This course was taught in a professional manner. It was well paced in a
relaxed participatory manner. At all times material was presented in a
clear, concise, detailed manner followed by hands on application.
Sylvia's relaxed manner and humour was conducive to learning and
confidence building for me. Wonderful course and well worth the travel
to attend.

The courses were very informative. Sylvia is an excellent
instructor! She presented the information in a clear and consise
manner. The way it was presented helped me to remember each section of
the course. It was also lots of fun! Can't wait to start!

the points I missed before. As always, you are a great teacher and it
is fun to be in your classes.

Sylvia is an excellent presenter and coupled with her knowledge of
anatomy and physiology, gives a firm foundation of the importance in
understanding the principles as well as techniques of BodyTalk, to give
confidence to attendees who may feel enthused towards making a career
in BodyTalk.
Virginia Parker, Teacher of Secondary School/University, Tauranga, NZ:
Sylvia has a relaxed manner - both in lecturing and practical
demonstrations. A well-paced and logical presentation. As a
'first-timer' I did not feel threatened or overwhelmed. Anedocal
examples and a depracating manner and humour was much appreciated.
Thank you Sylvia!
Robin Haslett, Mount Maunganui, NZ:
Thank you so much - it was a wonderful course. Very informative, professionally presented with skill and humour.

Sylvia is a natural teacher. Her methods are clear, examples are
insightful and humor (always a plus!) is plentiful. I feel privileged
to have begun my journey with BodyTalk under Sylvia's guidance. And I
look forward to meeting her again in a future BodyTalk course.
Sara Tiller, Massage Therapist, Tauranga, NZ:
Sylvia's easy manner as a tutor especially making anatomy and
physiology understandable to lay people was amazing. If you're looking
for a tutor and get an opportunity to study with Sylvia - go for it. A
real beneficial experience. Many thanks to Sylvia, keep up the good
work.
Erena Oliver, BodyTalk Practitioner, Renwick, NZ:
This course is for anyone who has self doubts or any fears around
energy medicine. Sylvia is so calm and encouraging. You come away from
the course believing you can do no harm and have fun while doing
BodyTalk. Sylvia has a great methodical way of delivering the course
and puts no emphasis on any one part of the protocol. The course is fun
and I will monitor again!
William E. Lee, Storeman/Cleaner, Auckland, NZ:
Thank you so much Sylvia for coming here to share your knowledge and
insights. For personalising the course with your experiences and humour
and for being a clear and enthusiastic speaker. Thank you for your
development and extending of this field over the years. This is a
course full of revelations and is mind opening.
Robb Powell, Sport/Recreation Administrator, Calgary:
I very much appreciated your time management, which allowed us quality
time each day to put the theory taught into practical 'hands on'
sessions. Thanks Sylvia.
Beth Simpson, Body Worker, Vancouver:
I love sylvia's teaching style because she is able to take very complex
concepts and material and present them in a very simple and direct way.
She is very patient and encouraging and gives me the feeling that I can
do my very best as a BodyTalk practitioner.
Nina Lakhani, Calgary:
The material was laid out very systematically, it was presented very
well, and it was fun. We had lots of practice time too. I wish Sylvia
had taught me in school. I have learnt and responded so well to my
lessons. She's the best!
Andrea Gleisberg, Warman, SK:
I enjoyed the light atmosphere in which the workshop was presented.
It takes a lot of pressure away from processing material and from
performing the practical exercises. You are very versatile, which helps
everybody to understand.
Theresa Spencer, Pharmacy Technician/Clinical Trials Researcher, Lethbridge:
I feel renewed and more confident to continue doing sessions on my
practice clients at home. I know the flow will be smoother and now I
can focus more on completing the memorization work invoved for the exam
instead of second guessing some of the techniques. Also having more
focusing tools will be a bonus. A pleasure to be in your class!
Anne Reid, CBP, Kelowna:
After practicing for several months, auditing with Sylvia brought
clarity and answered some important questions that had surfaced during
treatments. The material is presented in a professional manner. Sylvia
has a gift of being professional, personable and approachable. There is
a level of comfort among the students that makes the class very
enjoyable.
Lani Huesken, Bookkeeper/Receptionist/Becoming a future writer/BodyTalk Practitioner/Artist:

so far. I highly recommend the auditing process. You and your class
have re-inspired me. thank you again for being as you are.

