Loss of a child, dealing with grief
I first heard about Lisa through a friend whose son was dealing with a great deal of anxiety. She explained to me a little about 'BodyTalk' and how it had had quite a positive impact on her son and his behaviour. In 2008 I went to see Lisa for the first time because I was going through a difficult time in my life. At 36 weeks pregnant I was told that my baby had a heart problem and that she might not make it. I gave birth to her and she survived a month, but due to complications she passed away. With some time, physically I was healing, but emotionally and mentally I was not coping well.
My sessions with Lisa helped me deal with my loss. Prior to going to her, I could not even speak of what had happened, I would merely shut down. My relationship with my husband was suffering and all I could do was cry. Going to Lisa helped me to release a lot of the guilt and sadness that I was holding onto. With time (and BodyTalk sessions) however, I found myself able to talk about what had happened without breaking down. The sessions were very relaxing and non-intrusive. I was not afraid nor did I dread going, unlike the many other healthcare options out there. Lisa takes the time to listen and to explain what your body needs. She is knowledgeable, approachable and patient; and she helped me in a way that one can only understand after experiencing 'BodyTalk' for themselves.
After the loss of my daughter I vowed that I would never have children again, but Lisa helped me to deal with my emotional pain and I'm happy to share that I did go on to have another baby and Lisa was kind enough to call me up (talk about going over and beyond the call of duty?) after I gave birth to ensure that all had gone well and that I was okay. I am forever thankful to Lisa for her commitment and dedication to what she does.
Although not an instant cure, 'BodyTalk' is a means to connect with your body on a very different level. I have recommended Lisa to friends who have had similar experiences. It's truly amazing what you can learn about your body and its healing powers!

Depression
I was skeptical about BodyTalk at first but I will never stop going because of the positive results I have received. One instance recently, I was in a state where I could not sleep, eat and I was truly on the verge of a major depression. Lisa worked on me and I can say that my body felt at ease at the end of the session. I was able to deal with my emotions calmly and in a way that allowed me to function normally again. I would certainly recommend Lisa to all my friends and family. Many of my friends have also attended sessions with Lisa and they have also recommended her. All I can say is that you have to experience it to believe that it truly works.

Liver enzymes, broken ankle, overall balance
I see Lisa because I was basically fed up with my M.D.'s approach to my health. My Dr.'s remedy for everything was putting me on more and more prescription drugs. Even though I still have to take prescription drugs, since I've been coming to Lisa (about 5 years now), I haven't had to increase a dosage or add a new prescription drug. Once there was a spike in my liver enzyme count and I went to Lisa and after seeing her, it went back to normal. At first the Dr. thought it was because of the medication she had increased, but when I told her that I didn’t take it she was shocked.
I usually schedule an appointment with Lisa about 4 or 5 days before I have to do blood work for my Dr. Through the work that Lisa does, my system is working better and I feel more balanced and settled. I used to dread going to my Dr. but now I can go and not be afraid. A few years ago, I broke my ankle and because of my age the healing process was taking longer than I was hoping, and I went to Lisa for help. Well that was as close to a miracle as I will ever get! I had almost complete mobility after the session and it hasn’t bothered me ever since.
Lisa is one of the kindest, most caring individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She has a way about her that you feel that you can trust her with your most innermost thoughts and feelings. I always look forward to my sessions with her and will continue to have them as part of my health routine.

Stomach pains, emotional balance
I found out about BodyTalk in the fall 2008, when I was volunteering with children. After talking about the process and how it helped out fellow volunteers, it was suggested to me that I try out BodyTalk to work out some of the issues that had occurred in my life. Since I was always a fan of alternative medicine, I figured I had nothing to lose. My life had already drastically changed so much so that I wanted to find my new normal. So I booked an appointment.
I noticed a difference in my health after my first visit with Lisa. My initial concern that we discussed was my constant stomach pains after every meal. After my first session of BodyTalk, I had zero pains after any meal I ate. I didn't change my diet nor did I eat less, but I felt fantastic! I knew from the first appointment that I felt better inside, more balanced, and since I felt this I became more aware of my body. I also began to notice that I didn't catch a cold as often as I used to. Now, if I do catch a cold it lasts only 2 days, unlike before. BodyTalk has also helped me with my emotional life. I feel more confident in myself to move forward in my life in whatever direction it may take. This confidence has also translated into my relationships with the people in my life. I am more open to communication and compromise than I was in the past.
Lisa is a caring, genuine and welcoming person. During my first BodyTalk session, she made me feel safe, never pressuring me to tell her information that I did not feel comfortable sharing. Always with a warm smile and a positive attitude, Lisa creates an environment that promotes holistic wellbeing. Lisa also extends herself beyond the BodyTalk session by being available through e-mail, which shows commitment to her clients’ success.
BodyTalk is different from mainstream healthcare because it combines balancing what is occurring in your life with the effects that show in your body. Therefore, Lisa provides a service that is tailored to your needs. Every BodyTalk session with her evolves around you--what is positive and negative that you believe is occurring in your life at that moment and how she can balance you. I find with mainstream healthcare, you are just a number with symptoms from a textbook and you are rushed out of your doctor’s office because they need to meet their quota for the day. With Lisa and BodyTalk, you are a person with a story whose needs are different from others. Lisa takes the time with you and the one on one environment of a BodyTalk session allows you to work on yourself without the need of medication. You have the choice if you want to continue, and there is no pressure.

