Meet Saci
Saci McDonald is an Energy Kinesiology practitioner, a faculty member at the Kinesiology Institute, and the creator of The Harmony Deck. Born and raised in Scotland, she brings a practical, no-nonsense sensibility to the world of somatic and energy work.
Born from Practice
The Harmony Deck is the natural evolution of Saci’s thirty years as a practitioner. She created this tool to bridge the gap between her one-on-one sessions and your daily life, distilling a comprehensive system into a playful deck of cards you can use anywhere.
It’s a lighthearted way to get out of your head and back into your body. By trusting your gut and following the actions, you’ll feel more rooted, more grounded, and—best of all—more like yourself. It’s effective, it’s easy, and it’s fast.
Saci remains a firm believer that personal evolution and optimum health don’t have to be a struggle. When we learn to truly listen, the body reveals an extraordinary, natural capacity to heal itself, seated in her core conviction that ‘you possess the power to heal.’
“You possess the power to heal.”
