What is A.R.T.?
Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) helps address chronic illness or mystery symptoms by identifying priority stressors and how to clear them. A.R.T. is a scientifically-backed biofeedback technique that identifies stressors in the body by measuring subtle changes in muscle tension. It was developed over many years by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., PhD, drawing from many modalities from kinesiology to Chinese medicine. Daniela Deiosso, MSc, Founder of the Klinghardt Institute, together with Dr. Klinghardt, further developed A.R.T. and created a world-wide practitioner training program that includes both on-line and in person training. In 2025, Daniela created an advanced practitioner group, A.R.T. Global Professional, bringing together the latest teaching and experience with A.R.T.
With A.R.T., we measure the light emissions of the body and identify areas where the light is blocked or struggling. Healthy cells emit and receive light in a polarized and coherent way so by focusing on where the light is incoherent we can identify what is needed to make the light coherent again. This helps a person heal and prevent illness. What sets this modality apart is that we can prioritize the stressors and what it will take to clear them. The testing allows us to preview what will work for a particular stressor. There is no blood test for some of the things that we test for such as a bad sleeping location (geopathic stress), electromagnetic radiation, trauma, interference from scars, tattoos, hidden dental infections or jaw stress.
A.R.T. assesses biophoton emissions in the context of "7 Factors of Wellness" and the Five Levels of Healing—physical, energy, mental, intuitive, and spiritual. We prioritize issues specific to each client. Symptoms that show up on the physical level often "flow like a fountain" down from the upper levels.
We can test for all the top chronic infections and toxins and narrow down what to focus on. Lab tests, especially for things like Lyme and the co-infections, viruses or parasites, can be costly and unreliable.
Solutions may include herbal remedies, detox, diet changes, scar deactivation, and trauma release. We confirm the effectiveness of each remedy using muscle-tension biofeedback to ensure it works synergistically for your healing.​​​​
A.R.T. also tests for trauma or unresolved emotions which is a key factor in illness. We use Mental Field Technique (MFT) and Applied Psycho Neurobiology (APN) to clear unresolved emotions and this involves a protocol of tapping and statements. The colored glasses enable us to do deeper work. We only release what the body is ready to release. We do this in a very safe and non-invasive way with tapping and statements. Unresolved emotions are like programs that run in the background and influence a person so it is good to clear them.
The Klinghardt Five Levels of Healing
Think of A.R.T. as a manual lie detector test for the body. We measure the physiological reaction of the body to various stressors using the Klinghardt Institute's Five Levels of Healing protocol.
This modality is based on principles of physics such as "direct resonance", which came out of the Manhattan Project, a US Government research and development project in the 1940s.