in an organized manner that is easy to understand. You are also
friendly and easy going making learning a lot easier.
Bernadette Bourbonnais-Pearson, CBP, Victoria:
Auditing these modules 1 & 2 made all the difference to me. I found
that the gaps or holes that I had missed or misinterpreted or lacked
confidence about were 'misses' on my part and this time around I picked
up on some (I hope most) of these 'misses.' Thanks so much for being a
great instructor and for explaining things so well.
Beverley Irving, Accountant, Calgary:
You make everyone feel like an equal whether they are new to
BodyTalk or not. The presentation of material was easily understood
(not quite so fast to absorb - my problem). It makes the course just
fly by. Keep up the good work.
Irene Khor, Internet Marketer, Singapore:
Sylvia is an exceptional trainer. She presented the training in a very
structured and systematic, yet fun and interactive, manner. She somehow
made "complex" concepts into digestable learnings where we could all
apply the techniques almost immediately. Sylvia was so patient in
explaining complicated topics that made logical and practical sense, as
well as attending to participants questions. Thank you so much!
Nora Rough, Hong Kong:
Wow, what a fantastic course - I truly enjoyed the last 4 days. I am
very thrilled to be given these tools to help heal my friends and
family. The course was presented in a very relaxed environment and was
conducted in a manner that was easy to comprehend. The bullet points
really helped and the many demonstrations were a sure good way for us
to learn. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you again
next year.
Eliane Imstepf, CBP and Instructor Trainee, Tauranga:
Many thanks for Modules 1&2. It was fantastic and a great help

interacting with the group. You are a great teacher.

know this information. I'll be spreading the word to everyone who is
accepting of it. I enjoyed Sylvia's teachings and plan on taking more
training ASAP.
Carol Anderson, LMP, Washington:
Auditing Module 1&2 with Sylvia was such a boost to my
competency. She is a terrific teacher, and practitioner. I am also
grateful for her kind encouragement, and generous guidance.
I will be watching for other opportunities to attend her courses.
Lani Hueskin, Receptionist, Calgary:
Sylvia, you are lovely and gifted. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us so eloquently.

for more. I have taken an incredible amount of knowledge with me. THank
you. See you soon.
Dr. Jennifer Harrison, Certified Ahtletic Therapist, Chiropractor, CBP, Educator, Calgary:
You have a wonderful"logical" way of presenting material. Also your
background knowledge of anatomy & physiology and current energy
emdicine research adds tremendous value to the course.Auditing the
course with you was very beneficial. You're a gifted teacher.
Nancy Tam, Consultant, Somatic Mythologist, Saskatoon:
Sylvia is both generous and gracious in her instructing style. She
teaches from a place of deep understanding and openness to the
learners' process and creates a flexible learning environment that
flows with the process - "Capital P."
Julie Wright, Kamloops:
I will be back to your class again. The information was presented in a manner that I could fully understand. It was super!!
Sue Stangl, Dental Hygienist, Calgary:
Having had a major shift in my health, and the impact it has had on
my life and my family's, BodyTalk has reconnected me to myself. It has
brought me out from the abys of chronic pain physically and
emotionally. It satisfies my love of body physics.

As a former teacher and former massage therapist I feel qualified to
say that Sylvia is one of the best teachers I have ever run across -
Thanks.

know how beneficial it will be for those around me, myself, and my
clients. It all feels very "right." Thank you.
Cheryle Ewachow, Children's Performer, Saskatoon:
The material was concise and easy to understand. Instructor was well
organized and very personable. She was available for questions and
assistance during practice sessions. Workshop was the appropriate
length with appropriate amount of info - theory, and practical. Sylvia
was honest, courteous and very helpful. She made the workshop fun. Her
presence was non-intimidating. She knew her content very well and she
presented the info in a non-boring way. Very good job!
Kimberly Rowland, Student, Angusville:
I really enjoyed the demonstrations of the techniques and protocol.
This made it more clear as opposed to reading it from the text. I also
really liked the stories. They gave me such positive energy that will
help me become successful also. The simplified anatomy lessons and
clear sesson plans were also very informative. The information was
incredibly valuable. Thnk you very much.
Karen Brousseau, Office Manager, Saskatoon:
Thank you for a remarkable four days. This is a modality that is
hard to imagine until experiencing it. I really appreciate how
approachable you are as an instructor and during the practical
sessions. I find the written material is an incredibly useful tool as
it is so understandable. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Gwen Johnson, Holistic Practitioner, Young:
I have taken many courses and have always felt, "yeah, that was good,
but..." I continued to be searching for just the right course.
I have found it! The BodyTalk course has provided me with information and techniques beyond my expectations.
I am also very appreciative of the incredible knowledge our instructor,
Sylvia Muiznieks, had about the anatomy! A very well presented class.
Well done!
T. Dyck Derow, Wellness Therapist, Saskatoon:
This material was easily digested with the gentle and humorous
support of Sylvia. Your stories and experiences will be something I'll
remember for a long time.
I am grateful for your sharing. You delivered material that could otherwise be considered ambiguous - concretely.
Lyn Gray, Saskatoon:
Very down to earth presentation so that I could learn and apply techniques on some esoteric subject matter.
Jeff Brousseau, Physical Therapist, Saskatoon:
Nice easy presentation from Sylvia. Lots of time spent on going over
techniques and any questions. Lots of practical time...We all have
brain drain, but I would be disappointed if I had to leave without it,
as it would mean that not enough info was presented.
Peter Kravchenko, Chiropractor, Teeswater:
The course material was presented clearly and concisely.
Sylvia's passion for the material comes out and holds you for the duration.
Will use this material in my office monday morning.

