Advanced BodyTalk SessionsSimply put... BodyTalk is Healthcare designed by your body! BodyTalk is WholeHealthcare that understands the psychology of the body and the influence it has on your health. Rather than focusing on the symptom, BodyTalk finds the hidden causes of illness by looking at the physical, mental, emotional, environmental and other factors. BodyTalk is WholeHealthcare, which means addressing the whole-person and their whole-story, using the entire context of their life to improve their health.
To learn more about the different levels of practitioners, please refer to this link. For Professional Applications of BodyTalk, please refer to this link. BodyTalk is an astonishingly simple and effective therapy that allows the body’s systems to re-synchronize so they can operate as nature intended. Each system, cell and atom is in constant communication with each other at all times. Through exposure to the stresses of daily life, these lines of communication can become compromised or disconnected, which leads to a decline in physical, emotional and/or mental well-being. Reconnecting these lines of communication enables the body to function at optimal levels, thus repairing and preventing disease while rapidly accelerating the healing process. In this way, BodyTalk stimulates the body’s innate ability to balance and heal itself on all levels. BodyTalk can be used as a stand alone system to balance many chronic and acute health problems, or can be seamlessly integrated with any healthcare regimen to increase its overall effectiveness. BodyTalk’s major assets are its simplicity, safety and speed of results. For more information, visit www.bodytalksystem.com In 2008 the IBA created an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner (AdvCBP) level. These practitioners have demonstrated their mastery of the more advanced BodyTalk material, including all advanced courses through Matrix Dynamics, and several of the adjunct courses. The Advanced CBP certification involves two in-depth 3 hour written exams in order to demonstrate an understanding of the advanced material, as well as completion of Anatomy and Physiology, 5 case studies, and a minimum of 250 sessions. (At the time of testing, Melanie had over 750 sessions recorded.) PaRama BodyTalk is the advanced work that Dr. Veltheim has been developing since 2004. These courses have expanded on the principles of the science of energy medicine and the biophysics that underpin why and how BodyTalk works. PaRama BodyTalk Practitioners use these new findings to go far deeper into the inner workings of the bodymind complex to bring about startling and long-lasting results. For your Advanced BodyTalk session, it is helpful to wear comfortable clothing, since you will be laying down. There may be light tapping on your head and sternum during the session, and you may be encouraged to focus on your breath. Because BodyTalk is safe, simple and so effective, it is the fastest growing health modality in the world! Melanie has been a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner since 2009, an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner since Aug, 2012., (joining 34 others in the United States and 88 others in the world at that time), and a PaRama BodyTalk Practitioner since January 2013. She is also a BodyTalk Access Trainer since Dec 2013 and thoroughly enjoys teaching this one day or two evening course. Melanie also was founder and coordinator of BodyTalk South Dakota, begun as a community service to educate, encourage, and enliven our experience of BodyTalk. Please check out the BodyTalk South Dakota website for community events, local practitioners and students, classes and seminars.

Testimonials for Melanie’s Advanced BodyTalk....
