Learn the language of your body’s wisdom.
Your body already knows.
It’s speaking to you all the time — through sensations, impulses, resistance, and ease.
Muscle testing is a way to listen — a bridge between intuition and physiology, between spirit and form.
Through this practice, you’ll learn to access your own clear “yes” and “no” to make aligned choices, and to trust the intelligence that lives inside you.
It’s not about getting the “right” answer — it’s about learning the language of your body’s wisdom.
The Lineage of This Work: How I Learned to Listen
I first learned muscle testing in 2003 from my mentor and friend, Kory — the energy healer I worked with for eight years as a client, unofficial apprentice, and, eventually, colleague. He taught me the fundamentals: how to listen to the body’s truth, how to test with neutrality, how to recognize when interference is present.
Through years of practice and collaboration, I came to understand the deeper subtleties — the texture of a clear “yes” versus a hesitant one, the way emotion can distort a reading, and how to restore clarity through energetic alignment.
Since then, muscle testing has become an integral part of my daily life and my healing work. I use it to navigate choices, track patterns, decode synchronicities, and engage in spiritual inquiry. It’s both compass and conversation — a way of dialoguing with the intelligence that lives through all things.
I’ve taught the practice to others as well — from those who use it daily to those who turn to it at key decision points, seeking a deeper truth. What I offer in this coaching series is the distillation of over twenty years of lived practice and the mentorship that shaped it.

The 1:1 Coaching Journey
This five-session series offers a structured yet intuitive pathway for learning self-muscle testing with confidence and clarity. You’ll receive personalized coaching, guided practice, and energetic support to develop a skill that will serve you for life.
You’ll learn to:
• Calibrate your personal yes and no signals
• Enter the neutral state where clear answers emerge
• Troubleshoot when answers feel off or offline
• Work respectfully with permission, ethics, and energetic boundaries
• Integrate muscle testing into daily decisions, creative processes, and healing work
The coaching series includes detailed instruction, guided practice, homework, and reflection prompts. Between sessions, you’ll receive gentle accountability and email support for troubleshooting. When interference or energetic blocks arise, energy clearing is woven in to restore clarity and flow.
This work blends the practical and the mystical: part training, part healing, part remembering.
You’ll finish with a grounded, reliable practice and a living relationship with your body’s yes and your body’s no.
Ongoing Support
After completing the five-session foundation, you may continue with shorter, 30 minute sessions for ongoing mentorship to support confidence and continued deepening into this practice. These sessions offer space to troubleshoot, integrate, and explore more subtle dimensions of the work.
You will also be invited to join The T.W.I.T.C.H. Collective — a facilitated monthly community circle for continued study, refinement, and the kind of support that comes from practicing in good company.

The Art of Muscle Testing — Spring 2026 Cohort
In spring 2026, I’ll be offering a small-group version of this training — a 7-month live cohort for those who want to learn in community and deepen into the work over time.
We’ll meet once a month as a group for teaching and practice, giving you time between classes to experiment, observe, and apply muscle testing in daily life. Each month, you’ll also receive a private 30-minute coaching session, which may include energy clearing as needed to keep your channel open and your practice clear.
Between sessions, you’ll receive homework, journaling prompts, and email support to help you stay connected and refine your sensitivity.
After the course ends, you’ll have the option to join a monthly facilitated study group for ongoing mentorship, advanced techniques, and shared troubleshooting.
Class size is limited to six participants to ensure intimacy and individualized attention.
Investment: $1,444
Course and study group will be on Zoom. Payment plans available.