we had.

thoughtful and inspiring material. I do appreciate your willingness to
answer questions and facilitate discussion.

understandable, workable form. I am so excited to take future courses
with her. She makes me excited to be entering this new world of
BodyTalk. Thanks so much.
Barbara Henderson, Kinesiologist, Kimberley:
Sylvia has an amazing amount of knowledge that goes above and beyond
the requirements of this course. She is able to teach it in such a way
that anybody (with or without) a medical science background is able to
understand and appreciate the depth of the BodyTalk System.
It was a great course and I look forward to her other courses.
Lesley Berndt, Former Teacher, Calgary:
You have magnificent teaching abilities, and are capable of making
authentic connections in a very unassuming way. I enjoyed the modules
being back-to-back, even though it was a great deal of information.
Thanks for sharing your innate wisdom.
Olga Arsenyuk, Holistic Practitioner, Calgary:
Well-organized, logical. Supportive atmosphere.
Yvonne Woloszansky, Teacher/Wholistic Practitioner, Edmonton:

style of instruction.

Sylvia, this was awesome, you're an excellent instructor, you
incorporate fun, you're very organized and your presentation was clear.
Thank you.
Anne Lambert, Owner of The Inner Evolution, Hatha Yoga, Calgary:
Sylvia must have tapped into the innate wisdom of "students". She
presented so much information, that is all so new and not widely known
and/or accepted, in such a simple, concise and easy to learn way. The
knowledge just seemed to flow with ease and grace from her to us. She
is truly a master.
Randy Boucher, Teacher, Calgary:
First of all, thank you for the courses of modules 1 and 2. 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.
It also allows for "grand" learning on an intuitive level that would
probably not happen otherwise. Your sense of humour, and warm demeanor
is awesome!
Marelon Bjorkaes, Healing and Astrology, Cranbrook:
I found the course information fascinating and I expect it to be
very useful in my healing practice. Sylvia made many concepts clear and
easy to understand. She taught a tremendous amount of material in a
calm and relaxed manner, never seeming rushed. Amongst other things,
she makes a great role model for treating clients in a calm manner.
Christina Gutzer, Registered Massage Therapist, Saskatoon:
I really enjoyed the open atmosphere and energy of the space and
the instructor. Sylvia brought humour into the teachings and the
philosophy behind it which made it more absorbable and real.
Janet Arntzen, Massage Therapist & Landscaper, Whitehorse:
I thoroughly enjoyed taking Modules 1 and 2 with Sylvia. Sylvia's
teaching style is engaging and uplifting. She knows how to explain
BodyTalk to any person, whether they are already body workers or have
never explored the systems of the body and its energies. 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. I appreciated that you made
the course your own. Nice integration. You bridged the gap between the
expert and the beginner.
Suzanne Gagnon, Administrative Assistant, Toronto:
Sylvia's knowledge and understanding of the BodyTalk System made
learning very easy and fun. The information was presented in a
systematic way, which flowed according to our innate needs.
Judith Hirst, Computer Technology Consultant, Calgary:
It is always a good idea to take any training from an expert, and
certainly, Sylvia is an expert! Sylvia makes the training lively as she
tells real life stories about treatments as we are learning treatments.
The process is fun and very enlightening as you learn about the body.
Everyone who is interested in caring for their body should take this
course.
Jan Komanchuk, Teacher, Medicine Hat:
Friendly, helpful, personal touch, very appealing and informative.
Joyce Quan, Registered Massage Therapist, Saskatoon:
Your presentation was awesome! Really liked your stories and sense
of humor. You know the material and presented with clarity Ð and you
had answers to all the questions! Keep up the great work!
Stephen D. Stroh, Massage Therapist, Philadelphia:
This course is going to completely change my approach to body work
and help me continue my personal process of growth. You presented the
material the way I needed to hear it. Thanks.
Claire Bramham, Hypnotherapist, Calgary:
