You're the one everyone leans on. You say yes when you mean no, lie awake replaying the day, and by the evening there's nothing left for you.
From the outside, you look like you're coping. Inside, you're tired of holding it all together. You want to feel calmer and more like yourself, and you want someone to ask how you are and make time for the answer.
Balanced Me offers one-to-one kinesiology sessions and support for overwhelmed women who feel anxious, stretched or disconnected from themselves, at any stage of life. Work with Bonny Thio, a Melbourne kinesiologist.

You might not have said any of these out loud. Perhaps one or two feel familiar.
You’re afraid you’re only valued for what you do.Being productive, helpful or successful feels like how you earn your place. You struggle to believe you would still be enough if you stopped.
You’ve built a life that looks good but doesn’t feel right.You’ve reached milestones you thought would make you happy, yet privately wonder, “Is this really the life I want?”
You feel you have to earn love by being easy to be around.You swallow your feelings, avoid difficult conversations and accommodate everyone else because you’re afraid of what might happen if you ask for more.
Everyone assumes you can handle it.You’re the reliable one at work, in your family or in your relationship. You wish someone would notice how much it takes—and offer support before you have to ask.
Your achievements never quiet the feeling that you’re falling short.Praise feels temporary. Criticism stays with you. You keep moving the goalposts and rarely let yourself feel proud.
You’re lonely in a relationship you expected to feel close in.You may share a home and responsibilities while feeling emotionally unseen. You miss being listened to, wanted and understood.
You’ve spent so long meeting expectations that your own wants feel unfamiliar.When someone asks what would make you happy, you struggle to answer without considering everyone else first.
You’re scared that making a change will disappoint people.Leaving a job, setting a boundary or choosing a different direction could mean upsetting someone. Staying where you are is becoming painful too.
You feel ashamed that you’re struggling when you “should” be grateful.You compare your life with others, minimise your feelings and tell yourself you have no reason to feel this way.
You’re afraid more years will pass while you keep putting yourself on hold.You want something to change, yet worry about making the wrong choice and losing what you already have.
If you're a mum, it might also look like carrying the mental load for the household, juggling school pickups around meetings, or doubting yourself about going back to work. Bonny works with mums at every stage, too.

"I felt a lot more confident, clearer about my path and calmer"
Bonny is a great listener and I found my session to be very insightful. The session itself was incredibly grounding and insightful. By the end, I felt noticeably more Balanced and, I felt a lot more confident, clearer about my path and calmer.

Bonny starts by asking about what has been weighing on you, whether that’s pressure at work, carrying everyone else, a big change in your life or struggling to put your own needs first.
In an in-person session, you lie fully clothed on a treatment table. Bonny applies gentle pressure to an arm muscle and observes its response as part of her kinesiology process. Together, you explore the stress, past experiences and emotions you want to talk about, including trauma if you choose to share it. You can pause or decline anything at any time.
Your session is shaped around how you want to feel: calmer, more confident, comfortable in your body and connected to the people you love.
