BodyTalk is a therapy, one that I’d always dismissed as woo-woo medicine. How could talk treat a physiological ailment? But – and it’s a big but – I have friends who swear by it, friends who aren’t woo-woo at all, who are grounded, competent, common-sense women.

“It feels a bit like your body has been defragmented, put back together again,” one such friend told me. “Things ‘fit better’ afterwards.”

I liked the idea of that – of being undone and put back together again. So, with that in mind, I attended my first remote (isn’t everything these days?) session with Angie Tourani, who is in Hong Kong.

Tourani trained in BodyTalk when her children were young. “I was tired of giving them antibiotics for recurring ear infections which were compromising my daughter’s hearing,” she said. When doctors recommended surgery to install tubes to prevent infections and hearing loss, she looked for a natural, non-invasive alternative.

Equipped with the fundamentals of BodyTalk, Tourani started practising on her family – and their health improved dramatically, she says. She has now been practising it for 15 years and teaching it for over 10.

Tourani describes BodyTalk as a holistic therapy grounded in the belief that living organisms have the capability to heal themselves more effectively than technology can. “It combines elements of both Eastern and Western medicine to facilitate personal healing and growth,” she says.
