Walk through a session with Andrea Carter

1.When you arrive at the clinic you will be expected to fill out an intake form, or you can download that form here, and bring it with you.  If you need to fill out the form, please arrive at the clinic 15 minutes early to do so.

2. Once we’ve reviewed the intake form together, you will remove your shoes and coat and lie face up on a massage table.  You will then be asked to take some deep breaths in, and relax.  For the next 45 minutes to an hour you will relax and enjoy the peaceful experience of a BodyTalk session

3. During a session we use your hand or your arm to do the biofeedback testing, which is a simple heavy or light feeling.  May alternative therapists use biofeedback testing to determine if you should have certain herbs/remedies/foods.  BodyTalk uses the biofeedback to maneuver through a protocol chart.  While going through this chart, you will feel your hand or arm moving up or down, you will feel it is either weightless or heavy.

By using this biofeedback and the protocol chart we are building equations that your body wants to be highlighted so that it can begin to communicate and function again.  While building these equations, we are normally rather quite as we are concentrating on maneuvering through the chart.  Once we’ve gathered all of the information for the equation we will then explain to you what has come up.  You will then need to hold the corresponding areas of the body that came up in the equation.  For instance if we are working on your heart, and your heart comes up in the equation, you may need to hold the heart.  Once we’ve determined which areas will be held, we then tap on the head first and then tap on the heart.  We tap on the head to tell the brain to fix the problem, and we tap on the heart to tell the heart to circulate the changes in the body.  We will repeat this a number of times during the session, until your body tells us that your session is finished.  Your body will tell us when you’re finished by the protocol, as there is a series of questions we ask to maneuver through the protocol.  When we can no longer build any more equations your body has finished what it needs to do for that session.

Generally speaking most people come in for something specific, whether that is a certain condition physically or mentally.  The number of sessions will be determined by your body, and the next session date will also be determined by the protocol.  Sometimes you’ll need a month in between sessions, sometimes a few weeks.  This is because the body needs some time to get things communicating.  It took us a while to get to this state, and sometimes it needs a little time to get out of it!  Lots of people after their ailment or condition has improved will continue to have BodyTalk™ sessions.  The reason is because they enjoy it.  It is very relaxing, and you’ll feel better after BodyTalk™ sessions.
