I haven’t been in touch for a long time, but I wanted to let you know where I am before Spring BodyTalk disappears completely!

COVID marked a turning point in many areas of my life, including my work. Over the past few years, I pursued a Master’s in Counselling Psychology to learn about comprehensive and integrative mental health care. As a licensed counsellor, I now offer ethical, steady support through moments of emotional intensity and everyday challenges.

I am constantly in awe of how the therapeutic relationship invites healing, growth, and self-awareness. I welcome people interested in exploring identity, transitions, neuro-functioning, multiculturalism, grief, anxiety, and caregiving. I also work with kids, teens, and couples. Sessions often combine conversation, art, and somatics tailored to individual needs.

Practically speaking, my services are covered by many private insurance plans in most provinces and territories.

I'm not sure what will happen with this page, but I'll be phasing out my Spring Bodytalk email. You can reach me at erica.desousa@valleyinnerspace.ca with any questions.

How to take your heart out of the bottle

Describing what I do has always been tricky. Its not like anything you've experienced before, and it gets results you've never seen before. What's happening?? I recently grabbed this book at the local library recently because I enjoy the author. Amazingly, he's captured the essence of consciousness work and my practice in a children's story! Here's my Conscious Book Review #5: The Heart and the Bottle by Oliver Jeffers Oh my Heart This is a story about a young girl who loses someone she loves and decides to protect her heartforever from the pain. But when she closes off her heart, she also stops experiencing the beauty and joy she found in the world. Until one day she decides its time to take her heart out of the bottle But she doesn't know how She tries everything and nothing works (This completely describes what led me to BodyTalk and consciousness work, although back then I wouldn't have be able to tell you in those words). Working consciously through BodyTalk and CLI is how you take your heart out of the bottle, with sincerelove and gratitude for the little version of you that put it there in the first place. Now I have the perfect answer when someone asks me what I do. I say, "I support people who are ready to take their heart out of the bottle" (and I can do this because I have committed to doing the same) Is this where you find yourself? Knowing its time to reinstate the wisdom of your heart, but you don't know how? Are you wondering how she ends up getting her heart out of the bottle?

When its truly time to find out, contact me and we’ll get started.

Erica de Sousa discovered BodyTalk as a solution to feeling mentally and emotionally stuck in her professional life and personal growth. Since then, Erica’s journey of self awareness and healing has inspired her to make BodyTalk’s unique approach accessible to others. As a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, Erica launched her practice Spring BodyTalk in New Minas, NS to support women seeking healing and clarity, particularly during times of illness or stress. The simple yet comprehensive BodyTalk System provides a holistic approach to improving physical, mental and emotional health. Erica continues to develop her practice with advanced BodyTalk training and complimentary consciousness-based practices. Any kind of stress has an impact in our bodies whether its physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. Physical problems are often a sign of an underlying factor that cannot be accessed by our ego, the part of our brain we use the most. In fact, our ego often holds on to stressors, beliefs and emotions that can cause deterioration in our health. BodyTalk communicates with your bodymind, or whole self, which knows exactly what changes need to take place to promote healing. Your symptoms may be the same as someone else’s but your body’s approach to healing will be entirely unique. BodyTalk establishes which changes need to happen and in what order for the most effective results.
