Toothache
Quick update ... I've had virtually NO tooth pain. It is just amazing. I wish I would have thought of BodyTalk before spending $220 at the dentist for a mouth stint. I should know ... try BodyTalk first!
Heartache
I'm a 51-year-old man who just went through the difficult trial of a break-up with my soul mate. I have gone through painful times and sheer sadness. I did not know how to deal with this break-up. I kept feeling a physical pain in my chest, like a pointed object was pushed against the heart wall, heartbeat after heartbeat, day after day. I had trouble sleeping and eating. I could not stop thinking about her. I had dark, desperate thoughts on my own existence.
I turned toTone-Lise for help and she proposed a session via Skype. Tone-Lise called it an "EFT/BT combo" (Emotional Freedom Technique/BodyTalk). I trust Tone-Lise entirely. This session was not like any doctor visit I've ever experienced. I have to say I felt foolish most of the time; she was asking of me things I do not understand. Trusting her was ever more important. Despair made me do things way outside my comfort zone. We worked together on some other negative episodes of my life. Tone-Lise was tuning in to something completely mysterious to me to get to those episodes and make sure they were the proper ones to address.
She had me do strange tapping on some points of my body while phrasing around those episodes and around the woman I love. Tone-Lise had me reassess my distress level and moved to another episode when she was satisfied with the result.
The whole session lasted for 1 hour.
I've been amazed at the outcome. The first thing is the heartbeat ache, that physical pain, is gone. Sometimes, it reappears for a few seconds, then goes away again. My life is bearable. I still think about my lost love very often, but somehow, those thoughts don't have the same intensity, the same pain. I manage much better. I feel more at peace, more serene. I can enjoy my children again. I am grateful to Tone-Lise. I am humbled by something way beyond my comprehension. My deepest thanks to her.
Candida
I have had a problem with candida for most of my life, starting when I was a child. By the time I was 18, I had fungus under my nails, and numerous other symptoms. I have tried candida diets, health foods, herbal yeast fighters, medication - just about anything on the market. After 50+ years, I had nearly given up hope. After an introduction to BodyTalk, I realized that this might be something I could try.
After the first session, I realized that my nails were changing - not necessarily being cured, but changing shape for the better. What I discovered in the first few sessions was that both physical and emotional blockages were preventing any healing from occurring. There were old thought patterns and beliefs that also were hindering progress. As time went on, there was one session that verified that my body was now ready to try the 5-week candida diet, which I am just now completing. This has been the most comprehensive and rigorous diet I have ever been on, but also one which is making a difference. I have lost 10 - 12 pounds without trying. I feel better, have better digestion, less bloating and water retention, and a clearer mind, and I am hopeful that the healing will eventually reach my fingernails.
However, that is not my main focus now. It has finally eliminated some of the overpowering cravings for sweets and breads - sure-fire candida growers, and has made some lasting changes that I will incorporate into my diet. One of my goals is to make ice cream (I can't live without ice cream!) out of goat milk and stevia! If nothing else, perhaps it can be a smoothie! One of the most important changes from BodyTalk has been that I am more at ease with myself and not so impatient with the healing process. I trust that what needs to change in my body, mind and spirit, will change when the time is right. One session that was particularly memorable, was when I was experiencing pretty difficult die-off symptoms, to the point where I couldn't eat because I felt so awful. After that session, I went home and enjoyed lunch! Thank you, Tone-Lise!
Anxiety
I was dreading my yearly job review which was just a few days away, when Tone-Lise suggested a Performance Agenda. She explained it would be a way to address this stressor by doing a time-released BodyTalk session. The balancing would go into effect just prior to the meeting. My reviews have caused me a lot of anxiety over the years, as I have felt so attacked. The feeling almost forced me to quit my job because I didn't know how to deal with it and had fears of not being appreciated. It affected me for the entire year as I was just waiting for my next review and worrying about how I would deal with it.
This time it was as if there were no concerns in the world, no rapid heartbeat, no anxiety, no feeling of wanting to fight for my rights...it was so smooth I hardly knew what happened! WOW. Amazing!
Digestive issues
Thanks for the help you've given me through BodyTalk. My stomach problem is virtually non-existent, I don't feel so overwhelmed with daily tasks, and the pain in my shoulders has improved.
Dog - bladder issues
We've had a problem with our Springer Spaniel going to the bathroom in her portable kennel as well as not being able to hold her bladder in the house since she was a pup. She is now 8 years old. Needless to say, she was not very welcome in the house as she couldn't be trusted and then constantly needed to be bathed in order for her to be in the house at all.
