Free To Be

Introduction

I was born and raised in Zimbabwe up until the age of 12, where-after my family moved to South Africa, and now reside in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal. This allowed me to finish my schooling at Epworth School in South Africa. After school, I studied Psychology and received cum laude for Honours in Psychology at UKZN. I have also studied and been practicing Specialised Kinesiology and Usui Reiki.

After experiencing debilitating social anxiety for many years, I reached out to Reiki Healing and Kinesiology, which led to an incredible turn-around in my self-awareness at the age of 21. This profound and life-changing experience ignited my passion and motivation to learn these modalities and help others.

Vision

I believe that we are all capable of shedding the mental, physical and emotional stress and trauma that weighs us down. It is my vision and mission to heal and assist as many people and animals as possible. This includes empowering people to take responsibility for their own life circumstances, healing and wellness. We all deserve to feel free and find peace. It is possible.

Healing, Communication, People, Animals, and Energy.

Services offered by Free To Be

Specialised Kinesiology

Kinesiology offers a powerful means to re-balance ourselves – physically, mentally and emotionally. Specialised Kinesiologists use muscle feedback as a stress monitor to identify imbalances in their client’s structural, chemical, mental and emotional energy systems, as well as their neurology. It is a tool used to identify external factors which are causing stress to the clients system, as well as to determine exactly which balances are needed. By correcting these imbalances, we are able to re-activate the body’s built-in healing ability, allowing the client to live to their full potential and lead happier and healthier lives.

 Distant/Remote Sessions

This option is for anyone who is too far away or too busy to book face-to-face sessions with me. Through using myself as an energetic surrogate for clients, I am able to offer full sessions with detailed voice-recorded feedback and support.

Homemade Customised Dog Stew

Fresh. Tailored. Healing.

Support your dog’s health with slow-cooked, nutrient-rich meals made just for them. Each stew is customised using Specialised Kinesiology to match your dog’s physical, emotional, and dietary needs — including allergy checks, supplement recommendations, and overall wellbeing.

Because every dog deserves to feel as good as they wag.

 Reiki Healing

Reiki is based on the understanding that an unseen life force energy flows through us all. It is what causes us to be alive. If one’s life force energy is low, or one has blocks or imbalances in the energy body (aura), then we are more likely to feel stress and get sick; if our life force energy is high and in balance, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Universal healing energy is channeled through the practitioner, out of their hands into the client. This activates the natural healing processes of the body to restore physical and emotional well-being.

Animal Kinesiology

Using the process of energetic surrogation and muscle-monitoring, I am able to gain feedback from the neurology of your pet’s brain and energy systems in their body. This allows me to pinpoint and balance the root cause of any behavioural issues or health challenges, to their fullest potential. This is a gentle and insightful process that allows me to identify what their stressors are and what the best options are moving forward.

 Massage Therapy

In training…

When we take medication, we suppress our bodies’ expression of the dis-ease.

In Specialised Kinesiology, we use the scientific technique of muscle-monitoring to gain direct feedback from the neurology of the brain. This enables us to pinpoint & balance the root of any mental, emotional, structural & chemical imbalances.

Feedback

From Clients

Courtney has completely changed my life. In just a few months I feel like I have control over my anxiety, energy levels improved and depression lifted. I don’t know how she does it, but i’m very grateful to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with balancing their emotions and trying to get out of a rough patch.

Heather Scott

I have had 2 Kinesiology sessions with Courtney and have felt unbelievable results. It has been a life changing experience Courtney has a very warm, friendly and professional approach. I highly recommend Free To Be.

Theodore Paul

I Had my first Kinesiology session last week.
Everything was explained during the treatment which made me more relaxed and curious about how my body was responding to the treatment. 
It was also such a beautiful experience and Free To Be gently balanced me, leaving me feeling calm, loved and breathing better after a week of being congested and sick! 
I highly recommend this treatment and Free To Be.

What an incredible soul. I would recommend her 100 times over. The love and energy she puts into her work and process to help you is incredible. Thank you so much for doing what you do. This is definitely what’s the universe wanted you to do.

Sam Kinsey

So yesterday our 10 year old cat’s one pupil was fully dilated so I was concerned and reached out to Courtney for advice and help. She managed to connect with him and his system said it was a problem that could be balanced. She told me it was related to fear that he was holding on from our other cat. She managed to balance both of the cats and told me to check in about 2 hours and he should be back to normal. I gave it some time and we checked again this morning and just like she said the problem disappeared and his eye is back to normal. He looks 100% normal again! I am a believer but every time I witness miracles happen it reminds me of just how powerful energy healing is. I am amazed at how spot on Courtney’s analysis is and how she was able to cure him with one treatment! Thank you again Courtney for your love and guidance in helping us and our fur babies heal.

Judy Hayes

I sincerely recommend Courtney at Free to Be with total respect and gratitude.
Long story short, a few distance healing sessions with Courtney gave me the clarity and tools I needed to overcome a few personal challenges I was facing in my life.
The most insightful aspect of the healing was understanding how all aspects of my being were inter-related. Mentally, physically, emotionally and even spiritually.
Courtney’s friendly, caring and “light” personality made the sessions and inter-actions flow with a genuine and gentle comfort which inspired me to be more open and free.
If you are experiencing any challenges or “discomfort” in any area of your life, I would suggest you contact Courtney. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results and what you might learn about yourself, just like I did.