Personal awareness, dealing with stress
It was a timely experience to go through a process and realization of how our body, mind soul are all connected. I have spent a lot of time focusing on emotional healing but gave no thought to how my body was affected by stress or difficult circumstances.
It is the connection between the body to our emotions that makes her different. You are releasing and balancing things that have affected your physical body.
Lisa makes you feel at ease as soon as you start speaking with her. She has a calming and inviting spirit and she shows a genuine interest in what you are saying. She is warm and casts no judgments. I would not allow just anyone to work on me but because I trust Lisa, I felt very safe in her hands.

Overall balance
The BodyTalk system has made a huge difference in my state of health and wellbeing. With Lisa’s experience and professional care, I have learned that our body has the full ability to heal and balance itself. Lisa’s gentle and extremely caring manner has given me a better understanding of how my body reacts to everyday stresses, and with Lisa’s gentle, non-invasive techniques, she is able to recognize the areas of energy blockages that require gentle adjustment. Lisa and the BodyTalk system have given me a sense of control and empowerment over my health!

Overcoming fears
I first went to see Lisa Boyd to help me overcome some fears that I was experiencing in my life. After only one session, I immediately felt a change and she helped me to conquer fears that I thought I would never overcome. What a tremendous difference Lisa has made on my life. Thank you Lisa.
IBS, liver enzymes, emotional grief
I met Lisa through my husband. He raved about how much better he felt every time he had an appointment with her. When I retired I decided to go and see her.
At my age, we all have aches and pains and emotional issues. Lisa is very easy to talk to and so insightful, it is scary. She tells you things you can’t believe about yourself.
She cures physical and emotional problems. For me, she has helped cure me of my IBS, neck pain, digestive discomfort, high liver enzymes, and emotional stress when I lost both parents in one year. I always feel great and a little tired when I finish my appointment. You feel so much better as time goes on. Lisa explained to me that the body can heal itself; she merely guides your body to do so.
I highly recommend a visit to Lisa. You won’t regret it and you’ll feel so much better. I’m sure you’ll make visiting her a regular occurrence.

Life stresses, physical injury
My experience with Lisa is a very positive one. She has helped my son through a very hard situation as he was being bullied at school. It was the worst time in our lives - my husband got hurt at work, I had so much family baggage I was dealing with and the last thing we needed was my son being bullied. I can't thank Lisa enough for getting him through that. She helped him understand it was not his fault (it helps when someone else says it). He became more confident and he did not let the bullies get to him, from one time to another he became stronger and more confident. She helped me come to terms with all I've been through, to deal with it, to let go and to go on.
Lisa is a very gentle soul, she makes you feel very comfortable and when she is working on you, you feel very relaxed and peaceful. Lisa is very good at what she does. Try her once and you'll go back. That’s what happened to me.

Emotional, hormonal and digestive issues
One day as I was speaking with my sister and she told me that she had gone to see Lisa a “Bodytalker”. At first I was rather doubtful about it all, as I had never heard of BodyTalk before. But my sister’s enthusiasm and researching the topic made me want to try it out! It was non invasive and worked on my energy, so I saw no harm that it could do to my body. And besides, my sister and her family had benefited from sessions with her. My sister told me that in some of the sessions Lisa was able to help release some past negative thoughts that she was holding onto that now don't bother her anymore! As I believe that many of our behaviors or reactions to situations are determined by what happened in the past, I thought of going!
At that time of my life I was going through a rather complicated period with my family, as well as the sudden lost of my mother, and a great deal of other emotions. My monthly cycle had stopped, I had become very swollen, developed stomach problems, and just didn’t feel well overall. When I first met Lisa, she instantly gained my confidence with the way she presented herself and what she does.
During my first session I had a lot of emotions that were released, things that I never thought were creating so much disharmony in my body. She helped me let go of my worries, anxieties and guilt and rebalanced me. That night I slept like a log, and unbelievably, two days later I got my period. During the next few month, my family situation began to improve, I felt relieved of things that I thought were not issues but were haunting me, and my physical aches that I had discussed with Lisa during the sessions were suddenly reduced.
And now, every time I am back in the country I make a point of going to see Lisa! Her help goes beyond ...

