BodyTalk System, a holistic therapy grounded in the belief that living organisms have the capability to heal themselves more effectively than any technology used today, combines elements of both Eastern and Western medicine to facilitate personal healing and growth. By addressing the entire person rather than one specific issue, BodyTalk provides a ‘whole-healthcare’ system that promotes emotional, physical and physiological well-being. Angie use a number of techniques, all of which are non-invasive, to help those in treatment tap into the body’s natural system of healing.

This approach, which is sometimes described as acupuncture without needles, purports to listen to the body, engage its ability to heal itself, and enhance communication between bodily systems.

Based in dynamic systems theory, BodyTalk considers emotional, physical, and environmental influences in order to address the underlying cause of conditions, and using various techniques to activate the brain, restructure the body’s energetic patterns, and promote healing from within.

The approach is based on the following principles:

• The body can heal itself: BodyTalk utilizes what is known as the ‘innate wisdom’ of the body to heal itself in order to recover from any and all types of injury.

• Stress impacts overall health: Every experience a person goes through contributes to that person’s state of health. Lifestyle, genetics, history, and environment all impact the body’s functioning. Stresses produced by external factors can interfere with the natural communication systems within the body, often leading to emotional and physical health issues.

• The body communicates via energetic circuitry: Every aspect of our being—cells, atoms, and neurons—are in communication with each other constantly through energetic circuitry. Stress can compromise the circuitry systems (the nervous system, for example) and create chronic breakdown of communication within the “bodymind complex.” BodyTalk Practitioners strive to connect these broken lines and facilitate open communication between all of the elements of the body in order to promote healing from within.
