Your body’s innate wisdom wants to talk, and Lorraie Marks is the woman to listen. Following an extreme motorcycle accident that left her facing the prospect of an amputated leg, Lorraie turned to alternative therapies and her own natural intuition. She then astounded all her doctors by recovering and regaining use of her leg. Now, she brings that experience to bear on her Body Talk practice—a combination of psychotherapy and shiatsu.
Marks uses personal insight and principles of kinesiology to get to the real cause of complaint. Unrecognized emotions and memories can be held in muscles and joints, creating physical pain displaced to elsewhere in the body. (Think “ankle pain equals repressed guilt in the lower back.”) Marks finds these issues through her questioning, and whatever is out of place is addressed by gentle tapping on the head and sternum to disrupt the detrimental thought pattern. The idea is that the practitioner is teaching the body to re-balance itself and engage in a new consciousness.

Marks operates from the Body Centre on Ivy Rd (297-3700) and sessions are $70 per hour by appointment. She says benefits are apparent after just one session, although complex issues require a longer process that Marks likens to peeling away the layers of an onion.
