Q: How Can The BodyTalk System™ help with high fever.

I came to know about BodyTalk a year ago after reading a brochure at one of a training site. I decided to bring my son Ivan for a BodyTalk session because he suffered from frequent high fever which lasts for 4-6 days.

Doctors could only say to wait until Ivan was 6-7 years old than he would be fine. As parents, my wife and I could not bear to see him suffering from high fever and could not enjoy his time to play. He was about 5 years old when I brought him to his first BodyTalk session. Marcio explained to us what BodyTalk was and how it might help Ivan. It was mind boggling to know there is such holistic treatment that covers almost all facets of possible causes and address complete health concerns.

In his first treatment, Marcio discovered the root cause of my son high fever was because of metal element in his body. He also did cellular repair to address the high fever problem. Overall Ivan went through 3 treatments over 2 months. It was really amazing result from these treatments. Ivan is no longer suffering from prolonged high fever. As a kid even though he caught flu/fever, it never took long and the temperature is not as high as before. Thank God for BodyTalk and I thank Marcio for his service to my son and my family.

Q: How Can The BodyTalk System™ help with sports related injuries.

I was suffering from a condition called Recurring Corneal Erosion (RCE), which was a result of a squash injury. Despite continuous medication, my condition was not improved. I consulted Marcio and since then my condition has improved significantly. Marcio used BodyTalk and CranioSacral Therapy and that has given me a lot of comfort. My condition is now much improved and I would recommend this treatment.

Q: How Can The BodyTalk help with rashes.

The BodyTalk experience I had with Irene was amazing, and I did "expel" all the toxic stuff from my body by going to the loo a lot. My rashes did not appear after the treatment but when I got back to Vancouver, I did get some rash although not so severe as I would have normally got them over the past 10-years. I think, like most illnesses/allergies, I need to have a few more treatments before I'm fully cured.

Thank you so much Irene for your help. My husband was so excited about my treatment and even though he's not really the type who believes in alternative healing, he's now convinced to try out Body Talk for his own well-being. I hope to see you Irene on my next visit to Singapore. I was such a pleasure to meet you and experience BodyTalk. Look forward to hearing from you. Take care.

Q: How Can BodyTalk help you with fear & decision making?

When the doctor first told me that I had endometriosis, I was hoping to find a medical treatment which could make the cyst subside instead of going thru surgery. I was skeptical of surgery and hence delayed even to seek a 2nd opinion.

The BodyTalk sessions with Irene made a difference as it helped me overcome the fear and I trust that I will be ok after the surgery. If not because for the session, I would have deferred the surgery indefinitely. Through the sessions with Irene it helped instill a sense of confidence in me to go for 2nd opinion. Interesting enough this other surgeon sounded convincing to me on the surgery that he was going to perform, which further built up my confidence level.

The moment I decided to go for surgery, I realized that the decision was not that difficult after all as I was quite prepared mainly because I was rational enough (instead of overwhelmed with emotion) to realize there surgery is a necessary treatment at that time.

Fear has been a huge factor that is holding back the entire process. However, it is the support and the encouragement that Irene gave me which helped me believed in myself that I would be ok after the surgery. The belief is strong enough to create a shift, away from a skeptical mindset, which helps the recovery process.

Once again thank you Irene for all that you have done for me during the sessions. May God bless you!

Q: How Can The BodyTalk System™ help me with Emotional and Physical releases?

"The experience with The BodyTalk System™ brought me a change in the way I interact with people somehow. I realize I became more at ease with others especially in expressing myself. Although I came to Marcio for a treatment with only my hearing disorder in mind, the many discoveries I learnt of my physical components in relation to my emotions and past memories were refreshing. Those instances also invoked a series of awareness to my neglected injuries (spine and skin) that just got better after every session. Through Marcio's recommendation to a Chi Kung master, I begin practicing some daily exercises to improve my overall bodily health. Both seniors also emphasize a great deal in proper breathing which allowed me a better sense of sobriety. Here is my great thank of appreciation."

Q: How Can Awakening Touch help you with Frozen Shoulder?

“Marcio's diagnosis and the subsequent treatment of my frozen shoulder have been very effective. Although I initially was not very convinced about the acupuncture, as a part of the therapy which he did apply on me, it finally turned out to be the right way. I believe that's what everybody expects when looking for relieve by a doctor. What not everybody expects, but certainly appreciates is to feel himself to be in good hands. And that's what I felt being in the hands of Marcio. I would with no hesitation recommend him to my friend.”

Marek Sekula, Executive Manager – Shanghai, China


Q: How Can Awakening Touch help you with Whiplash?

“Last August while hiking, I fell 10 feet and hit my forehead on a rock. I partially lost the use of my hands and feet from the whiplash that resulted from the fall, and had to be hospitalized for two weeks. Though luckily there were no permanent damages to the nerve system in my upper neck, I had constant pain in my neck and shoulder, as well as numbness in my hands. The range of motion with my neck was also very limited at the time I was discharged from the hospital. Due to insurance authorization delays, I did not start my physical therapy with Mr. Ribeiro until October, and by that time I had developed muscle atrophy and was easily fatigued, in addition to having pains and numbness.

Mr. Ribeiro treated me twice per week for about three months. He put me through different programs that helped me regaining my physical strength, but also relieving the pains significantly. By my last visit in early January, I was about 95% of my normal health and the numbness was totally gone.

Mr. Ribeiro cares about his patients a great deal, has a lot of patience in explaining the therapies clearly and his treatment was highly effective based on my personal experience.”

