DESMA CARVER

About Desma

Desma Carver has been a kinesiologist at Malvern Natural Health Care since the day we opened in 1995. She is 84 years young — and still one of the most sought-after practitioners at the clinic.

Desma’s greatest strength is her ability to connect with people. Sessions with her tend to go deep — it’s not unusual for people to laugh, cry, or both. That’s not a side effect; it’s the point. Getting to the emotional core of what’s driving a health issue is where Desma does her best work, and the release that comes from that can be profoundly therapeutic.

She works closely with Benjamin, and that collaboration runs through the clinic. When your naturopathic and kinesiology care are aligned, the results reflect it — physical, nutritional and emotional factors addressed together rather than in isolation.

Desma combines kinesiology with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), NLP, emotional counselling, and flower essence testing. She uses both Dr Bach and Australian Bush Flower Essences (ABFE), which can be made up fresh in our naturopathic dispensary. You’re also welcome to bring your own foods, remedies or substances for her to test — she can assess what effect they’re having on your body.

What a Session Involves

Each session includes both testing and balancing — Desma finds the issue and works to resolve it in the same appointment. The process has two stages:

Testing — using muscle testing to locate:

• Emotional triggers and negative patterns of thought or belief
• Dietary and nutritional imbalances
• Food sensitivities
• Environmental toxins
• Absorption and digestion issues — foods, minerals and vitamins

Balancing — using kinesiology tools to treat and resolve what’s found:

• Meridian balancing
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
• NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
• Guided visualisation and hypnotic techniques
• Creative visualisation and goal setting
• Emotional stress release
• Flower essence prescription — Dr Bach and Australian Bush Flower Essences (ABFE), made up in our dispensary

You’re also welcome to bring your own foods, remedies or substances — Desma can test these during the session to assess what effect they’re having on your body.
