“We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival”
Winston Churchill
BodyTalk helped me through the worst time in my life. My husband was shot to death. I found him and tried to revive him as I waited for the ambulance to arrive.
My diagnosis is severe depression and PTSD. Psychologist after psychologist couldn’t help me. I was finally referred to a BodyTalk practitioner by my GP and only then did the true healing start. Due to the traumatic loss and the losses following that, I was not only emotionally devastated, but physically as well. BodyTalk helped me start the healing process of my body and mind. It’s a work in progress, but without BodyTalk I wouldn’t be where I am today.
During 2023, I started exploring energy healing as a new career path. My BodyTalk practioner, Lucua, became my mentor on this extraordinary path. I first completed Reiki to Master level and then moved on to BodyTalk Access and Fundamentals. I completed my Fundamentals course and got certified in October of 2023.
My background is in the academic and business fields. I studied at the University of Pretoria for a BA degree, after which I furthered my studies in Graphic and Web Design, Web Development and finally some Programming Languages. My career started as Student Assistant at the University of Pretoria and left their employment after 10 years as a Senior Programmer and Analyst. I relocated to a small rural town in Mpumalanga before my wedding. I started a whole new career path. I was manager, HR and stock controller all rolled into one. In 2017 my husband and myself brought the business and built it into a million Rand a month concern. During COVID I took secondary employment as a Designer for a Cabinetry Firm. Furthermore we sold the business in 2021, but continued to manage the grocery/convenience store for the new owner .
My unique experiences and background gives me a different approach to life and to helping people heal themselves. BodyTalk is not only a career to me, but also a calling. Life threw me hard punches, but I survived and through my survival I found a new depth of empathy with humankind.
