PKP Practitioner Helping 09 Bushfire Survivors

PKP Kinesiologist Lara Goodger has found a special niche, working

tirelessly with survivors of the 2009 Black Saturday Victorian
bushfires to overcome post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The Yarra Valley Practitioners Project (YVPP) was launched in
March 2009 as a local community initiative by a fellow kinesiologist
in the Yarra Valley. From there, a volunteer group of health
professionals formed to work with bushfire-affected people, so the
project was born out of the inspiration and principle of locals
helping locals. Lara has been part of the YVPP since 2011 and
considers this one of the most rewarding times in her professional
career.
YVPP offers clinical services in a range of natural health care
therapies. It has also worked in the local primary schools engaging
children in support programs to help them in their recovery. Before
YVPP, providing complementary and allied health care with an
integrative approach had not really been considered in the world of
disaster response and trauma recovery.
The Victorian bushfire-affected communities have faced incredible challenges during the past three
years. Some people have completed repairs and rebuilding and some are only just starting. For
many, financial recovery and a routine, settled lifestyle is a distant goal. The Yarra Valley
Practitioners Project has helped over 1700 individuals and the community feedback about their
support has been very positive. Many people are experiencing great benefits from YVPPs integrative
approach to the trauma recovery process.
In the words of one of Lara's PTSD clients:
"Becoming balanced within my body system and learning its communication and
messages enabled me to put in the difficult work within myself and accomplish other
tasks... which I could not have done otherwise. This did more for me than any pill. I'm
now five months without medication. Without kinesiology, it wouldnt have been
possible."

2012 Summer MetaSession Kinesiology Camp

Over 30 participants attended International

College of Healing Artss 3rd annual Summer
MetaSession which was a big success at
building everyones clinical confidences and
competencies. This years event drove the
point home about the very real power of ICPKP
and gave participants fresh perspectives on
how to move into professional practice as
kinesiologists.
Central to this event is the Balance Room
which is available 24 hours every day and
planned free time for balances, breakouts and
socialization. Presentations occupy less than
50% of the time to allow ample time for selfdirected learning. This years Balance Room
had 12 stations set up with faculty support
available and free time include campfires, nature walks and a labyrinth.
Presentations included visiting British students Katie Rossi and Nikki Alston speaking about their
practices in London including at a Dental clinic and an HIV outreach program. Their faculty, ICPKP
Fellow Dr. Sue Eardley, presented on Unpacking the Black Box offering insights on how the ICPKP
protocol works. (Click the links above to read their feedback on the MetaSession.)
However the highlight of this years event was the case presentation by ICOHA Professional Diploma
student Lynn Goldstein MSW, LCSW, BKP titled I Got My Life Back. This previously robust client
suddenly became an overnight invalid crippled by a surgical complication. When she first came to
Lynn she was barely able to get off the couch or leave the house. Now she is running in 3K races
due to the kinesiology work that Lynn did with her. Many great examples of how PKP was used were
given during the presentation.
During the Questions & Answers period the client was brought into the room live via a video call.
Many students were speechless, and a few had tears, hearing the client tell her story of how she
was not expected to live more than a few years and now I got my life back due to the work Lynn
did.

MetaSessions are an integral part of learning

at ICOHA. Twice a year, in June and December,
all classes are paused and all students and
alumni come together in one location to learn
from each other. Participants share their
knowledge and experiences with each other
and work to practice and polish their skills.
Last year participants couldnt get enough so
this year the summer event was increased to a
week long. Next years is looking to be a 2
week event including a FAC1 course and Red
Flags as well.
All MetaSessions are open to anyone and
ICOHA offers one International ICPKP student a
full scholarship to attend this event. Click here

Six new Instructors are now internationally qualified as ICPKP Faculty members after successfully
completing the rigorous ICPKP FAC I teacher training in Melbourne at the beginning of May.
This huge achievement is the culmination of thousands of hours of study, practice, and this Faculty
program, which sets them up for exciting and rewarding careers as Instructors and Mentors for the
next generation of PKP students. We are proud of the way they have proven themselves competent
and worthy to teach the BKP Program.
FAC I is the first of three levels of faculty training offered to graduates and senior students, and
those who complete it may begin teaching the Certificate in Kinesiology at an ICPKP accredited

