Nela is a Certified BodyTalk practitioner.
Her personal story: As a result of a medical crisis with my son where results were not achieved through modern medicine, I set out on a mission to research and seek out what was available in alternative and complementary medicine that could possibly help.
After much searching and experiencing several modalities and avenues, BodyTalk came into my life with an energy and intensity that propelled me into quickly taking the training and setting up my own practice. Not only did it help my son physically and emotionally, but it has changed my life in a way I could never have imagined with a passion, focus and drive that I have not experienced for many years.
Additionally, it has given me tools and techniques that can be used anytime and anywhere. After taking the initial level of training (without any background whatsoever) I began to get immediate results with friends, co-workers, and clients. My clients and I were astounded with the power of BodyTalk; how it could immediately help them with their pain, injuries, stresses, emergency situations, and overall wellbeing.

Tattoo Pain: After the excitement of getting a tattoo that I had been thinking about for some time, I experienced the painful after-effects. Although I survived the 5 hours of the tattoo needle and the ink radiating through my entire rib cage, the area was extremely painful and limited my torso movements. Fortunately, that was when I was introduced to BodyTalk.
I visited Nela in the aftermath of my tattoo. She told me all about BodyTalk, and that it would be helpful. I was excited to give BodyTalk a try, anything that would alleviate the pain. After she completed the Fast Aid technique I was in complete shock. Not only was I able to move my torso without pain, but the overall pain that I had had for the previous 6 days was relieved, gone. The tattoo artist had told me the pain would be there for 2-3 weeks until the tattoo healed. The Cortises part alone was comforting and seemed to help right away. She showed me how to do the Cortises on myself and since that day I have been performing the technique whenever I get a migrane and it always helps. I find it quite comforting and relaxing and am thankful that Nela was able to show me the benefits of BodyTalk.

Knee and Hip Pain: Nela did a Fast Aid session for my knee and hip pain. It was unbelievable. Once she was done (5 minutes) things seemed to shift like the pain was moving upwards and outwards through the neck and head. The knee pain was gone and the constant pain I had in my hip for many months was completely gone.

Comment: As Arlene was moving her knees after the session, she asked “Does it work that quick?” and she literally was jogging up and down on her way out the door.

I feel lucky to be someone who is passionate about life on all levels. I have traveled and lived in several places around the world, searching within and without, learning and growing in any way that presents itself as a tool to help enhance quality of life for myself and those around me.
At the end of the day, that is what it is all about ~ quality of life. And there are many routes to access it… but it all comes down to the same one word. Connection. Whether we choose to connect through nature, silence, conversation, music, dance, spirit, or even just getting to know our own song more fully; connection and knowledge of it, is what brings life to life.
I was introduced to BodyTalk in 2006, while studying Holistic Nutrition through CSNN. A classmate of mine was involved and spoke about this integrative health modality and it piqued my interest immediately. After just one session with her, I knew I had to learn more.
Within months of my first session, I became a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner. My studies continued and still do, and I have now taken: BodyTalk Fundamentals (1&2), Principles of Consciousness (3), Bio-Dynamics (4/7), Macrocosmic BodyMind (6), and Matrix Dynamics (9). I have also studied several of the life sciences offered by the IBA including, Mindscape, Freefall, and Finding Health: Mapping the Healing Process.
BodyTalk is congruent with what I have come to know as my truth, in that each individual has the most direct way to their own health, and that often times, it is a body/mind/spirit imbalance, and needs to have the opportunity to be addressed as such. BodyTalk is a wonderful tool that allows me to be a witness/facilitator in the healing process of individuals, both in person and in distance sessions.
BodyTalk continues to enhance my understanding of health and life, and allows me an opportunity to grow in leaps and bounds in moments I am ready to.
I am honoured to share this exciting, non-invasive modality with people (and their pets) who are interested to explore it, and experience the many wonders and breakthroughs that present themselves.
