Jennifer Becker, Owner
B.Sc.PT., B.Sc.Kin.
Jennifer's background in Kinesiology and Physiotherapy have created a solid foundation upon which she builds her current practice. Since the beginning of her career, her views on health and healing have continually evolved. She values the importance and relevance of thoughts, belief systems, attitudes and emotions in the contribution towards physical injury, illness and disease. Because of this dynamic interplay, Jennifer believes that no two physical presentations involve the same precipitating factors and thus treatment should be personalized to reflect these differences.
Jennifer also works closely with individuals seeking treatment for
emotional and stress related issues. With the accumulation of daily
pressures and the burden of life's responsibilities it is easy for people to feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Jennifer helps to renew a sense of peace and calmness to these individuals in order for them to be in a better position to recognize and enjoy the gifts life has to offer. Additionally, Jennifer will often work with people who have no major life issues or presenting complaints but simply want to improve their lives, enjoy life to the fullest and prevent any health complications from arising in the future by resolving issues as they present themselves on a day to day basis.
Using her scientific background and experience as a platform, Jennifer combines her additional skills in BodyTalk, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki and Energy Therapy to create a personalized, blended treatment approach while encouraging balance and healing on all levels.
Although Jennifer will often blend her treatment approach, she is also open to treating people who wish to explore one specific avenue of treatment as she respects the bodymind's innate wisdom in knowing what it needs to heal itself.

Testimonials
“The treatment really changed me profoundly. I can't really describe it, but I left feeling not like the person that walked into your office, but rather someone who was awakening to full potential.” J.M.
“I had an ear infection all Fall. I was exhausted all the time. The infection perforated my eardrum and my ear was leaking fluids. I was sent to a "rhinology endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeon". He sent me for Ct Scan and hearing tests expecting that it would tell him what type of surgery I would need. In the meantime, I went to Jen for BodyTalk and Craniosacral Therapy treatments. She did her "magic" and by the time all the test results were back (about 2 months), the fluid was all gone, the hole in my eardrum had healed and I did not require any surgery or conventional medical treatments. I've had ear infections and problems with my hearing since I was 18 months old. Until BodyTalk and Craniosacral Therapy, I always felt like there was water in my ears, now they feel clear. Jen's varied specialties allowed her to tailor treatments for a full recovery.” A.T.
“In my opinion the BodyTalk and Craniosacral therapies have been my saving grace and one way to stay away from strong meds. I still do have my down days but not even close to the pain I had before I met Jenn.” D.P.
“After our session I had one of the finest days of my life. All the internal stress had melted away and I felt overpowering joy and love. It was incredible.” GL

Angela Barclay
CBP, BSc, BEd, MCS
Certified BodyTalk Practitioner
When Angela first came to The BodyTalk Centre about 3 years ago, the BodyTalk system instantly resonated with her and she realized a career in energy medicine was in her future. At the same time she continued to overtax herself in a job her heart was no longer in, and her body, mind and spirit soon demanded she walk away from work, rest and reflect. On a highly restorative year-long hiatus she took up meditation and made the exciting transition from being BodyTalk client to BodyTalk practitioner.
She credits chiropractic medicine, mindfulness meditation and, most notably, BodyTalk with recalibrating her stress threshold, dealing with digestive and hormonal turmoil, rendering her migraines and right-side numbness virtually nonexistent and, most importantly, helping her rediscover her confident and compassionate nature. This has allowed her to return to part-time teaching and appreciate the loving essence of the teenagers she works with.
In addition to joining us with a lot of personal faith in the BodyTalk paradigm, Angela is a lifelong learner who brings a strong academic background to the table. Her first degree in Family Studies provides important insights into the family matrix, active memory and emotional release work she does.
Her second degree in Education, and twenty years in the public school system, contribute significant understanding about learning disabilities and emotional and behavioural disorders and have resulted in Angela's desire to treat these issues in a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical way.
Her third degree, a Masters in Communications, taught her how to make complicated connections and solidified her love of story, symbolism and metaphor. These skills help her to make deep and meaningful connections for clients.
In addition to being passionate about practicing BodyTalk with people of all ages, Angela is a talented AnimalTalk practitioner who would love to do sessions with your companion animals.
She is available many afternoons, evenings and week-ends and is a professional member of the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada which will allow most clients to claim their sessions through medical insurance.
Angela sees the ultimate goal of BodyTalk as coming back to our true selves and invites you to join her on a transformational journey.

Testimonials
I’ll have to admit, I have always been sceptical about this sort of healing, and I viewed it as “Hocus Pocus.” I have been diagnosed with arthritis. It’s extremely painful and I’ve lost complete mobility of my thumbs and other fingers. I’ve been taking 8-10 Aspirin per day for the last 2 years. I recently was to a specialist and was told nothing could be done except suffer. Willing to try alternatives for relief, I started BodyTalk sessions with Angela. After two sessions, the pain has reduced 95% and I’ve gained back complete mobility of my hands. This is important because I’m a musician. I no longer take any Aspirin. It was like a miracle. I would encourage anyone with chronic pain, or other health problems to consider this treatment. It works. I’m now a believer 100%.

In conjunction with her work in the health care field, she also ventured on a path of self-growth and evolution which eventually led her to the powerful mind-body modality of Belief Re-patterning.

Testimonials
"BodyTalk sessions with Bev are the cornerstone of
the most profound and transformational spiritual awakening
process of my life. After some 15 years and enough money
for a small mortgage spent doing the health care shuffle,
chasing the elusive “cure” to a host of chronic
diseases and inner malaise, I thankfully encountered Bev
and BodyTalk. My sessions have been fundamental to the
amazing physical, mental and spiritual “results”,
while facilitating a growing sense of peace that now accompanies
me on the awakening journey.”

Heather Orton
Heather is a crystal healer, a certified Reiki practitioner and a certified Reflexologist. She is currently studying at the Wild Rose College of Natural Healing in the pursuit of a Wholistic Therapist Diploma.
Heather first became interested in holistic therapies when she began experiencing some health problems of her own. After two years of medical tests and different medications Heather became frustrated with her lack of progress and thus turned to alternative medicines. After receiving frequent reflexology and reiki treatments, within one month Heather’s health had returned to normal. Amazed by the sudden improvements, Heather dedicated herself to learning more about alternative healing methods and the importance of focusing on healing the root of the problem, rather than the symptoms. During her work she has also discovered the strong spiritual connections tied to the healing process and thus the importance of maintaining the health and well being of the body, mind and soul.
Heather is a kind and energetic person dedicated to helping others improve their health in a safe and comfortable manner. She likes to work both intuitively and closely with her clients to determine the areas of need and how best to facilitate the healing process.

Testimonials
“I recently received a very powerful reflexology treatment from Heather. I definitely felt the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I had a significant release on the top of my foot which had been plaguing me with pain for about three months. Apparently, it was connected to some emotional heart charka issues for me. Since my treatment it has not bothered me at all. Much gratitude to you Heather.”