South African Kinesiologist, Bronwyn Greene (senior

student of Specialised Kinesiology College of South
Africa) recently experienced a very significant
breakthrough with one of her clients which strongly
illustrates the way PKP kinesiology transcends the usual
barriers that can come between clients and practitioners
of different cultural backgrounds. With the full permission
of her client, Bronwyn has given us this account of her
experience:

The White Chicken

One of the joys of living in South Africa is that we have a
rich cultural diversity. With 11 official languages, and
people of every colour, its no wonder we call ourselves
The Rainbow Nation. Having lived in Britain, Australia and
Germany, I know that South Africa is not unique in this.
So it was with great excitement that I experienced this
week how beautifully kinesiology embraces and honours
our clients cultural integrity.
A new client came to see me because her father recently
passed away and shes been having difficulty with the
grieving process. She is also in great pain over her
mothers death, which happened many years ago. We
South A frican kinesiologist, Bronwyn Greene.
started the process working with a conflict about her
reaction to the news of her fathers death. She was not comfortable with the fact that she had not
cried when she heard about it.
After reading information from one of the essences - that referred to the seen and unseen worlds my client explained that she is in the process of training to become a Sangoma. A Sangoma is a
diviner and healer within the tradition of the Zulu and Ndebele people of South Africa. As healers
Sangomas use, among other things, a variety of roots, bark, herbs and flowers. Like with
kinesiology, the source of the ailment is of far greater interest than the symptom. Inherent in a
Sangomas work is the ability to communicate with ancestors.
Appreciating that she may have certain gifts being called to this work, I asked her if she had any
dreams or premonitions prior to the deaths of either of her parents; she said she had. I considered
this a possible explanation behind her lack of shock at the news of their deathsshe had already
sensed it was coming. I challenged more mode and it showed more discussion was required.
I asked her if there was another connection between her Sangoma training and the death of her
father. She explained that she had done a cleansing ritual after his death. I challenged more mode
again more of the same showed. I asked if she had cleansed herself and she explained she could
not do this for herself, however, her spiritual mother had done it for her. Again more mode showed.
Finally I asked,Did you leave out any part of the ritual? and her answer was, Yes. The part of
the process that had been left out was the slaughtering of a white chicken.
I asked her to tell me about the significance of slaughtering a white chicken and she explained it
facilitates communication with the ancestors. I asked (yes/no) if it was necessary for her to
complete the ritual and the muscle response was a firm lock. It was then that I saw the big picture
for this woman, for whom ancestral communication is very important, not only for her Sangoma
work, but for her grieving and healing process. Her Sangoma cells knew exactly what was required,
and kinesiology took us there.
I love working as a kinesiologist and this experience made me even more passionate about it,

We celebrate the life of Arnetta E. Hildreth of Fonda, USA

who passed away Tuesday, July 26, 2011 in her 87th year.
Born in 1924, married in 1940, she did volunteer work and
also worked as a nurse in military hospitals during her late
husband Deans military career. Arnetta later received her
GED and completed nurses training in 1966 and was one of
the first US TFH instructors to take PKP in the mid 1980s.
Arnetta and her daughter Marcia (Marty) contributed to
several finger modes that PKP Practitioners and ICPKP
students use on a daily basis. One mode is El #3c which they
reported "with animals has increased the litter size and

first time at 2am one morning when a farmer neighbour could
not get a vet to attend his sow with a new litter of 13 piglets. He said "they've got real problems an infection probably mate - please come do your magic stuff." In spite of El #3 being performed by
a sleepy, somewhat sceptical Dr Dewe and an incredulous farmer, almost all piglets survived.
Marty, Arnetta's daughter, is the artist who drew the first 100 or so finger modes for us. As an
Instructor Arnetta taught lots of small TFH and PKP classes, bringing the power of Kinesiology to
many people. After her classes, or sometimes when she had a 'breakthrough' with a client, Arnetta
would send Bruce & Joan a postcard with the good news. Arnetta's memory and her contribution will
be treasured always.

