Modern Meridian Therapies first originated in the 1960s with the work of the Detroit Chiropractor, Dr. George Goodheart. He examined the links between apparent muscle strength, organs, glands and meridians. Drawing on others' work in the field of muscle testing, neuro-lymphatic reflexes, cranial sutures and neuro-vascular reflexes, as well as research on acupuncture meridians, he called this approach Applied Kinesiology.
John Thie, a colleague of Goodheart's, introduced this to the public with his Touch for Health manual.

In the 1970s, psychiatrist John Diamond began to use muscle testing in psychotherapy and developed the field of Behavioral Kinesiology - in an attempt to integrate Applied Kinesiology and psychotherapy.
Beverley Hills psychologist, Roger Callahan studied with Diamond and applied this technique with a severely water-phobic client, achieving instantaneous remission. He called this technique Callahan Techniques Thought Field Therapy. His main contribution to the field was the identification of psychological reversal and the development of treatment for it.
Many others joined in the development of techniques in this area and began research into its effects in areas such as psychotrauma. In the mid 1990s Gary Craig, who had trained with Callahan, developed Emotional Freedom Techniques and began spreading his ideas with workshops and videos.
In 1998 The Association for Meridian Energy Therapies was formed in the United Kingdom by Silvia Hartmann and Chrissie Hardisty. Since then there has been a myriad of developments with three international conferences, a practitioner syllabus, new books, new variants and techniques and further research.
Janette has completed training with The Association for Meridian Energy Therapies and is a certified practitioner and member of the Association.
