The BodyTalk System™ is an astonishingly simple and effective form of energy medicine that balances and synchronizes all the systems of the body - including the brain and nervous system, organs, endocrine glands, acupuncture meridians and chakras. Using only light touch and gentle tapping techniques, BodyTalk helps the innate wisdom of the body to restore balance and harmony within the bodymind, allowing the body to heal itself.

Professionals in many fields are making BodyTalk the core of their practice, including acupuncturists, chiropractors, naturopaths, massage therapists, nurses & MDs because of the great results!

No more guesswork! By consulting the innate wisdom of your client’s body using subtle biofeedback, you always address the right thing and in the right order.

— September

As an instructor, Mary brings more than 20 years of teaching experience to her BodyTalk classes. 
Students remark on her clarity of presentation, her ability to make even tough concepts easy to understand, and the amount of practical, hands-on experience they get. Consistent comments include: "Her enthusiasm for BodyTalk is contagious;" and "She makes learning fun."  One student writes, "Mary's teaching style is thorough, concise, patient, relaxed, and most importantly, fun!  She makes sure you leave the course not only understanding the underlying concepts and theory, but retaining all the information as well.  Thanks to her, I was a certified practitioner within 6 months of first taking modules 1 and 2.  Mary is by far one of the best teachers I have come across."  P.

Testimonials

Several weeks ago I attended a BodyTalk Access Class given by Melanie Palm and a guest instructor. Several others attended and I was pleased to see that I was not the only one totally "caught up" in what the instructor was teaching us... everyone else in attendance was, too! I felt more comfortable using the Body Talk method and was encouraged to use it daily. The instructing was very clear....we each had a partner to work on, and that was good. Melanie seemed to be everywhere, taking care of whatever needed to be handled for the instructor and for the members of the class. From the feed back I received after the class, everyone was excited about starting this routine in their daily lives. I would recommend this for anyone who is interested in learning about BodyTalk.

Also, I have had several sessions of Body Wisdom from Melanie. I have Arthritis in my neck and on some days it seems to bother me more than on other days. On those days Melanie would concentrate on my neck and it would always relieve the pain I was experiencing. The relaxation I felt after each treatment was always wonderful. I would very much recommend having a session with Melanie....just being with her is a calming experience.

Since I started doing my own Cortices and receiving treatments from Melanie, my fasting blood sugar levels have averaged 16 points lower than they averaged before I took the BodyTalk Access training last fall. I personally believe BodyTalk is the main reason for the lower numbers.

Knowing that I would be enrolling in a rigorous program of study, and after experiencing a sample of Body Talk techniques, I decided to sign up for the Body Talk Access class. After taking the one day BodyTalk Access seminar, I began practicing the techniques on a regular basis. I generally felt a sense of calm and centeredness after the few minutes of going through the techniques. In October, 2010, I enrolled in an intense 20-week certification course that demanded a high level of study, practicums, and challenging exams. I practiced Body Talk Access most days and I sincerely believe it helped get me through the course and keep me on track with all that was required. I'm so glad I took Body Talk Access before my coursework! Hats off to Melanie for going the distance to bring the course to Rapid City!

I have been doing Access for about three months, and it has supported me well during a difficult time with a family member's illness, and I have also received Body Talk from Melanie with amazing results. She has "known" of things from my body wisdom without my telling her. She has facilitated deep healing.
