How it Works: Sessions at a Distance
What is a Distance BodyTalk Session?
A distance BodyTalk session is basically the same as an in person session. Instead of the session being done in person, however, it’s facilitated from a distance via the video conference service Zoom. I also can make an audio recording for you to listen to at your leisure.
What does a Distance BodyTalk Session Look Like? What Happens?
It's pretty much the same as an in-person session, if you have had one of those. I begin by asking about your health & wellness history either in a written format or verbally. I also ask what your primary concerns are & will help you to clarify what the optimal outcome of your session(s) might look like.
When it’s time to receive your session, you can sit or lie down. Listen to your session on speaker or with earbuds/headphones on. Close your eyes & relax.
There isn’t a lot for you to do during your session -- that's my job! But, I do try to engage you as much as possible so plan on doing some tapping on your head, breast bone & belly. That helps to reinforce the subtle energetic tapping I am doing from a distance. I'm also likely to ask you to participate by contacting areas of your body that have come up as the session unfolds.
I have years of practice in intuitive connection, and lots of training, including a class offered by the International BodyTalk Association called MindScape. It and other trainings I've attended teach skills for enhancing creative outside-the-box thinking, improving mental focus & strengthening intuition - all of which are essential to facilitating distance BodyTalk sessions.
Just as during an in-person appointment, I'll “ask” your body which areas are a priority to be addressed & which techniques are best to do that

How Does a Distance Session Work?
It's a mystery :) But seriously, nobody really knows. One reason science has had difficulty proving the efficacy of distance healing using BodyTalk or other modalities is because they operate outside the realm of classical physics, using concepts from modern physics such as quantum entanglement and the idea that consciousness is the substrate of all things. These phenomenon which defy the limitations of time & space have been replicated time & again in laboratory studies. And they are so puzzling that even scientists have a difficult time explaining what they see happening with their own eyes.
Don't worry. You don't need to understand physics in order to benefit from a session. My own understanding is incomplete. To provide a simple explanation, we could say that everything is energy. And in BodyTalk we’d say everything is consciousness. When you deconstruct anything physical, you end up with molecules, atoms, subatomic particles & ultimately, frequencies of energy. Every thing & every person has a unique frequency the same as every radio or television station has its own unique frequency. Using my intuitive skills & training, I “tune in” to your unique energy frequency, accessing the information necessary to conduct your BodyTalk session & facilitate healing.
In a sense this is no different to sending an email or making a phone call. You have an email & phone number which are specific to you. And anyone with that information can contact you from anywhere on the planet as long as they have that information and the skills & technology to do so. In the case of distance BodyTalk sessions, the skills & technology are structured intuition, and experience & expertise with the BodyTalk system protocol & procedures.

Are Distance Sessions Effective?
Yes. Both clinical experience & client feedback have shown that distance BodyTalk sessions can be just as effective as sessions done in person. In addition, a peer-reviewed research study focusing specifically on distance BodyTalk sessions was published in the Journal of Pain Management demonstrating the effectiveness of distance BodyTalk in helping people suffering from chronic pain, depression & anxiety. And Certified BodyTalk Practitioners & their clients have observed noticeable improvements in all aspects of health - physical, mental, emotional & spiritual - using distance BodyTalk sessions.

Do You Need to Believe in BodyTalk or Distance Sessions for them to Work?
Nope. But, believing in them & keeping an open mind definitely helps. Think of your mind as a receiving station for information. If your mind is closed, resistant or highly doubtful, it will be less receptive to the energy of the session. But if you keep an open mind & acknowledge that anything is possible - because after all, we’re constantly discovering, evolving & revising our understanding of how the world works - then your mind will be more receptive to the session and therefore more likely to experience benefits.
