Infinite Bodytalk is dedicated to offering holistic healing and wellness services, specializing in Bodytalk, Reiki, and Mindfulness Sessions. Our primary focus is on supporting children with autism and their families, as well as assisting individuals—both women and men—who are dealing with stress-related issues.
My journey in this field is driven by a deep passion for serving others, which has been a guiding force throughout my career. I have authored a book titled “Childhood Autism,” available on Amazon, where I share insights and strategies drawn from my extensive experience.
With over 25 years as a Certified Reiki Master Teacher, 20 years as a Certified Bodytalk Practitioner, 16 years as a Certified Bodytalk Access Trainer, and 14 years in Mindfulness practice, my commitment to holistic health and the well-being of my clients remains unwavering. It is my privilege to contribute to their healing journey, leveraging the depth of my expertise and the breadth of my certifications to facilitate profound transformations.

Bodytalk is a holistic therapy developed by John Veltheim that integrates the wisdom of various healing traditions and disciplines. It encompasses elements from Western medical science, Vedic and Chinese medicine principles, and osteopathic and chiropractic techniques. The essence of Bodytalk lies in its ability to tap into the body’s innate wisdom, identifying imbalances across all levels—physical, emotional, and energetic.
Could you share more information about the Reiki Sessions you provide?
I am pleased to offer both in-person and long-distance Reiki sessions. My journey with Reiki began in 1994 when I completed my Level 1 training, and by 1999, I had advanced to become a Reiki Master Teacher. My passion for Reiki is twofold: I cherish the opportunity to conduct sessions and deeply enjoy integrating healing crystals into the practice, a skill I further honed through Crystal Reiki Master Teacher training.
Each session lasts 60 minutes, during which I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment for my clients. This includes ensuring the space is trauma-informed, a practice supported by my training in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention and CPR, particularly from my experience working with individuals exhibiting severe and violent behaviors in a school board setting.
To foster a calming atmosphere, I always play relaxing music in the background. Prior to the session, clients are asked to fill out health and wellness forms to tailor the experience to their specific needs. My goal is to establish a deep connection with each client, providing a space that supports healing and well-being.
How do you personalize a group session to address individual needs within the collective setting?
I am passionate about delivering group workshops tailored to various organizations, with a particular focus on stress relief. My experience spans conducting intimate workshops for small groups of 10 or more participants to facilitating large-scale sessions for up to 250 individuals. Although I have a rich history of leading in-person workshops, the shift towards virtual platforms like Zoom has become more prevalent in recent years.
In all my stress relief workshops, I integrate a blend of Reiki, mindfulness, meditation, and Bodytalk to create a comprehensive healing experience. This holistic approach ensures that while addressing the collective needs of the group, individual well-being is also nurtured.
For more personalized engagement, I conduct group Bodytalk sessions, available both in-person and remotely via Zoom. To cater to the diverse interests and needs of participants, I present several topics for them to choose from, allowing the session to be more customized to their preferences.
Furthermore, I facilitate group Reiki sessions, which are offered both in-person and online. Typically, these sessions are centered around specific themes, such as stress relief, requested by the group. This thematic focus enables me to tailor the session to address the collective interest while ensuring each participant’s individual needs are met within the group setting.
What are some common misconceptions about BodyTalk and Reiki, and how do you address them in your practice?
BodyTalk and Reiki are distinct energy medicine modalities, each with its unique approach to facilitating healing through consciousness and energy.
BodyTalk is a consciousness-based healthcare approach that utilizes muscle testing to communicate with the body’s innate healing wisdom. This method allows us to identify and prioritize what the body, mind, spirit, and soul require at any given moment, addressing imbalances directly at their root causes. BodyTalk operates on multiple levels, including epigenetics and the 8th chakra, which encompasses family and environmental influences, trauma, and childhood issues. Despite clients completing a health and wellness form, the treatment is always guided by the body’s own wisdom, ensuring a personalized healing journey. It’s important to note that BodyTalk complements conventional Western medicine, enhancing the healing process.
Reiki, on the other hand, is an energetic healing modality that channels universal life force energy to promote balance and well-being within the body. During a Reiki session, energy is directed through my hands either above or lightly on the body, depending on the client’s comfort level. This gentle energy flow can address imbalances across all levels, offering particular benefits in reducing anxiety, including among children on the autism spectrum. Clients often find Reiki sessions to be exceptionally relaxing, peaceful, and calming. Like BodyTalk, Reiki is also complementary to Western medical treatments.
Addressing misconceptions in my practice involves educating clients about the principles and benefits of each modality. I emphasize the compatibility of these therapies with conventional treatments and their ability to provide a holistic approach to wellness, addressing not only physical symptoms but also underlying emotional and energetic factors.
