Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T)

Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) is an advanced form of biofeedback developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt and further evolved by Daniela Deiosso, MSc, Founder of the Klinghardt Institute. It works with the body’s autonomic nervous system - the part that regulates healing, repair, and balance - to identify and resolve hidden stresses that may be interfering with health.

A key principle of A.R.T. is that our bodies communicate and regulate through subtle electromagnetic signals and biophotons - tiny packets of light emitted by our cells. By working with the body’s natural use of full-spectrum light and biophoton communication, A.R.T. can reveal disturbances that conventional methods often overlook, such as unresolved infections, environmental toxins, scar interference fields, or even unresolved emotional trauma.

Using gentle muscle response testing, A.R.T. provides precise, real-time feedback about what is stressing the system, and more importantly, what helps restore balance. This allows the practitioner to:

  • Identify the true priority issues the body is facing.
  • Determine which therapies, remedies, or interventions the body responds positively to.
  • Support the natural self-healing capacity in a safe, individualized way.

The testing allows us to establish what will work for a particular stressor. We can test for all the main chronic infections and toxins and narrow down what to focus on. This may also cover things such as a bad sleeping location (geopathic stress), electromagnetic radiation, trauma, interference from scars, tattoos, hidden dental infections or jaw stress if these come up as priorities.

Solutions & Practice

We use Mental Field Technique (MFT) and Applied Psycho Neurobiology (APN) to clear unresolved emotions and Trauma which can be a key factor in illness. This involves a protocol of tapping and statements. The coloured glasses enable us to do deeper work. We only release what the body wants to release. Unresolved emotions are like programs that run in the background and influence a person’s health and state of mind, so it is important to clear them.

Solutions may include herbal remedies, detox, diet changes, scar deactivation, and trauma release. We confirm the effectiveness of each remedy using muscle-tension biofeedback to ensure it works synergistically for your healing.​​​​

In practice, A.R.T offers both a scientific lens into the body’s regulatory systems and a compassionate, person-centred approach. The aim is not simply to suppress symptoms, but to help clear obstacles to healing so that the body can return to its natural state of balance and vitality.

RSHom, BFVEA Tutor & Essence Producer

With over 20 years of experience rooted in the mystical landscape of Glastonbury, I’m a fully registered Homeopath, Flower Essence Producer, Practitioner, and Tutor with the British Flower and Vibrational Essence Association (BFVEA).

I co-create Wild Medicine Essences - from sacred places like Avalon, Iona, Penwith, and Dartmoor - and serve as a Trustee of Chalice Well, contributing to and teaching on the Chalice Well Essences Practitioner Training.

My holistic practice integrates homeopathy, bio-energetic diagnostics (like Bioresonance), vibrational medicine, herbal wisdom, and intuitive flower essence work. I lead retreats and workshops that invite participants into a deeper communion with nature and their inner healing path. Based in Glastonbury, I draw daily inspiration from its ancient wells, ley lines, and the vibrant plant spirits that energize my work.

I have worked as a midwife and holistic therapist for more than four decades, specialising in therapies that explore the psychological roots of illness. My training spans family constellation work, birth-trauma healing modalities, breathwork, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping), applied kinesiology, and nutrition. Drawing on the principles of German New Medicine, I help people uncover and resolve the emotional conflicts underlying physical symptoms.

I have a deep appreciation of how the psyche shapes the birth process. This understanding informs my practice and the retreats I lead, where participants are supported to release ancestral patterns and early-life imprints in a safe, nurturing environment.

My approach invites each person into a journey of self-discovery and genuine healing, blending evidence-based knowledge with a profound respect for the body’s innate wisdom.

RGN, MA, MMus, NAET practitioner, Advanced EFT and Matrix Reimprinting, A.R.T. Practitioner, Hypnotherapist

I’m a holistic energy healer with almost 30 years of experience. I began my career as a registered oncology nurse, but a fascination with complementary medicine soon led me toward an integrative approach to health and wellbeing.

In my clinic, Inspiring Wellness, I offer personalised sessions, drawing on a blend of therapies: NAET (a gentle allergy-clearing method), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or “Tapping”), Matrix Reimprinting to release early-life (in utero and birth), ancestral, or past-life trauma, Hypnosis for powerful, language-based transformation, and A.R.T.

I am also a classically trained singer and vocal coach using singing exercises to help students discover their true, healthy sound, so whether I’m supporting healing in the clinic or guiding a singer’s voice, my aim is the same: to help people reconnect with their own vitality and create lasting change.
