Dr. Chris Motley blends ancient Eastern medicine with modern science, creating a heart-centred, body-intelligent approach to healing. In this episode, we explore his integrative philosophy—merging acupuncture, clinical kinesiology, functional lab testing, frequency medicine, and emotional energetics. We uncover how to truly listen to the body's wisdom and empower clients to heal from within. Whether you're a science-driven coach or one who resonates more with energy and intuition, this conversation offers universal insight and inspiration.

Tune in to learn:

  • Bridges between Eastern and Western healing modalities.
  • Techniques like kinesiology and biofeedback for energetic balance.
  • Emotional energetics—how feelings manifest physically.
  • Practical tools for guiding clients with respect for both tradition and innovation.
