If you are unsure, send Melissa a course enquiry and briefly describe what you hope to learn.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCESS AND FUNDAMENTALS?

BodyTalk Access teaches a small group of practical techniques that can be used regularly by individuals, families and communities.

BodyTalk Fundamentals is the foundational practitioner-level course. It introduces the principles, Protocol and Procedure used to conduct complete BodyTalk sessions.

IS BODYTALK FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT FACE TO FACE?

Melissa currently teaches Fundamentals face to face because it is a practical, hands-on course. Being in the room gives students opportunities to observe demonstrations, practise with different people, ask questions and receive immediate guidance.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER FUNDAMENTALS?

Many students begin by practising, revisiting the material and attending Fundamentals Integration. You can then continue with practitioner development and advanced BodyTalk courses as your confidence and experience grow.

WHAT IS FUNDAMENTALS INTEGRATION?

Fundamentals Integration helps students consolidate what they learned in Fundamentals. Melissa’s expanded course combines review and practice with additional material relating to client communication, assessment, records, ethics, legal considerations and practice development.

WHO CAN ATTEND ADVANCED BODY CHEMISTRY?

Participants must have completed BodyTalk Fundamentals. The course is designed for students and practitioners who want to expand the possibilities they can explore when Body Chemistry arises in a session.

I HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED BODYECOLOGY. IS ADVANCED BODY CHEMISTRY STILL RELEVANT?

Yes. The courses approach their material differently. Advanced Body Chemistry focuses on expanding how you think about and explore Body Chemistry within the framework established in Fundamentals. It is not a shortened version of BodyEcology.

ARE ONLINE COURSES LIVE OR RECORDED?

Course delivery varies. When a course is described as live online, it is taught interactively through Zoom rather than supplied as a self-paced recording. The individual course page will state the delivery format.

WILL I HAVE TIME TO PRACTISE?

Yes. Melissa’s teaching includes demonstrations, discussion and practical opportunities. Her aim is for you to understand the material and feel able to apply what you have learned.

WHERE CAN I FIND COURSE DATES AND FEES?

Current dates, delivery details, prerequisites and enrolment information will appear on the relevant course page. You can also enquire if no date is currently listed.

CAN I BOOK A BODYTALK SESSION WITH MELISSA?

Yes, but client appointments are managed separately through Be Healthy Group. This website is focused on BodyTalk education and training.