Dr Bruce & Joan Dewe were delighted

Auckland on Saturday evening Feb.
26th. Every chair in the teaching room

completing 3,880 hours of study.
Graduates spoke of the positive

College Principal) Margaret MacArthur
during the many years as they studied.
Margaret commenced the meeting with KIA graduates of the ICPKP Diploma in Kinesiology (L-R): Santi Eu,

those who were grieving, waiting
anxiously or celebrating the return, alive, of loved ones amid the massive destruction of the
Christchurch earthquake. She likened the study of PKP to a journey. It is a journey with no going
back, you will never be the same she said.
Joan Dewe spoke of how good can come from adversity. As a teenager and young mother with
almost continual pain from a back injury she never knew then that the PKP Protocol would be the
outcome. Without my personal journey we would never have been introduced to the 'new' therapy
of Applied Kinesiology. ICPKP worldwide is a force for choice for change, and good that grew from
suffering and affliction and which will continue to change lives as we all "Learn, Grow & Embrace
Life" - PKP mission statement.
Dr Dewe spoke of the proof of the effectiveness of the PKP Protocol through the research of Dr
Susan Eardley PhD at the University of Southampton in the UK. He also reminded us that the new
science of 'Epigenetics' shows us something of how PKP works. Genes are only a set of potentials.
Epigenetics shows that genes can be turned on or turned off and PKP can have a very positive
influence in building health by enabling this process.

Susan Eardley (British Kinesiology Centre) is the first Senior Faculty

Member of the ICPKP to earn a PhD doing research in Kinesiology at a
major UK University medical school with publications in peer reviewed
journals. This is a truly momentous occasion for PKP, Kinesiology and
indeed CAM.
Sue's PhD was in the management of chronic low back pain using the
PKP Protocol. Yes, it worked.
The study was a pragmatic, randomised, controlled trial of PKP for low
back pain which demonstrated large effect sizes which were greater
than other CAM therapies including acupuncture, chiropractic, CBT and
standard care. This is the first rigorous study of kinesiology that has
ever been conducted and is the result of seven years work.
The head of the Southampton University department described the project as one of the best PhDs
ever produced in the school and the external examiners congratulated Sue on an outstanding piece
of academic work that was of major importance in the field of CAM. Further research in PKP is now
clearly necessary, the first step of which would be to get funding to repeat the work as a costeffective, multi-centre study.
The results of the study are now being written up for publication in a major UK medical journal.

South African ICPKP Faculty Member, Gabby Fels, has recently

published her ground-breaking book, Healing in a Maximum
Security Prison.
Gabby has been working with the male inmates of Leeuwkop Maximum
Security prison for over three years. She has taught them life skills
and Kinesiology exercises to help them cope with the emotions and
stress of incarceration and to equip them for rehabilitation into
society. It has been an exciting & incredible journey for her, as well
as the inmates, and the results have been spectacular. Gabby says,
"The atmosphere in the prison has been transformed and many of the
inmates have found Inner peace, hope and self confidence for their
futures without reverting to crime. Most have indicated that, once
paroled, they would strive to discourage crime; especially among
kids."
Gabby has also trained facilitators from among
the prison population who have taught her courses to their fellow inmates who
would not normally attend or who dont understand English. Over 1000 inmates
have completed the programme and received their certificates in this way.
Despite her great achievements thus far, Gabby is not one to rest on her
laurels. She says,
"Its my dream to see this book distributed throughout South African prisons,
and prisons worldwide. Although the book is targeted at prisoners, the life skill
modules and exercises are relevant and useful for anyone under emotional
stress and fearful about their future."
The kinesiology material in the book draws from the ICPKP and K-Power workshops and is fully
acknowledged. We are sure you will find it of value and hope that you will assist Gabby in
distributing it far and wide. The book sells for R220 (including packing, postage and insurance within
South Africa). That's about NZ$39 or AUS$31. See the website www.prisonbook.co.za or contact

"Red Flags is a must for every up and coming Kinesiologist. For those without a medical
degree, Dr Dewes clear and simple guidelines are a great way to ensure that both you and
your clients stay safe and get the best possible outcomes in health care."
Bruce Johnson, NSW, Australia

When working with clients, all kinesiology practitioners need to know how to recognise Red Flags:
the various signs and signals that indicate a client should be referred to a medical professional. The
ICPKP Red Flags workshop, taught by ICPKP co-founder Dr Bruce Dewe MD, will give you the tools
you need to recognise these signs.
Click here for more information on the ICPKP Red Flags workshop.
All Red Flags workshops are open to ICPKP students of any Affiliated College who have completed
the BKP series. Qualified practitioners of other kinesiology streams (such as Touch For Health, 3-in1,
or Edu-K) are also welcome to attend.

