Curriculum
The curriculum has been designed to be experienced, not simply completed.
Every teaching weekend has been placed where it is for a reason. Each one builds upon the last, allowing your knowledge, confidence and understanding to develop gradually over the two years.
Between weekends, you go away and actually use what you’ve learned. You work with people. You complete case studies. You notice where you feel confident and where you don’t. You come back with questions that you simply couldn’t have asked before you had the experience
That’s an important part of how this training works.
The manual isn’t something you read once and put on a shelf either. You return to it throughout the programme and something quite interesting begins to happen. You read something you’ve already read before and suddenly understand it differently.
The words haven’t changed.
You have.
That’s experiential learning. The information gradually becomes embodied because you have lived with it, practised it, questioned it and seen it in real people.
Foundations of Depth Kinesiology
Learning to listen
Before anything else, you need to be able to communicate accurately with the body.
This first weekend lays the foundations for everything that follows. We explore the philosophy behind Depth Kinesiology, Experience • Awareness • Integration, the role of the practitioner and what it actually means to use muscle testing as a form of communication rather than simply a way of finding corrections.
A large part of the weekend is practical. You’ll learn accurate indicator muscle testing, how to recognise clear locked and unlocked responses, how pressure, positioning and your own presence affect the test, and what to do when a muscle response isn’t clear.
We also begin working with nervous system readiness. Before we ask the body to explore anything deeper, we first need to know that the system is able to respond. You’ll learn a range of nervous system regulation practices and begin using muscle testing to determine what support is needed before proceeding.
Self-testing methods and your first Integration Supports are also introduced here.
This is where you begin learning to listen through your hands.
The Knot, Emotion & Age
Following the thread
Now we begin putting the foundations into a therapeutic process.
You’ll learn how to identify the Priority Knot — the part of the client’s presenting experience carrying the greatest weight in that moment — and use muscle testing to identify the priority emotion and associated age.
But identifying it isn’t enough.
This is where questioning really begins.
You’ll be introduced to the Art of Inquiry Framework and start learning how to move away from gathering more and more story and towards what the person is actually experiencing.
Flower Essences and Figure 8s are introduced as Integration Supports, and this weekend also begins your Professional Practice training: scope, boundaries, ethics, referral, contraindications, safeguarding, record keeping and responsibility as a practitioner.
This is where a balance begins to become a conversation.
The Ancestral Layer
Looking beyond the individual
Our story doesn’t always begin with us.
This weekend expands the work beyond the person’s own direct life experience and into ancestry.
You’ll learn how to test whether an ancestral component is relevant, identify maternal or paternal lineage, establish the relevant generation and work with the Depth Kinesiology Lineage Map.
Miasms are introduced here too, alongside exploration of the emotional environment and survival patterns that may have travelled through a family system.
Therapeutic Tuning Forks and Music into CV4 are introduced as Integration Supports, bringing sound into the therapeutic process.
This weekend opens the door to the idea that the person sitting in front of us may be carrying far more than their own conscious story.
Archetypal Survival Patterns
Who did you have to become?
This is one of the central pieces of Depth Kinesiology.
We begin looking at the identities that develop around experience.
Instead of assuming that everything we see is simply someone’s personality, we ask a different question:
Who did this person need to become in order to survive, belong, stay safe or remain connected?
You’ll learn the Depth Kinesiology Archetypal Survival Pattern framework and how to identify the priority pattern through muscle testing.
From there, we explore the emotional truth underneath the role.
This weekend also introduces Integration Actions. Insight is important, but insight alone doesn’t necessarily change anything. We begin looking at small, realistic actions that allow the person to have a different experience in the present.
Cloacal Balancing and Gaitway Correction are introduced as further Integration Supports.
This is where we begin separating who someone is from who they learned they had to be.
The Fire Element
Heart & Small Intestine
Here we begin working with the Five Elements and the emotional psychology of the meridian system.
And this is important: you aren’t simply going to memorise a list of emotional associations beside acupuncture points.
We want to understand the person represented by the meridian.
The first Fire weekend focuses on the Heart and Small Intestine Meridians and themes including emotional connection, self-worth, vulnerability, discernment and emotional processing.
Acupressure, moxibustion, press pellets and ear seeds are introduced as Integration Supports, and you’ll learn how muscle testing guides both point selection and the appropriate method of support.
The Fire Element
Pericardium & Triple Heater
The second Fire weekend takes us into relationship.
The Pericardium brings us into emotional protection, intimacy, trust and vulnerability, while Triple Heater explores emotional safety, stress, boundaries, regulation and the way we respond to connection.
The Atlas Correction and Triple Heater MEI Sedation are introduced as Integration Supports.
This weekend asks us to look at something Jung understood beautifully: sometimes our relationships tell us things about ourselves that we simply cannot see alone.
The Earth Element
Stomach & Spleen
Earth brings us into nourishment, support, belonging and the patterns that quietly become everyday life.
Through the Stomach and Spleen Meridians we’ll explore themes including worry, overthinking, people pleasing, over-giving, emotional depletion, difficulty receiving and the search for safety and belonging.
The Now and Then Technique and Vesica Piscis are introduced as Integration Supports, helping bring earlier emotional learning into relationship with the present-day adult self.
The Metal Element
Lung & Large Intestine
Metal brings us into grief, self-worth, boundaries, protection and letting go.
