So you are considering Kinesiology and you are considering me. And you want to get a feel of exactly who is Liesl Frank? Why should I trust her with my healing journey? So I will share with you who I am and what I have gone through and why I love Kinesiology so much.
I was born in Sydney and grew up in the country. Firstly, in a small village (pop. 200) for my primary school years and then for my high school years, I lived in a rural country town (pop. 16,000) and during that time I lived in Thailand for a year on exchange. During my 12 years of schooling (excluding Thailand) I was bullied and ostracised for ten of them. How did this affect me? I had zero self-esteem, zero confidence, I felt completely unaccepted and believed that no one would want to be friends with me. I hid it all behind a “bright smile” like I had been taught to. The excellent advice of the 70’s and 80’s (not) – “just pretend like it isn’t affecting you”
And I continued to suffer
I have memory of “a moment in time” that has always stuck with me. It was in 1995 and I was sitting in my lounge room with my two flatmates. And I remember thinking to myself that I wish that you could just ask your friends for recommendations for a good psychiatrist like you would a hairdresser or a car mechanic. But because I was too embarrassed back then to share my problems with my friends, I continued to suffer in silence for another eight years.
My Breaking Point
It all came to a head in 2003. I was working in Advertising and I was so stressed and so under pressure because I had an underlying fear of I’m not good enough. I was working 6o hours a week, every week and 20 of those hours were unpaid overtime (every week). I was lying to my partner saying that I was shopping on a Saturday, when what I was really doing was going into work, to work even more over-time. Even with all of this stress, I still hadn’t reached breaking point.
My breaking point was after a lunch with a friend who was a sales rep for one of the magazines. I took the information that he gave me about low sales, to negotiate a better deal on the campaign that I was working on. And in that moment, I thought to myself “Who am I? The old Liesl would never do anything like that. How did I get to this place?” I felt like that my true self had stretched so far away from my body, like a stretched rubber band – that I was in danger of snapping
It was in that moment that I decided – that I had to make myself a priority. I had to find my way back to my true self. And I had to see it the whole way through. I made myself a promise that I would continue on my healing journey until I had cleared all of my baggage.
More about me . . .
If you would like to know more about me and what I have gone through. How I went from zero self esteem to totally rocking belief in myself.
I recently did a radio interview for Mental Health Week. I share what it was like for me growing up feeling like an outcast. Plus you get to see some truly daggy photos of me from my earlier years 😉
Why Kinesiology?
I had been introduced to Kinesiology by my flatmate in 1996 as she was using me as her guinea pig as she was learning the technique. And I remember being blown away by the fact that the cause of my sore shoulder was a result of me being angry at my then boyfriend.
I thought to myself, this is what I want. I want a natural, intuitive method of healing myself that would remove all of my negative thoughts and feelings. I liked the concept of my body healing itself.
How has Kinesiology helped me?
How has Kinesiology helped me? In so so many ways:
-
I was bullied all throughout my primary and high school years and by several bosses in the workplace. This lead to crippling self-esteem / self-confidence issues.
-
I was always so concerned with what other people thought of me. I was desperate to be liked, and I would keep on changing my personality trying to figure out which one would make me acceptable to others.
-
I grew up believing that I was unworthy. Unworthy of love, unworthy of friendship, unworthy of having good things happen to me, unworthy of achieving what I wanted in life.
-
I was sexually assaulted when I was 7 and again when I was 16 years old. Both of these incidents had a major impact on how I behaved in relationships.
-
As a result of all of the above, my head was a mess. I was constantly having negative thoughts rattle around in my head all day long.
My life now? Well . . . .
-
I have never felt freer in my whole life. I have found and am living my life’s purpose. And every day my soul and heart sings with joy.
-
My confidence is rock solid.
-
I am no longer a victim of / trapped or effected by my past
-
I am full of self-love
-
I know my value and my worth
-
I know that I am deserving of good things in life
-
I have awoken to a spiritual journey beyond my wildest dreams
In 2010, I decided that I wanted to help other people to be able to leave their baggage behind and to realise their dreams. So I studied a dual Diploma in “Holistic Kinesiology” & “Mind Body Medicine” at the College of Complementary Medicine.
And it was the best decision that I ever made. I love my job. I love seeing my clients transform their lives. Every day I go to work is a blessing. So . . .
