I went to my first session with Mainá in a particularly complicated time in my life, unsure of what Body Talk was, but trusting the recommendation of my best friend. To be honest up until this day I'm still not 100% sure on WHAT it is and how it works, but I know this much: it works wonders. After my very first session I decided to take the Body Talk Access Course, so impressed I was with the technique and I am still planning on taking other courses on it whenever possible.
I've had respiratory allergies for years and they became much worse whenever I am in direct contact with dogs or in very emotional situations. Being exposed to both at the time, I had been unable to breath properly- and hence, sleep - for nearly a month then, pills couldn't help much either. I could hardly believe when in the first 10 minutes of my first session, there I was, breathing freely and so I remained for a long long time, able to properly cuddle dogs (that I love!!) for the first time in many many years with no signs at all of allergic reactions.
I think that illustrates well the practical capabilities of the technique but that's just one of many benefits Mainá and Body Talk brought to my life. It helped bringing both awareness and healing of past traumas, stress, etc. Mainá over and over identified and treated whatever it was that my body was communicating to her at that moment in both physical and emotional levels and we've had some very cathartic sessions as well as some very mellow, relaxing ones. Her combined Body Talk and Holistic Massage sessions are indescribably amazing!! She works every last bit of you.
Separated by an ocean now, we've been doing distant sessions whenever possible and the last time I've had the pleasure of meeting her in person I could not believe she had even further developed her healing abilities! It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait to have that opportunity again! She's a complete sweetheart but such a strong woman as well. I miss her loads, both as a therapist and as the amazing person she is.
