Thank you for all your kind wishes BodyTalk team! 💫💕🪷

Happy Birthday to Vicki Brass, based in Moraletta Park, Pretoria East

https://bodytalksystem.co.za/members/vicki-brass/

I am a dedicated BodyTalk practitioner driven by a deeply personal journey of healing and transformation. My path to becoming a practitioner was born out of my own struggles with mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. In addition, witnessing my children navigate similar battles and supporting my partner through autoimmune diseases has reinforced my commitment to holistic healing modalities like BodyTalk.

My journey with BodyTalk began as a quest for answers and relief. Through the practice of BodyTalk, I found not only healing but also profound insights into the intricate connections between mind, body, and spirit. This transformative experience ignited a passion within me to share the gift of BodyTalk with others who may be facing similar challenges.

In addition to my personal experiences, I’ve dedicated significant time to researching mental health issues and autoimmune diseases. I’ve conducted research studies to deepen my understanding and gain valuable insights into these complex conditions. This ongoing pursuit of knowledge allows me to offer informed, compassionate support to my clients on their healing journeys.

As a practitioner, I approach each session with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to creating a safe, nurturing space for healing to unfold. My goal is to empower individuals to reconnect with their innate healing wisdom, release energetic blockages, and restore balance and vitality to their lives.

🌿💚 Today’s special “client” is my very own Kimi, 9 weeks old and already showing off his curious personality! 🦜✨

Just like us, animals thrive when we focus on balance and wellness before problems show up. Symptoms are often the last sign that something’s wrong, true health is about maintaining harmony in the body and mind so we can stay vibrant and resilient.

Here’s to raising Kimi healthy and thriving from the very start!

✨ Breaking the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse ✨

One of the reasons it’s so hard to break free from a narcissistic relationship is because the cycle of abuse is actually addictive.

When things are good, they feel really good your brain releases powerful chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin that create a sense of reward, bonding, and even euphoria. But when the cycle turns to gaslighting, devaluation, or emotional blackmail, those same chemicals plummet, leaving you anxious, confused, and craving the “high” of when things were good again.

This push-and-pull is no accident, it’s part of the manipulation. Narcissists know how to keep you hooked by alternating affection and cruelty, clarity and confusion. If you find yourself constantly second-guessing, feeling “crazy,” or wondering why you tolerate the bad because of the good, it’s likely you’re caught in these toxic mind games.

💡 Healing starts with awareness. Once you see the cycle for what it is, you can begin breaking free from the chemical trap and reclaiming your peace.

You are not the problem. You are not “too sensitive.” You are being manipulated. And you can take back your power.

🌿 BodyTalk helps release trauma from these patterns, rebalance your nervous system, and support your healing journey so you can move forward with clarity and strength.

✂️ C-Section Scars & Your Lymphatic System: What Really Happens Beneath the Surface

By Bianca Botha, CLT, RLD, MLDT & CDS

Many mothers are told that once a C-section scar heals on the outside, the body is “all fine” again. But the truth is, deep beneath the skin, your lymphatic system is often still affected. This silent disruption can explain why some women notice puffiness above their scar, heaviness in the legs, or a lingering sense of tightness in the lower abdomen.

🔄 How Lymph Normally Flows in the Abdomen

Your lymphatic system is a vast network of vessels that collect fluid, toxins, and immune cells and transport them through lymph nodes for cleansing. The lower abdomen and pelvis are major drainage hubs:
• Lymph from the legs, pelvic organs, and lower digestive system all passes upward through these channels.
• Smooth flow is essential to prevent swelling, bloating, or toxin buildup.

🚫 What Happens After a C-Section

During a C-section, both lymphatic and blood vessels are cut. While blood vessels repair themselves quite quickly, lymphatic vessels don’t always reconnect neatly. This can cause:
• Lymphatic congestion: Fluid can pool above the scar, leading to puffiness or a “ledge” of tissue.
• Impaired drainage from the legs: Swelling in the thighs, calves, or ankles can be more noticeable after long days of standing.
• Pelvic congestion: Lymph from the uterus, ovaries, and intestines may slow down, contributing to bloating or heaviness.

🧩 The Role of Scar Tissue

Scar tissue and adhesions act like roadblocks for lymph flow:
• Fibrous tissue can “trap” lymphatic fluid, preventing free circulation.
• Tissues and fascia may stick together, creating tightness or pulling sensations.
• Nerves in the area may also be affected, causing numbness or hypersensitivity.

🌐 Systemic Ripple Effects

Because lymph is interconnected, disruption in one area can affect the whole body. Common signs include:
• Swelling in the legs, feet, or lower abdomen
• Bloating and digestive changes
• Feeling of heaviness or fatigue in the lower body
• Persistent tightness or tenderness around the scar

🌱 Supporting Lymph Flow After a C-Section

The good news is that there are safe and effective ways to restore flow:
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A gentle therapy that helps re-route lymph around blocked areas.
• Scar Mobilisation: Light massage or fascial release can soften adhesions and improve circulation.
• Castor Oil Packs: Applied to the abdomen, they can reduce tension and promote flow.
• Movement & Breathing: Gentle stretching, walking, and diaphragmatic breathing help the abdominal “lymph pump.”

✨ Final Thoughts

A healed scar on the outside doesn’t always mean healed lymphatics on the inside. Understanding how your C-section scar impacts your lymphatic system is the first step to reclaiming lightness, reducing swelling, and restoring balance to your body. With the right care, your lymph can flow freely again, supporting your health and vitality long after birth.

🧠 Access Bars: Like Hitting 'Empty Recycle Bin' on Your Brain

Feeling mentally cluttered, emotionally overwhelmed, or just… stuck?

Access Bars is a deeply relaxing, gentle hands-on technique that helps clear the “background noise” in your brain. During a session, I lightly touch 32 specific points on your head. Each one stores thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and limitations, like little energetic files.

💻 Imagine your mind is a laptop: running slow, too many tabs open, old files clogging up memory.
Access Bars is like hitting “Empty Recycle Bin”, closing the tabs, and giving your whole system a reboot.

🌀 What it can help with:

Overthinking and anxiety

Emotional overwhelm or burnout

Sleep troubles

Feeling stuck or “foggy”

Lack of clarity or motivation

Nervous system overload

Most clients feel calmer, clearer, lighter and more in control — often after just one session.

✨ You don’t have to talk or relive anything. Just lie back, receive, and let your body do the work.

If you're ready to clear the clutter and feel like yourself again, this is for you.

🌿 Not getting better, even after countless doctor visits?

Do you live with unexplained pain, ongoing fatigue, or symptoms that medication doesn’t seem to fix? It may be because the focus has been on treating the symptom rather than uncovering the cause.

BodyTalk works differently. ✨
Instead of chasing symptoms, it gets to the root of what’s going on whether physical, emotional, or energetic, helping your body’s natural healing ability switch back on.

If you’ve tried everything and still don’t feel like yourself, it may be time for a new approach.

✨ What if healing didn’t have to be so hard? ✨

This testimonial from Chantal truly touched my heart. She came in carrying emotional pain and left feeling lighter, clearer, and ready to return. Her words are a reminder that your body holds so much more than stress, it holds your story. Sometimes, we just need the right space to release it.

If you’ve experienced trauma, physical, emotional, childhood, even past life patterns—and you feel stuck, tired, or overwhelmed… BodyTalk might be the missing piece.

🌿 You don’t have to carry it all alone.
🌿 You don’t have to explain it all in words.
🌿 You just have to begin.

Bookings are open, and I’d love to hold space for you 💛
