Why Learn kinesiology?

Learn kinesiology with SusanDo you want to make a difference? Want a new career? Want better health or relationships? Want to broaden the modalities you already offer your clients?

Learning kinesiology can offer you all these things and more. The increasing demand for effective health practitioners in our communities creates the opportunity for you to create a career for yourself, setting your own work hours and pay rate.

Students of Kinesiology College Hervey Bay will graduate with the Certificate IV in Kinesiology, confident in their ability to make a positive, long lasting difference in the lives of their clients using safe, non-invasive kinesiology techniques.

As a kinesiologist you have the ability to work in the area of life that most interests you. This means you can use your new found knowledge to start a career that is specifically tailored to your passions and interests. Learning kinesiology with Kinesiology College Hervey Bay gives you the strong foundations you need to build the kind of customer base you want. People from all walks of life benefit from kinesiology. It heals pain, improves attitudes and behaviours, identifies allergies and helps people create change.

You could, for example build up a client base with a strong emphasis on healing sporting injuries or skill enhancement. Or you could focus on helping children with learning or behavioural difficulties. You could focus on women's health, men's health, care for the ageing (and how to keep them feeling young!). My personal focus is on emotional health and helping people to create the life they dream of having.

Learn Kinesiology in Hervey Bay

Having built up a successful and growing client base over the last two years with Breathe Easy Therapies, Susan Koschel-Gatenby has now launched Kinesiology College Hervey Bay. The weekend format of the course gives people from the regional areas of Gympie, Maryborough, Childers and Bunderburg the opportunity to come to Hervey Bay for the weekend and enjoy learning in a relaxed and professional atmosphere. For those who need accommodation, Hervey Bay caters for the budget conscious right up to those who prefer Resort style living. This is a fantastic opportunity to study this professional course in regional Queensland, usually only available to students in the capital cities.

Susan initially trained in Melbourne under the watchful eye of Jenne Burns. “I actually started my kinesiology training with this Certificate IV course, so I know exactly what my students will need to achieve and I have personally dealt with the challenges that come from learning any new skill and then actually putting that skill into practice. The great thing about this course, is that as you learn these techniques, you gradually build your client base. Everyone knows that any business can boom or bust from word of mouth. This is a fantastic way to get people saying great things about you, with each step of your learning."

Inspirational Teacher - what led Susan to kinesiology

Before I began working with kinesiology I had an interest in people. At 21 I was working in the textile industry as a wool dyer. My job was to colour match large batches of wool, yarn and fabrics. It was tricky science and I was often under a lot of pressure. I was paid a great wage and was good at my job. But I knew there was something more for me ... I used to say "Anyone can colour match... I'm good with people, I can help make a difference."

So began my searching for my niche in the world.

  • I worked with young people at church, and though youth leading and support was fun, that wasn't the right place for me.
  • I worked with a women's hostel, and though that was challenging and certainly made a difference, that wasn't me either.
  • I got married and began a family, and though that was very fulfilling and wonderful, it still wasn't what I was searching for.
  • I applied to study psychology at University and was accepted into the course, but we moved our family to Melbourne and it was no longer practical.
  • I began to wonder about studying Homeopathy or Naturopathy, but wasn't ready to dive into a full-time course that would take years to complete.
  • I helped at Lifeline on their Crisis Phonelines and again though it was challenging and rewarding, counselling wasn't for me

  • ... and finally I began studying kinesiology. WOW !

It was like coming home. It was a place where I could use my passion for health and good food. I could use my enthusiasm and energy for life. I could use my empathy for the stories of others. I could use my common sense for creating change. I could use my innate wisdom and intuition to help, firstly myself, then my family and as my confidence grew, suddenly I was helping complete strangers.

Not every kinesiologist has or needs these particular gifts. Participating in the classes will help you identify your strengths, giving you the confidence to utilise these better in your life. It's a fantastic experience that I feel privileged to have shared with my class mates and I'm very excited to now be sharing it with others.

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites to become a student with Kinesiology College Hervey Bay. As a student of kinesiology you need a willingness and an openness for learning. The course content is not difficult and no special skills are needed. There is a significant amount of practical work that you need to complete. You will need to be prepared to work with others as partners and in small groups. What is easy for one person, can sometimes be difficult for another, so you will need to be patient and accepting in these cases. Finally you need to bring your sense of fun!

The 2008 class will be a weekend intake starting 20th September, running on one Saturday/Sunday each month. We will have a break from the face-to-face courses over December and January. For the enthusiastic this time can be used to complete the 3 home study units.  The weekend courses are from 9am to 5.30pm.

In 2009 a week-day class will be offered on a Thursday. The Thursday class will run 9am - 3.30pm during school terms.

All classes are small in numbers to ensure optimum learning conditions for you, the student. Minimum numbers to run a class: 4 .  Maximum positions available:12

Quite a few potential students have asked me can they just do one or two units of the Certificate IV course. While it is possible to just do the first few units, we encourage you to commit to the full course. Each unit builds on your knowledge and gives you the depth and experience you need to be a successful practitioner. If you want to get a better feel of the course content, the easiest way is to book a treatment with Susan. Not only will you benefit by working on your own issues and personal development, but you will also see first hand the style of kinesiology you will be learning, and get to meet your instructor.
