Bookings
Please click on Jaya’s online calendar to book an appointment (you will need to create a login name and password to do this). You can select BodyTalk or Somatic Experiencing for your session, and following intake, Jaya will talk to you about which is best to address your unique symptoms (she often uses both modalities in one session).
Most people will require 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 your 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.
Individual session cost is $200 (incl HST).
Jaya also works in 1, 2, 3, and 6 month containers offering either weekly or bi-weekly sessions, including homework exercises, WhatsApp follow~ups, and access to her monthly online Healing Gatherings (See Courses & Offerings page for details). These sessions cost $222 (incl HST), totalling $888 for 4 sessions in a one month container, or 2 sessions per month in a two month container; $2,664 for 4 sessions per month in a 3 month container, or for 2 sessions per month in a 6 month container. These containers provide additional support to help you to focus further on your health and vitality goals in an effective, life~altering and sustainable way!

Online Sessions
Online sessions are available by Doxy.me and can be paid via PayPal or electronic banking. Both BodyTalk and Somatic Experiencing take place using the same method 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 sessions without having to drive anywhere.
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 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.
