Welcome to Life Activated

Your Journey to Healing Starts Here

Activated – meaning, to cause a sequence of events; or to cause something to start.

If you have found this page, chances are that your search for answers on how to get relief from your physical pain, emotional struggles, constant fatigue or just to get someone to listen to you about niggling health concerns has been relentless.

You may even bluff to others that “I am fine or coping”, “It doesn’t matter”, “I have it all under control”, or “I just need a good holiday.”

Does your life sound like this…

  • You have been given the run around, tried many things without lasting relief. Were told to just do your best and take some pills until the pain is too much and you finally need surgery.

  • You may be on a waiting list for a specialist or investigative procedure which feels like an eternity, giving you no hope or relief in sight.

  • You may be that person who has been searching for a more natural and holistic approach, who does not want to buy into things that simply cover up existing symptoms or even create new ones for you.

  • You have previously sought therapy to settle your worried mind, calm your anxiety or help you change behaviour that you know is unhealthy… Have done lots of talking, reflecting, journalling, practised mindfulness, screamed into a pillow, were put on anti-depressants but still deep-down feel like the needle did not really move much for you.

  • Or perhaps you understand your problems, but you still don't know what is holding you back from real and lasting change. But you do know deep down that you could be in a better place than where you are now. That life could be different in a good way.

Then you are going to love it here…

If you are ready and willing to take responsibility for your health and wellbeing. Are tired of just getting by, being fatigued/ unmotivated or wishing your life was somehow different. And you are ready to do what is necessary to create a life or version of yourself that you love.

It is why I love what I do, helping people to get back to the best version of themselves… simple.

The truth is the pressures of our modern, technologically advanced and fast paced lives challenge our nervous systems like never before. Indeed, many of us are just in ‘survival’ states right now and this does not allow use to function at our highest potential.

You see each person’s set of symptoms is a signal from their body to bring attention to something it needs. Something hidden that wants to come to the surface to be released. This is my job, to gently dig and unscramble the puzzle by listening to and interrupting what your body needs and wants you to know. I help to facilitate your nervous system and body retuning to a more balanced and relaxed state. You possess everything you need to make real breakthroughs in all areas of your health and wellbeing. I am just here to support that.

My aim is to give you a safe space to explore or to vent, to be listened to and to be free to talk about anything. Hopefully you will also find some relief from pain in whatever form it takes or perhaps help to gain control of those parts of you that are overwhelmed by life, family, relationships, work, society and at times the world in general.  The intention is that you leave from here feeling lighter, happier, with less pain, stress or problems than you walked in the door with and that you may leave with some answers to your questions or some direction to help light your path.

Life can be challenging and even harsh at times and we all need support now and then. You don’t have to continue to suffer in silence or wait until ‘things get better’. In this quick paced world in which we all live, life will just pass you by if you do. And, getting help sooner rather than later may save you time, money, emotional stress and further problems down the track.

The things people say…

  • “All my life I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks. This year however I had a massive scare when my anxiety took a turn for the worse. I was taken via ambulance to the hospital as I was convinced, I was having a heart attack or stroke. My body was shaking, my heart was pounding and gained a beat and my speech was slurred. After tests and an appointment with a heart specialist it was confirmed, my heart was okay and I had in fact had a severe panic attack. I had to make a change to my life, as I could not go on like this any longer. Feeling deflated in my life and unsure of what or how to fix it I turned to Chere. I wasn’t sure about this type of treatment at first, however after one session I felt at ease. I felt my body changing, something inside of me had already shifted. Simple things began to no longer worry me like driving the car and being worried about the person driving behind me. I no longer felt this stress. A weight had already been lifted off my shoulders. Continuing to see Chere after a few short sessions I was finally able to wake up in the morning and feel good about my day. I now no longer feel stressed or worried as soon as I wake up out of bed. I can cope with every day stresses and finally for the first time in my life feel in control of my own emotions. Life is so much better thanks to Chere.”

  • "I have no previous experience of kinesiology however I am very open to all complementary healing modalities, so I went to Chere with an open mind. She was always very warm and welcoming at every session. She was very thorough and caring and I felt very comfortable with her and able to discuss all my concerns. We worked on so many issues but one that stood out the most was my tennis elbow. It had been troubling me for months and often woke me up at night. After the session it disappeared, and it has not come back. There is so much more to physical and mental health than we realise, and modern medicine misses so many aspects. Kinesiology gets to the heart of the problem. I highly recommend Chere as a Kinesiology practitioner. Much love”

    – JENNY

  • “I have been seeing Chere for 6 months now and have some amazing results. We did a hormonal balance as I was having random days of feeling low, tired, cranky, out of sorts and even some depression but mostly feeling like I'm unable to cope with anything at all with no discernible reason. After the balance I have not had any days of these things and have been able to handle stress much better, an unexpected positive was that for the last 3 months this balance has also stopped my migraines completely. Chere is lovely to work with, she has a serene professionalism which puts you at ease while being both kind and friendly. I highly recommend her as a Kinesiologist.”

  • “I could feel changes in my throat as the practitioner worked on my immunity. Pain came and went. My earache has gone now. Thank you.”

    – LYNETTE

  • “I had been diagnosed with Dupuytren’s contracture in my hand with two large lumps clearly visible. After two sessions on my hand one lump has disappeared altogether and the other is about quarter of the size. Very happy with the results. Even more impressive is that there is no known cure for this condition.”

  • I’m a 16 year old boy, I don’t know how it works. But it does, I can see a future for myself.

  • 7 years ago, I started a journey on self-awareness & improvement. I had a variety of avenues I took, & was feeling a lot better within myself. Then last year I met Chere, who introduced me to kinesiology. I can honestly say, this is what I needed to get me the rest of the way. While still a work in progress, I have stopped taking my antidepressants. Which I have been on for 20 plus years, & have been off them for about 7 mths now. I’m eternally thankful to Chere at Life Activated, for giving me the best vision of myself. Annah
