Temple Square Salt Lake City

I never imagined that when I moved to New York City to become a full time writer, I would instead become a practitioner of body talk. New York City is such a dynamic place, you never really know what you’re going to end up doing if you go there with flexible plans and an open mind. It took me a while to get used to the pace of such an intense city, and it was certainly not easy staying employed and making the money I needed to survive. Like most people who become waylaid into practicing energy healing, I stumbled upon bodytalk as someone seeking healing, not someone seeking a job. From the very first time I ever attended a bodytalk session, I came away knowing that this technique would soon be a big player in the healing arts. My first bodytalk experience came at an appropriate time for me–I was obviously going through some major transitions. Three, to be exact–my move from Salt Lake City to New York City, my separation from my boyfriend of eleven years, and my search for employment. From day one, I am convinced that it was through bodytalk that I was able to assert myself when needed, calm myself when needed, and prevent physical ailments that popped up as a result of emotional and mental stress. After my first session, I began to receive bodytalk regularly. Things began to change for the better more and more as I continued with my sessions, simply because I was becoming more aware of what my body and mind needed for optimal functioning. Feeling mentally and physically fit, I was more able to adjust to my new surroundings, adapting to, and eventually embracing, the pace of big city life. Because of bodytalk, New York City was becoming the place I had always hoped it would be. When I got a job writing a series of magazine articles on bodytalk, I felt the need to do a little bit of training. I so enjoyed and benefited from the classes, I decided to take it to the next level and become fully certified…I was enraptured. It has been six years since I moved here to NYC, and four and a half years since I became a certified bodytalk practitioner. Although I practice and give instruction in bodytalk full time, I am still pursuing my writing ambitions. I write in the evenings and on the weekends–I certainly have had no trouble with writer’s block since I’ve been living in New York, and especially since I acquired my knowledge of bodytalk. To date, I have published six articles on the bodytalk system, and I even maintain an energy healing Q&A column in a popular arts and entertainment circular.
