What Students Have Said About Sylvia's BodyTalk Module 5 Trainings

Susan Stenson, Teacher, CBP, BAT, Victoria, BC: 
Sylvia is a master teacher. I know that because I have a masters degree in Education and have trained many teachers over the years. Sylvia lives and breathes this work and her authenticity and vulnerability allow her students to risk. She is patient, clear, on task, and encouraging. I'm grateful for Sylvia's attention to detail, respect for professionalism and willingness to teach from the heart. She obviously thinks through the course from a students' perspective before she teaches it so she ensures we easily overcome any pitfalls.

Daryn Hubbard, Naturotherapist, Magrath, Alberta 
This was a fabulous course. The lymphatic drainage techniques work so well. We had a great time learning together. This lymphatic drainage technique will be a valuable asset to my practice.

Janie Becelaere, Nail Technician, Victoria, BC:
Very relaxed atmosphere. I liked the sessions that Sylvia did. She helped me realize that I did sessions "okay." I liked that she wrote her links on the board. Her explanations were easy to understand.

Ralph Dinklemann, South Africa
I think that is a very well put together course and the module text book is especially thorough and well put together. The fact that one also gets a lot of hands-on experience so that one would be very comfortable in handling clients in a very professional way in a potentially tricky situation is also very good – especially for people not having worked with clients having to undress. Wish I had learnt about the draping when I had done massage a couple of years ago. Personal supervision by Sylvia is also very, very good!

Suzanne Field, South Africa
The course material is more than learning the lymphatic drainage technique. Sylvia must have spent hours of time putting together the ‘more specific’ and definition charts. We can now get down to cellular level and beyond with one flip of the page. My treatments will be so precise that I am expecting miracles.

Christine McNair, South Africa
I really enjoyed the further detail in the lists and how these afford one the opportunity/possibility to get to a very specific priority even if you are not schooled in these sophisticated subjects. The concept of moving water really excites me as it underpins all communication breakdowns on all levels – and it is simple to apply.

Gill Gilbert, Botswana
This course developed how to use the physical approach to lymph that makes it invaluable in a session. The ‘normal’ lymph has come up so often that it was obviously time to learn more.

Julia Hastie, South Africa
I enjoyed Sylvia’s practical and sensitive way of dealing with the human body – it made us feel comfortable. I have grown a lot more confident about bodywork – thanks for that.

Visheka Singh, South Africa
The course was brilliant. You were fantastic and your command of the BodyTalk knowledge, your class and easiness was most enjoyable. The level from which you work from is definitely something I would love to achieve and have a great respect for. The module 5 manual will definitely help to make BodyTalk practice much easier.

Francoise Arnaud, Kwazulu Natal
The information was extremely useful as the instructor spoke well and slowly enough for all to understand and grasp the concepts and take notes when necessary. The Manual is concise and precise and practice was made easy as Sylvia kept on checking us all. At no time did I feel I was lacking confidence and was in fact looking forward to practice. I cannot wait to go home and apply.

Priscilla Naidoo, South Africa
The presentation was excellent! I absolutely enjoyed the practicals and actually learning so much about the lymphatic drainage techniques. This course should be a pre-requisite to the advanced modules, I believe, especially for those who do not have a background in this area.

Sue Wood, South Africa
The whole weekend has been a joy! Thanks.

Morag Bromfield, South Africa
The lists in the manual are very informative and a useful tool in BodyTalk sessions. I also enjoyed the ‘simple’ explanation of the blood and lymph systems – will use this in Modules 1&2 – and keep it simple! Enjoyed your clarity of material and clarity of explanations.

Ayala Nezah, Kenya
I came to this course because I felt I need lymphatic drainage and I didn’t want to do this in the regular way. I feel very good after the practice. I know that I can do it and help other people, because lymphatic drainage is very important to our body. Thank you, it was a great course!

Eve Drury, Kwazulu Natal
The lists will definitely add a new dimension to the sessions.

Laura Streicher, Fairfield, IA:
Fulfilling, healing, enjoyable, enlightening, and fun!
1). It was a clear series of step by step presentations of how to prepare, drape, and perform the Veltheim Method of Lymphatic Drainage, with an amazing more specific/consciuousness/definition section all the way to the quantum level. Bring your hands!
2). I almost didn't go. I had a terrible rash on my face and abdomen. The work we did (and had done on me) over the weekend really helped to clear it quite a bit!

Kelley burry, CBP and Teacher, Port Williams, Nova Scotia
How wonderful to have a tool to go to the deepest levels of anatomy, etc.