Anxiety, stress, overall balance
I first met with Lisa almost two years ago after a close friend constantly raved about her. I was having difficulty coping with the daily stressors in my life combined with being a student. I was feeling overwhelmed, anxious and hopeless. I thought I would go into my appointment with barriers up, and wouldn’t be able to allow someone to become so intimately involved in the issues I was facing in my life.
The first 5 minutes I began talking to Lisa, I completely broke down in tears. Although I was embarrassed having never met her before, she was extremely comforting, understanding and did not judge me. It was then that I knew that I could truly trust her and open up to her. After my first session, I immediately began to feel better about my situation and myself. Small changes about my thinking process and the way I was beginning to feel physically made a huge difference in my life. Lisa has been able to link the emotional and physical problems I face and with her constant help and support, I have never felt better. I haven’t seen a medical doctor in over a year. This is a huge accomplishment for me, as I have spent many days obsessing over my health. I look forward to every Body Talk session even when I have nothing to say, Lisa always takes good care of me. She is a great listener and truly passionate about helping others. She is a life changer and a healer and I can’t thank her enough for all that she has done. Lisa has opened my eyes to understanding my body, mind, and my soul. I have recommended Lisa to all of my loved ones.

Anxiety, stomach issues
About 2 years ago I began experiencing intense moments of anxiety and frustration that I had a lot of trouble coping and controlling, I would experience crucial pains in my stomach and head. I felt out of touch with my body and I could not understand why I was so out of sync. I realized very quickly I could not control my emotions and felt like an emotional wreck on the loose. I had experienced some very difficult situations and definitely could not handle them properly. My mother was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer in April 2011 and I knew I needed help as soon as possible. My anxiety and emotions had definitely taken over me and my stomach pains had become unbearable. A co-worker had recommended that I seek treatment with Lisa, as she had a great experience with her so I decided that it was worth a try. At this point, I had tried many other venues and options for treatment and didn't achieve even the slightest result.
Upon my first visit with Lisa, I felt a noticeable difference in my anxiety levels, and my attitude towards situations that would normally frighten me. With Lisa, I was able to (and still am able to) work through many problems that I tended to put aside and forget. Through treatments with Lisa, I am able to stay calm in situations I cannot control, I have not felt a single stomach pain and I am able to control my frustration. I take my issues and release them in a more positive manner. Lisa is a very sweet and whole-hearted woman; every session I enjoy being around her as she is a great listener and above all professional. I am always at ease and very comfortable around her. Unlike other modalities of healthcare, BodyTalk really digs deep and finds the root of the problem. Truthfully, I have never felt better in my life. Not only do I feel better physically but emotionally as well. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and her therapies, regardless of your specific issue Lisa is able to shed light on what your body is really trying to tell you.

Emotional difficulty, body pains
Lisa is truly an amazing person. She is dedicated to her work and goes above and beyond for her patients. Her positive energy radiates in every session to create the perfect environment for healing.
In the years that I have been seeing Lisa, I have benefited both emotionally and with my physical health and wellbeing. She has helped me overcome shoulder and back pain as well as dealing with difficult emotional times in my life.
I have recommended a number of family members and friends to Lisa, and all of us are happy, as we truly believe in what she does.

Severe Anxiety
BodyTalk has changed my life! I had been suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks for many years and had lost hope that anything other than medication would help cure me. I began seeing Lisa about a year ago and she has truly transformed my life! Her extensive knowledge of what she does as well as her kind, gentle and intuitive nature have already enabled me to begin living a more fulfilled and balanced life. BodyTalk has not only assisted me in dealing with my current life stressors, but has also allowed me to effectively deal with issues that arise on a day-to-day basis. I have recommended Lisa to many people and will continue to do so as I believe in her work. BodyTalk has reshaped the course of my life and I will continue to seek Lisa’s assistance to keep me balanced in the future.