I have experienced the healing qualities of Melanie's BodyTalk techniques, and I can testify to her skill as a healer. In addition, I witnessed Melanie facilitate a dramatic healing in a life-threatening situation. Her skill is remarkable, and her loving presence is genuine. If you want better health: mental, spiritual, physical -- Melanie can assist you to recover your optimal health on all levels. (Ed.S., LMFT-QMHP, CBP)
"This woman recovers bodies... live ones!" (dentist) "I have received several BodyTalk sessions from Melanie Palm and every one of them has had an amazing impact on my life. My favorite session was a distance session where I felt absolutely filled and overflowing with gratitude, joy, and pure bliss. One of the underlying formulas highlighted in my session involved a deepening of my ability to "accept" and "receive" - something I've struggled with most of my life. The insights I gained and the shifts I experienced have permeated my entire personal practice. Everytime there is an Innate referral to Melanie Palm in my own practice of BodyTalk, I get happy goose bumps for what my client may be in for!" ~ (Mom, homeschooler, CBP) "Grandma Renee's prayer answered with BodyTalk Ever since Ben, my precious 2 year old grandson, was born he has had uncontrollable crying episodes. This happens at nap and bedtime and sometimes in the middle of the night and we could not find a way to comfort him. It was heartbreaking to be able to do nothing but wait for him to wear himself out and fall asleep. Before Christmas 2013 Melanie did a Family Matrix BodyTalk session for me , and Ben was a special focus in the session. When the family was together for Christmas Ben often had these crying times. It would stop all of us as we waited and hoped for Ben to find relief. The day I was alone with the boys at nap time, Ben was crying with no signs of stopping, I knelt beside his bed placed a hand behind his head and started doing cortices. He stopped crying immediately and let me finish cortices, crawled into my arms and went to sleep. This was amazing because he would normally fight when touched during these times and he never did like to cuddle. Being the doubting Thomas that I am, I needed to be convinced this was real. That night when Ben's crying pattern started again I started cortices. Immediately the crying stopped, he laid still while I did the whole BodyTalk Access technique, reached over tapped me on the head and heart, and cuddled up and went to sleep. The answer to the prayers for Ben's comfort and peace fills my heart with JOY and GRATITUDE. Thank you Innate, Melanie and Bodytalk!" (nurse, grandma, CBP) I have the best report in the whole wide world! I am so glad my daughter is receiving BodyTalk from you. Last night, she called me and she was happy! I haven't heard her happy for months... or years! She went on to tell me she has also accomplished many things that I've been praying she would accomplish. I am so grateful, so thrilled, that my daughter has finally come out of the dark, dark pit that she has been in for years. I am exceedingly grateful and thrilled, so thank you from the bottom of my heart! (mother, volunteer)
The body talk system has brought me closer with my senses. Through this awareness, I am more connected and congruent in my thoughts and actions, mind and body. Working with body talk through Melanie Palm has provided a bridge between my conscious intention and even deeper consciousness of my body's wisdom. I truly would not be so satisfied with where my life is today without the use of BodyTalk. I am forever grateful for Melanie's dedication to the integration of the BodyTalk system in my life and in the world! (MS CPC Masters of agency counseling, certified professional coach) Like so many of us, I am a survivor of many things. My personal journey brought me to Melanie and BodyTalk. The experience is both gentle and very powerful, each time I am on her table. The physical results have been measurable each time. Perhaps more notable are the emotional results. Feelings of empowerment and possibility are part of every session for me. I have been able to work through some pretty serious stuff, in a largely pain free way. This gift has been tremendous and has helped me experience very positive change, and enhanced my work as a massage therapist and educator. The benefit in my family life is priceless. Melanie is the very definition of compassion. Her skills and unrivaled dedication to her calling are inspiring. The work is powerful. My gratitude is beyond measure. - (LMT) It was thanks to my mother, in truth, that I ended up in the cozy chair in a serene little space at the Yoga Studio in Rapid City. My mother’s intentions were the same as they had always been when she presented me with a gift certificate for a healer of one kind or another; help her beloved daughter quit smoking. And, as I had done so many times before, I told the practitioner from the cozy chair that while I appreciated my mother’s intentions and hopes for me, I did not necessarily want to quit smoking. I was open to - even excited about - healing on a soul level, a spiritual level, but smoking, at the moment, was not my priority. Mrs. Palm mentioned that Body Talk was a system of therapy that necessitated working strictly with the intentions of the body at any given time. Meaning, we’d work on whatever my body wanted to work on and that the healing took place on many levels. I felt supported, respected and I happily took my place on her table. It was a place I would take, with joyful anticipation, again and again