Allison Riben, CBP and Arborist, Calgary, Alberta
It was a great course. I loved the maual. I also enjoyed learning the lymphatic drainage method. I will be able to integrate it into my practice.

Lorraine Hachey, Calgary, AB:
The class was great, well organized, clearly presented, and fun. I feel that I can use the knowledge I learned from the class right away with confidence.

Eleanor Fuke, ND, CBP, Kitchener, ON:
Sylvia is an excellent teacher. She is highly organized and yet laid back. She gave plenty of time for practice and made corrections in a constructive way. Her classes are thoroughly enjoyable.

Sharon Canzi, Business Owner & hearing Specialist, Peterborough, ON:
I loved it! The course was well presented and the manual will be really helpful.

Sandra Lizotte, CBP, Cochrane, AB:
I had no idea how badly I needed to receive this technique - it was awesome! I have an unbelieveable feeling of lightness and cleansing of my abdomen, and I had a lot emotion and sluidge there whne I started. Thank you!

Breanne Graham, Geologist, Calgary, AB:
I really felt that the use of the lists in the manual was helpful and will improve my sessions.

Gail Fennell, Edmonton, AB:
What a fantastic course! I don't have a bodywork background, but by the end of the course, I could understand how the lymph system works, why it's important to keep it flowing freely and actually see the positive results of what I did for another person. I strongly recommend this course to anyone doing BodyTalk.

Linda Hurkot, Speech Language Pathologist, Monarch, AB:
This course offers very valuable information about the muscles and the 'systems' and more specifically about consciousness definitions. The VMLD is an excpetional technique - very effective!

Susan Strong, Calgary, AB:
Hugely important module for the health of clients. I love the more specific consciousness definitions. Sylvia did an excellent and terrific job on the writing and explaining of the manual. You are an excellent teacher. I enjoyed learning the draping technique. I also enjoyed the learning of the entire module 5.

Samantha Archibald, Accounting Technician, Lethbridge, AB:
This lymph technique is a must for BodyTalkers.

Colleen Ryan, CBP, Cambridge, New Zealand:
Module 5 has been one of the most exciting and at the same time challenging environments for me. I knew I had to learn to become more at ease working with the body in this more tactile manner. Overcoming some of my limitations in an easy, relaxed course, has now given me the confidence and ease to share this knowledge so I may perform the VMLD in my clinic - for sure!

Cherie Ritchie, CBP, Christchurch, New Zealand:
This is a great form of lymphatic drainage. Easy to do, concise technique and fantastic notes. Once again - presentation of technique easy to follow. And lots of laugher and entertainment in the group situation.

Donna Thompson, CBP, Vancouver, BC:
Sylvia always makes learning fun and easy. I am grateful to Sylvia's background in teaching us the draping techniques for the LYmphatic Drainage Teachnique.

Petra Tunmar Lundell, CBP, Tyresö, Sweden:
The course was a lot of fun. We learned while we laughed.
Your way of teaching kept me interested the whole time.

Hazel Hobbs, CBP, Oxford, England:
I really like the way you have presented the material in the Module 5 manual. I'm sure that it will never leave my "BodyTalk" side, it's an invaluable asset, thank you for putting it together. The VMLD is just great - thanks John.

Inger Lundberg, CBP, Uppsala, Sweden:
The course was very thorough.
The material was great and everything Sylvia was telling us was in the course material! I loved the More Specific, Consciousness Definitons. Thank you Sylvia!

Mari-Louise Mattsson, CBP, Uppsala, Sweden:
Materialet är välformulerat med bra och mycket information. Bra! Lätt att läsa sig till det man är osäker på. Bra och avslappnad lärare. Positiv. känns väldigt naturlig. det kändes aldrig svårt att fråga. Det var en avslappnad kurs, utan svårigheter.

Ulla Nessling, Therapist, Uppsala, Sweden:
I enjoyed the course very much, with very good practical and educational parts. Sylvia was a very observant and excellent teacher. From what I have seen from the book, it seems to be very easy to read and learn from.

Tina Leslie, CBP, Monimail, Scotland:
I thoroughly enjoyed learning with lots of fun included. The fun is a real selling point for Module 5. Sylvia presents the material in a relaxed but professional way and is receptive to comments, jokes and laughs from the class. I look forward to using the VMLD system!

Annelie Johansen, Shiatsu Therapist, Assistant Nurse, Stockholm, Sweden:
Fantastisk kurs! Sylvias sätt att lära ut är mycket pedagogiskt och materialet blir lätt att förstå just därför. Lärana inom BodyTalk är mycket bra lyssnare och de får mig att känna mig bekväm att fråga hur många frågor som helst. Tack.