Depression
I was having problems with depression and it was suggested that I try a new system called BodyTalk and Lisa Boyd was recommended as the person to talk to.
I met this charming little lady, who listened and for the first session, I just seemed to talk. Although she had some previous knowledge of me, she was so thorough as well as kind in getting me to talk. Then she had me rest and she did her "BodyTalk thing".
The first time after her treatment my body reacted and as we progressed my body continued to positively respond. I'm now proud to say that I am a much more confident person within myself and able to cope with life's situations as they are given to me.
There was no mention of medication given, but just conversation and her use of energy work on my body that needed gentle attention, which she gave willingly and lovingly.
We have become fast friends as well as practitioner and patient and my mind and body are much more receptive to live generally.
As an 84-year-old "working" lady, I am still able to go to work, and rest and cope as needed.
I thank Lisa for all her kindness and love in helping me "get my act together".

Anxiety, life stresses
Since 2010, I have been seeing Lisa for BodyTalk. This has made a great difference in my health and made my system stronger. She has also helped me a lot with my anxieties that I have dealt with throughout my life. She pinpoints what causes these situations on a deeper level going back in the years to certain events, giving me the reasons why my body is reacting in response to the way I feel.
Lisa is such a caring, pleasant, and professional lady. She is always willing to help whenever needed, and even when I have a question, I can e-mail her with any concerns and she responds. When I'm at my appointments, she talks me through the session telling me what she is doing. She makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed during each session.
I believe in BodyTalk and it is so much different than other health systems because it’s all natural, harmless and works deeper than all of the drugs that doctors prescribe that have side effects. But most importantly, you begin to know your body and how strong it is to heal itself with the system of BodyTalk.
I have been blessed to meet a wonderful lady like Lisa.
Thank you and continue your great work.

Stresses of life, muscle pain
I originally came to Lisa because I was looking for an alternative to a traditional chiropractor. My shoulders were so tight, and I felt like I needed to see a chiropractor, but was not keen on the traditional treatments that would be commonly used. A friend suggested that I might want to try BodyTalk.
I liked it immediately because it is non-invasive, and does not involve traditional chiropractic movements. It is a gentle approach, and involves no pain or forced adjustments. Lisa "reads" the body, and then adjusts both physical and emotional imbalances. Most of the time, as she explains what my body is "saying", it makes sense to me. What she explains is often how I have been feeling. On arrival, I would give Lisa my physical and emotional symptoms, and then she starts the process. The body will reveal what it wants at the time.
I feel that BodyTalk has enabled me to withstand more of the stress of life than I have ever been able to handle before. This has been very encouraging. I also think that is has improved my level of confidence, and enabled me to function more effectively in life.
I look forward to my treatments with Lisa. Not only does her treatment make me feel better physically and emotionally, she is also a very pleasant person. Her caring and warm demeanor always brighten my day.
- Cathy
Emotional trauma, daily stresses
Lisa is a great listener, for you and most importantly your body. She has helped me through physical discomforts that developed after personal grief, emotional traumas and daily stresses. Without my monthly visits, my body would still be in knots of pain - pain that I would not be able to decipher why it's there in the first place! Thank you for listening, Lisa, for without you, my body would still be yelling, yet no one would be able to hear.
- S. N.
Anxiety, digestive issues
Prior to visiting Lisa, I was going to my medical doctor to deal with my anxiety and digestion problems. My doctor only prescribed me medication, which only appeared to mask or cover up my symptoms but never dealt with the root of my health issues. My problems kept reoccurring and the symptoms never went away completely. It wasn't until I saw Lisa that I noticed that my symptoms were not coming back. Lisa's method and approach made me feel like I was getting a 360 degree perspective on my health - she got to the core of my problems. After seeing Lisa, I now live anxiety free! She has helped me so much. Her caring manor made it easy for me to talk to her about my health issues. Walking out of Lisa's office, I always feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Stomach issues, headaches, stress
I went to see Lisa as I was referred to her by family and friends who praised her and what she was able to accomplish with them to heal ailments, the body and the soul. I was in a place in my life that I was experiencing body issues that included and weren't limited to problems with my stomach, digestion, headaches, extreme fatigue, and work related stress.
What a difference this has made in my health, emotional life, relationships, etc.
Prior to seeing Lisa, I had went to see medical doctors, health stores, and other individuals in the same practice as Lisa. I did not see results and I was continuously being advised to try a variety of medications. Lisa was able to figure out the underlying cause of the problems. She was able to remedy my issues through her patience, genuine care and concern, her expertise and knowledge.
Lisa is amazing at what she does. Her genuine caring and knowledge was key to helping me get better and get closer to living a normal life again. She has a wealth of experience and expertise that is reassuring and helpful to the healing process.
Lisa is different from other healthcare systems as she finds the root cause of the issue and deals with that in order to cure the issue. This is different than other system that will encourage antibiotics or other harsh remedies that mask the issue rather than healing it. Lisa will cater her work to you and the issue at hand and hence, treatments are very individual to your body's needs.

