Padraig King

After decades of dedicated clinical work, I have stepped back from private practice to focus entirely on writing and training. This chapter of my life is about reflecting on and passing forward the strategies, insights, and protocols I’ve developed over many years.

My goal now is to make these tools accessible to anyone who wants to improve their own life—or the lives of others. Everything I teach is grounded in practical, real-life experience and designed to create meaningful change.

That’s why all proceeds from my training courses go directly to Wells for Zoë, a remarkable Irish charity that empowers the poorest of the disadvantaged in Malawi to feed themselves and their families, generate income, and educate their children—breaking the cycle of poverty and deprivation.

When you learn and grow through my work, you're not only improving your own life — you’re helping to lift others, too.

“It’s not how much you leave behind when you die, but the changes you help others make in the lives of others that matter most.”

I teach methods and strategies developed through years of work with children, families, teachers, therapists, and professionals. These include:

  • Movement and balance-based protocols to reduce fear and increase learning potential
  • Techniques for overcoming overwhelm and anxiety
  • Simple, practical steps for calm focus, improved posture, and clear speech
  • Empowering others to become confident and self-sufficient in managing change

My trainings are structured yet accessible, with space to reflect, explore, and practise everything you learn.

All upcoming training courses are listed on the Training Courses page. These one-day and weekend events are open to:

  • Kinesiologists (TFH Level 4 and beyond)
  • Educators, therapists, and parents looking for practical tools
  • Anyone interested in personal development and legacy work

All proceeds go to charity. When you book a place, you’re helping yourself—and helping a family in need.

Fear Paralysis Reflex Training

What makes this training different from others?

In most trainings, the focus is on passing on techniques—what to do, how to do it, and how quickly results can be achieved. However, real transformation begins with the kinesiologist’s observations and perception. This course invites a shift in how you see, hear, smell, and sense the client’s state of body and mind—not just what you do.

What is Padraig King sharing in this training?

Padraig is sharing the protocol he’s developed over two decades—not to create copies of his practice, but to open a doorway into a more responsive, respectful, and connected way of working with clients. It’s not just about fixing them—it’s about listening deeply at all levels, including to what they don’t say, can’t think, or are unable to do due to being trapped in a captive state.

Why is observing and active listening more important than fixing?

When working with clients who are shut down, overwhelmed, or living in fear, the usual tools may not be enough.
What’s needed first is a way of being that gently calms both the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) systems—before a word is spoken about change.

Our first mini-goal is to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and comfortable. When the client’s nervous system no longer feels under threat, true healing and internal change can begin to unfold naturally.

This process often starts with the kinesiologist entering the space in a calm, open-minded, and balanced state. From there, our second mini-goal is to nurture trust—helping the client feel secure enough to shift from self-protection into genuine connection and growth.

What is the Fear Paralysis Reflex, and why does it matter?

The Fear Paralysis Reflex is the deepest primitive, protective response. When unintegrated or reactivated by trauma, it can lead to resistance, self-sabotage, avoidance, or aggression (passive or active). This training teaches you how to recognise and honour these patterns, supporting clients without pushing them. Instead, you'll scaffold them to move beyond their fears and into the freedom that comes from reconnecting with inner security, confidence, and strength.

What will I learn in this course?

You’ll learn how to see beneath behaviours, recognise subtle signals of fear, and respond in ways that facilitate movement toward safety and change. It’s about holding a safe space—not applying pressure. It’s a shift from doing to being—with real, lasting results. As John Milton wrote: “They also serve who stand and wait.”

Who is this for?

This is for kinesiologists and those who have completed Touch for Health 4 and wish to go deeper. Many clients have learned to mask their frozen state. They’ve adapted and pushed through just enough to function—but not to thrive. They need someone who sees what’s real, who waits, and who can support them gently until their nervous system says yes—making change feel natural and easy.

What can I expect from the day in Cashel?

On July 19th, you’ll experience hands-on learning in a supportive space. The protocol is simple, easy to apply, and highly effective. But the deeper learning is internal—changing how you see and connect with clients affected by the Fear Paralysis Reflex.

Is this training right for me?

If you’ve already booked, you’ve chosen more than a course—you’ve chosen transformation.

If you’re still considering, trust your instinct. This work has a way of calling the right people at the right time. “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”

Padraig King is offering this training to only a small group. This is your opportunity to learn directly from the originator—someone with decades of experience and a rare ability to guide others into deeper, more impactful practice.
