About BodyTalk

What are the benefits of BodyTalk?

Helping you feel aligned and connected, BodyTalk’s holistic and integrative approach can help improve your general health and well-being at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
Created by Dr John Veltheim, it is based on concepts and knowledge from a number of approaches including Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga and chakra energies, chiropractic, physiology and science from western medicine or quantum physics. The practitioner can blend Bodytalk with other modalities, and I often use CranioSacral therapy, reiki or reflexology during sessions.
Each session addresses the whole person and is designed to restore the body’s natural functions and delicate balance, creating the best conditions to heal and thrive.

What can BodyTalk help with?

While BodyTalk does not diagnose or treat specific conditions, some of the challenges it can support you and your family with include:

~ stress and emotionally-charged lifetime periods (maternity, move, grief, family and relationships dynamics, burn out, depression, transitions etc)
~ hormonal imbalance, painful periods, endometriosis, menopause, ovarian cysts, recurring infections
~ fertility, pregnancy and post-partum balance for mother and baby
~ auto-immune conditions, immune system support
~ gut health, allergies and intolerance, eczema and other skin issues
~ pain, fatigue, headaches, sinus issues, digestive disorders, unexplained symptoms
~ recovery from injuries, accidents, surgeries, stroke
~ family tensions and group dynamics
~ hyperactivity, learning disorders, anxiety, phobias, addictions, sleep issues, traumas...
Or just as an overall preventative healthcare, to help your body and mind function and communicate better, feel more aligned and accompany you on your self-development journey!

What to expect during a session?

Using a subtle muscle feedback technique, I will facilitate the communication with the body’s “innate intelligence” to identify which aspects of your body and mind would benefit from more attention, better communication, balancing or emotional and stress release.  Those subtle changes are suggested back to you by gentle touch on specific areas, light tapping, and breathing, empowering your body to take over and implement them.

A typical session lasts about 60 minutes, and includes a short conversation about your needs followed by a relaxing treatment, usually on a massage table, fully dressed. Children can play and move freely during the session. Sessions can be done in French or English.
Sessions by video call are also available.

Is it safe for children and during pregnancy?

BodyTalk is relaxing, non-invasive and respects the body’s own needs and priorities. This gentle approach and my training in maternity reflexology makes it a safe and ideal modality during pregnancy, for babies and children.
As BodyTalk listen to the body’s needs directly through muscle feedback, it is perfect to support babies through their early challenges such as unexplained crying, colic or ORL issues, and help them land gently into the world and their family.
Children can play freely, feed or even sleep during a session.