On Saturday 6th February 2010, staff and students of Energetic

Health Practices came together with friends and family for their
graduation and awards night.
After several years
attending
workshops,
completing
homework and
sitting practical
and oral exams,
Sharon Kibur,
Angela Corbett
and Karen Carty
became the first
students to
graduate from
Energetic Health
Practices with the
International Diploma of Professional Kinesiology Practice.
Also recognised were several students who had achieved the Certificate in Basic Kinesiology
Practice (BKP).
College principal, Les Witham, talked briefly about the history of Energetic Health Practices. She
commended her students for their perseverance through all kinds of circumstances, and voiced her
confidence that they were going to be successful, dedicated PKP Practitioners.
A candle on the main table was burning all evening to represent the spirit of Energetic Health
Practices and ICPKP. As each Diploma graduate was awarded their certificate they were invited to
take a candle and light it from the main candle so that they could carry this spirit forward into their
own practices and lives.

On a recent visit to the International Institute of

Kinesiology Australia in Sydney, Dr Bruce Dewe gave
an inspiring presentation to future students about the
exciting career opportunities in the field of Professional
Kinesiology.
He spoke about his extensive research and
development of the unique finger moding system which
he and his wife Joan developed in the early 1980s. He
also shared his vast knowledge of the intricate
energetic relationship between the meridian system,
associated muscles and organs.
All participants were inspired by his case studies and
particularly intrigued by the amazing results achieved
with Professional Kinesiology for physical, psychological and spiritual issues.

The 2009 first-year students of the

Specialised Kinesiology College of
South Africa ended the year with a
bang! Principal Margie Donde and her
students took the time to celebrate
the hard work and sharing they had
experienced throughout the year.
Everyone was invited to bring
something to share with the rest of
the class - either a gift, a poem, a
skill or something of oneself. Margie
says,
"We had such a super evening with the students being really
creative with what they wanted to share of themselves. Ang
showed us her poi skills - fire dancing! Students brought flowers,
poems, hand made bookmarks and food. We belly danced, sang,
laughed, ate and celebrated our womanhood as only girls can. What
a way to end the year.
Margie is very enthusiastic when talking about the class of 2009 and can see a great future ahead
for all of them. She says,
"This has been a really special class. They have shown exceptional dedication to their studies, are
quite competitive in completing their homework timeously and care deeply for each other. I look
forward to helping them to deepen their skills next year."

Arthur Bablis, principal of ACKM, Sydney, says, "Its that

time again when we reflect back on the year,
appreciative and grateful for the blessings that have
come our way."
He and Sarah Gilmour Mayne decided to let their hair
down and celebrate 2009, and thank their students for
the journey and the path they have undertaken with
them.
As a surprise Arthur organised Dr Bruce Dewe to fly from
NZ and pop in as a special guest and spend some casual
time with students. Bruce enjoyed meeting students one
on one, chatting with them over a glass of wine and
hearing about their plans for the future. As always, Bruces pearls of wisdom certainly inspired
many to look forward to spreading their wings, to continue with their studies in the Diploma, start
their own businesses helping others be all that they can be, and even take up the challenge by
joining ICPKP as future faculty by attending FAC I in Feb 2010.

The night was a special one for all and 2009 will certainly be remembered for the wonderful
friendships that have been forged and the good times had.
ICPKP would like to wish Students and Faculty of ACKM and all our accredited colleges around the
world a very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year.

Complementary Medicine and an honour to gain Senior Practitioner status with the BRCP."
The BRCP, which was established in 1989, one of the longest-running multidisciplinary registers of its
kind in the UK, has Members ranging from acupuncturists to aromatherapists, hypnotherapists and
reflexologists, to name a few. In order to qualify to be a member of the BRCP, practitioners must
have proved their competence to practice by either completing an approved course or through an
assessment made by the BRCP Registration Panel.
Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe and the staff of ICPKP congratulate Martin on this great achievement.