I visited with Tone Lise about the problem and she agreed to do a session with Chili. I chose to have the session done remotely. She did a session on March 8th. That first night Chili had an accident in her kennel, but ever since has been accident free, both in the house and in her kennel. For her to go this long with no accidents is amazing! I do Cortices, a BodyTalk brain balancing technique, on Chili every other day. At first she didn't like it, but now enjoys the touch and attention.
This has been a blessing to us as well as to Chili as we enjoy having her in the house with us being an "enjoyable" member of the family.
Stress
At the age of seven months my son started to breath-hold when frustrated or hurt. That winter he had the flu which worsened the episodes and he actually induced a mild seizure—and he's not epileptic! At 1-1/2 years old, the intensity was still more than this mommy could handle. I felt I was breath holding with him!
Scheduled an appointment with a neurologist who suggested a sleep study to rule out abnormal brain activity. Before doing that we tried a BodyTalk session with Tone-Lise. After one session, the intensity and frequency lessened by at least 70%! Thank you Tone-Lise!
No neurologist, sleep study, or meds!

Behavior
Thanks so much Bel. I'm not sure what you did, but it's like we have a different girl!! I appreciate you so much!!
Anxiety, wellness
At first, I thought BodyTalk sounded like a far-fetched, too-good-to-be-true treatment method, but having known Tone-Lise for more than 20 years and knowing how intelligent and grounded she is, I trusted her. The more I learned about BodyTalk, the more sense it made and the more I believed in it. I received several treatments from both Tone-Lise and Bel for a variety of issues and, within a couple of months, I started to feel better physically and emotionally. But it was when facing an unexpected surgery with possible serious results that BodyTalk helped me the most. I believe it was BodyTalk that gave me total peace in the weeks leading up to the surgery, and BodyTalk that helped the surgery go so much better than expected, with all good results. Within a few weeks after the surgery, I was feeling better than I have in several years. It's no coincidence to me that the series of events leading up to my good health today is due in large part to the BodyTalk sessions with Tone-Lise and Bel.
Wellness
BodyTalk has restored a balance between my mind, body and spirit. Many of my imbalances have been corrected (and this has been proven by lab work, x-rays and scans that show no more evidence of symptoms) with no medical intervention, treatment or prescription drugs. My doctors were surprised and baffled and could offer no explanation. The evidence was there BEFORE BodyTalk. God designed our bodies to heal themselves, and working with Bel through BodyTalk is a tool that facilitates healing by restoring body/mind communication at the cellular level. It is amazing, and it works!!!
Migraines, pain, musculoskeletal, energy, immune system, digestion, allergies, stress, emotions, wellness
I've been truly blessed with
an incredible journey of healing and wellness that began three years ago,
when at the age of only 34, my health was a mess. Despite a myriad of medications,
I wasn't getting any better. I knew there had to be a better way.
I was introduced to the
BodyTalk system by a chiropractor who integrated it into my treatment plan.
I must admit that at first, I was a little unsure, but I was intrigued.
BodyTalk was totally different than anything else I'd tried, so I gave it
a chance. After only 1 or 2 sessions, I was already feeling renewed and
energized, and for the first time ever, I actually looked forward to my
appointments.
Over the last three years,
I've had amazing results. BodyTalk has been life-changing for me -- physically,
emotionally, and spiritually. BodyTalk has been an important element of
my journey of health, and along with the other aspects of my treatment,
I’ve had significant improvements in all the following areas: fewer
migraines, decrease in pain, increase in musculoskeletal health, increase
in energy levels, improved immune system, improved digestion, improvements
in my sinuses, asthma improved, better able to handle stress, overcoming
emotional blocks, and more overall peace and joy in all aspects of my life.
As my health has improved, I’ve even been able to stop taking many
of my previous medications.
What appeals to me most
about the BodyTalk system is that it's an entire mind-body-spirit approach.
It allows the innate wisdom of the body to restore balance and to heal itself.
I love that BodyTalk allows my entire body to restore, balance, and heal
naturally as a "whole.” I like that BodyTalk can be used in conjunction
with other areas of care and treatment, so it can all work together.
I've been truly blessed
and grateful for my experiences with the BodyTalk system, and Tone-Lise
and Bel have been terrific. I hope that you may find exciting new blessings
and hope from BodyTalk, too.
General
In my extensive experience with BodyTalk, I've found that it is an amazingly effective healing modality. I have been to over 2,500 hours of seminars on how to help people heal, and BodyTalk is by far one of the best systems ever. I recommend BodyTalk to anyone who wants healing, as I've seen results in my practice, on myself, family and friends. It works.
