I feel that these modules really solidified information for me. You
were very patient in answering questions to ensure that all of us felt

honored to have been your student. You share wisdom and knowledge
selflessly. Thank you!

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

discussions that came up (Innate's other agenda?). We learned from
Sylvia and each other without wasting any time.

and the way you explain things in such a straightforward manner (easy
to understand) is great.

numerous injuries from many years ago, including a car/bicycle accident
I received relief from the techniques learned. I enjoyed the practical
use of the module.
Correna Krysko, Calgary:

various sessions. Appreciated openess to answering all those questions
(on and on and on!). Particularily appreciated that my technique was

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

knowledge of anatomy and sharing of same was indispensible. Very nice
set-up, pacing, demonstration, and teaching techniques.
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!

excellent and really helped to expand on material in the manual.
Horst Nussbaum, Computer Systems Consultant, Sydenham:
Sylvia gave generously of her knowledge and skills and is very supportive during teaching and practice.

that I will be more confident in offering sessions.

was clear, precise and helpful to me. Certainly a high recommendation!

it simply spills over and creates such a great environment to learn!
Thanks soooo much!
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.
Monique Craig, Massage Therapist, Dundas:
Sylvia is a wonderful teacher, full of excellent information that I
know I can integrate eaily. Her presentation was fun and easy to
follow. She was always available for individual questions and
assistance and I felt comfortable doing so.

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.
Isabella Swarbrick, Beautician, North Canterbury, NZ:
The course was presented in such a uniform way that is was easier to follow and keep on track.

as you are approachable. You have clarified so many things from other
modules I have done.

Information was excellent. Certainly deepened my knowledge of more than
just 4(7). For example, going over protocol and procedure charts.
Thanks.
Carolyn Searle, CBP, Christchurch, NZ:
Clear, concise delivery of information. Well structured. It was held
close to home, with a warm group of participants. I thoroughly enjoyed
the teaching style and openness of others' ideas and contributions as
well as Sylvia's personal ideas. Covering procedures thoroughly and
explaining relevant points. I feel my experience of 4(7) has been
transformed!

As per usual you have exceeded my expectations. I have been blown
away by this module and feel it will certainly take me ahead in leaps
and bounds.
Jacky Hobbs, CBP, Nelson, NZ:
The entire presentation was very clear and easy to understand. I didn't
expect to learn so much new stuff so my expectations were far exceeded.
It was an extremely worthwhile course. Thank you for your lovely
personality and ability to make us feel comfortable and part of the
group.
Hal Terlecka-Wiek, Christchurch, NZ:
Thank you Sylvia, I appreciate the time/help you gave to help me get

it so understandable and share it well. The course was fun and really
enjoyable. Thank you.

of work. It was well presented.

Module 4(7) was packed with useful information to enhance my
BodyTalk practice. Sylvia's explanations were helpful, thorough and
filled with interesting illustrations, stories and tips. There was

step by step illustrations of Sylvia's BodyTalk protocol process was a
great model for practice. Thanks, SYlvia, for supporting and empowering
each of us.

Sylvia's experience as a teacher is very evident. She has an
understanding of her role as teacher coupled with a consciousness of

useful. I would highly recommend Sylvia's classes. She's very
approachable and attentive to her students.

concepts and overview for each subject. She did clear demonstrations
and also worked with each person to make sure we understood. Material
was clearly presented in a pleasant manner.
Jean Sheehan, Medical Intuitive, Tewantin, Australia:
Sylvia, you have a natural gift for teaching. You were able to
touch so many and you used many learning techniques such as visual,
audio, and kinesthetic. We definitely appreciated your hard work and
detailed notes so we could better understand the material.
Having explanations and practical experience is necessary for a full understanding.
Thank you again. An absolute pleasure and honour to have met you.
Deborah James, Reiki Master, Burpengary, Australia:
I found the content of 4(7) really exciting. What was especially
helpful about the way you presented it was the down to earth examples
and demonstrations. I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed about all the
new things to learn, but this weekend I felt comfortable with the pace
and excited by the content. Thank you for renewing my excitement in
BodyTalk.
Sharyn Loone, BodyTalk Practitioner, Tingalpa, Australia:

use of "mini-me" the skeleton, as it enhanced my understanding where
the muscles are in relation to the bones.
Karla Wickham, Health Shop Assistant, Rotorua, New Zealand:
I found everything in this course very useful and interesting. I can't
wait to go home and practice all my new skills on the world. I found

Sylvia has a way of making you easily understand the techniques
from the left brain aspect. It is great to feel her passion for

of handouts and information for each technique to help you learn. It
was terrific.
Wayne Pickstone, Naturopath and Acupuncturist, Pialba, Australia:
It was fantastic and enjoyable during the four days of learning. It was
nice having Sylvia as our instructor who easily was able to communicate
sometimes difficult techniques into easy adaptable understandings. Also
it was brilliant to understand how far the innate can take the
practitioner to help those who need BodyTalk.
Libby Raymond, BodyTalk Practitioner and Clinical Assistant, Pialba, Australia:
The course was excellent, giving me more knowledge and skills and
wisdom to be able to BodyTalk clients. Sylvia has a wonderful way of
putting over her information that allows for much more interaction
within the class to inform and educate us.

The material was presented in a very clear and understandable manner.
Sylvia's experience and depth of knowledge beautifully enhanced the
value of the course.

Sylvia's presentation of material could not be faulted in any way. She
was very patient and I felt that if need be, she would have explained
different techniques as many times as was needed until the information

energetic world we live in. Many thanks.

As already a therapist with a full clientele list, any additional
material to maximize a client's health on a physical, mental,
emotional, spiritual level is welcome. Sylvia's presentation on
BodyTalk Module 4(7) fulfilled all these various levels. Combining
protocol, to personal case history, to honesty is an inspiration to me
to gain more knowledge in BodyTalk on my personal and professional
journey of discovery. With sincere thanks.

openness to all questions, and valued your experience. I really look
