Below you will find descriptions of actual patient experiences from my practice.

Abdominal Surgery

A 46 year old woman reported feeling tired, feelings of despair, emotional and low back pain that had persisted for 6 months following emergency abdominal surgery. The surgery consisted of removing 6 inches of the colon and the appendix. After one session of BodyTalk, the client reported that she no longer had back pain; her despair was lifted completely and felt emotionally balanced and calm.

Anxiety

A 54 year old woman reported feeling anxiety related to her brother and their interactions. She had been trying to discontinue the relationship for several reasons and had been unsuccessfully attempting to so for 15 years. She was utilizing Acupunture, Therapy and Medication to aid her in this pursuit. After one session of BodyTalk, the client reported a 90% lifting of the anxiety about and around her brother. She appeared more calm and relieved at the end of the session, as well as, a greater sense of neutrality.

Anxiety / Transitions

A woman came to me complaining of physical symptoms including:  stress 8.5/10 with feelings of panic, neck tension, headaches, poor digestion and poor sleep. She also noted that she was feeling vulnerable, guilty and ambiguous about her primary personal relationship and having trouble transitioning out of it. She had been struggling with all of these symptoms for five months.

She finished a series of five visits and in that time experience profound physical and emotional changes.

On the physical side of things, her stress level progressively decreased and she returned to her ability to manage stress and anxiety. Her issues of digestion, sleep, headaches and neck tension all resolved.

Other things that improved were her communication and clarity, self care routines, a general sense of well-being, energy levels and confidence.

She successfully transitioned out of her relationship and found a partner that has encouraged her full expression of herself.  

School Anxiety

A 7 year old boy was brought in by his mother because he was having trouble attending the first month of school. His mother reported that he was emotional and anxious about school. He did not want to go to school and was anxious about leaving his mother. At school the teacher reported that he was tearful most of the day and hesitated participating. He would not eat at school and would wait to do so once he was home. After one BodyTalk session, the child appeared calmer and less tense. The mother reported that the next day, he was back to his happy, carefree self. The teacher reported that he was a “completely different child”. He smiled and fully participated in all class activities.

Confidence/Life Transition

A woman in her 30’s presented with the awareness that she had a fearful nature that was getting in the way of her making decisions and going for goals and adventures that she was attracted toward. She came for a total of 7 sessions.

Sessions centered around the release of old belief systems, increased communication of body and energy systems that brought about less worry and increased decision making, a decrease of the stress reaction, and an awakening of the systems that aid in nurturing and receiving.
 
As the sessions progressed, she systematically and consistently began to make decisions and pursue her dream of traveling to a foreign country.  Her patterns around self care, self acceptance, intuition and communication began to improve

The client summarized that she “felt profoundly different, less worried, more self-confident and an increased ease in being seen by others and generally a greater sense of peace”.  She proceeded to travel internationally after the last session.

Digestion - Adult

Woman presented with chief complaints of: Digestion issues namely irregular bowel movement aided only by supplements, Frontal Headaches, Abdominal/Mid section fat and bloating and Problems staying on a no grain diet and avoiding sugar.

She had these symptoms prior to the first session for three years. She had tried acupuncture, two kinds of cleanses and desensitization before BodyTalk

Initial intake showed abdominal tenderness and coolness, increased heat in the chest and pelvic misalignment and visible abdominal fat.

Client received occasional acupuncture during the BodyTalk sessions.

Client noticed multiple changes during the series of sessions. She reported that her headaches slowly decreased and then stopped improvement in delegation and decision making, improved emotional expression and a significant decrease and eventual stopping of supplements for digestion.

