Shelley Poovey is an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner & PaRama Certified Practitioner who has coordinated BodyTalk continuing education programs as well as BodyTalk Founders Courses, with John Veltheim, in New York City since 2010. 

Shelley’s training allows her to combine the latest advances in Western science, such as epigenetics, the human microbiome, neuroplasticity of the brain and the mind-body connection, with ancient wisdom traditions such as chinese medicine, ayurveda, and esoteric healing for powerful sessions that get to the root causes of health, creating a deep sense of personal well-being with lasting results. 

In addition, her coursework in Bodytalk Direct, Circadian Rhythms and Orthopedic Evaluation Techniques help identify and optimize areas related to physical performance and stamina – including musculoskeletal coordination, posture, sleep, digestion, and mood.
