We are all guilty of it from time to time – packing too much into our lives, pushing ourselves to the limit, trying to please everyone and, ultimately, neglecting ourselves. This was the life Suzy Burrows was leading in the UK until, at the age of 38, everything came crashing down with a massive burnout. It took a year of self-care to heal and evaluate her life, leading to the courageous decision to divorce her husband and move her young daughters to Ibiza for a fresh start.
“It was a lonely and overwhelming time, but looking back now, it was such a positive turning point in my life,” says Suzy as we wander along Cala Pada near her home in Santa Eulalia. Qualifying in Systematic Kinesiology and throwing herself into a Neuro Linguistic Programming course to learn communication skills and understand herself and others better, Suzy is now a leading Dream Coach and Kinesiologist, guiding people to happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. And she is loving life again.
A relatively new science, Kinesiology is a mixture of chiropracting and Chinese Medicine – a powerful treatment as it addresses the whole body physically, chemically, emotionally and energetically. “There are no other treatments like this” says Suzy. “Through a non-invasive method of muscle testing, we find out what is going on within the body and ascertain what is in balance and what isn’t. When an imbalance is found there are various techniques to help rebalance the body in the form of supplements, body work, Chinese meridians and emotional release. The treatment works on the whole body, which is why it is so effective.”
The endocrine system is at the core of our health. It is a network of glands that secrete hormones directly into the blood stream, and it’s these glands that tell our body what to do and when to do it. “The majority of problems are linked to the digestive and endocrine systems of the body,” explains Suzy. “These are rarely in balance, so a reset of the system is a great way to improve your general health. Issues with the digestive system are often conditions such as IBS, constipation, parasites and colitis.
However, if the digestive system is out of balance, it can also cause less obvious symptoms linked to the gut such migraines, nausea, skin problems, low mood, lethargy and dehydration. A reset of the gut is a powerful treatment and can often address many issues in one go.”
Sometimes the simplest Kinesiology discovery transforms lives. “My youngest client was a ten-month old baby with a painful rash that the doctors said was eczema that she would eventually grow out of. We tested the child through a surrogate and we found out that her stomach meridian was weak and needed some rebalancing. With some simple food testing we found out she had an intolerance to dairy, egg, tomato and kiwi. Within four days the rash had gone and the baby was back to full health.”
