Most people will require at least 4~5 sessions to allow the body and mind to heal in a sustainable way. If you are looking to do deep Somatic trauma integration work and/or to shift more chronic physical, mental/emotional patterns, 10 sessions are recommended, and will change life dramatically. Once balance is restored to the body and mind, maintenance sessions help to support our nervous system and energy systems humming and attuned to their optimal state of health and well-being.
Jaya likes to see new clients once a week for 3 weeks whenever possible, in order to help to integrate introductory changes to the nervous and energy systems sustainably. After the first few sessions, you can discuss your treatment plan with her to get more clarity on what is required to reach your health goals.
To allow for the greatest amount of growth and support, Jaya offers sessions in 1-2 and 3-6 month containers. These packages give you the option to have your (4) to (8) sessions spread out over a weekly or bi-weekly basis for the duration of that container.

Online sessions are available by Doxy.me and have the same results as in-person sessions. Many people enjoy doing online work because it allows them to relax in their own space and fully integrate following their sessions.
Dr. Don Pilipovich, Auccupuncturist, RMT and former BodyTalk Instructor, as well as two Doctors from the Centre of Biofield Sciences in Pune, India completed a study on BodyTalk energy therapy distance sessions. They measured real-time changes in the human energy field via photographs taken before and after distance sessions.

In addition, Dr. Laura Stuve, molecular biologist, two colleagues from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and Dr. Janet Galipo, Dr. of Chinese Medicine, led a study on the efficacy of BodyTalk distance sessions in the treatment of chronic pain. The evaluation of these sessions suggests that it significantly improved pain levels, as well as fatigue and other emotional symptoms associated with long-term chronic pain.
The following evaluation was published in the Journal of Pain Management 2015, vol. 7, #4, pp. 279 – 290, which you can read by clicking here: BT Chronic Pain Evaluation.

What to expect during your sessions
Strengthening, building from within
Jaya meets each person with curiosity about what has led them to where they are on their healing and vitality journey, and how she can support them to move forward in their chosen direction. She focuses on progression not regression, though parts of the client’s past will most likely be visited in different ways throughout their healing.
A session starts with the client sharing where they feel blocked and what they would like help with. She does not encourage or work with “big cathartic releases” but rather touches into the edges of challenging sensations and emotions to be able to titrate them, allowing them to discharge, while also strengthening and building new resources from within.
An Integrative & Collaborative Approach
Jaya will then connect with the client’s energy, and mental/emotional fields, as well as physical bodies to get a sense of the patterns that are feeding this pain/blocks and then sense into how that person’s body can best work somatically to integrate ill~adapted patterns. There is a weaving of the client’s sensations, memories, emotions, images, impulses and felt sense that happens, as Jaya guides them into their body to uncover unexpressed responses related to past traumas that are often keeping their nervous systems stuck on either “on” or “off.”
As clients have these experiences, they become better equipped to discharge related bound survival energy, thwarted instincts and responses so that their bodies, minds and Spirits can become free of the affects of past traumas, and more rooted in presence and vitality.
Vision & Philosophies
Jaya is passionate about supporting clients to feel empowered and enhancing their connection to their bodies throughout their healing process. She also loves assisting them on their journeys to living more full, pain free, and vibrant lives.
Jaya also uses these principles and philosophies that support the body’s innate intelligence and capacity to heal itself, as part of all of her somatic energy therapy trainings, courses and retreats. She allows herself to be guided by the unknown possibilities present within each person, that are just waiting to rise to the surface, be brought into awareness and integrated.
