Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-enrolment
No, they most definitely are not!
Many are outdated, impractical, and overly masculine, lacking the energy, heart, and soul necessary for emotional safety and healing. These traditional methods, often developed by men, focus too heavily on scientific principles and neglect the holistic energetic approach required to address trauma, pain, fear, and stress.
EMK is a heart-centred, yin focused, remedy-based modality created by a woman and is the fastest growing Kinesiology modality in Australia. It emphasises connection, emotions, metaphysical energy, and healing remedies. EMK is modern and progressive, continuously refined and updated based on the latest clinical research.
Not at all! There are no prerequisites for this beginners foundation course and everyone is welcome to enrol in our Kineasy Intro Course.
You simply need the desire to learn, be present, assist others, raise consciousness, unlock your potential, and embrace your own healing journey throughout the learning process.
The energetic shifts, healing and growth we observe in students during class are profound.
No you don’t. However, we believe everyone is spiritual and has intuition, it is just a matter of being open and allowing yourself to tap into it. Your EMK Instructor will guide you through this process.
Muscle reflex testing is a gentle, non-invasive, must know life skill that you will have plenty of practice time to master and feel your way into during the beginners two day introductory ‘Kineasy Intro Course’.
Your EMK Instructor will work with you to determine the best testing method uniquely for you. You will be surprised how quickly you pick up muscle testing – all learnt before morning tea on the first day of the Kineasy Intro Course!
The minimum age for all EMK classroom courses and EMK Practitioner Certification is 16 years. This age requirement supports the emotional maturity, self-awareness and responsibility needed for the depth of personal exploration, energetic work and client-focused skills within the modality.

Tools & Remedies in EMK
Emotions and Metaphysical Kinesiology™ is a remedy-based healing modality that works with sacred tools to create powerful energetic, emotional, and metaphysical shifts. Your EMK Healing Toolkit will grow organically over time and may already include items you have at home – such as crystals, essential oils, oracle cards, incense, colour, and other intuitive tools. We also work with Nature’s Healing Chi remedies including feathers, shells, leaves, rocks, and natural elements, as well as sprays, sound instruments, flower essences, acupressure tools, and symbolic items.
There is no need to purchase everything at once. EMK encourages a grounded and practical approach, inviting you to work with what you already have and expand your toolkit with remedies you are naturally drawn to. Trust that your space holds exactly what you and your clients need – and that the right remedies will meet you at the right time. Everything becomes a sacred healing tool that supports deep transformation in both your personal and professional healing journey.

As per our new EMK Practitioner guidelines of May 2024, EMK Practitioners are no longer required to provide or submit Continuing Professional Education (CPE), which aligns with the new International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) EMK Practitioner Membership requirements.
Instead of Continuing Professional Education (CPE), EMK Practitioners must complete our EMK Practitioner Recertification every two years to maintain their status as an ACTIVE EMK Practitioner. This recertification process entails:
• Booking a 2-hour online Recertification session with a Certified EMK Assessor, for a flat fee of AUD $300, payable to your instructor, which covers:
– Delivering a 60-minute EMK Session online to demonstrate competency as an EMK Practitioner.
– Receiving 60 minutes of mentoring to enhance EMK skills, expand knowledge, and address any EMK session or business queries.
This session should be scheduled within the three months before your recertification date and repeated every two years, aligning with the practitioner’s certification date on their certificate.
You can read more about the recertification process here.
The By The Bay Kinesiology® office will be in contact with you via email when you are due for recertification. Once complete, a administration/processing fee of AUD $132 inc. GST will apply which includes a new electronic certificate being issued and a two-year EMK website profile directory listing.
