She is an internationally recognised teaching facilitator for various branches of Specialised Kinesiology including Educating Alternatives (Australia), The International college of Professional Kinesiology Practice (New Zealand) and Touch for Health.  She also has her Adult Training qualification from the University of South Africa. 

Margie has spent the past 15 years following her passion in the holistic health field with a particular interest in helping others to come to self awareness and self-understanding through changing unresourceful mental and behavioural patterns.  Self driven and with a practical organisational capacity, she has used her ability to focus, and her “just do it” attitude, to create one of the largest Specialised Kinesiology Teaching schools in South Africa and has a played a key leadership role in the Association of Specialised Kinesiologists of South Africa.

In addition to being a Specialised Kinesiologist, Margie is also an accredited riding instructor, and a successful dressage competitor having riden for the Transvaal Dressage team.  Her longstanding love for horses has led her to seek ways of creating co-operation and understanding with the horse.  She is also pioneering the use of kinesiology techniques for horses and dogs in South Africa by writing her own kinesiology workshops. At the moment Margie is involved in setting up workshops for corporate companies using horses as a metaphor for positive re-enforcement.  

She is a recently qualified Natural Step Trainer and is studying methods of setting up sustainable development housing estates using natural sustainable methods of building, gardening, water and energy use.  

She is also studying Traditional Chinese Medicine.

She continues to expand her kinesiology knowledge by attending local and international courses and teacher training  when ever possible.  

The Kinesiology Centre for International Studies believes in offering their students the best courses available and where possible also offers training by kinesiology instructors from other provinces as well as from around the world!
