ABOUT KIRSTEN MEYER – Owner and Myosteo Health Therapist
Hello! My name is Kirsten Meyer and I am the owner of Myosteo Health & Therapy. I originally started out with a career in Interior Design, a sector I worked in for over 10 years! During this period, I got to know first-hand the negative effects of stress, both physically and emotionally, can have on one’s body. In addition to this, as well as for several years prior, I also suffered from chronic shoulder pain. I tried numerous modalities for relief and went for countless X-rays yet the pain persisted and nothing worked in the long term. It was during this time that I became more and more interested in the various modalities and why one solution worked, why another solution didn’t, and why my shoulder pain persisted! This all peaked my interest in the human body and so my research began…
At the beginning of 2011 I enrolled in a Holistic Massage Course. After witnessing and feeling the benefits of massage, I enrolled in the Advanced Sports Massage Course wanting to further my skills and better my techniques. However, during this time I was still looking for that elusive treatment that would address my nagging shoulder problem. Massage helped, but didn’t resolve it long term. Through more research, my growing knowledge of the human body, persistence….and the help of online research, I came across a modality called Myosteopractic. Having read the background of the South African founder, Steve Mendonidis, I decided to pursue this avenue further.
After three initial sessions, the benefits were felt and this “sealed the deal” for me. I felt that this is what I had been looking for, it was what I needed and it was the only modality that effectively resolved my issue ….AND the effects lasted!
Through these personal experiences, as well as my growing interest in body function, and dysfunction, it led me to pursue a new career in bodywork.
After following my calling, I underwent an entire career change and established my wellness practice in November 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Later on, after being introduced to Scenar Therapy by a medical doctor, I began my training in this incredible and effective modality. I completed all three levels of training under Gill Hilcove in South Africa, and continue to broaden my knowledge with ongoing training and workshops. Where necessary, I combine these two amazing modalities in order to achieve incredibly effective results. Click here to read the many amazing testimonials from some of my very happy Clients!
In August 2023 I, together with my husband and our 2 young boys, relocated to the United Kingdom where I have been blessed to established my new practice in the beautiful town of Chichester.
