AKA Management Committee

Nanette Abbott is a qualified kinesiologist dedicated to supporting holistic wellbeing through gentle, client-centred care. She works with the body’s innate intelligence to help clear and realign energetic imbalances.

Drawing on kinesiology principles, stress-release techniques, and intuitive insight, Nanette creates personalised sessions that offer healing and self-awareness. Her approach is both compassionate and grounded.

Having worked in the wellness arena for 25 years, she is excited to draw from her grassroots and senior experience in both kinesiology and business. Joining the MC within the AKA, she is passionate about providing continued opportunities for professional learning, self development and long lasting personal growth.

She welcomes members seeking community and connection as we offer forums for sharing experiences and knowledge.

Karen began her kinesiology education in 2003 in Perth, completing her first Touch for Health unit.

Living in regional Western Australia and raising a young family, she paused her studies before resuming in 2005 with training in Three-In-One Concepts, which marked the beginning of her practitioner journey.

In 2010, she returned to Perth to study at a kinesiology college, completing an Advanced Diploma of Kinesiology in 2014. These studies complemented her Postgraduate Certificate in Preventive Medicine (Nursing). She has also undertaken training in Brain Integration with Charles and Jacqui, including Simply the Brain, and completed several courses with Hugo Tobar. More recently, in collaboration with her naturopath, she developed a Flower Essence-based procedure that has achieved strong client outcomes.

She has run a kinesiology clinic alongside a nursing career since 2006 and, in 2020, transitioned from her 30-year nursing career to full-time kinesiology practice. She is based in southwest Western Australia and is actively involved with the not-for-profit organisation Wellness Agents Inc, which focuses on empowering people to take responsibility for their health.

Irene joined the Australian Kinesiology Association in 1994 as an Associate Member and has held Professional registration since 1996. She has made a significant contribution to the Association at both state and national levels over more than two decades.

Irene served on the WA Branch Committee from 1995 to 2010, including seven years as State President. In 1998, she was elected as the WA representative on the AKA National Committee, serving until 2010. During this time, she held the role of National Secretary from 2001 to 2007 and was elected Chair of the National Committee in 2010.

She played a key role in the development and revision of the AKA Constitution, including the version adopted in 1999. Irene was Conference Convenor for the 2005 AKA Conference in Perth and Co-Convenor for the 2011 Conference in Fremantle, and has presented at kinesiology conferences nationally and internationally.

An AKA-accredited course author, Irene wrote Healing Innately and co-authored Transforming DNA Memories, taught in Melbourne for ten years. With over 25 years’ experience in State and Federal Government, she brings strong expertise in legislation and governance.

Belinda holds a Double Degree in Business (Management and Marketing) and Communication (Journalism) and began her career as a Management Consultant and Project Manager with a global consulting firm. She specialised in learning and development, behavioural change, organisational change, and knowledge management, delivering large-scale communication and training programs for corporate clients. Her work developed strong expertise in project management, stakeholder engagement, and training design and delivery.

Following a health crisis, Belinda transitioned into complementary therapies and completed a Certificate IV and Diploma of Kinesiology with Kinesiology Schools Australia, along with advanced training in Counselling Kinesiology, Cellular Memory Integration, Rhythmic Movement Training, and Psych-K®. She is also a certified Mind Detox Practitioner, Qigong Teacher, Reiki Practitioner, and HeartMath Add Heart Facilitator.
