Working with individual clients and companies to provide high quality, confidential and compassionate assistance to those who are ready to change. thinkshift offers a holistic approach and range of therapies to facilitate change management, growth and build upon existing core competencies.NES Health Practitioners see health holistically. Life starts with information, which guides energy, which becomes organized matter. Our technology, therapies and philosophy take all of these into account, as we measure and correct fields that drive physiology and encourage lifestyle choices that support good health.I was trained originally in Provo, Utah, USA in 1999 on the The Bio-Energetic Stress Test (BEST), also known as electro-dermal screening, biomeridian stress test, or Meridian Stress Assessment (MSA). It is a non-invasive and painless testing tool that measured electrical conductivity through pressure on acupuncture points on the hands and feet.
