LaVerne Dykstra, Reflexologist/Pedicurist, Pincher Creek:
This course was amazing! It seems to make the other courses I've taken come to life and make more sense - my understanding of the protocol and procedure has deepened. This course gives me the desire to study harder and become certified and take all the courses over and over to keep on learning.

The material was presented in a concise and understandable manner. We had a lot of fun and learned much.

Lesley Berndt, CBP, Former Teacher, Calgary:
I feel that these modules really solidified information for me. You were very patient in answering questions to ensure that all of us felt secure and were comfortable and confident enough to practice techniques on our own. I truly believe that you were born to teach, and I feel honored to have been your student. You share wisdom and knowledge selflessly. Thank you!

Margo Delancey, CBP, Reiki, Electrolysis, Calgary:
Sylvia is consistently clear, grounded, open and helpful. WE get through all the material, we ask a lot of questions, we laugh, cry, laugh, learn, think, play, work, and laugh some more. Very valuable course!

Denene Derksen, CBP and Rejuvaslim, Calgary, AB:
Sylvia is an excellent teacher and I plan on taking all my BodyTalk trainings with her. THis time around, I was particularly impressed with the delicate balance between staying on task (daily agenda) and other discussions that came up (Innate's other agenda?). We learned from Sylvia and each other without wasting any time.

Thank you for your patience and very complete explanations of various sessions. Appreciated openess to answering all those questions (on and on and on!). Particularily appreciated that my technique was "watched" to ensure I thoroughly grasped the concept/application.

Module 4(7) techniques are awesome. Sylvia presented in a manner that was understandable, yet professional. The information will be beneficial to clients.

Maureen Becker, BodyTalk Practitioner, Winnipeg:
Sylvia's teaching ability is out of this world! She is able to take the most difficult concepts and break them down so that they are extremely easy to understand for a layman like myself who does not have an anatomy background. The other delight was experiencing Sylvia's thorough explanations of anatomy that helped so much in understanding the specific techniques that we need to employ in 4(7). Anyone who takes any course from Sylvia is fortunate - her time management skills, teaching ability and style make the hours fly by. I can actually say the course was ENJOYABLE every minute. Kudos to Sylvia!

Cathy Shatford, Oliver:
Sylvia, I think you are a great teacher and I'm quite critical of teachers normally because my first career was teaching. You were well organized, had very helpful handouts, white board demos and "Mini Me" (the skeleton). It is enjoyable being in your classroom. You seem to have just the right mix of professionalism and casualness.

Jan Gluszkowski, Profiling/Mapping Computer Software, Vernon:
It was truly an honor to be a part of this learning experience. Sylvia's teaching style instills confidence and a belief in yourself and your own abilities. The techniques were explained in a very clear/concise way. Thank you for helping me to move forward on my BodyTalk path.

Judy Edward, former Teacher, current BodyTalker, Kelowna:
This is a very practial, hands-on module and Sylvia explained the techniques, demonstrated the techniques, and then made sure as we practiced that we were actually implementing the techniques correctly. This attention to ALL students during the hands-on sections is really appreciated.

Karen Walberg, Reflexologist/Reiki, Coldstream,:
The presentation of the course was crucial for me to be able to take the challenge of going for certification. The calm energy and gentle approach was very important for me to feel safe and able or capable to do BodyTalk. You helped me to be not afraid to learn. Every question was treated with utmost respect. You were able to keep the class from getting off track and honored requests with love and understanding.

Judy Teto, Teacher/Musician, Sicamous:
Module 4(7) was mind-blowing to me. The techniques introduced expand 1 & 2 profoundly. But even better, was all the shifting and processing I experienced through the practice sessions. Sylvia, you have a true gift, you are a natural teacher. I feel blessed to have met you.

Robert P. Beckford, Chiropractor, Thunder Bay:
The course has immediate practical application within the BodyTalk System. I have found Sylvia's enthusiasm for BodyTalk very sincere. Her professionalism in presentation/instruction of this material and facilitation during practical application is excellent. I appreciated her commitment to the standard BodyTalk protocol/procedure while giving her personal experience in day-to-day practice. I am a very satisfied participant.

Sheila D'Amore, Registered Nurse, Thunder Bay:
I especially appreciated you, Sylvia, as an instructor. You have a wonderful and (rare) balance of highly developed right and left brain with a very precise, professional yet relaxed style of presentation. This balance is a personal and professional goal and you were a great role model during this workshop. Having only taken Modules 1&2, this advanced protocol opened up a realm of dynamics and possibilities within BodyTalk that I welcome. All the information was useful...Appreciated the "extras" you bring to the course. Liked it when we practiced hands-on what we were learning...

Patricia Arges, Teacher, Thunder Bay:
I liked all the new info and techniques...more for my BodyTalk "bag of tricks"! Sylvia, you are great! You have a wealth of knowledge and experience from which to draw, and do so in a friendly, fun and warm manner. I felt completely supported as a student; I had a ball! I look forward to future events with you!

Claire Bramham, Hypnotherapist, Calgary:
I was very happy with all we learned regarding the Five Elements. I love that this course includes so much Eastern and Western medicine. The material was presented very clearly and Sylvia made sure that everyone understood before she moved on. I want to learn all of it!

Lasha Kokorudz, Massage Therapist, Canmore:
Sylvia, you have an amazing way of putting all the information into a simple way to learn. I learned a lot from you. The parcels and packages - all these new ways - you made easier to understand how to apply them.

Shirley Perry, Office Manager, Scandia:
The 4(7) course expanded my knowledge of Modules 1&2 to a new level. Learning the new techniques and understanding why we are doing them. Sylvia explains the material in a very clear way that makes learning easier. She is very open to questions being asked and is very patient. Lots of group discussions are held which helps to clear up questions.

Deanna Eu, former Investment Advisor, Vancouver:
The presentation of the material was very practical and your presentation together with your knowledge of anatomy made it really easy to follow the course material and to learn the information. With a clear understanding of how everything fits together, I am certain that I will be a much better BodyTalk Practitioner.

Wendy-Anne Park, Retired Registered Nurse, Vancouver:
I appreciated Sylvia's knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Your patience and expertise in handling all questions we had was delightful - creating a positive, interesting and enjoyable learning experience. Your enthusiasm and interest in the body transferred to the group and inspired me to learn more myself. I look forward to working more effectively and deeply with people. I also loved having skeletons to point out the various bones - it made the learning much easier with a 3D form to look at and touch.
