Families Grow Together with BodyTalk
You are not a family by accident. You've probably already noticed that you and your kids share similar traits, behaviours, and emotional patterns. At times, you probably wish you didn't. Our families, the people closest to us, are the perfect people to have in our lives to help us work out the inner conflict, the heaviness, and the internal pain we carry around with us on a daily basis. That same conflict, heaviness and pain we all wish our kids never have to experience. This Spring, parents and kids can come together for a BodyTalk session so both receive the benefits of change, letting go, and personal growth. Appointments available during any regularly scheduled sessions times, including March Break: A Modern Approach Massage Therapy Clinic in New Minas on Wednesdays The Lifehouse on Fridays May be appropriate for ages 14 and under, including kids still in the womb. Please contact me for more information or with any questions. |

Family Testimonials
I've had the most excellent opportunity to work with Erica on a number of my own childhood issues/traumas, which I initially assumed were concerns of my children.
A year ago, my son (grade 6) was in near full school refusal, and desperately wanting me to home school him for the following year. It was a very stressful time of researching that option and wrap my head around if I could mentally homeschool and if he was open to me teaching him.
Thankfully I started working with Erica on trying to dig deep and figure out what was causing the school refusal. After several sessions of peeling the layers back, we discovered that the issue didn't lay with my son, it was directly linked to an issue from my own schooling I had not dealt with and had buried. It was such a huge moment of realisation for me. Even more so, when not long after that treatment (maybe a week), my son announced he'd like to continue going to school. He was calmer, less anxious and friendly.
It has been one year since that treatment, and not once has my son refused to go to school.
BodyTalk has been a HUGE help and will always be the first therapy I turn to when faced with any dilemma mentally/emotionally/spiritually or physically. If I can better myself, my kids will benefit ten fold.

My baby boy is now 4 months old and I've been getting BodyTalk sessions since he was conceived! Lately the sessions have been for both of us, and more focused on our bond and our relationship with each other. The bond between mum and baby is so unique and unlike anything I've ever experienced, you feed off of each others energy without even realising, your emotions become his emotions and they become the perfect mirror of you biggest fears and strengths.
Since having my baby I found myself surrounded by everyone saying what a "good baby" he was and how I was so lucky not to have a "difficult baby" but when I was alone with him I did find it difficult and I was getting frustrated with myself as a useless mother! In the last BodyTalk session it came up that he was having fear of self-expression because of the pigeon holing of "good baby, bad baby". Since then things have just softened, I'm no longer so worried about his behaviours being "good" or "bad" and that being a reflection of my competence as a mother, he is a baby and he's learning to express himself in the ways he feels safe. It feels like we have started to accept each other for who we are and I've found a lot of peace in that acceptance. I'm excited to continue with the sessions as he grows and I hope I can be the mindful parent both for myself and for my baby.
