain from the new and different stresses placed on the body.
It is important to note that continuing to receive massages from your regular massage therapist may no longer be appropriate during pregnancy if the therapist is not specifically qualified in pregnancy massage, or does not know how to position you safely. There are areas of the body where massage must be avoided so as not to stimulate contractions. The massage also needs to be gentler than you may be used to, to ensure the safety of the baby and to prevent stress on your circulatory system (which is already working overtime). Some aromatherapy oils must also be avoided.
As a trained NutureLife Practitioner, I can target those sore spots and provide relief, while knowing which areas and what techniques to avoid.
Some women find it uncomfortable to lie facedown right from the start of pregnancy because of their breasts feel more tender. It is also difficult to lie facedown on a traditional massage table once your belly has started to grow. It isn’t recommended that you lie flat on your back either, particularly once you’re past mid-pregnancy, as you can compress the vein that returns blood to the heart, and therefore restricting oxygenated blood to your baby.
For these reasons, once you are no longer comfortable lying on your stomach, or you are midway through your pregnancy (whichever comes first), you will receive your massage in a side-lying position with pillows and wedges for support. This position provides the optimum positioning for your spine and pelvis for receiving massage and you will find the position to be deeply relaxing and still incredibly effective.
Massage can be extremely beneficial at any stage of your pregnancy, when performed by a fully qualified Pregnancy Massage Therapist. Note that in instances of a high-risk pregnancy, I may require clearance from your doctor or midwife before treating you.
The common misconception exists that women in their first trimester are unable to receive a massage treatment, a myth which is often reinforced by massage therapists that are not qualified to provide pregnancy specific massages.
As a qualified NutureLife® Practitioner I am able to assist all women during their pregnancy whether they are in their first trimester or beyond. The specific benefits of receiving massage during the first pregnancy include:
It is as important to care for yourself during the postpartum period as it is during pregnancy. Massage can help you deal with the physical demands of caring for your newborn by:
I understand it can be difficult to find time for yourself during this period, but the benefits are well worth it.
After a vaginal birth, postnatal massage can be performed as soon as you feel up to it. This may be after only a few days, or can be after quite a few weeks if you have suffered significant perineal tearing. After a caesarean section (c-section) delivery, it is recommended that you do not have a massage for 6 weeks post surgery, or after you have doctors clearance to do so.

Kinesiologist, Remedial Massage Therapist and NutureLife Pregnancy Massage Practitioner
I received my Diploma of Remedial Massage over 12 years ago, having taken some time off from my tax advisory role to have my first son. I originally studied massage with the intention to help family and friends, but soon realised that massage therapy was my calling. Since that time I have helped many clients to overcome pain and dysfunction through extensive remedial techniques that I have added to my toolbox over the years.
Wanting to help my clients delve even deeper into their underlying health conditions that couldn’t be fixed with a massage, and to find a solution to my own health issues, I discovered Kinesiology. Since 2021, I have been using kinesiology with my clients to find why the pain in their body keeps returning to the same area, as well as treating a myriad of other underlying health issues from depression and anxiety to unrestorative sleep and poor digestion.
I am constantly learning and studying to add even more tools to be able to help my clients, friends and family, to live healthy and happy lives. I look forward to meeting you too to see what we can achieve together.