I cannot praise Courtney enough for the incredible work she has done at Free To Be healing. During some of the darkest and most difficult times of my life, Courtney has proved to be an unwavering source of hope, comfort, and strength.
Her healing abilities are beyond compare—I felt such an intense level of energy and transformation with each session, that I knew things were going to change for the better. She uses a combination of techniques to help deal with both a physical and emotional level, helping to release all the stored up pain and trauma, and providing tools to better manage emotional responses.
Not only does she house an unwavering understanding of the mind-body connection, she also has a deep intuition that enables her to inch closer and closer to the root cause of many existing issues. With each appointment, I felt myself growing lighter, more hopeful, and more in-tune with the power of my own inner resources.
If you are seeking to let go of past trauma, free yourself of physical ailments, or gain more self-empowerment, look no further than Free To Be Healing and Courtney!

 I have had the pleasure of meeting Courtney Bone through a course that we studied together.

Courtney is an amazing person. She has a beautiful heart. As we spent more time together, I got to know how simple and sincere she really is. Courtney had studied Kinesiology and Reiki. With her calm and gentle nature, she would often do balances for me. With sincere energy, she always gave her best to make sure that I was comfortable and that I was balanced correctly. I would often send her a message after a balance to let her know just how wonderful I felt after her balance. She would not believe that she has such healing hands.

Once Courtney did Reiki for me, it was the most beautiful experience! I felt as though I was floating while she used energy for healing in Reiki. Courtney is a lovely person with so much love and heart to give. She is passionate about her work and I wish her lots of great success in her business going forward.

Thank you, Courtney, for your balances and for the many hours we spent practising together. I really appreciate it. Yours sincerely,

Priya Jetha

A big, big thank you to Courtney ❤️ an informative, super professional and spot on session with my fur baby.

I would recommend to all for yourself, your fur babies and any loved ones in need of balance and guidance. ❤️

Forever grateful ❤️

I had an amazing first session with Courtney yesterday. I was a little apprehensive about whether it would be “gimmicky” but after our session and how I’m feeling I am sold and would wholeheartedly recommend to book!

I started my journey with Courtney just over a year ago. My 3-year-old son has a speech delay and I wanted to see if there was a way that kinesiology could help.
Courtney did his first session remotely and balanced quite a few stresses that he was experiencing at the time. Her feedback was very thorough and extremely accurate to what we experienced daily. We noticed an immediate difference when he started trying out new words and found his confidence had improved a lot. Having never experienced kinesiology, I was impressed but still slightly skeptical. He had another session a month or two later and again, we noticed a big improvement in both his speech and his confidence. His teachers at school immediately noticed a difference and so did our extended family who do not see him every day. I then decided to try a session for myself. Courtney did various balances and it has helped me immeasurably. Courtney has since done a session on my 6-year-old daughter and a few more sessions on my son and even did a session on our 3 dogs! We are now planning to do regular sessions where we are concentrating a lot on my son’s stress levels, confidence, and speech. I truly feel that Courtney has helped with him in a very special way. She is kind, caring, and thoughtful and I am so happy that she has come into our lives.

I highly recommend Courtney to anyone who is looking to adopt an animal as a post adoption session.
I have 3 Pikanese, I adopted the first boy just over a year ago from an elderly couple who couldn’t take give him the adventure he needed, a year later I adopted 1 eyed George who suffered a very heavy trauma with his owner being killed by a home invasion. The two of them really had their own insecurities and would fight alot.
Courtney did a distant session on them and I obviously questioned this as I do with everything.
I woke up the next morning and the both of them were snuggling up next to me in bed and they have been at peace with each other ever since. They have an understanding of each others boundaries and it’s just wonderful and so much easier now.
Thank you miss Courtney for making the transition so much easier for our little FURmily ♡
We are so grateful!
Cairly Matthews

This was my second experience with Courtney’s work and once again, her incredible way of working with energies and powerfully intuitive healing abilities has surpassed my expectations.
Our new dog Bohdi is a rescue and has experienced alot of trauma in his early years and within a few hours of receiving a treatment from Courtney, there were visible signs of him relaxing and not acting out. It is amazing to see how long distant healing can be so effective. And through the readings, how we got to understand Bodhi from a emotional space.
Some weeks since the treatment, Bodhi has taken on the changes that were chanelled in the session and I am so impressed and grateful to see positive change in his behavior and within his reactions.
I highly recommend Courtney if you are looking for shifts and healing for you and your loved ones.
Siobhan Power

I had been diagnosed with hormone-positive breast cancer at the age of 37, and underwent a lumpectomy, followed by a 20-day radiation treatment.
Despite the recommendation for hormone therapy, I felt it wasn’t the right path for me. My desire was to understand the root causes of my cancer and how to prevent its return. Additionally, I was facing other health issues, such as mild lactose intolerance and sensitivity to spicy foods, which had developed over the past few months.

In my quest for deeper self-understanding and self-mastery, I stumbled upon Courtney. She came to our home and took the time to truly get to know me. Through her healing methods, she unearthed underlying emotional issues that I wasn’t consciously aware of but had sensed were there.

Courtney’s work not only healed my intolerance ( lactose and chilli), allowing me to enjoy a delicious curry once more, but it also provided me with profound insights into the origins of my cancer. I now possess the knowledge and tools to manage my actions and thoughts to prevent its recurrence.

Thank you, Courtney, for your incredible energy and spirit!
