Melanie Buzek, P.T., CBP, CBI

Melanie became interested in health and the healing arts in her early twenties in an effort to overcome her own physical challenges. She graduated from University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston as a Physical Therapist in 1990 and followed her passion to continue learning about the body and all of its systems. She has an extensive background in manual and complimentary therapies including Craniosacral Therapy, Lymph Drainage, Arthropraxis Joint Mobilization, Visceral Manipulation, Muscle Energy, Strain-Counterstrain, Mechanical Link, Neural Mobilization, Facial Release, Heart Centered Therapy, Zero Balancing, Dynamic Lumbar and Cervical Stabilization, Myotherapy, Structural Integrity and Exercise Therapy, Reiki and all of the BodyTalk modules, Mindscape and Freefall.

Her teaching and lecturing history includes teaching anatomy and physiology labs, weight training and safety, a variety of physical fitness courses, body mechanics and spinal care classes, and giving fitness lectures for various corporations and organizations.

"I understood early on if the body is to be addressed for healing, it is necessary to learn as much about the many systems of the bodymind as possible. When I found BodyTalk, it gave me a way to address the body, mind and spirit in the most comprehensive and gentle way I had ever experienced. It acts as a wonderful tool to facilitate optimizing another's health, but also the health and well being of the practitioner. I have noticed more profound changes in myself with this work than with any other modality."

Elizabeth Hanson, CBP, CAI
I was born and raised in Maryland and Virginia. I attended college at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan and Colegio Adventista de Sagunto in Sagunto, Spain. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History with minors in Spanish and Secretarial Science in June of 1986. In my life I have traveled in Northern Africa, Portugal, France and Mexico and lived in Spain and Japan. I speak English, Spanish and Japanese. I have worked as a secretary, medical office manager, transcriptionist, certified nurses assistant, teacher, childbirth educator, doula, midwife and MOM. My family and I moved to North Dakota 10 years ago and really love it, winters and all! I began my BodyTalk training and practice more than two years ago and continue to go to new trainings every few months. I am proud to be the wife Scott M. Hanson, Ph.D. and mother to Esther 14, Sarah 12 and Hannah 4. I enjoy reading, embroidery, cats, cooking, working on 4-H and Girl Scout projects, being with my family and, of course, BODYTALK!
How I got into BodyTalk:
I have 3 lovely daughters who unfortunately had large numbers of food (198 for Sarah alone) and environmental allergies. Also, my two oldest were diagnosed as autistic and the youngest looked like she was going to become autistic because her speech had stopped developing. We struggled for 5 years on a very, very restrictive diet that helped to improve their health and behaviors but it was very difficult. Then we found BodyTalk! Getting rid of all those allergies and helping the body to communicate and find a better balance was PRICELESS! Now all my girls can eat whatever they want without any specialized diet! Even better is that my oldest girl Esther is no longer considered autistic. Sarah is much improved over what she was 2 years ago and continues to improve. Hannah's speech has caught up and she is continuing to develop normally and she hasn't needed an antibiotic in nearly 2 years. The miracles that BodyTalk did for my family made me a firm believer and I decided to get trained. Now I get to see what can happen in other people's lives! It is great being a BodyTalk Practitioner!

Brenda Miller

Certified BodyTalk Instructor, Certified BreakThrough Instructor

Brenda practices BodyTalk full-time in a Clinic that has several treatment rooms and a classroom for teaching BodyTalk and BreakThrough. She also travels to other destinations, so if you'd like a BodyTalk class in your area, please call or email and ask for 'Details'!

She has studied all the required Modules (1-9), PaRama Mind Crystals, Parama Unit One, BreakThrough & II, and Mindscape, and has been joyfully immersed in BodyTalk since January, 2002. While her education consists of diplomas in Business, Creative Writing and Holistic Nutrition, she feels the real business of life is to experience joy in living and eliminate pain and suffering as much as possible.