Overcoming fears
...I just wanted to say thank you and wanted to let you know that you have helped me in so many ways, and have helped me overcome most of my fears. Not a day goes by without thinking about everything you've done for me and how grateful I am. I just wanted to say thank you for all the kindness you have given me...

Overall balance
Lisa Boyd has treated me since she joined the Scott Health Centre. Lisa is very caring and warm. She always gets to the heart of any problems that I have, and knows instinctively how to balance my body. After each treatment I feel very relaxed and in tuned. I highly recommend Lisa Boyd and I feel very strongly that she is a natural healer.

Fears, phobias, muscle pain, skin rash
Lisa has been a source of strength and support for my family and myself since 2008. When I first met Lisa I felt an immediate sense of warmth and trust. She has helped me with many emotional issues through her energy work and counseling. She has also helped me with physical ailments as well, especially my sciatica and teeth pain. She even helped me overcome my severe phobia of flying. I never thought I would be able to fly without fear, but now I do!
Whenever something comes up the first person I think of contacting for help is Lisa, and she is always there for me. One of the most important things she did for my youngest daughter was to help her get over some debilitating fears. She has grown into a more confident and stronger teenager. Lisa has helped my mother with her arthritis pains, my son with his skin rashes, food sensitivities and sleep, as well as my other daughter with various health concerns.
There are no limits to what Lisa can do and I believe in my heart that Lisa is gifted at what she does. I tell everyone I can about her healing abilities!
Thank you for everything.

Emotional and behavioural issues, overall health
I first went to see Lisa Boyd about five years ago because I was frustrated with the medical system. My family doctor ordered several tests and scheduled many specialist appointments to address concerns I was having physically. After everything came back negative, my doctor basically told me that I needed to see a psychiatrist and take anti-depressant medication. I felt wholeheartedly that my concerns could be addressed differently and that is when I turned to Lisa and BodyTalk.
At first, I was skeptical and it was difficult for me to wrap my head around this new philosophy of “medicine”. However, over time I have learned so much that I could not imagine life without BodyTalk (and German New Medicine). It combines the benefits one would ordinarily receive from a medical doctor, a psychiatrist or therapist, a chiropractor, and a naturopath all in one practice. A session with Lisa is so much deeper than just a band-aid, hypnosis, or an adjustment. She helps a person to identify the true cause of what he or she may feel physically and addresses it so that the mind and body help each other heal.
BodyTalk has changed my life in so many positive ways. I owe this positive change in part to the philosophy of BodyTalk, but most importantly to Lisa’s incredible gift to practice this philosophy. She is a very skilled BodyTalk Practitioner, and I am in awe of her knowledge of and passion for this field of study. Lisa truly cares about her clients and is always available through email or a phone call if she is not in her office. She has a teaching background as well and I find that to be an asset in her ability to touch children. I have so much confidence in her abilities that my whole family now comes to see Lisa.
I initially brought my daughter to see Lisa because she was having issues dealing with some of her classmates at school and she often was unhappy. Through her many sessions, Lisa realized how much my daughter absorbed and took on other peoples’ emotions. She was holding on to these emotions and it was causing her to get sick with nasal congestion, coughs, and to have nightmares. Eventually, Lisa was able to pinpoint many of the causes and treat them with Body Talk and natural remedies.
I brought my son to see Lisa for several different reasons. Although he would often have physical symptoms such as a croup cough, he also had behavioural symptoms like impulsivity, agitation and an inability to sit still. Lisa was able to identify several reasons for these physical symptoms and behaviours, from his fear of separation from me that he experienced at birth to his anger toward his dad from being gone so much for business travel.
Both of my children have seen Lisa regularly for approximately the last two years and have shown improvement in their ability to handle several emotionally challenging situations. They also have been much healthier, with fewer colds, illnesses and injuries. Neither one of my children has had to visit a medical doctor for anything other than a physical for almost a year and a half now. They too have embraced the benefits of Body Talk and have begun to talk natural remedies now, not antibiotics or over-the-counter medicine. It is truly amazing.
Body Talk will change your life forever, as it has mine in so many ways.