Distance Sessions
Infant wellness
When my son, Triton, was
8 months old he started refusing to eat baby food and was barely eating
any formula. This was a concern because he'd always been a pretty good eater.
In addition to that he was waking 4 - 5 times a night when he'd been sleeping
well throughout the night previously. I didn't want to take him to the Dr.
so I thought I'd try BodyTalk. I had done BodyTalk throughout my pregnancy
and I had taken Triton once about a month after he was born. I was a bit
hesitant because at 8 months old, he was so active there was no way he was
going to sit through a session. I talked to Tone-Lise and she told me to
consider a distance session. While I believe 100% in BodyTalk and had seen
what it could do for me, I was a bit hesitant about doing it from a distance
but I figured it was worth a try.
We set up the appointment
and Tone-Lise called me one evening when I was at home with Triton. I put
her on speaker phone and Triton continued to play while she did the session.
I was amazed that it was no different than her being right in the same room
as us. That night after the session he ate 15 o.z of formula between 7:30
pm and 3:30 am. He was barely eating that amount during the entire day for
the last week or so. Then the next day he actually ate some baby food (which
he'd been refusing to do the last week or so). His sleeping started to improve
as well.
My son is now 9 1/2 months
old and continues to eat well, sleep well and be a happy healthy boy since
that one session. In the future if Triton has any signs of health concerns
I plan to take him to Tone-Lise for BodyTalk. Our bodies are amazing, even
as children, and can heal themselves if given the chance. Triton has only
been to the Dr. for his well-baby checks since being born, and I do attribute
part of that to his BodyTalk sessions.
Dog bladder issues
When my dog, Sierra, became
approximately 4 months old, she completely lost all bladder control. In
the morning I could not speak to her, look at her or touch her or she would
immediately empty her bladder. Twice, she released the urine when I was
holding her on the street, soaking my clothes completely. Up until this
time she had been housebroken and was doing well. She gradually improved
some, but this problem made it almost impossible to have company over and
totally impossible to take her to visit anyone or to stay away from home.
Everything I tried resulted in little or no improvement. In Sept. 2010 I
contacted Tone-Lise about a BodyTalk session for Sierra as well as one
on me. A close friend of mine had received distance sessions from Tone-Lise
and I felt intuitively that she was the one to work on us, even though I’d
never met her.
For each of the three distance
sessions I was amazed at the difference in Sierra. After each session, for
the first time in her life, Sierra climbed into her crate and went to sleep.
Even as a puppy, she never surrendered to sleep until bedtime and only then
behind the latched gate on her crate. With each session, she crawled into
her crate and went to sleep earlier than after the session before. During
the sessions Tone-Lise brought up things about Sierra that she could not
know or guess. The same happened with my sessions.
Our sessions were very closely
intertwined, and I found many of the issues with Sierra were a result of
her picking up on issues I was working through. For us, having joint sessions
was the right way to address the issues, as we commonly were mirroring back
and forth to each other.
Today Sierra is much more
relaxed and rarely has an accident. We can now visit others, have company
in, and stay at a hotel without fear of creating a mess. But more importantly,
we resolved the issues (problems) that were creating the bladder issues
(symptoms). This improvement in both of us has given us a new freedom and
the ability to enjoy life.
Chronic pain, wellness
I met Tone-Lise at an unrelated workshop a few years ago, and as the weekend progressed and we got to know each other, I became intrigued by BodyTalk. Since I'm a Chiropractor, we traded care. At that time I really didn't have a chief complaint, but had attributed every minor health issue to getting older. I thought the BodyTalk session was interesting and didn't give it much more thought. At some point a month or two later, I realized that most of my 'normal' aches and pains were essentially gone and my energy level was way up! Since I hadn't changed anything else in my lifestyle, I feel it was the BodyTalk that made the difference. I have since had Tone-Lise do periodic distance sessions for me (she's welcome to make a house call anytime she'd like) and my family and I are grateful for the restored sense of well-being that always follows.
Wellness, skeletal
I have been having distance BodyTalk sessions with Tone-Lise for a few months now and have noticed great improvements with many things. In general I feel more balanced, and a lot of small nagging issues have cleared up. One very notable thing about my treatment is the session in which she found and corrected a problem with my right foot. I have had trouble with it for years when the bones of the foot get stuck and often it would hurt to walk. I haven't had trouble with it since! I highly recommend Tone-Lise and I know that my family and I will continue to have sessions.
