‘Body talk’ is a form of natural medicine meant to re-synchronize the body’s energy systems and has been available at the clinic for about a month.
“There is no treatment and there is no diagnosis, which sounds kind of odd but in body talk basically it’s what we call the innate wisdom of your body,” says body talk practitioner Jocelyn Pulchny.
“For example, if you cut your finger and put a band-aid on it, the band-aid is not healing the finger—the innate wisdom of your body is,”
During a session she checks in with a person’s innate wisdom through biofeedback muscle testing asking a series of yes or no questions. Pulchny can locate imbalances throughout the body by doing this. Then comes a tapping process on the head and sternum she says helps “wake up the brain.”
Pulchny said everybody can benefit from body talk and encourages people to come in and discover how the body can heal itself on all levels for most things.

One of the first questions people ask is ‘will you make me cluck like a chicken’, and it doesn’t work like that. - Hypnotherapy counsellor Gayle Allen
“One of the first questions people ask is ‘will you make me cluck like a chicken’, and it doesn’t work like that,” Allen said. “The main thing to focus on is the fact it’s not hocus pocus, it’s a serious clinical tool.”
She describes hypnosis as akin to meditation, saying it can be used to treat a variety of problems including ADHD, allergies, anxiety, bedwetting, cancer, compulsive disorders, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, nail biting, and sleep disorders.
