Why more people choose to study Holistic Kinesiology with us?

    “My recent education in counselling left me longing for a more creative way to deal with people wanting and needing counselling. I wanted to be able to address the whole human experience. I’ve enjoyed learning in a group capacity as well as doing creative art throughout the course. Having done the course themselves, the lecturers could give me a deeper understanding of the modules – the way they delivered the learning through their own experiences was inspiring.”

    “I decided to study Transpersonal Art Therapy and in the first week it was like coming home for me. Transpersonal Art Therapy pulled together everything I had experienced over the past 10 years and the course gave me the foundations to move forward, combining all my skills and knowledge, deepening my art expression and being able to help others on their journey”

    “I completed a double dip in Transpersonal Art therapy and Counselling at CCM. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there which very much taught me so much about myself and also how I can be of service. I also found the teachers to be wonderful, kind and very experienced. I now run my own private practice 3 days a week, online and in person. I run bi-annual Art Therapy camp; meditation workshops and annual retreats with other facilitators. I supervise and support students studying with CCM”

    “I originally came to the college open day and got so much out of it. Just a few hours and I walked away feeling like I had had some changes in my life. The learning here really fits in with what I want to do in the future. I feel the lecturers really live the work – they are what they teach and that really inspires me. I love the relaxed atmosphere of the college. While it is deep work, there is also a lot of freedom within the framework so you can fit the learning into your lifestyle easily.”

    “I went in for one of CCM’s free info session and experienced my very first art therapy exercise where I plunged into the depths of my imagination. This was the world I loved as kid, and abandoned as an adult. This was a course that encouraged us to ignite our inner child. To draw, play, dance, laugh, and learn. It made me feel free to be me.”

    “Studying at the College of Complementary Medicine has been such a fulfilling experience. The college has provided an immense amount of support throughout all stages of the journey – especially during the larger phases of online learning. It has been a pleasure to learn from so many inspiring leaders/teachers within the industry, that have facilitated my development into becoming my own unique practitioner! Highly recommend to anyone interested!”

    “The Transpersonal Counselling course was the most profound course I’ve done. You not only experience a true journey to the soul yourself, but you learn how to hold space and apply a series of transpersonal processes that can help your clients to find their wisdom and resources for their own healing journey. You learn a client centered therapy that works with the soul, mind, body and spirit. It is an incredible experience of self-discovery, connection, support and wisdom to become a therapist”

    “I had a genuinely wonderful experience studying at the College of Complementary Medicine. The vast information that you learn really allows you a wide range of ways you can practice Kinesiology and Mind Body Medicine make it your own. Hands down the best education I have received and so appreciative of my time there. Thanks CCM for putting me on the path for the most rewarding dream career I could imagine.”

  • What is Kinesiology?

    Kinesiology is a modality that integrates many techniques from both western and eastern approaches. A Kinesiologist uses muscle monitoring, a tool that allows the practitioner to get an insight about how the brain relays information to the body.

    A very simple explanation is, under stress the brain’s ability to send and receive messages from the body is reduced. This is what practitioners look for when they do muscle monitoring. Muscle monitoring is a process where the practitioner applies gentle pressure against a muscle (an arm or a leg) in order to get feedback from the brain. In our kinesiology courses we teach traditional Kinesiology techniques combined with the key areas of complementary health.

  • How to become a Kinesiologist?

    In Australia, the most common way of becoming a kinesiologist is to study through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). It is important that the training is delivered by an RTO as this assures quality training and delivery. As an RTO with over 20 years of experience, we deliver kinesiology courses in Melbourne and Sydney, and with our unique delivery method, you can study kinesiology from anywhere in Australia.

  • What is Kinesiology used for?

    Kinesiology has many benefits and is all about the client learning about themselves and the stress factors that are getting in the way of them enjoying a better life. Kinesiology is used for physical, emotional, biochemical, and energetic imbalances. People may see a kinesiologist as they want to understand more about themselves and what prevents them from recovering or dissolving stress.

    Some of the most common uses of kinesiology would be helping clients with issues around sleep, digestion issues, low energy, and pain problems. However, kinesiologists also work with relationship problems, learning issues, and calming and connecting to self.

  • How does Kinesiology work?

    In some countries, the definition of Kinesiology is the study of the mechanics of body movements. However, in Australia and in our kinesiology course, kinesiology is more than that. Kinesiology is a modality where the practitioner identifies stresses in the client’s body. These can be physical, emotional, energetic, and biochemical. A kinesiology practitioner uses a variety of tools and techniques to help clients address and resolve these issues.

  • Where can I study Kinesiology in Sydney?

    In Sydney, you can study kinesiology through our College (College of Complementary Medicine CCM). At our Sydney campus, we offer Kinesiology face-to-face study and online combined. Our unique online combined study method means we can offer our kinesiology courses throughout Australia. Our kinesiology courses in Sydney are delivered from our Surry Hills campus, which is a short walk from Central Station.

  • How long does it take to train as a Kinesiologist?

    At CCM we offer a variety of delivery methods. This includes face-to-face delivery at our Sydney and Melbourne campuses. We also offer online combined, a balance between face-to-face and online learning. Depending on which kinesiology training the student chooses will determine the length of study. Our kinesiology courses and training can take between 12 months and 2 years.

  • What is the best way to learn Kinesiology?

    The best way to learn kinesiology is through a college or institute that has a long history of delivering quality kinesiology courses. Ideally, it is good to have a variety of teachers, as each trainer can bring their own unique clinical experience into the classroom.

    At CCM we have been delivering complementary medicine courses for over 100 years of combined teaching experience. Some students prefer face-to-face study while others like our combination of online and face-to-face learning. We offer both delivery methods to suit individual learning styles.
