Body Talk

What is Body Talk?

BodyTalk is a holistic wellness modality founded in the 1990s by John Veltheim, an Australian practitioner with a background in chiropractic and acupuncture. At its heart is the principle that the body is a finely tuned communication network - and that stress, tension, and the demands of everyday life can interfere with how well that network functions.

A BodyTalk session is quiet, gentle, and entirely non-invasive. You remain fully clothed while the practitioner uses subtle neuromuscular biofeedback - a light form of muscle response testing - to identify areas of the body-mind system that may benefit from attention. Gentle tapping over the head and sternum is then used, a technique intended to help the body register and integrate the session's focus.

Clients typically describe sessions as calming and restorative, often comparing the experience to a deep meditative state. Many seek out BodyTalk to support general wellbeing, unwind accumulated stress, or simply carve out dedicated time to reconnect with themselves.

BodyTalk is a complementary practice, designed to sit alongside - never replace - the care of your doctor or health professional. Sessions usually run 45-60 minutes, with no preparation required.

Just arrive, settle in, and let the process unfold.
