Conscious Preconception is a journey like no other. It is a journey of connection and healing.

Whether you’re just thinking about having a baby, have been trying to conceive for years, or have had trouble carrying a pregnancy to term, Support and healing is here for you. You are here because you long for a child. You want to heal and optimize your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing so that you can conceive and birth this new little being and give them the best start to this new life possible.

BodyTalk can help you heal the physical issues, address the emotions, trauma and stress and create the communication needed for a successful conception, healthy pregnancy and a conscious birth. To get to the root cause of the issue – vs forcing pregnancy with artificial reproductive technology (ART)- at a fraction of the cost.

The one thing I have discovered over the years working with clients struggling to conceive is that their journey is there for a reason. The struggle is communication of something deeper.
Sometimes it’s simple. Basic stress with work or in the relationship that is asking to be resolved. Often there are deeper fears or limiting beliefs that you may not be a good parent or won’t be able to keep a child safe in this harsh world. Resistance to letting your career or your body go. Unresolved trauma and emotional pain could be experienced as physical symptoms that impair the cycle. Or your own, generational, or past life trauma surrounding pregnancy and birth. You have a unique story. I can help you uncover and resolve it.

BodyTalk is great for the entire family.

The best gift we can give our children is our own happiness because they will mirror that. If we are stressed they feel it. If the stress is a distraction that takes away our ability to be focused and attached to them then we wire them to feel they are only worth our time when sick or in distress or behaving badly.. conditioning them to be sick or ill-behaved is of benefit to them. Dr. Gabor Mate says all behaviour problems are attachment problems. I’ve seen that dynamic shift as I repaired my attachment relationship with my son and his behavioural problems have melted away. Which I was only able to do by addressing my issues in relating to others and how emotionally shut down I was. I continue to do extensive work through the issues that impair my ability to have strong relationships so that I can help my kids and myself to be happy.

A huge benefit of regular treatments for parents is we can work to disconnect from your past traumas, patterns and limitations. We want to parent better than we were parented but we can only do what we know and what our parents mirrored for us. We carry on the patterns of our parents until we do the work to break them. Our issues of self-esteem, confidence, emotional competency, unhealthy relationship patterns. whatever issues we each carry are mirrored by our children.

BodyTalk can bring up the root causes of why we feel unloveable or chronically angry- releasing whatever walls we built-up around ourselves. We can address the issues around self esteem, body image, confidence, emotional expression, intimacy, and dysfunctional patterns etc. that are not serving you. BodyTalk can help you to break them down so that you don’t pass those habits and patterns on to your children.. disconnecting from the generational traumas and patterns.

I offer distance distances where I can work with multiple members in the same appointment. This a cost-effective and easy way to check in and treat the whole family regularly. 60, 90 or 120-minute sessions are available.
60 minutes gives time to work with the "Family Matrix", one adult or 2 children. 90 minutes is enough time to work with one adult and one child, a "matrix session" plus some individual work or 3 children together. 120-minutes is enough time for 2 adults, 1 adult+ 2 children or an in-depth "family matrix" session.

What is a Family Matrix Session?
Everything is energy. Each person has a unique energy signature and as multiple people come together as in a family, team or workplace they create a group 'matrix' combining their energy signatures together.
Think of it this way: You have a family living in a house. The health and strength of the house will depend on the individuals in it. If a person is messy it will impact the 'health' of the house or matrix. The health of the house itself can impact the health of the individuals in it. If the house has mold it can make each individual sick. You could work with each member to help them heal but if you don't get the root cause - the mold in the house they will stay sick. This then will heal the symptoms in the family members and the family dynamics will become healthier as a result.
You may have already guessed that the house in the example above is only a metaphor. The house is really the energetic body representing the dynamics within a group. This group can be a family with or without children, a business organization, a sports team or any other group of people connected in a certain way. Sometimes the most effective way to improve the dynamics within a group is by going to the root of the problem and healing the "house", i.e. the energetic body of the group as a whole.

BodyTalk is a process that combines principles from many healing modalities, both ancient and new, into an integrated form that works with our own body’s healing mechanisms. These principles include acupuncture, Chinese medicine, yoga, kinesiology, psychology, physiology and Energy Medicine, to name a few.

BodyTalk just needs to be experienced to be understood.

