Headaches so bad you think they’ll never leave? Meet Robin Mayberry, a BodyTalk practitioner who discovered this powerful technique after a single session cured her chronic migraines – a life-changing moment that led her to leave the stress of emergency dispatching behind.
When did you first know that BodyTalk practice was your calling and how did it come about?
I discovered BodyTalk while working as an emergency services dispatcher. The stress of that job led to chronic migraines that I thought I was going to just have to deal with. The migraines left after a single session, and I knew that BodyTalk was the work I was meant to be doing.
What services do you offer?
I offer BodyTalk sessions, which can be done in my office, or over the phone or Zoom. I also offer massage, which pairs nicely with in-person BodyTalk, and Business Matrix sessions, which are a combination of business mentorship and energetic support for the lifeform of your business.
Could you tell us more about BodyTalk and how does it help?
BodyTalk is a conversation with your body to explore the stories beneath your symptoms.
It’s based on two ideas. First, everything in your bodymind is connected. Your sore knee might be stemming from your tendons, your kidneys, an emotional pattern, or your posture, just to name a few. Second, we discover those connections by respectfully talking to the wisdom of the body itself. We do that by using a muscle checking technique to work through a structured protocol of possible connections. It’s a brilliant fusion of left-brain flow chart and right-brain intuition.
Once your body sees the connections, it ignites the healing process.
For example, I just worked with a client who broke her back falling from a hammock. After her emergency care was settled, we did several BodyTalk sessions over the phone. Her body needed to heal circulation, fractured bones, the movement of her spine, and craniosacral flow. Her body also needed to release the fear around the accident, and anger around some life circumstances that were taking up valuable energy. My job was to hold the conversation–not with her mind, but with her body itself. Once her body saw what it needed to do, it did it. She was back to her full life within six weeks of the accident.
Another example: a client had an ulcerated cornea, which is an excruciating and blinding condition. Along with seeing her opthamologist, we did three BodyTalk sessions a few days apart. After the second session she texted to let me know the ulcer had closed up overnight and shrunk in size by half. By the third session her pain was minimal and she could see out of her eye.
And a third: a client had a chronic bladder issue she’d dealt with for years. We discovered that it was holding a memory from her teenage years that was leading to resentment and fear. Once she connected a few dots, her whole body relaxed, and within a few days her bladder started functioning normally.
What does it mean to be a Sourced Leader?
As a Sourced Leader, I’m trained in the coaching and mindset skills it takes to encourage creatives and healers to bring their work into the world. Whether that means starting a business, changing a business, getting a job so you can paint in the evenings, or any other expression, my role is to help my clients navigate the changing landscape of their best lives. I believe the world needs all of the healers and artists, and it needs us right now.
What can a person expect from your sessions?
A session with me is gentle, affirming and kind, but also no-BS. I respect nervous systems. At the end of the session I want my clients to walk away lighter, clearer and on the way to feeling better, whatever that means for them.
What do you love most about your profession?
I am living my calling, and I feel like that calling is creating a small but mighty impact on the world. If each of us were allowed to spend our days living our gifts, how would that transform us all? I am honored and grateful to do work where I get to help people find that out.