What To Expect During Your Training:

  • Ample 'hands-on' practice to ensure that you are comfortable with the techniques before you leave.
  • Extraordinary visual aids: humanly anatomy model, meet Paul and/or Susie and learn to think 3D, color-coordinated meridians & a meridian man, Simon the skeleton, laminated chakras, and much more.
  • Learn how to set up and maintain a successful and satisfying practice.
  • Learn guaranteed marketing techniques. Brenda will teach you how to put together a Case Study/History Binder that will BRING YOU CLIENTS EVERY TIME YOU SHOW IT TO SOMEONE. In addition to providing you with all the forms you'd need to start a professional practice the day after your class.
  • Think about a life-changing philosophy - one that makes living more interesting and less stressful.
  • Enjoy the services the health clinic has to offer (during lunch breaks): including complementary use of the steam room. Other spa services available, include massage (stone, therapeutic and relaxation), a sauna, salt glow, and more.
  • Participate in an unforgettable learning experience. While Brenda is serious about learning, she's also serious about having a good time while you do it.
Brenda's Personal Experience With BodyTalk:

"On my fourth session in January, 2002, I lost the two-year old, excruciating pain in my elbow. That was a Thursday; by Friday night I was in Calgary, Alberta, taking Module 1 & 2. On Tuesday I changed jobs (leaving my job of 24 years) and became a BodyTalk Practitioner. I like to think that the whirlwind that caught me, shook my life upside down, and (not too gently) landed me in this BodyTalk world where I get to see 'miracles' every day, find joy in things that had become painful, and work with the most interesting people on the planet---is exactly where I need to be. I no longer have a pituitary tumor, chronic fatigue, arthritis in my hands & feet, tennis elbow, and chronically aching muscles; all thanks to BodyTalk. I was born blind in my left eye and the sight is returning---but BodyTalk did so much more than help me see---it helped me 'see' life so differently."

Brenda teaches that anyone can learn the art and essence of healing with BodyTalk---and achieve the kinds of documented results she loves to show potential clients to give them hope and demonstrate the potential of this wonderful and scientific healing system:

  • Elimination of chronic pain anywhere in the body: back, neck, shoulder, hips, hands, carpal tunnel, knee, leg and feet;
  • An enlarged heart reduced to normal size after 7 sessions with supporting 'before BodyTalk' and 'after BodyTalk' medical records;
  • Arthritis pain gone from both hands after the 1st session with over 100 clients no longer suffering from the illness;
  • Reversing glaucoma with supporting 'before' and 'after' medical records;
  • Allergy relief;
  • After 3 miscarriages, being able to conceive and carry to full term; the clinic currently has 8 babies born to mothers who were diagnosed as unable to conceive---with more BodyTalk babies on the way!
  • Hearing developed in a deaf ear enabling the client to go from hearing nothing - to hearing a whisper at 3 feet, with supporting 'before' and 'after' medical records;
  • Balance of debilitating and dysfunctional emotional problems;
  • Distance sessions including reversing the effects: of a stroke, concussion, insomnia, arthritis, migraines surgery (client had no pain killers after a 5 1/2 hour surgery in the brain);
  • Sessions on animals; reversing hip dysplasia in a purebred Shepherd.

A Journalist That Just Attended A Class said: "A Life - Altering Event"

If you are scheduled to take the introductory practitioner training (Modules 1 & 2), you are already sold on the benefits of the BodyTalk SystemT. What you may not realize, however, is how these few hours will forever change your perspective on virtually every aspect of your life. The expansion in consciousness, that naturally occurs when the energy of a group of caring people merge, can't be minimized. And, because the team consists of outstanding instructors facilitate the training workshops - worldwide - the event's life-altering outcome is practically guaranteed!

One team member is Brenda Miller, CBI, who offers PaRama Break Through classes throughout her native Canada and to fortunate BodyTalk students all over the world. Going in, you will have certain trepidations that are only natural. Rest assured, Brenda's warm personality and approachable style will help you relax and gain the utmost from this unparalleled learning experience.

