Teachers
Margie and Oliver
College Principle – Margie Donde is a skilled Specialised Kinesiology practitioner and instructor. After attending the Touch for Health training and conference and at the University of San Diego in 1990, Margie has spent the past 22 years following her passion in the holistic health field. As a full-time Specialised Kinesiology facilitator and instructor she has a particular interest in helping others to come to self-awareness and self-understanding through changing unresourceful emotional and behavioural patterns.
Self driven and with a practical organisational capacity, she has used her ability to focus, and her “just do it” attitude, to create one of the largest Specialised Kinesiology Teaching schools in South Africa.
She recently became an ICPKP FAC 1 Faculty Trainer after spending several intensive weeks working hard to meet the competency requirements and teaching the FAC 1 workshop alongside Dr Dewe in Melbourne, Australia. This means that besides teaching the full ICPKP diploma programme, Margie is now qualified to train Kinesiologists who want to become trainers of the ICPKP programme.
An accredited riding instructor, and successful dressage competitor her longstanding love for

She is also pioneering the use of kinesiology techniques and exploring natural feeding methods for horses in South Africa. At the moment Margie is involved in setting up workshops for corporate companies using horses as a metaphor for positive re-enforcement.

Gabby Fels started her Healing Path in 1990 with a Diploma in Reflexology. This did not satisfy her thirst for knowledge and she became interested in Nutrition before discovering Kinesiology! This became a passion and it was not long before she opened a ‘clinic’ and started to see clients daily, whilst participating in every Kinesiology course that became available! In 1993 she became a Touch For Health Instructor, and is still registered as such with the International College of Kinesiology in Australia. She also became an ICPKP Instructor and taught students wanting to follow a professional career in Kinesiology. In addition to Kinesiology, Gabby explored many different healing modalities, including massage, Aura Reading, Holographic Repatterning and many more. She is a Reiki Master and in 2000 Gabby became a Faculty Member of the International College of Professional Kinesiology Practice (ICPKP) in St. Heliers, New Zealand. A few years later Gabby started the S.A. Kinesiology Practitioner College in Johannesburg. Currently she is the Gauteng Examiner for Touch For Health Proficiency and a Registered Kinesiology Instructor in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.
Gabby’s life changed dramatically when she followed the urge to work with prisoners and in 2006 started a Stress Management/Rehabilitation Programme at Leeuwkop Maximum Security Prison, teaching Kinesiology and Life Skills to inmates. She was nominated for the Woman Of The Year Competition, for her prison work. In November 2009 her book “Healing In A Maximum Security Prison – A Life Skills and Kinesiology Handbook” was published. The aim is to make this book available to every inmate in South Africa and if possible, globally. Gabby continues to teach at Leeuwkop Prison.