PKP at Leeuwkop Prison

In May 2009, ICPKP student Belinda Pestana had the

privilege of visiting Leeuwkop Prison, north of
Johannesburg, South Africa. She was there to witness
the wonderful transformation being worked in the lives
of inmates by ICPKP Faculty member, Gabby Fels,
principal of SAKPC.
Belinda had attended a lecture by Dr Bruce Dewe at
the Australasian College of Kinesiology Mastery in late
April and had heard Dr Dewe speak of the amazing
work Gabby Fels was doing in South Africa.
Coincidentally, Belinda was due to fly to South Africa
the following week and took the opportunity to arrange
a last-minute meeting with Gabby before flying out.
Belinda says;
"It was so lovely to meet such a warm and generous person and to hear her story. What
struck me was how Gabby's passion for what she is doing has surpassed so many obstacles...
to initially start her work at Leeuwkop, it's amazing that she didn't give up!"
To Belinda's surprise, Gabby invited her to come to the next prison workshop, an opportunity not to
be missed! She was amazed at the wonderful reception they got from staff, guards and inmates
alike; clearly everyone recognised the positive difference Gabby's program was making. She was
equally amazed that the guards were happy to leave her and Gabby alone with their class. Clearly it
was safe enough to do so, further evidence of the effect of PKP and the rapport Gabby had built
with her students. Belinda describes the experience:
"When Gabby introduced me to her students, I felt quite overwhelmed by how welcoming they
were. I was offered one of the scarce chairs to sit on (there were only about 4 chairs in the
room so everyone else was on the floor) and one of the students even offered to give me
their manual to use. Gabby had to speak to someone mid-way through the initial roll-call so I
enjoyed the privilege of doing this for her while she stepped out of the room... Bearing in mind,
I'd only been there literally 5 minutes, there I was alone with all these men, doing roll-call.

This told me how much Gabby trusted her students with me and it was really humbling."
On Gabby's return, it was time for class to begin:
"The most memorable part for me was when Gabby demonstrated how to do a meridian
massage. Initially she demonstrated on this really huge, muscular guy who was also about 6.3
foot tall! He closed his eyes and was, as I would call it, simply in a 'standing trance'. When
she asked him how that felt for him, he said, with so much surprise in his voice, 'that was
sooooo relaxing'. I then wondered how long it might have been for him since he had last had
the opportunity to feel a moment of peace within himself... and I was struck by how amazing
it might have been for him to experience that, even for just one moment, within the prison
environment."
For Belinda, this was a life-changing experience. She was able to see first hand the outworking of
the Dewe's dream for PKP amongst a group of people who need it most. She says,
"For those few hours at Leeuwkop, I was not sitting with 'hardened criminals'... I was sitting
with men in a prison environment who were 'free'... and that is an experience I will remember
and treasure for the rest of my life."

the benefit of students, teachers and clients alike.

Ed Faust says,
"Our new first year class is
excelling and we have had
to do a mid year intake due
to the demand. In 2010 we
will only have one student
intake due to the amount of
classes we are already
providing."
Kinesiology Connection
currently has four ICPKP
Accredited Faculty members
on staff with a graduate
student doing FAC 1 faculty
training in 2010, which they
hope will allow even more
flexibility with training
schedules.
According to Ed Faust,
"Our two admin staff are
very popular with clients
and students alike, and the new atmosphere which has
been created is buzzing. [We] are very proud in being
able to expand the professional availability of ICPKP
Kinesiology, both to potential students and clients,
during these challenging economical times."

On the 8th of August 2009, students at the

Australasian College of Kinesiology Mastery in Crows
Nest, Sydney had the pleasure of a surprise visit from
Dr Bruce Dewe. There were two classes running
concurrently at ACKM and both received an hours
tuition from the master himself.
With the BKP 106 class Dr Dewe taught the history of
Finger modes, giving the class a great recount of how,
on a Mediterranean antiquities cruise with
Kinesiologists Ardis & the late Peter Emmerton of
Taree, Australia, that Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe toured
churches of Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox & the Catholic Traditions and saw the major finger
modes in many ancient paintings. They also saw the artisans (hagiographers) making copies of these
famous paintings, small wooden blocks (icons) called Romanon.

In the TFH 2 class, Dr Dewe, Australia's

first TFH Instructor Trainer, talked about
the Alarm Points, giving the class some
great tips on remembering the location of
these points. He also shared memories of
teaching them in the USA and taking his
first TFH class from Dr. John F. Thie, with
250 nurses, in 1977. These students are
currently completing classes with Arthur
Bablis (Principal of ACKM) and Sarah
Gilmour-Mayne (Director of Studies at ACKM). As always, Dr Dewe fuelled the fire of inspiration in
the heart of each student.