Through the Lung and Large Intestine Meridians we’ll explore what happens when the body has learned to hold on — to grief, responsibility, the past, emotional protection or ways of coping that once made perfect sense.
The Hyoid Correction and Neurovascular Holding are introduced as Integration Supports, helping the person remain connected to emerging awareness without overwhelming the system.
The Water Element
Kidney & Bladder
Water takes us into some of the deepest layers of survival.
Through the Kidney and Bladder Meridians we’ll explore fear, safety, hypervigilance, exhaustion, over-functioning, trust, resilience and the extraordinary intelligence that allows a human being to survive difficult experience.
One of the questions Water asks is:
Does the body still believe it has to survive something that has already ended?
The Ileocecal Valve Correction is introduced as the Integration Support for this weekend, reflecting movement, transition and the possibility of allowing what has been processed to continue forward.
The Wood Element
Gall Bladder & Liver
Wood is movement. Direction. Growth.
The capacity to move towards something rather than remain emotionally stuck.
Through the Gall Bladder and Liver Meridians we’ll explore frustration, anger, pressure, indecision, resentment, control, vision, courage and the places where emotional movement has become restricted.
The Assemblage Point is introduced as an Integration Support, bringing another way of working with perspective and psychological flexibility.
Central & Governing Meridians
Inner Stability, Resilience, & Personal Power
The Central and Governing Meridians bring us into identity, inner stability, resilience, personal power, nervous system regulation and our relationship with ourselves.
Integration Practices are also introduced here, giving clients small, meaningful ways to continue their relationship with what emerged in the session once they leave the treatment room.
By this stage, the individual pieces of Depth Kinesiology are no longer meant to feel like separate techniques.
They’re becoming one way of working.
Integration
Depth Kinesiology Process
The final weekend brings the complete Depth Kinesiology process together.
We’ll revisit the work as a whole, explore the questions and complexities that have emerged through practice, and deepen areas of the work that are ready for further exploration.
This is a weekend for integration, consolidation and bringing greater confidence to the way you work.
Trusting what you know.
Strengthening how you work.
And recognising the practitioner you’ve become.
Learning Between the Weekends
The twelve teaching weekends are only one part of the training.
What happens between them matters just as much.
This is where theory meets another human being.
You practise. You complete your case studies. You return to your manuals. You notice what worked, what didn’t, where you got stuck and what you’re beginning to understand differently.
And then you bring all of that back into the room.
Alongside the teaching weekends, the programme includes several other pieces designed to support your development as a practitioner. The training deliberately combines face-to-face teaching with independent clinical practice, reflection and supervision so that skills are revisited and refined over time rather than taught once
Origin - Meet the Soul of Your Work
Before we talk about logos, websites or marketing, we go much deeper.
Genesis is an experiential online session exploring the heart of the work you want to bring into the world.
What matters to you?
What do you stand for?
What do you want someone to experience when they encounter your work?
You won’t receive another manual to study.
You experience the session, reflect as you go and allow the answers to begin taking shape.
Signature
Once you understand the soul of the work, we begin giving it a visible identity.
Across two live online sessions, you’ll explore the essence of your brand, the feeling you want it to carry, positioning, archetypes, colour psychology and visual identity.
This isn’t about making every practitioner look the same. Quite the opposite.
It’s about learning how to create a professional presence that actually looks and feels like you.
Case Studies
You cannot learn to work with people without working with people.
Case studies begin early in the programme and become progressively more detailed as your skills develop.
You aren’t expected to know in Weekend Two what you’ll know in Weekend Ten.
That’s the point.
The structure grows as you do.
Your case studies give you the opportunity to practise what has been taught, develop confidence in muscle testing and questioning, evaluate your own work and begin making clinical decisions independently.
Practitioner Development Workbook
The Practitioner Development Workbook runs alongside the training and is designed to develop the way you think as a practitioner.
Following each module, you’ll work through questions and client scenarios based on what you’ve just learned. You might be asked what you notice, what you’d be curious about, why you might take a particular step, or how you would think about something presented by a client.
There isn’t always one perfect answer.
The purpose isn’t to test how well you can remember information. It’s to help you begin applying what you’ve learned, thinking critically about your choices and developing the clinical judgement that comes with practice.
I want you to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing, not simply know what comes next.
Clinical Supervision
There will be moments in practice when you don’t know what to do.
Good. Those moments matter. Supervision gives us somewhere to bring them.
We can talk through cases, look at where you became unsure, notice what was happening for you as the practitioner and think together about what might have been going on clinically.
Supervision isn’t about proving that you know enough. It’s part of learning how to practise responsibly
By the End of the Two Years
I don’t expect you to leave knowing everything. I don’t think any good practitioner ever reaches that point.
I want you to leave knowing how to work. To trust your muscle testing. To understand the framework. To recognise patterns without forcing meaning onto people. To ask a good question and know when not to ask another one. To sit comfortably when you don’t immediately know what something means. To recognise the limits of your own role. To keep reflecting on yourself.
And to have enough experience behind you that when somebody sits down in front of you, you aren’t frantically searching through a manual wondering what you’re supposed to do next.
The manual will still be there. You’ll still use it. You’ll still find things in it you hadn’t noticed before. But somewhere along the way, the work will have started to live in you.
Upon successful completion of all training, case-study, workbook, supervision and professional requirements, you’ll qualify to practise as a Depth Kinesiology Practitioner.
The programme itself is deliberately built around technical skill, psychological understanding, reflection and embodiment rather than information alone.