Alf Liang, Executive Director - Shanghai, China


Q: How Can The BodyTalk System™ and CranioSacral Therapy® helped me on Autism?

My name is Choo Kah Ying. I am the mother of a nine-year-old autistic son. Since last October, my son has undergone multiple treatments with Marcio Ribeiro. I consider him to be a consummate professional in terms of the outcomes he achieves, his “bedside” manner and his passion in his work.

Although I often inform parents that my son remains as autistic as ever, he has shown remarkable improvements at a fast pace since undergoing treatments in all areas:

  • Attention span: His improved attention span is testified by his ability to watch TV and a movie now. It occurred to me that Sebastien must have had difficulty processing and integrating the images on TV, which led to his hyperactivity and disinterest in watching TV. More significantly, his increased attention span also led to his improved academic performance, as he is better able to attend to the academic tasks I give him. As a result, I was not only able to give him more work, but increasingly more challenging work.

  • Fine motor and gross motor skills: He has started exhibiting fine motor and gross motor skills that he did not have before. Furthermore, he began doing them all by himself, without any prompting from me. In the past, I would have to prompt him to do any new thing, but he just started doing them by himself, such as crossing the midline with his hands and jumping up and down the stairs with two feet coordinated at the same time. His ability to exercise fine motor control of his fingers to draw and write has also improved remarkably.

  • Eye contact: Sebastien can now track me with his eyes, even from a great distance. In the past, I could not get Sebastien to notice me if I was not within an easy range. However, he can now track me based on my voice.

  • Response to environmental stimuli: My son who has hypersensitive response to environmental stimuli can now handle the overwhelming sensory environment in Singapore. During his first two months back in Singapore (August-September 2005), he got overwhelmed and on one occasion, he attacked me from behind. I can say now that my son is not only aggression-free, but I now have so much confidence about his behavior, that I don’t try to anticipate his aggression anymore.

  • Relational skills: I am now bonding with my son at a level that I did not imagine was possible with my autistic child. I used to tell others that my son could love me in terms of my functional value or purpose. Now, I can say that my son loves me in a way that is close to parent-child love that most parents experience. He has moved out of his egocentric ways to show that he worries and cares about me. He has become a considerate child who would help me out and look out for me.

Apart from these outcomes, Marcio is a kind and respectful professional who respects Sebastien’s wishes. He does not ever impose his treatment on Sebastien; rather, he coaxes and persuades Sebastien to be treated. As a result, he has won Sebastien over. This factor is important to me as Sebastien had been traumatized by practitioners such as dentists and doctors who tried to treat him forcibly when Sebastien was resistant. These encounters often led to Sebastien acting out in aggression days after the treatment. However, I do not have this problem with Marcio at all.

Finally, Marcio has also done Bodytalk on me and illuminated clearly to me the importance of my relationship with Sebastien. Each of the treatments, whether it was done on Sebastien or me, affected the other. Moreover, Marcio also talked to me about many things such as conditioning and belief systems, which have helped me to modify my views about myself and my relationship with my son. Best of all, he has taught me to see beyond the “typical” and the “special needs” divide to see that all of us are in need of healing. Regardless of any glaring deficits, each of us shares the same fundamental sense of humanity.

To me, Marcio is a healer who has given me the gift of my precious loving relationship with my son. We owe him an incredible debt of gratitude that cannot possibly be described or repaid.

Q: How can The BodyTalk System™ help me during pregnancy?

Tive a sorte grande de ter tido a oportunidade de usufluir dos beneficios do body talk durante a gravidez.

No inicio tinha dores nas costas e incomodo nas pernas. Esses foram, a principio, os motivos que me levaram a fazer a tentativa no tratamento com o body talk. Com a sessoes, nao so os problemas fisicos foram sidos amenizados, mas o bem estar foi muito grande!

Com as sessoes de body talk foi estabelecido um vinculo muito especial entre mae e bebe, o que foi muito importante para a propria gravidez e, especialmente, para o momento do parto.

Ana Schuermans – Singapore

Translated form original:

I had the luck to enjoy the benefits of BodyTalk during my pregnancy. In the beginning, I went for a session because of lower back pains and an uncomfortable feeling on my legs. These were the reasons why I tried BodyTalk but with the sessions, not only my physical problems were subsiding, but I also felt a great sense of well-being. With the BodyTalk sessions was established a very special bound between mother and baby, which was very important for the pregnancy itself and for the moment of delivery.

Q: Animal Talk - How The BodyTalk System™ can be applied on animals too!

Pepper is now not constipated after the session with Marcio. She is also more active and now loves to play after her dinner instead of lazing around. Have tried to change her diet to raw meat. She will take it raw for the first meal and after that she refuse to eat - guess it will take some time for her to adjust to the food. She also tends to walk longer and seems to enjoy it too - not like before when she will stubbornly sit down and refuse to budge.

Molly Tan - Singapore

Before I went to the 2nd session on 20th June 2007, Pepper was not feeling well. She vomited in the morning. When I came back after the session, she still looked a bit tired  and had no appetite. But after an hour or so she was well and her appetite came back. Till then she has been active and happy playing after her meals and before bed time. Even my husband notice a change in her behavior  - no more the 'lazy stubborn dog'! Her health also improved otherwise we need to bring her to the vet almost every month because of her skin allergy. Thank you so much for introducing me to this Animal Talk.
Hope more people will bring their pets to this natural healing.

Molly Tan - Singapore