You may feel a little overwhelmed at the prospect of learning the hands-on techniques, the protocol chart and the philosophy behind the System. You might already know that the Australian founder, Dr. John Veltheim, created the BodyTalk SystemT from principles of energy medicine practiced for centuries by healers in some Eastern cultures. Over the past decade, through broad and successful applications his theories have been proven correct. The good news results just keep coming in every day to the IBA International Headquarters in Sarasota, Florida! (www.bodytalksystem.com)

Amazingly fast healing and maintenance of an improved level of health are achieved through the harmonious blending of these ancient Eastern philosophies and traditional Western medicine. What you are unaware of is how fortunate you are to be studying the intricacies of BodyTalk with Brenda, an instructor who brings a rich blend of esoteric knowledge and common sense logic to every training experience. You will gain from her balanced and clear presentation of the subject matter from both the Eastern and Western medical traditions. As she shares her own story, you understand the hopelessness one can feel when the words 'you have to live with it' are spoken. And when Brenda says that what some call 'miracles' are possible through BodyTalk sessions, you know it is so.

At the conclusion of your training you will feel confident using neuromuscular biofeedback (muscle testing). You be able to detect what's not communicating and learn how to lightly touch and tap the heads and hearts of your valuable clients to re-synchronize functioning in the body. You will know how to continue practicing your newly found skills by encouraging family and friends to enjoy the benefits of BodyTalk. (Some trained practitioners, in fact, learn the protocol intending to stay within this supportive circle.) For those who are training to incorporate the larger BodyTalk paradigm into their current professional health practice, Brenda reinforces the ethical standards upon which the BodyTalk SystemT is founded.

Catering to the learning style and pace of individual class members, Brenda is superb. She shares with undisguised joy and aids her students to 'get' the basics through the use of creative learning tools and simple exercises. A particularly useful course component on the final day is an exercise developed to help build BodyTalk practices by acquiring simple marketing ideas in order to get the 'word' out so that the short and long-term benefits of this new, amazing energy medicine are known throughout your community.

Be prepared to recall every minute of the training hours with Brenda Miller as your instructor as a worthwhile investment. Expect class sessions to be punctual, informative and professional. Be confident that the classroom environment with be filled with humor, hands-on practice, case studies and lots of respectful exchanges. Auditing Modules 1 & 2 with her recently, I know all of the above to be true. The experience was a life-altering event, to be sure!

BodyTalk Access
Rev. Dr. Mary Shields, RMT, CBP, Par. CBP, CAI

Known as a "practitioner's practitioner," Mary brings traits of warmth and joy to her work. She treats clients who have a wide variety of body, mind, emotional, and spiritual concerns.

Mary brings a unique background to her practice, that of education, music, and religion. She received her A.B. from Westminster College in PA, her M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and her Ph.D. from Emory University. A professor of Hebrew Bible/TaNaK, she combines a love of her academic field with a love of BodyTalk, seeing many connections between them.

After becoming a Reiki Master/Teacher, Mary began moving into healing practice. When her six-year healing odyssey from fibromyalgia ended with three BodyTalk sessions, and she took the first two modules of BodyTalk, she became convinced that BodyTalk is the most comprehensive, direct, effective, and noninvasive way to address the whole person, body, mind, emotion, spirit. She has completed the PaRama Certification, currently the highest certification in BodyTalk. She is the coordinator for BodyTalk and related modules in the Columbus area, and has recently been certified to teach BodyTalk Access.

Clients tell her that they experience their appointments as sacred time and space where they can begin/continue their healing process at all levels. About 1/3 of her practice is distance work, including clients who move from her area, who continue to work with her through long distance sessions. She writes, "It is a privilege to be able to observe deep shifts in overall health, wellness, and balance in my clients."

Mary welcomes your call with questions regarding BodyTalk and upcoming seminars, to schedule an Access class, or to schedule a BodyTalk session.
