What is BodyTalk?

Ok, you’ve heard me go on and on about BodyTalk, and maybe you’re asking yourself, what is it? Let’s go on a little journey together and let me explain to you what it is….

Bodytalk is a revolutionary healthcare system that blends modern science with wisdom from age-old healing traditions. BodyTalk is a safe, non invasive form of healthcare that relies on your body’s own healing capabilities. It was developed by Dr John Veltheim in the 1990’s, a Chiropractor, Acupuncturist & Diagnostician who combined the wisdom of Eastern and Western medicine to create this system, after many years of practice and personal application. You can click here, to visit the IBA’s website and learn even more about its history. When I found BodyTalk (check out that super fun story in my previous blog post!) I was thrilled, because I’ve always felt drawn to eastern medicine philosophy, and I also love to figure out the science of why things work. In fact, when I was a child, I had my own “work bench” in my Dads shop where I would take things apart, figure out how they worked, and put them back together! If you’re reading this blog, you’re probably a curious soul, like me!

Now the first thing I want to address is the approach our modern medical system takes, and why it’s not working for us. Our modern medical system is based in what we call a Cartesian model of medicine. According to this Cartesian model of medicine, if something is complex, we take it apart, figure out how every individual piece works and “fix it” with drugs, surgery, or physical manipulation. We then put it back together, and assume everything will be a-ok. Sort of like taking apart a watch to repair it. This is why we have so many different types of specialists. Now the problem with this, is that we are not robots. If we were robots, this structure would work beautifully. However, the unseen parts of what make us unique, are left out of the equation.

I want to make it very clear that I do value modern medicine and all it has offer us, especially emergency care. However, I like to use a more holistic approach for my preventative health. I believe there is great value in a combined approach, which is why I love Bodytalk. It’s an excellent compliment to whatever else you’re already doing to support yourself. It’s non-invasive, and totally safe to receive while taking medication and undergoing any other treatments recommended by your physician.

Ok, now let’s get into the basis of the BodyTalk System. BodyTalk takes a whole person approach, rather than solely focusing on a single symptom, and aiming to band-aid that symptom, or simply “fix that part”. As practitioners, we look at physical, emotional, energetic, and environmental factors that could be contributing to overall dis-ease. What made that part break to begin with? The science behind this is called the Dynamic Systems Model, and its based in Quantum Physics. According to this model, each cell, organ, and system of the body rely on each-other for their own individual functioning. So basically, we look at the body not as a bunch of separate parts, but rather, a bunch of parts that rely on each other to make up the whole person. Sometimes, there’s a disconnect between them, and thats what we are addressing in a session.

BodyTalk sessions are tailored to the individual needs of each client. We understand that no two people will heal the same way. We are dynamic and unique individuals, each with different histories and stories to tell, all of which contribute to our overall health. This is why the practitioner acts as a facilitator, guiding the clients innate healing process, rather than imposing the same treatments for each person.

Your body speaks, and has a story to tell, are you willing to listen? 

BodyTalk recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. It understands that physical ailments are often connected to emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances. This is a revolution in whole-istic healthcare. It is NOT attached to any particular religion or dogma, and is safe and suitable for anyone no matter their beliefs, gender, age, or condition. During a BodyTalk Session, I will use neuromuscular biofeedback (muscle checking) to determine which factors could be contributing to your current symptoms. Once we gather this information, we apply very simple, gentle, and non-invasive techniques to initiate the body's own healing response. Yes, it’s that easy. BodyTalk provides proven results based in cutting edge concepts of modern energy medicine. Its benefits include safety, simplicity, and immediacy.

BodyTalk is effective for things like:

Chronic Pain, fatigue, digestive disorders, insomnia, hormonal imbalance, emotional distress, anxiety & depression, blood pressure imbalance, blood sugar imbalance, lyme & its co-infections, skin conditions, parasites, auto-immune conditions & so much more!

Clients see long-lasting ongoing improvements with their health, rather than short term relief from symptoms. 

Even if you are not one who struggles with chronic illness, but you just want more balance in your everyday life, more stress resilience, or assistance processing normal human challenges and life lessons that we all go through, BodyTalk is for you! One of the beautiful things about this work is that it increases your self-awareness, confirms what you already know intuitively, empowers you to take your health into your own hands, and gives you the tools to do so. Now, more than ever, is the time to be your own doctor. BodyTalk is an excellent tool to build confidence in your bodies own healing abilities. We hear the phrase “you body can heal itself” thrown around quite a bit these days, with alternative therapies on the rise. If you want to experience that in your own life, and know it to be true on a very deep level, then you’re in the right place.

I hope this gives you an idea of what BodyTalk actually is, I know it’s a lot to take in, and understand. It’s different than what we’ve been conditioned to believe about healthcare, and how the body works. It took me a couple of years to really integrate this information and be able to share it with you in a constructive way. With that being said, don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any other questions, or book a free Q&A call with me to chat.
