About

At Intertwined Marleen Harb we aim to empower you to become the best version of your healthy self. We are passionate about redefining the concept of health and wellness.

We believe that health is invaluable.

As we navigate through the transitions of life, from one season to another and through various life stages, the needs of your health evolve. This requires adaptability and a readiness to embrace change where necessary. At Intertwined we offer Clinical Nutrition and Kinesiology consults integrated with Mind Body Medicine techniques and philosophies.

Clinical Nutrition

Using evidence based research and protocols to assist you in improving your current health status. Viewing food as medicine, we support you with nutritional assessment, guidance and management. Each 1:1 consult provides a personalised treatment plan to guide you on your journey.

Kinesiology

Kinesiology uses the art of muscle testing, to assess and address imbalances in the body’s energy system. It integrates elements of western techniques with principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote physical, emotional and mental well-being. Through this approach, we aim to identify areas of tension and release blockages using acupressure points and mind-body medicine techniques. It is suggested that unresolved emotions and trauma can become trapped within the body, potentially manifesting as discomfort or dis-ease. By addressing these underlying stressors, we strive to promote balance and harmony within the body and mind.

Mind Body Medicine

A form of holistic counselling that recognises the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit. It acknowledges the influence of thoughts, emotions, beliefs and attitudes have on physical health. Mind Body Medicine emphasises the importance of addressing psychological and emotional factors in conjunction with physical symptoms to promote overall health. Mind Body Medicine is combined within our Kinesiology and Clinical Nutrition consults.
