BodyTalk is a gentle, whole-person approach that focuses on communication and balance within the body. Over time, stress, injury and emotional experiences can disrupt how the body’s systems work together. Using a structured process, I identify which areas are under stress or out of balance, then use light tapping on the head and chest to help your body’s systems reconnect. I often use BodyTalk alongside holistic functional medicine.

MAP stands for Make Anything Possible. It’s a guided process for identifying and releasing subconscious patterns, emotional responses and limiting beliefs that may be keeping you feeling stuck. MAP is especially helpful when the same patterns keep showing up in your life, even when you know you want something different.

BodyTalk focuses on communication and balance within your body. MAP focuses on the subconscious beliefs and emotional patterns that shape how you react and respond. For example, if you come to me with digestive concerns, we may start with holistic functional medicine and BodyTalk. If we find you’re holding stress in your body, MAP can help us work at a deeper, subconscious level.

You don’t need to decide ahead of time. During your first visit, I’ll listen to your concerns and recommend the approach, or combination, that best fits your needs.

Every session is unique. We begin with a conversation about what’s been troubling you and what you’d like to change. From there, the MAP process helps us identify subconscious beliefs or emotional responses connected to your concern and work with the patterns that come up. We finish by reflecting on the session and how it relates to your daily life. You won’t be asked to relive difficult experiences or reach a particular realization. Each session unfolds at your own pace.

Yes. Both BodyTalk and MAP can be done by Zoom or over the phone, and remote sessions work just as well as in-person ones.

Your first BodyTalk or MAP session is 1½ hours. After that, BodyTalk sessions are 30 minutes and MAP sessions are 1 hour.

It depends on you. Your body and your goals guide the process. Some concerns shift in a single session, while others take time, since the body often needs time to rebalance.

Many clients leave with a sense of calm, balance and well-being. You may notice emotions coming to the surface for a day or two afterward, and many people sleep especially well as the body processes the session.

No. You don’t need to remember or explain when something began. BodyTalk and MAP help bring forward what’s relevant without you having to identify it yourself.

Yes. BodyTalk and MAP can complement talk therapy and medical care. They aren’t a replacement for either. Many clients find that this work helps them get more out of the other support they’re receiving.

Yes, children can safely do both BodyTalk and MAP. Parents are welcome to stay in the room during the session, unless the child feels more comfortable without them. Around age 13, many kids do best with a parent waiting outside.
