Born and raised in Toronto, Kendra’s path into the healing arts was circuitous. In 1998 she relocated to the UK followed by the births of her three children, each of whom presented her with diverse challenges.

She found Kinesiology in 2015 when she was at odds selecting and evaluating the correct protocols to heal herself and her family. This led to a diplomate-level study of Systematic Kinesiology, followed by a decade-long passion and commitment to mastering A.R.T. with the Klinghardt Institute.[cut] Kendra is deeply dedicated to helping people navigate complex health challenges, with a particular focus on neurodevelopmental issues in children.
