Energetic testing does not measure live organisms or nutrient levels the way lab tests do. Instead, it looks at your body’s frequency responses.

Your hair sample carries stored energetic information — like a snapshot of your body’s current state. When it is exposed to hundreds of energetic frequencies during testing, the sample will resonate with certain frequencies. These resonances highlight where there are imbalances, showing what your body is asking for support with right now.

Because energy imbalances often appear before they show up on lab tests or as obvious symptoms, bioenergetic testing can reveal hidden stress patterns and potential burdens early. This makes it a valuable preventative tool, allowing you to support your health before issues become more deeply rooted.

Your body is always communicating — through symptoms, cravings, or cycles of flare-ups. Bioenergetic testing helps translate those signals into practical guidance, giving you a clearer picture of what your body is resonating with and where to focus your support.

This is not a medical or diagnostic test, and it does not replace conventional medicine. Instead, it acts as a complementary tool alongside your own symptom patterns and awareness, helping you restore balance and maintain long-term wellbeing.

Our bioenergetic hair testing is suitable for anyone — of any age — who wants to better understand their health and wellbeing. Many families choose to test together so they can support each other’s health in a more personalised way.

It can be especially supportive if you experience things like:

• Ongoing stress, anxiety, or low mood

• Headaches or migraines

• Digestive upset or food sensitivities

• Hormonal imbalances or menstrual concerns

• Sleep difficulties or poor rest

• Low energy, fatigue, or adrenal exhaustion

• Joint or muscle discomfort (including arthritis or fibromyalgia)

• Allergies or sensitivities to foods or the environment

• A run-down immune system

• Emotional imbalance or feeling “out of sorts”

Depending on the testing option you choose, some scans look more at the physical body, while others also explore the emotional aspects of health. This allows you to select the type of testing that feels most relevant for your current needs.

At Nurture You, we believe you can achieve the best results when you’re willing to act on the information provided. This testing shows you your unique priorities — the areas of weakness or stress your body is asking for support — so you know exactly where to focus your energy to restore balance and move toward long-term wellbeing.

YES. At this stage we are currently receiving plenty of hair samples from our Australian clients. Postage between New Zealand and Australia is reliable and quick, so results won’t be delayed.

Testing is available throughout New Zealand and for our Australian friends. We are also looking at ways to make this testing technology available worldwide in the future, exploring faster and more reliable shipping options.

If you currently live outside of New Zealand or Australia but would really like Nurture You to carry out testing for you, please email us at info@nurtureyou.co.nz

We may also be able to connect you with someone in your area who offers similar testing.

Every person is unique, which is why we offer different testing options at different price points — so everyone has the opportunity to experience bioenergetic testing in a way that suits their needs.

For first-time clients, we usually recommend the Full Comprehensive Test. This is our most popular option because it looks at both the physical and emotional aspects of health. That deeper insight is important, as more and more research shows that many chronic symptoms can be linked to underlying emotional stress. This is why someone may be eating well, exercising, and “doing all the right things,” yet still not feel better — often the emotional layers haven’t been addressed, and over time those stresses can manifest as physical symptoms.

The comprehensive test dives right in, giving us a complete picture of where your body is showing stress or imbalance and helping us identify your unique priorities for support. From there, you can decide if you’d like to continue with smaller follow-up scans, or retest regularly to track your progress over time.

Turn around time is approximately 1-3 weeks from the date your sample is received.

To collect your sample, cut a small amount of hair (approximately ½ to 1 teaspoon) from the back of your head, as close to the scalp as possible. If you have dyed hair, please cut from the area where your natural color is visible this will be close to the scalp.

If you don’t have head hair, you can use body hair or nail clippings instead—clip 4-6 nails.

Place the hair or nail samples in a paper envelope. You can send both types of samples if you’d like. After purchasing your selected test, you will receive a detailed email with instructions.

Once your testing is complete, you’ll receive a personalised report showing where your body is asking for support and which areas of weakness or stress are showing as a priority.

At Nurture You, we believe the most powerful foundations for health are always food and lifestyle. In many cases, the first recommendations include:

• Dietary changes — adjusting food choices based on sensitivities or nutritional needs.

• Lifestyle support — focusing on rest, stress reduction, hydration, and daily routines that allow your body to heal.

• Supplements or natural remedies — where needed, these may include vitamins, minerals, or gentle supports such as homeopathics or flower remedies.

Alongside this, you may also receive bioenergetic drops. These are created by imprinting the balancing frequencies identified during your scan into a liquid remedy. The concept is similar to homeopathy, which uses energetic information to stimulate healing, or to Traditional Chinese Medicine, where needles are used to activate meridians and restore energy flow. In the same way, bioenergetic drops gently remind your body’s natural intelligence — often called the vital force — how to return to balance.

