About Me
Marlene Smith
Certified BodyTalk for Animals Practitioner; Animal Communicator;
Certified BodyTalk Practitioner; Access BARS Practitioner; Reiki Practitioner
With a 37-year background in human resources management, I experienced time and again how life sapping and physically debilitating long-term performance stresses can become.
My personal experience and introduction to BodyTalk began in 2011 whilst having to find ways myself to deal with a non-stop stressful career, and it helped tremendously. But it was only when my own health issues could not be addressed by means of just conventional medicine anymore that my journey with BodyTalk started. After 16 knee surgeries, still in pain and having tried everything else, I realised that pain always acts as a messenger to show us what is not working in our bodies, and that medicine didn’t change my issues with my knees – only my perception changed, i.e. that I couldn’t feel the pain anymore. It was during this healing journey that I discovered the real value and power of BodyTalk on my whole bodymind.
The holistic approach of BodyTalk focuses on restoring balance and communication and synchronising all levels of the person – not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too, in order for our bodies to heal themselves!
In this era of “pill popping” for quick fixes, the BodyTalk healing modality is mind-blowing on so many levels, and it never ceases to amaze me as to our body’s own healing capabilities!
I am eternally grateful for stumbling upon BodyTalk, and incredibly humbled that I can now assist others in their healing process and in leading quality lives. This also made me realise that it could be just as powerful a modality for animals, who cannot speak for themselves, and led me to qualify as a certified BodyTalk for Animals Practitioner.
My passion these days is to help us humans understand our pets and their needs better and to assist them in leading longer, happier lives. I am also an animal communicator and help animals heal/rehabilitate through animal massage.
I am member of the International BodyTalk Association and the South African BodyTalk Association, I am also a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, an Access BARS Practitioner and Reiki Master. I look forward to assisting you and your furry friends on your healing journeys.
BodyTalk For Humans
BodyTalk is the Medicine of the Future
Both the human and animal’s bodymind knows best how to heal itself. But when communication breaks down inside the body due to stress, trauma, injury or illness, the body’s ability to heal becomes compromised. A symptom is the last stage of the imbalance – this means the body is calling out for help.
BodyTalk is a consciousness-based healthcare system for humans and animals based on quantum physics. It addresses the anatomy, physiology and psychology of the body, and incorporates aspects of Eastern medicine.
Instead of focusing on symptoms, BodyTalk finds the underlying root causes that are preventing healing so that the body and mind can heal themselves. Once BodyTalk has re-established better communication within the bodymind, healing happens naturally, and emotional issues resolve themselves.
BodyTalk sessions can be done in person or by distance via video call.
BodyTalk is a natural healthcare system, which is designed to work with, and support, your body’s own natural ability to repair and heal itself. Your bodymind knows best how to do this but, when communication breaks down inside the body due to stress, trauma, injury or illness, the body’s ability to heal becomes compromised. BodyTalk rebalances the body and mind so that healing can happen naturally again.
BodyTalk seeks to address the “whole person”.
This means that no aspect of the human psyche can be overlooked, be it physical, mental, emotional or environmental. Every part of the body has a certain consciousness, in other words, emotions, beliefs, memories, events, expectations, ancestral and environmental triggers, can have a profound effect on your body. BodyTalk addresses these factors too to guide your body back to complete wellness.
The Link Between Body and Mind
BodyTalk recognises the interrelation of the mind and body. It understands the powerful effect that emotions, beliefs, memories, expectations, events and environmental triggers can have on the 30 trillion cells in your body.
A BodyTalk session can help you understand why your body is experiencing disease while reprogramming it to work as it should.
Although BodyTalk addresses the physical body, it also acknowledges the profound influence that the psychology of the body has on our health.
Every part of the body has a consciousness – with specific emotions and beliefs associated with it. These underlying factors in conjunction with contributing environmental, biochemical and ancestral factors are addressed to guide your body back to wellness.
