Access Energy, BARS
"Throughout the treatment I moved in and out of conscious awareness. While conscious, I was attuned to the energy that was pulsing throughout my body. It felt incredible! When I drifted off to sleep, I saw pulsating waves of light illuminating beyond my physical body."
-Kara Powis, client
"It felt very spiritual to me when I had the treatment-like waves of high vibration flooding through my system, and I kept hearing a choir of angels singing... Interesting experience...."
-Petra Deker, client and SBBTI graduate
"I really love the Bars energy work - I feel that this goes along with what I have been getting about the release work that allows us to raise our vibration frequency and be more fully the glorious unlimited beings that we are."
-Cat Weeks, client
"It's extremely relaxing and energizing. Every Access Energy session is different. The most intense one that I've had was my body relaxing and my heart was really pumping and my mind was having several short dreams at the same time. At the end of the session my body and mind were very relaxed and rested."
-Hector Vejar, client and SBBTI 1,000 hr graduate
"Bars had a really beneficial impact. I lowered my stress levels, became more conscious of someone else's energy- perceiving the good energy around me. That ability to perceive energy in the people around me really changed. I work with a lot of people around me (I'm the purchasing agent at the Lazy Acres). It’s always stressful- but the Bars really helped me to relax. It is a marvelous thing!"
-Angel Ortiz, SBBTI 250 hr graduate, commenting on his experience receiving Bars
"My OCD stuff started to drop away after my first Access Energy session last August. I used to have all these rituals that I would do each day. I had OCD really bad. I let the rituals take over my day. When I got the session I wasn't even thinking I'm here to let go of my OCD, they just started to fall away. I got my job here at SBBTI the very next day. Access Energy allowed me to make room to do what I had to do. I didn't even realize until now that that was when it all started to change. I had been seeing a therapist for 14 years. We tried a lot of different things and medications to help me get over the OCD. Nothing ever worked. Recently my therapist asked about my OCD and I said 'Oh, I don't have time for that'. Now that I am reflecting on what occurred, I realize I made the shift with my Access Energy session."
-Melissa Franco, SBBTI 1000hr graduate, SBBTI Office Manager
"After getting my Bars run I am able to sleep through the night now. I didn't have to think about it - it just took care of itself. I have had very vivid strong nightmares- some chasing me, others where I am being killed for several years two to three nights per week. It’s been horrible. I would sit up in bed screaming afterwards. Now my sleep is very restful, my dreams are now peaceful. I sleep through the night. Is amazing what can be achieved without having to pop pills."
-Elena Noriega, clinic client, SBBTI 550 Graduate
"My skepticism was conquered in a recent Access clinic. I'm used to feeling waves of energy and color when I receive energy work. Instead, I didn't feel anything during my Access session, but later that day I felt the best I have felt in my two weeks of chronic cold. I felt clear headed and energy. It was a marked difference."
-Gael Ashwood, frequent bodywork receiver and eternal skeptic, SBBTI Registrar
"Receiving in the Access Energy Clinic blew my mind. I have been practicing meditation for a year and the quiet that I experienced after my one hour session was similar to what I experience after several days of a Zen meditation retreat."

Acupressure
"Receiving acupressure sessions at BTI is deeply relaxing, healing, educational and energizing. More please!"

Craniosacral Therapy
"The Craniosacral treatment put me in a profound meditative state. I felt myself drifting into a deep inner space where I became very aware of subtle rhythms of body systems that are barely perceptible in ordinary consciousness. At one point I felt a definite release of tension in my cranium - I must have been holding it for some time without realizing it. All in all, I highly recommend this as a worthwhile form of therapy."
-Detty Peikart, Craniosacral clinic client
-Detty Peikart, Craniosacral clinic client
"Receiving Craniosacral Therapy is like dropping into a deep well; the mind settles and the sensation in the body is like warm elixir permeating all the tissue layers and beyond the body. I often feel like I am floating for days afterwards."
-Katie Mickey, SBBTI director and recipient in Craniosacral Clinic
"I received a Craniosacral therapy session at the advanced clinic at SBBTI and was astounded by the process and results. Without knowing the premise of craniosacral therapy, I was seeking a somatic therapy that would assist me in "getting into balance." Once the session began, I could feel waves of light and fluid pulsates through my body. My head felt like it was gently moving in a figure-eight, seeking to find its right place. When the session was over, I felt as if I had done extensive physical and emotional therapy. I felt lighter, calmer and centered. Since that first session I have sought out the student practitioner, Marla [VanStein] for another private session. Thank you."
-Kara Powis, Ph.D.
"I had a spectacular session with Joanne. She had a quiet, calm sense of confidence as she approached the whole session. She really allowed it all to unfold and had a presence of authority in what she was doing. I have had other Craniosacral sessions before and this was the most profound I have experienced- the depth to which I entered into it, as well as the stillness of the process- it seemed to allow for deeper shifts and quality of presence. I feel very relaxed."

