Nelson Saturday Market 

Jude Twin and myself can be found at the Nelson Saturday market most weekends having lots of fun together while we share BodyTalk with people. We offer short sessions and free cortices balancing, so come on down and meet us if you are in Nelson, or tell your Nelson friends to come find us.  

BodyTalk Presentation 

Through connections we made at the market, we were also invited to do a talk at 'The LightHouse' this Monday night, where we will teach the cortices and introduce BodyTalk.  

Girls Day Out Expo  

We have an exciting big event this weekend. The Girls Day Out Expo showcases local businesses but is also a fundraiser for local charity. This year that's the Nelson Autism Society. This event is organised by one of our new BodyTalk students, Jackie Tribe. She would like to take the event nationwide, so more on that later! We'll be there with a local crew of CBP's and Students and look forward to bringing you photos and sharing our stories after the event. We are finding some profound shifts can happen in our short BodyTalk sessions!

Animal Access Article from Jane Gruebner 

Animal Access Auckland 22 - 23rd October

Jacquie McIntyre from Australia came over and gave us all an incredible experience. We had animal behavourists, people going on to learn AnimalTalk as well as people who simply wanted to help their pets.

"A very unique and special experience" is how one student described the weekend. It was simply delightful to be in the presence of the animals and feel so connected with them while working with energy, their responses are immediate and obvious. 

The course used to be 1 � days, but the owners did so much processing as well, it has been extended to a full 2 days. Both owners and animals noticed some incredible and immediate shifts, which is great confirmation for the work being done. The animals often stretch, yawn, roll, as they process, so it was fun to observe and feel so engaged in their natural responses!

Learning how to work hands on and off as well as distance work made the course flexible and practical and the students general comments were that it was 'practical, easy to learn and impactful'

All the animals were dogs this time and we also visited and worked with a local horse rescue centre in West Auckland www.totallyhorse.org The responses from the horses were heart rending, as many of them have been through horrendous abuse and neglect. They were all free to roam around us, so we ended up getting love kisses by the horses, being nibbled on and nudged against, as you can imagine being leaned on by a few hundred kilos of horse is special to say the least! We were simply to stand there and allow the horses to process... truly humbling to feel the emotional response and watch the physical response of these beautiful animals.

We are planning on getting Jacquie back to NZ later next year as it was such an inspirational course. Next time we hope to get the SPCA and the Zoo involved  

Jacquie is a highly skilled and sensitive instructor. She is off to South Africa and Borneo next year to work with the wild animals including elephants and orangutangs..wow !! Thank you Jacquie for your love, passion and dedication to the animals and bringing your skills to us.       www.yovelapractice.com