over the next several months. Each session left me feeling calm, light, incredibly joyful and empowered. I felt no judgement and no condition, but I did feel that healing was taking place. My desire to smoke waned dramatically, naturally. When I did smoke, I enjoyed it less and soon was powerfully aware of how much my body disliked it. I believe Body Talk sessions with Melanie truly helped me to tune into a body, a reality, that I had been largely ignoring, and in doing so, helped me to heal on all levels. I believe my spirituality has deepened, my physical form has strengthened, and my senses sharpened. I never felt pressured by Melanie to book the next appointment, never felt as though she were “selling” her services. In fact, I was encouraged in one session to seek out another healing modality I had utilized regularly in the past. To this day, I count Melanie and her work with me as some of the most powerful and lasting healing experiences I have ever encountered. I am blessed to have been gifted her services, and I am forever grateful. ~(author) Thank you for the great session! I woke up this morning and for the first time since I can remember I had a peaceful feeling about my childhood. Very cool! Thank you! - (business woman)
"Melanie’s non-judgmental attitude inspires trust and self-acceptance. BodyTalk has helped to increase my mental alertness, regulate my blood sugar levels, and alleviate pain from an old hip injury. After receiving BodyTalk, I am able to deal with stress in a healthy way and maintain emotional peace." - (massage therapist) "BodyTalk relieved my pain in a month and a half after rotator cuff surgery. Usually it takes 5-6 months for recovery. Your sessions cut that time in 1/3! Thank you!" - (artist) "After catching Pneumonia in high school, my lungs remained damaged. When I was finally able to run again, I would cough for days. One week after a session with Melanie, my lungs felt strong enough to sustain a steady pace and there was no coughing afterwards. Now, I am running up to nine miles a day and feeling better than I have in years. Thank you!" - (journalist) |

Testimonials for Melanie’s BodyTalk Access class....
FIRST ONLINE CLASS!
"What an absolutely beautiful day! I do have to admit I was worried that an all day class online would not keep my attention and I would lose interest .... But I was oh so wrong. For me it was pretty easy to stay engaged all the time, the questions and answers were easy to follow, easy to hear and everything seemed to work quite smooth... You are such an amazing instructor and I am blessed to once again receive a day of knowledge with you. I love adding yet another Access class to my resume of learning. Once again what a special day. Thank you and Virtual Hugs" "Attending the BodyTalk Access class can only be described as life changing! Thank you for making the opportunity available, filling the room with amazing people, and teaching in a way that made me feel both safe and excited to participate. I adore what you have helped me facilitate in myself and I want you to know I plan to share all of it every day in a way that makes the world a better place!" "Loved the class! A privilege to attend! Thanks, Melanie!" "I had felt overwhelmed before coming about being able to master these techniques, but with the great teaching and the hands-on practice, I feel like I can confidently do this at home!" "Excellent timing and pacing! Absolutely awesome!" "Very supportive, very well organized and presented. Thank you for bringing BodyTalk to South Dakota!" "As a monitor, what impressed me the most is how much I got out of this class the second time!" "Very knowledgeable instructor, friendly and very willing to help." I give mega kudos to the Fast Aid technique I learned in BodyTalk Access. I was in the mountains of Wyoming one Saturday. I developed an UTI. I knew from pst history that I needed medical attention and medication but the nearest town was 20 miles away and it's clinic didn't open until Monday. A town with an urgent care center was 70 miles away. As I was debating what to do, I thought of Fast Aid. Unfortunately, I didn't have the direction and relied on memory from a practice from the previous year. I know it wasn't exact but the next morning, although not perfect, I felt so much better and by Monday, the UTI was gone! (Retired educator) |
I want to thank you for BodyTalk! All that has transpired in my morning (and so many other days) has all been due to the matrix you began in South Dakota. I cannot thank you enough for all you have given me, and all the other lives you have touched! - (practitioner-in-training)
The training that Melanie offers has brought me to greater confidence in my own capacity to heal. Her presence is healing because of great peace and non judgment. It is a great treat and honor to work with Melanie. ~ (counselor, teacher, qigong)
"Melanie, after many years of one illness after another and numerous hospitalizations, I am doing things I never thought I would be able to do again. When I started seeing you, I had to take a power cart to do my shopping, and now I push a shopping cart around the store! I also have no pain, mental confusion or discomforts of any kind! At 78 I'm doing better than I did at 50, thanks to you and BodyTalk!" - (retired CPA and veteran)
"I have never felt so peaceful in my life! It was a blessing to be able to experience it!" -(young mother)

I’m learning how to respect my own body for its innate healing power, as well as all the wonderful things it allows me to do each and every day." - (business)