Essential Oils
"I met Deb about 11 years ago. At the time, I had major migraines pretty often. I had headaches for about 25 years. Since aromas were the trigger for my headaches, it was hard for Deb to convince me to use oils. I finally tried an oil called M-Grain. I used it 4 times a day for about six months and my headaches were cured. That was about 11 years ago. Occasionally I feel a headache coming on and I just use the oil to get rid of it. I hardly ever get headaches today. One thing I appreciate about oils is the low cost. I use a drop at a time - each drop costs less than any over the counter pill I could take."

Hot Stone
"Hot stone massage is a blissful therapeutic experience. The warmth of the stones relaxes muscles and promotes the flow of circulation. It deepens your state, relaxes your mind and rejuvenates your spirit. It's a great technique to connect mind, body and spirit."

Lymphatic Drainage
"Dear Body Therapy Institute, when I came to your lymphatic drainage massage clinic, I had experienced a swollen right cheek for weeks. I thought it was due to gum weakness because it was painful when I flossed and brushed there. After Anna's skillful gentle touches in that area during my clinic session, I came home to no pain when flossing or brushing. Thank you!"
Tiffani Manley, commenting on her clinic session
"Wow! I can talk again! After Katie worked on me I went home and rested. That night I felt awful, but when I woke I felt great. My voice is back and I am able to work. Usually it would take me several days to get over a bug like that. The session was amazing. The next time I start to come down with something I am going to see you first thing."

Medical Qigong
"I just had a medical qigong session with Lisa D, a 500 hour student. I feel profoundly relaxed and in a zone of peaceful calm. I had several dream-like images while receiving the treatment and felt that I was energetically shifted in a very positive way. Thank you so very Much!"
-Lisa Star
"I arrived Friday night pretty frayed around the edges emotionally. That session of medical qigong was extremely powerful energy work Slept really well Friday night. Saturday morning woke up with a profound blissful consciousness, silent and deep. Tons of energy on Saturday. Clear, happy productivity. Something definitely worth learning and receiving. Thank you for making such body work available to the community."
-Tiffani M. recent clinic client
"I just got back from my yearly checkup. . Every thing is good- way improved! My blood pressure is now 111 over 62. I used to run high 120s over 85. I was anemic last year. This year I am in the normal zone. The A1C- blood sugar test went from diabetic zone (6.5) to nondiabetic zonef (5.7). My doctor took me off my blood pressure med and wanted to prescribe some calcium, but then said I'd like you to talk to the guy you are working with, I want you to make sure he agrees.
I started seeing Matthew 5 months ago, I have been getting medical qi gong treatments biweekly and taking Chinese herbs. During this time I have lost 30 pounds without trying. I've changed what I eat, but it hasn't really felt like I am on a program. In the past I have always felt like I was on a diet, now it just feels like I am feeding my body. I have a lot of things I cut out of my diet, but I don't miss them. All I know is that everything changed when I started working with Matthew!"

Reflexology
"I feel amazing there was a lot of tension in my body. Now I feel a lot of release. She found lots of points in my body and was good at explaining what was going on in my body. All and all it was just what I needed from a tough work week."
Dexter, recent clinic client
"I work for the Sheriff's department 12 hour shifts on my feet in boots on concrete all day. I got your email and thought what a great idea! I was so impressed with how I felt after the first session I decided to have a go for a second session. Tomorrow I'll be back for Deep Tissue and Saturday back for Swedish."
-Chuck Van de Walker, SBBTI clinic client commenting on sessions with Toni Osuna, Tonya Roberts and James Margeson