Joanne integrates BodyTalk with her expertise in Emotional Freedom Technique, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, exercise science (BSc.Kinesology), yoga, personal training/wellness coaching, with special interest in conscious parenting, fetal consciousness/fetal bonding, fertility, pregnancy, birth, child development including infant sleep.

1:1 services for Adults.
BodyTalk Sessions In-Person, Virtual/Online or Distance Recorded sessions. Plus Personalized exercise/yoga/self-care programs and private yoga.

BodyTalk addresses you as a whole- body, mind, spirit and how your environment, relationships, and emotions impact you. If we don’t fully process our experiences or emotions, they are expressed by the body as physical symptoms, illnesses, reactivity, anxiety, depression, and a myriad of other ways. Healing comes from within oneself, but sometimes we need some help to find our way.

What is your body trying to tell you?
BodyTalk is a process that combines principles from many healing modalities, both ancient and new, into an integrated form that works with our own body’s healing mechanisms. These principles include acupuncture, Chinese medicine, yoga, kinesiology, psychology, physiology and Energy Medicine, to name a few.

Our body already knows how to heal itself, however, our lives tend to be very stressful and we tend to reach a tipping point where we no longer have the resources for our bodies to rejuvenate and heal. Stress (or the stories of our lives) causes the nervous system to switch into ‘high alert’ mode. This is a healthy response, at first. However, our body needs time to rest and recover and without this, miscommunication within the Body/Mind can occur and can develop into illness and disease if not dealt with.

BodyTalk helps the body to recover from stress by recognizing the areas of the body/mind that need to be focused upon first. These may be physical, emotional, and/or mental. For example, areas in our body where we hold our emotions, patterns in our behaviour that are limiting our potential, physical aches and pains, thought patterns that affect decision-making, or past experiences that we can’t let go of, can be sources of stress. Once these areas are perceived, gentle techniques are implemented to highlight areas where there is a lack of communication. This focuses the nervous system and immune system to bring the Body/Mind out of emergency mode so that natural healing processes can resume. When your body communicates, it can heal itself! BodyTalk facilitates this process, enabling lasting patterns of good health.

Joanne integrates BodyTalk with her expertise in Emotional Freedom Technique, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, exercise science (BSc. Kinesiology), yoga, personal training/wellness coaching and so much more as individually indicated.

5, 8 or 12 Prepaid session Packages and Monthly 12-session pay-as-go packages options are available.

Personalized Self-Care Programs
Joanne uses her background in Yoga, Kinesiology and BodyTalk to assess your range of motion, physical imbalances and limitations and health history to create a personalized yoga/exercise home program that is specific to your needs. Your body/mind knows exactly what it needs to optimize its well-being. Available in-person or virtually.

Helping your Children Has Never Been Easier.
Sessions for Children and Youth 18 and Under. In-person, Virtual or Distance sessions.

BodyTalk is safe, effective and non-invasive. Best of all, It’s so easy!

Remote sessions are the preferred way of treating children under 10. I simply treat myself as a surrogate and email you an audio file summarizing what was addressed. You listen to it when you have time. No need to make our schedules match or to pack kids out of the house with your already crazy schedule. So easy, yet so effective.

Examples of Issues treated for children:

* Not meeting milestones for development, movement, speech, learning etc * Breastfeeding issues* Potty training and bed wetting * Sleep issues * Fears, Phobias * Allergies and Intolerances * immune issues *Aggression * behaviour issues * Over attachment and clinginess *Trouble transitioning to daycare/school etc *Transitioning to a new sibling* Processing separation/divorce * Family dynamics * Trauma * Self-esteem * Weight management * School/Sports performance and anything else life brings your way.

I have had tremendous success treating neurological issues including epilepsy and tics in children

Welcome to a proven method for alleviating the pain, fear and frustration that comes with bedtime parenting.

I help parents experience greater confidence, increased satisfaction in their relationships, and a deepened bond with their child. We will not get your child sleeping through the night at any cost, but we will get you all sleeping better, feeling happier and experiencing greater peace overall.

I teach the science behind infant/maternal sleep and with this information, I help you to develop the tools needed to create balance around those facts to get sleep for the whole family. I hold space for mothers and partners to follow their instincts when it comes to their new baby, to encourage attachment which sets the stage for optimal brain development. I bring a tear-free approach to helping new (and not so new) parents find sleep solutions they can feel good about..
