In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.
– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Noble Prize winner in Medicine
Developed out of personal necessity in the 1990’s by Dr. John Veltheim, the BodyTalk system combines the knowledge of Western medical experiences, acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, applied kinesiology, and modern physics and scientific insights. BodyTalk allows the body’s energy systems to come into balance and vitality again.
The BodyTalk System seeks to address the “whole person.” This means that no aspect of the human psyche can be overlooked, be it emotional, physical or environmental.
“Based on the principle that our bodies have innate ability to heal themselves, a session will realign the energetic systems so that healing happens naturally.”
What can BodyTalk treat?
Maina has experience with clients who exhibit a range of symptoms, ranging from muscular injury, allergies, and the common cold, to PTSD, anxiety, emotional blockages, sleeping disorders, chronic pain, spiritual crisis and emotional stress. Many times
Maina integrates BodyTalk into other sessions, such as massage, to provide both a relaxing and deeply healing experience for the client.
What is a BodyTalk session like?
When you book your session you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your treatment goals with Maina. A session takes place on a massage table, with background music, and a lavender eye pillow for you to feel completely relaxed.
Relaxing and non-invasive, BodyTalk allows the client to lay in a comfortable and quiet space while the practitioner establishes a Yes/No protocol using your arm’s response. During your session, Maina will use your arm to establish Yes/No communication (known as neuromuscular biofeedback). She’ll follow a protocol and procedure chart to determine what the priority is for your body to begin healing itself. BodyTalk consists of lightly tapping on the head (brain) to “fix” the problem and lightly tapping on the sternum (heart) to store this information.