📌 For clients outside of New Zealand, the drops are currently unavailable. Your report will still include the balancing items and remedies your body is asking for, so you can purchase them locally and continue your healing journey with confidence.

Everyone is unique, and how often you choose to retest will depend on your goals and current health. Some people like to test once a year as a general check-in, while others choose to test three or four times a year to track progress more closely, especially if they are working through ongoing symptoms.

Healing happens in layers, and the body will only reveal what it is ready to work on at the time of testing. For some with chronic health issues, the first scan may only highlight a couple of priority areas. As the body becomes stronger and more resilient, follow-up testing often brings forward new layers to be supported.

When we retest, we look back at your original results to see which imbalances are still showing up. For example, if the adrenals appear again, this may indicate ongoing stress or adrenal burnout, pointing to the need for more targeted adrenal support. If the liver continues to show up, this may highlight the need for deeper detox protocols. Retesting also makes supplement recommendations more accurate — rather than guessing, we can see exactly what your body is asking for at that stage.

We can also run breakout scans on specific organs or systems that keep appearing. For example, an adrenal breakout scan can help uncover what is contributing to adrenal stress, while a liver breakout scan can dig deeper into what is burdening detox pathways. This makes support much more targeted and personalised, while also showing clear patterns over time.

📌 We are currently working on package deals to make retesting easier — offering three tests spread throughout the year so you can track your progress in a structured way and continue supporting your body at each stage of healing.

Parasites are actually very common, and they often show up in bioenergetic testing. It’s nothing to be alarmed about — most people will carry some level of parasites. The issue is not whether they are present, but whether the body becomes overloaded and unable to keep them in check. Parasites are commonly picked up through everyday exposure such as contaminated food, water, pets or soil.

Bioenergetic testing is not a medical diagnostic tool, so it does not provide concrete proof of parasites. What it can show is whether your hair sample resonates with the frequency of a parasite. This may reflect a past exposure or an energetic residue still impacting the body’s vital force, rather than an active infection.

If parasites do appear in your results, it doesn’t mean you “have” an infection. Instead, it suggests your body is showing a stress pattern related to that frequency. From there, we look at the bigger picture: are there signs of liver stress, digestive issues, certain nutrient deficiencies, or symptoms commonly associated with parasitic imbalance?

It’s also important to look at the terrain — in other words, why the body might be acting as a host in the first place. A stressed or weakened system is more likely to struggle with parasites than a resilient one.

The goal is always to connect the dots, rather than focusing on one result in isolation. This gives us a clearer understanding of how different stress patterns may be interacting, and where your body most needs support.

Bioenergetic hair testing looks at your body from an energetic perspective, rather than a biochemical one. Your hair or nail sample carries stored energetic information, like a snapshot of your current state. When placed on the testing plate, it is exposed to hundreds of energetic frequencies. The way your body responds shows us where there may be weakness or stress, and highlights the areas that are your priority for support.

This type of testing is non-invasive and provides insight into both the physical and (in some testing options) emotionalaspects of health. It can often reveal imbalances before they develop into noticeable physical symptoms, giving you the chance to support your body at an earlier stage.

Lab tests, on the other hand, measure specific markers in your blood, urine, or tissues to diagnose and monitor medical conditions. They provide concrete biochemical data and are essential for disease diagnosis and conventional treatment plans.

Often, people come to Nurture You after having blood tests that return as “normal,” even though they still experience unwanted symptoms. This is where bioenergetic testing can be so valuable — it looks at your energetic health and stress patterns, which may highlight imbalances not picked up through standard lab testing.

In short, lab tests tell us what’s happening in your body right now, while hair testing provides insight into your unique energetic blueprint, helping to identify what your body most needs to restore balance. Depending on where you are in your health journey, the two approaches can work well together to give a fuller picture.

No — while both use hair samples, they are very different types of testing.

Bioenergetic hair testing looks at the energy field of the body. Your hair or nail sample carries stored energetic information, which we test against hundreds of frequencies to identify patterns of weakness, stress, or imbalance. This includes minerals and heavy metals — but rather than measuring the actual levels present in the hair, the testing shows whether your sample is resonating with the frequency of a particular mineral imbalance or heavy metal exposure. In simple terms, it highlights the energetic effect these items may be having on your body, and whether they are showing as a stress pattern that needs support.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a laboratory test that measures the actual mineral and heavy metal content of the hair. It provides biochemical data about mineral ratios and toxic element exposure, which can be used to guide nutritional or medical treatment.

In short: HTMA measures the physical levels of minerals and metals in your hair, while bioenergetic testing shows whether your body is resonating with the energetic frequency of those minerals or metals, and how they may be stressing your system. Both approaches offer useful insights, but they are not the same.
