BodyTalk

What is BodyTalk?

BodyTalk is a mind body medicine approach that integrates the principles of Western Medicine with insights from Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, quantum physics, epigenetics, and biophysics. It focuses on restoring efficient communication between your body’s systems and supporting your body’s natural healing process.

BodyTalk identifies and balances the body to factors that are affecting healthy communication within the body including environmental, mental and emotional stress factors that contribute to and perpetuate physical ailments. Extending beyond physical symptom management, BodyTalk allows for faster and longer lasting health outcomes physically, mentally and emotionally. In essence, BodyTalk is “health care designed by your body."

Benefits of BodyTalk

Holistic Improvement

Promotes enhanced overall wellbeing by integrating Western and Eastern medical approaches to obtain the best of both worlds.

Enhanced Body Awareness

Increases the awareness of your body's needs and patterns, fostering a deeper understanding of your health and wellness.

Rapid & Effective Healing

By restoring proper communication within your body, BodyTalk optimises your body’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to faster recovery from ailments.

Integrates seamlessly

BodyTalk can be used as a stand alone system to address physical, mental and emotional health or be seamlessly integrated to support another health care modality.

Who are BodyTalk sessions for & what to expect

BodyTalk sessions are designed for anyone experiencing health effects from disruptions in the body's communication systems due to environmental, mental, physical or emotional stress. This system is especially effective for conditions such as allergies, migraines, back pain, insomnia, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, arthritis, digestive disorders, and recovery from injury or trauma.

Studies have shown that BodyTalk significantly reduces pain and improves overall physical health, life satisfaction and mental health, making it a powerful tool for achieving lasting wellness.

During a BodyTalk session, Bernie will go through a set protocol to determine (via neuromuscular biofeedback) what areas of the body are not communicating effectively with each other and which area is the priority for balancing. The balancing techniques are gentle and suitable for any age and physical ability.

Can BodyTalk be integrated with other treatments?

BodyTalk is designed to complement other medical and therapeutic treatments by enhancing your body’s natural healing abilities and improving overall system communication. Its flexibility allows it to be integrated into existing healthcare plans without interfering with other treatments.

In clinical settings, BodyTalk has been effectively combined with physical therapy modalities to accelerate recovery from physical injuries. It is also used alongside psychotherapy treatments to address the physiological impacts of mental and emotional stress.

Customer testimonials

“From the outset Bernie made me feel comfortable, explained my MRI in layman’s terms, showed me pictures that I could understand, gave me workable exercises that I could do throughout the day, and did usual physio things.  We mapped a plan including exercises and adjusting sleeping patterns, and now I’m recovering at a rate quicker than we all expected.  I have found Bernie listens intently to my words, but also what I show with my face … and she responds accordingly.  I thought I was coming for just physio.  I got that, but also a holistic body/life plan change.”

Andrew F

“I have been seeing Bernie for well over 5 years now and there is nobody else I would trust my body too. The moment I walked into Bernie's treatment room I felt at ease. Bernie took the time to listen to what was going on in my body then started treatment.  Her gentle nature and her concern means she can get to what you need straight away.”

Jess B

“Working with Bernie has resulted in some very significant shifts for me. I feel more calm and grounded, more confident, and more hopeful since working with Bernie.  Others have also noticed a positive change in my energy and demeanour. I have no idea how or why Body Talk works, but it has helped me enormously, and I am happy to recommend Bernie, as a gentle and insightful practitioner."

Jacquie M

“I first booked in to Inspire Physio & Wellness for a last minute urgent physio appointment, as my Physiotherapist at the time was unavailable. It didn’t take long for me to realise Bernie is not your average Physio. Her integrative and intuitive approach to treatment means I get so much more from my sessions. 4 years later, I still see Bernie for physio when required, but personally I get even more from Body Talk, I love how BT taps in to your mind, physical body and spirit. I leave each appointment feeling more in tune with myself and often addressing things I didn’t know I needed to.”

Sophie G

“Working with Bernie has opened up my intuitive senses and helped me understand my body in a way that I never understood was possible. The insights and relief I have gained from her body talk and integrative movement sessions are unparalleled and have helped me address ongoing aches and ailments with uncanny precision. If you are looking for a body work specialist and physio to add to your health team, I would highly recommend Bernie.”

Candelle. N

“Bernie's vast experience and knowledge and her healing hands, encouragement and advice have supported me to recover and thrive. Her capacity to understand the source of any pain and then what to do to shift it constantly amazes me. Her good cheer, warmth and conversation also make my visits a social highlight of the week!”

Danielle B

“Bernie uses an intuitive approach to connecting body patterns to work out what is wrong. This approach is professional and focused and has achieved lasting results for me. By integrating Bernie’s tips and self- care strategies I have lessened frequency of visits.”

Sue C

“The stars were aligned for me the first time I went to see Bernie at Inspire Physiotherapy and Wellness. The improvement in my aches and pains - both short and long term, physical and mental - is always amazing. Visits to Bernie over the past few years have helped me navigate some life-challenges with increased calm and confidence.”

Fiona R

I've been under Bernie's care for over 11 years now, enduring a two-hour commute just to see her. The reason? Bernie's dedication to understanding me as an individual—my lifestyle, my body, and my goals—is unparalleled. Her top-notch physiotherapy service not only treats my body where it's at, but also fosters a profound self-awareness and understanding of my own physicality.

Bernie's support doesn't stop at treatment; she guides me through a continuous journey of self-care, helping me set realistic expectations for my body. As a self-professed sports addict, I rely on physical activity for my well-being, and Bernie always manages to devise exercises that allow me to stay active while healing from injuries. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Karen W

A few years back, Bernie introduced me to Body Talk, shedding light on its mechanisms and efficacy. It didn't take long for it to become an integral part of my personal wellness routine. I see it as a process that operates from the core outward, fostering a profound awareness of the body—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Its effects extend beyond mere awareness; it facilitates healing and initiates changes that are innate to the body's wisdom.

There have been instances where Bernie has raised queries and offered insights into specific scenarios and bodily functions that initially seemed puzzling, only for clarity to emerge weeks later. Body Talk is a modality that warrants more recognition and acceptance, as its transformative impact is truly life-altering.