Digestion - Child

A 10 month old baby was brought by his mother because he had been diagnosed with blood in his stools and chronic diarrhea. The child initially had severe stomach flu and had been to the ER twice for dehydration as a result of the flu.  During this 3 month period, he had failed to put on weight as well. The mother was looking for an alternative to the proposed colonoscopy by the doctor. The session focused on challenges to his immune system. He completed one session of BodyTalk. Upon following up with his mother weeks later, his mother reported that the diarrhea subsided and stopped following the session. The follow up visit with the child’s doctor showed that there was no more blood in his stools and therefore avoided the proposed medical procedure.

Immune System - Weak

A woman came to BodyTalk presenting with the primary complaints that she was generally not feeling well and was low on energy. She had a recent history of reoccurring urinary tract infections and had taken 4 rounds of antibiotics in the last 4 ½ months.  Generally, her immune system was weakened and she was having a hard time recovering.  She also reported problems with her stomach. Lastly, she noted that her communication could be better; she had a heightened sense of not being able to “talk on the spot” very well.

She was referred from the Acupuncturist to help aid in her recovery. She received a total of 3 BodyTalk Sessions. She received Acupuncture treatments before and during the BodyTalk sessions. She was taking supplements at the same time.

Immediately after the first session, her energy and vitality improved – she was able to walk her normal previous distances without exhaustion. As sessions progressed, she was quickly able to return to working out, walking and skiing without exhaustion. Other results included an improvement in quality and speed of communications with family members. In general, she exuded more confidence and an increased ability to communicate her ideas and feelings. Her stomach continued to improve throughout the sessions.

Increased Business Revenues

 A contractor in the building industry came in for an agenda session focused on wanting his contracting business to perform better financially. His business was at an historic low and the business financial stress was affecting his personal finances.

His attitude was good but wanted to figure out what was getting in the way of his financial goals being realized. Physically, his only symptoms was acid reflux.

He came for four BodyTalk sessions. Midway through his sessions, his acid reflux resolved. Sessions addressed self-sabotage behaviors, doubt, increasing his confidence to market himself and creating alliances that would aid in his success.

A month after his last session, he reported that business was “flying at him” and he had a backlog of 18 months work.

Increased Business Revenues

A man in his late 30’s, business consultant and coach, sought to improve his general health and increase his business revenue. He reported his stress level was interfering with his sleep, his diet was poor and his energy was low. He felt anxious, impatient and restless at times. He had also dropped his workout regimen.

After his first session, he was looking forward to the future and more confident in his business activities. Although he didn’t initially mention it, he noticed that his digestion improved. He slept better and his lucid dreaming returned. He felt more open hearted days after the session.

At his third session, he said his energy had improved substantially and he felt more motivated to embrace and pursue change. He was getting more of what he wanted due to his motivation to pursue opportunities. His business was already beginning to improve.

She had been applying moist heat at night and taking Advil for the pain.  She also came to the session with an awareness that she was confused over her career path and what she really wanted to be doing in that area of her life.

During the session, the client reported that the pain in her elbows, wrists and hands were lessening and were gone by the end of the session. In addition, she reported that as a result of the session she had gained clarity that her current job and employer were wrong for her. Some time later, she reports that she saw this session as a point of growth and great change. She began to pursue more of her true gifts and calling in the area of her career after that time.

Pain - Neck

A woman came in reporting of neck pain that had persisted for several days. She had received chiropractic care for the condition with no significant relief.  Upon examination, it was revealed that she had a moderate level decrease in her neck range of motion. 

During the session, she learned that she was holding emotional tension in her neck that was connected to the fact that she did not want to look at the situation of her daughter choosing a high school.  The client discovered that she had faced a similar situation when she was choosing a high school and had made the decision independent of her parent.
The client reported, “ the results of my own decision were great and having made that connection through BodyTalk enabled me to let my daughter make that decision of choosing what high school she wanted to go to on her own, thus freeing me from my blockage of  turning my neck and “looking” at it.”

She was grateful not only for the awareness of her emotional tension she was holding but also for the relief from the pain in her neck after the session.  Her range of motion returned to normal at the end of the session. Her pain did not return at all, even weeks later.
