  • BodyTalk and High School Football by Laura Mitchell, CBP, Malibu, CA, USA

    When a High School Football Coach recognizes the value of BodyTalk, everyone's a winner! I've been visiting a local high school in Los Angeles recently to attend to football players' aches, pains, and injuries. The football coach has allowed me to work on the players so that I can begin to build a practice working with teams. The head coach allowed Lauren Brim and me to teach cortices and tell the team about BodyTalk.

  • Healing with Nature by Monique Fay

    "Opening The Book of Fay is like opening the gate to a garden I have never seen before but finding it strangely familiar. Spending time there allows me to see the landscape of my life in a different way." Claire Parent

  • Top Down and Bottom Up by Monique Fay

    Growing up I was curious to know if people down under in Australia saw the world the same way we did. I would stand on my head to see what the world looked like upside down. The eyes do not "See". They collect information ...

  • Monique Fay's Biography by Monique Fay

    I would like to briefly introduce myself to give you an idea of what brings me to step forward at the request of John and Esther Veltheim to teach a course on healing with the power of the elements using nature photography as portals for a deep personal process of transformation.

  • The Sense of Sight by Esther Veltheim

    If you do have a meditation practice, then you already know the benefits of regularly quieting the mind and turning within. But for most of us westerners, classic meditation is something that does not seem to come easily. Whether you meditate already or not, the beauty of working with The Book of Fay is that it makes meditation something very natural to the mind.

  • Tap, Tap, Tap too much? by John Veltheim

    There have been stories on the forums about students having adverse reactions to tapping the cortices too much. Or, some react simply from "too much" tapping in any technique.

  • My Deepening Understanding of Life Through BodyTalk by Debbie Moran, BAT, LMT, RMT, CBP, CBI, Par.BP, CBI, BAT, CBP, Parama BP

    I have recently come to a new revelation. What I have noticed is the connectedness of everything. What I have known for some time now is that there are no coincidences and that everything happens for a reason; yet that realization has shifted and somehow deepened within my soul and within the cells of my body.

  • Balancing the Brain with BodyTalk by Karen Atkins, LMT, AdvCBI, AdvCBP, PaRama BP

    One of the biggest issues with children today is that their brains are being severely compromised by the myriad of stresses that are bombarding them. Since the brain is the CEO of the body, it has to be in charge of all the activities in the body.

  • BodyTalk Tapping by Tim Hall, LMT, CPT, RYT, CBP, Parama BP

    "Is the tapping what causes the shift?" I'm sure someone has asked you that or chuckled when they saw you tap. The BodyTalk System is a modality that is not easy to categorize. BodyTalk was not developed as an offshoot or revision or even growth of something else. It took a quantum leap, which does not lend itself easily to comparisons. Reducing BodyTalk to simply a tapping modality is a misunderstanding of the depth of the practice.

  • Anja Sebasio (née Veltheim) by Anja Sebasio, CBP, BEd, B.S., IBA Curriculum Co-Ordinator

    It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the newest member of the IBA Australasia team. Although I am a new employee, I am not in any way new to BodyTalk; being John Velthieim's (BodyTalk's founder) daughter and Christopher Veltheim's (CMO) older sister. I grew up in Brisbane, Australia, spending most of my childhood playing sport, never focusing on any one in particular. Instead, I preferred playing at least three different sports at any given time of the year. Living 200 yards away from a sports complex allowed my love of sport to thrive.