I loved everything about this course. It covered so many modalities
and knowledge of different kinds of energy medicine. It was exciting to
learn all of this and it will greatly benefit both myself and those I
come in contact with. Sylvia is a great teacher who made the whole
experience very enjoyable. I look forward to learning more about
BodyTalk in the other modules. Thanks!
Emily Kochur, Registered Massage Therapist, Saskatoon:
I am amazed and excited! I feel better and have more clarity Ð and
new skills! What a bonus! BodyTalk has given me a new perspective!
Thank you Sylvia!
Rick Cotton, Dad and Jack o'All, Calgary:
Sylvia has a strong ability to create a welcoming sense of
community, built on acceptance and compassion. Indeed, words are
insufficient to describe the experience...Joy, wonder, awe, and
humility....will have to suffice for now.
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. She makes herself so available
during and after her classes that one leaves confident in the material.
The information is so practical that one can use the methods the
following week in your office. 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 was
validated, informed, challenged, and allowed to question throughout our
weekend. Even during our lunch breaks she continued to patiently answer
a multitude of BodyTalk related queries - a true teacher. 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!
You made this experience wonderful. Your method of teaching was logical
and therefore easy to follow. The relaxed atmosphere was perfect for
our group. I look forward to future classes and encounters.
Johanna McKenzie, Teacher, Therapist, Farmer, Writer, Brooks:
I loved your personal involvement. I appreciate your patience, your
willingness to repeat. I enjoy your enthusiasm. You demonstrated
unconditional positive regard. Thanks so much, Sylvia.
Colleen Griffin, Chiropractor, Cochrane:
I really like the way the materials were presented. This is my
second time taking Module 2. It not only reenforced my knowledge of the
protocol, but it expanded my understanding of it.
Brenda Miller, Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, Brooks:
This is what I liked about taking a class with Sylvia: everything.
Jackie Sereda, Mom, Rolling Hills:
- Doing demos keeps us into the learning.
- Having us practice on each other a number of times gives me confidence in treating others.
- Making yourself available via the email for questions and support is much appreciated.
- Allowing discussions also expands our minds.
- Can't wait to get at it!
Kathy Chasse, Bookkeeper/Receptionist, Invermere:
I like your approach - Very relaxed, light, able to keep a class
focused, knowledgeable, clear, and lots of examples. I like your added
information, based on your anatomy knowledge.
Ryan Blacker, Oil Fields Operator and Professional Photographer, Lethbridge:
Sylvia is very patient with everyone in the class and very knowledgeable in her teachings.
Amanda Miller, Kinesiology Student, Brooks:
- Very good hands on instruction.
- Also good little tidbits about what comes up commonly.
- Really enjoyed this course Ð I am excited to put it into use.
- Thank-you for being an excellent, approachable instructor!!
- Would be excited to take many other modules from you.
Léon René de Cotret, Journalist, Lennoxville
Pour un septique-scientifique comme moi, le cours m'a doucement
apprivoisé, et convaincu de la "réalité" du BodyTalk: à travers la
pratique, essais-erreure et surtout resultants sur place étonnants et
crédibles. Ouf!
Thérèse Thibault, Spa Owner and Therapist, Valcourt
Je suis très heureuse de suivré ce cours et j'espére m'en servir
beaucoup. Sylvia est super et rend bien le message et tout ce cours.
Félicitations!
Louise Barrette, Nurse Consultant, Montreal
Cette formation BodyTalk répand dans mon coeur une chaleur humaine
incomparable! Contacter subtilement la sagesse infinie innée en nous,
répondre à son expression à travers le corps avec le plus grand respect
et la plus belle authenticité: voilà l'essentiel de l'acquisition de
mes competences avec Sylvia. Merci beaucoup.
Colombe Gauvin, Naturopath, Ste. Adele
It was fun, and because it was fun, I know I will remember more. I
have nothing except that you are great, there was lots of practice and
well explained theory. Thank you for being part of my life.