Susanne Lindkvist, CBP, Knivsta, Sweden:
I have always been curious of the body and now I feel that I can start the work. It doesn't feel so huge. I have the big picture or a "door" if you like. The course was really great.

Angela Heffernan, CBP, St John's, NL:
The material was very well done and Sylvia added lots to it. It was all very clear and understandable. The material has lots of practical aspects for me and I already have clients looking forward to the new lymph drainage technique. Very much enjoyed it all!

Robert English, CBP, Calgary, AB:
Very good detail work, for helping to intensify module 4(7) and overall BodyTalk work. Very quick and effective way to work the lymphatics. Lots of practical work helps to learn the material effectively. Definitely will enhance my effectiveness in balance work with clients.

Kimberly Wise, CBP and Kinesiologist, Calgary, AB:
Module 5 is a very practical module which effectively teaches you the specific technique of lymphatic drainage, but also increases your confidence levels with the overall protocol of BodyTalk. The manual for it is also an excellent resource to refer to for overall anatomy, consciousness and defintions. Highly recommended if you're interested in hands-on treatment.

Jackie Sereda, CBP, Rolling Hills, AB:
Sylvia is an excellent teacher and taking courses from her always results in sound/thorough learning. She is professional in her approach and her material reflects her vast background in many modalities. The Module 5 manual she developed will be an invaluable tool in my BodyTalk business as it streamlines the investigative process.

Kimeron Wandler, CBP and Teacher, Calgary, AB:
Both the "more specific" list and the lymph drainage will add to and further develop my practice. These practical techniques and information are extremely useful and will enhance each treatment.

Terrance McCaine, Golf Industry, Calgary, AB:
Fortunately for me the opportunity to participate in Module 5 came up, and to say the least, it was fantastic. Fine tuning, missing link, call it what you will, it was exactly what I needed. As usual Sylvia's presentation and thoroughness was excellent. I feel more ready than ever to further my career in BodyTalk.

Priscilla Petersen, CBP, Brooks, AB:
Sylvia is an excellent instructor. She is very well organized and the knowledge she has about the body and BodyTalk is superb. The way she teaches gives her students confidence. She has opened my potential beyond what I imagined was possible. Sylvia is a wonderful compassionate human being.

Correna Van Tol, CBP, Calgary, AB:
Lymphatic "scooping" was more effective than I could have imagined. As well, the emotional release could be felt and definite lightness afterward.

Karen Sorensen, Artist/Healing, Chapel Hill, NC:
This course actually exceeded my expectations. The in-depth detail of anatomy along with specifics, definitions, consciousness and qualities is an invaluable resource. Coupled with lymphatic drainage, I'm grateful for the addition to my repertoire!

Makayla Keehn, Massage Therapist, Prince Rupert, BC:
I enjoyed learning the lymphatic drainage. The hands-on technique seemed to work well. Also, the more detailed lists of anatomy and physiology will be very helpful. As always, Sylvia's teaching was phenomenal. Clear, concise and she is receptive to all kinds of questions no matter how small!

Kate Gordon McLeod, CBP, Calgary, AB:
Sylvia delivered an effective, dynamic course, and made it a priority to give one-on-one instruction to everyone as she moved around the room during practice times. She continues to be a valuable asset to the BodyTalk family.

Karen Best, BodyTalk Practitioner, Surrey, UK:
Sylvia is a great instructor, very clear and approachable.

Janet Blackwelder, Master Herbalist, Highland, UT:
You have a great presence and energy about you and about the information. The course was very well organized and you are very open to questions and especially new ideas from the group which is a great attitiude of a great teacher. The lymphatic system worked so well and was easy for a lay person to learn.
Just loved the class.

Brenlee Kernaghan, Student/CBP, Winnipeg, MB:
The overheads of the muscle origins that we practiced helped me a lot.
Sylvia taught a very professional method of draping and working with the naked body. I loved the course and found it easy to follow.

Muriel Stickney, Painter/BodyTalk Practitioner, Sparwood, BC:
Great organization and the list of more specific anatomy, consciousness and physiology definitions is truly invaluable.

Barbara Henderson, CBP, Kimberley, BC:
The course was great to develop the professional skills in working with clients when required to work skin on skin. The lymphatic drainage technique was amazing and taught in a thorough way so enough practice was provided to feel comfortable with the technique as well as working with the draped body.

Trish Gouveia, Physiotherapist, CBP, Calgary, AB:
Sylvia was fabulous as per usual. The immense amount of "hands on" time was very beneficial to help develop my skills. Sylvia encourages you to be creative and use your right brain in techniques. Can't wait to put into practice all I have learnt.
