1. What is a BodyTalk session like?
-
You lie fully clothed on a massage table (or sit if preferred).
-
The practitioner uses a gentle muscle-testing technique (biofeedback) to communicate with your BodyMind.
-
Tapping on the head and heart helps restore balance.
2. Is it a massage?
-
No, BodyTalk is not a massage.
-
Sessions involve minimal touch and focus on energy balancing.
3. How long does a session last?
-
Typically one hour, including:
-
A brief discussion
-
Relaxation and the session itself
-
A post-session debrief
-
4. Is BodyTalk safe?
-
Yes, BodyTalk is a gentle and safe modality.
-
It follows your body's needs and only performs what it can process.
5. How did BodyTalk originate?
-
Created by Dr. John Veltheim, a healthcare expert with over 50 years of experience.
-
His background includes Chinese Medicine, kinesiology, psychology, osteopathy, and sports medicine.
-
He previously ran a successful acupuncture and chiropractic clinic in Australia.
6. What will I feel during a session?
-
Most people feel deep relaxation and peace.
-
Some experience sensations like warmth, tingling, or coolness.
7. What will I feel after a session?
-
Many feel lighter, more balanced, and pain relief.
-
Some may feel tired or have temporary symptom flare-ups—this is a healing response.
-
Rest and hydration help your body process the session over the next 24 hours.
8. How soon will I notice results?
-
Some feel an immediate shift, while others need time to process.
-
Results depend on your specific concerns and how long you've experienced imbalance.
9. How does my body "talk" if I’m not speaking?
-
Your body has an innate wisdom that directs functions like breathing and digestion.
-
The practitioner connects with this wisdom using muscle testing and a protocol chart.
10. How many sessions will I need?
-
Most clients benefit from 3-5 sessions over 2-3 months.
-
Progress is reevaluated after the initial sessions.
11. What is "consciousness-based therapy"?
-
Consciousness influences health—your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs impact well-being.
-
BodyTalk works with all levels of consciousness (physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual).
-
It sees the body as a whole, rather than separate parts.
12. Can BodyTalk detect illnesses?
-
No, BodyTalk is not diagnostic.
-
Practitioners do not diagnose or prescribe treatments.
-
BodyTalk complements medical care but does not replace it.
13. Is BodyTalk a spiritual healing practice?
-
No, BodyTalk is not religious.
-
However, feeling healthier can strengthen your spiritual well-being.
