My First Big Awakening and BodyTalk
If you have read the About Vanessa section you will know what led me to my first experience with this Energy Medicine System called BodyTalk in March of 1997. After a series of sessions I noticed a great improvement in my energy levels and changes to my emotions. Because I had more energy, I was happier and I had a sense of peace and the inner knowing that I was going to be OKAY and be able to move forward. Now at first I did not really understand how it worked or how my body could heal itself, but I knew it was working as I was so much happier and lighter. So I decided not to analyse it, I felt great and so I trusted the process. After many sessions over time I really regained my love for life back and just kept telling all my friends about BodyTalk, I would even talk to strangers at the shops, anyone. I have always had this deeper sense of wanting all things wonderful and beautiful for my friends and family and ultimately humanity, so why not tell them about BodyTalk - it could help them too.
Becoming a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner
Then in 2001 it seemed only natural to me to do some beginner courses, not really knowing where it would lead me, and I have not looked back. With two small children and family life at the time, I found time to attend Modules 1 and 2 several times, studied, practiced on family and friends and just lived, ate and breathed BodyTalk. Then in 2003 I took my Qualification Exams and passed with flying colours.
My BodyTalk Experience & Qualifications
As one of the first 5 Certified Practitioners (CBP) in Australia, I have undertaken Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 many times over. Plus other BodyTalk accredited courses such as Mindscape, TCM - Chinese Medicine Courses designed especially for BodyTalk Practitioners ( this field is a huge favourite of mine). Book a BodyTalk
I have also had the pleasure of co-ordinating many Advanced modules for Senior Instructors, Sylvia Muiznieks and Dr Don Ka'imi Pilipovich of the International BodyTalk Association over a 5 year period in Brisbane. Working with these 2 incredible teachers and mentors has inspired me beyond words and I feel incredibly honoured to assist and work with them and continue to learn from them on my journey as a healer and practitioner. I contribute to newsletters and articles and regularly attend modules and teachings when possible to continue my further education with this system. It has taught me so much of which I am eternally grateful.
PaRama BodyTalk
I have also had the pleasure of training with the founder, Dr John Veltheim on many occasions and in 2007, I certified as a PaRama BodyTalk Practitioner, which is the beginnings of the Post Graduate Degree Level of BodyTalk. I am also a current member of the IBA – International BodyTalk Association and ABA - Australian BodyTalk Association.
