What it is
A small private practice where you use muscle testing and movement assessment to talk through stress, habits and general wellbeing with clients. Sessions run from a quiet, set-up room at home, with some visits to clients if you choose.
Your first three steps
- Complete or finish a recognised kinesiology course and look at joining a professional kinesiology association
- Set up a quiet treatment room, then check with your local council whether a home-based business needs approval
- Get an ABN and public liability and professional indemnity insurance, then offer a few discounted first sessions to friends and local contacts
Who pays
Individuals looking for complementary wellbeing support, often found through word of mouth, local wellness groups and community markets.
How it makes money
A fixed fee per session, usually 45 to 60 minutes. Repeat clients and packages of sessions build steady income over time.
