It was excellent to be a student and get the "juices" flowing for learning. It is so nice to have an instructor who will let things "happen" at any time, in reference to questions, comments, and feedback. You have an incredible talent at taking what is asked, commented on or feedback given, so that it can tie in beautifully with what is being presented.

I look forward to using BodyTalk with my massage therapy clients in order to address all levels of the person, not just the physical. With the innate wisdom to guide me, I'll feel relieved to not have to rely on my own perceptions and agendas, rather the healing will take place where it needs to. Incredible. Leanne Dalderis, BodyTalk Practitioner, Calgary: I appreciated you sharing your shortcuts and how you approached the protocol. I like the intimate atmosphere.

Kristy Potter, Registered Massage Therapist and Instructor, Calgary: The time "flew by" this weekend, which can only suggest that Sylvia is an engaging speaker who runs a very efficient schedule in working through the Module. Thank-you Sylvia! Sean Potter, Registered Massage Therapist, Calgary: This course was a lot of fun and kept nice and light, even though everyone could feel the magnitude of the subject material. The instructor had a great sense of humor and I would highly recommend her for future courses as her Anatomy & Physiology background is very comforting. Dr. Heathir Naesgaard, Naturopathic Physician, Vancouver: Sylvia presents concepts in a highly organized format which she inspires with humour and many examples. Sylvia ensures plenty of in-class practice time and answers questions in a manner which allows integration of the new information.

I hope that she will return to the Vancouver area to continue her work in the near future. Helen M Schmidt, Teacher, Live Blood Cell Analyst, Brooks: I have just finished my first module of BodyTalk with Sylvia.

I came home refreshed and excited and ready to implement the components of Module 1. It's all about the "comfort level". Sylvia has made it possible for me to ask questions without feeling dumb! Sylvia's attitude and intention for her students to achieve is very positive. She has shared tips and stories from her clients which emphasize and clarify learning situations. Thank you Sylvia. Kerri Miller, Kinesiology Student, Brooks: Sylvia, thank God (or universal energy or consciousness or whatever) that the fates engineered it so you would be my instructor!
