Kimberley Peacock
 Certified Aesthetician and Yoga Instructor

Kimberley was first introduced to yoga over 12 years ago and has been hooked ever since. While working in Barrie as a Certified Aesthetician for her own business, she found that yoga provided her with the balance and calm needed to provide for her clients. oreo

After moving back to Midhurst, she has pursued her passion for yoga and become a Certified Yoga Instructor. Offering yoga to the community she grew up in is very rewarding. Being able to provide a safe and peaceful environment to embrace their own body and spirit.


Carol Phillips
 Certified Yoga Instructor

Carol Phillips has been a veterinarian in Barrie for 20 years and has been practicing yoga for almost as long. Carol's passion for yoga led her to become a certified Hatha yoga teacher in 2007. Carol is drawn to yoga's physical solace as well as yoga's spiritual benefits. In every class, Carol aims to stretch, strengthen and rejuvenate the body. Each class ends with a period of relaxation/ meditation, restoring the body's energy flow, as well as calming and elevating the mind. Join Carol's class to begin your own yoga journey of discovery, both physically and mentally.


Lynda Clifford
 Certified Pilates Instructor

I entered into the fitness industry as a trainer believing in "where there is movement there is health" and discovered that people were more aware of their extremities and less of their body centers.

I studied at Stott Pilates in Toronto , an international company, following the original teachings of Joseph Pilates. I completed the Mat 1-2 and reformer programs in 2001 and the passion grew from there. Since this time I have taught in various settings from physio clinics to working with international competetors, including our Canadian Silver Medalists. I have traveled south and have had the incrediable experience of work as far as Vietnam.

It's my belief that pilates is more then just core, the spine and it's attachments become the life line of the body. Pilates integrates core movements with breath, that help self heal through spine awareness and alignment that improves functioning. This practice offers a holistic approach, correcting poor posture.

The progressively more difficult movements are carried out slowly and with concentration, involving mind as well as body. I welcome you to understand your body's center, for the rest of your life.


Cherie Carpenter
 CLSC, AdvCBP, AnimalTalk Practitioner
 BodyTalk Instructor and Access Trainer

Cherie's appreciation of improved health and ongoing wellness is deep. She learned from her personal experience and the amazing healing outcomes she hears from her clients. Complications following auto accidents, symptoms of fibromyalgia, arthritis, Epstein Barr, hepatitis and other viral infections, back pain, insomnia, mental and emotional fatigue, stress, migraines, addictions, dyslexia and impact from unhealed emotional and physical scars, are just some of the serious health concerns her clients report eliminated from their lives.

Her introduction to the BodyTalk SystemT evolved naturally from a lifelong interest in healing and health care. After graduating as a Registered Nursing Assistant in 1976, Cherie studied aromatherapy, reflexology, massage, Touch for Health and applied kinesiology. She became a Reiki Master in both the Usui and Takata lineages in the early 1980's.

Since 2002, Cherie has been modeling the necessary basics for success - grass roots respect and care - through her practice in the BodyTalk SystemT. She is an Advanced Certified Practitioner in BodyTalk (one of few in Ontario) and she holds certifications in Plant and AnimalTalk, Advanced Mindscape, Right Brain, Breakthrough 1, Orthopedic Evaluation, Family System Evaluation, BodyTalk Access and Traditional Chinese Medicine for BodyTalkers.

Founder of BodyTalk Central, since 2004 Cherie has ensured workshops with a wide selection of Certified International BodyTalk instructors are available in Ontario to those choosing a BodyTalk career. Students have come from all over the globe. Along with a dedicated team, she began to further support the growth of countless BodyTalk practitioners and Access Technicians by developing a website, providing articles and promoting in publications and distributing a monthly newsletter.

In her own Access Training and Module 1-2 Workshops, she is committed to 'getting the word out' about the many advantages of this leading-edge health care system - BodyTalkT. In her personal practice, she sees clients in Barrie (2 locations), Orillia and Toronto and offers effective remote sessions to recipients anywhere in the world. Cherie also notes that working with the consciousness of animals (Animal Talk practice) has broadened her own awareness in unexpected ways.

Janine Hutchinson
 Traditional Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, BodyTalk Practitioner
 Esoteric Healing - Inca Shamanic Healing

I am passionate about promoting wellness through BodyTalk on all levels - body, mind and soul. I love to listen to the whisperings of my client's body wisdom and am humbled by the results.

I offer a tranquil and supportive environment in which healing energy is allowed to freely flow. Pain and tension are released and my clients enjoy feeling the empowerment when they connect with their true essence and allow the body to heal its Self. My clients claim they experience "little miracles" after just one visit.

My earlier professional careers included customer service in the insurance industry and teaching special education and Kindergarten. However, my interest in metaphysical subjects began when I was a teen. Much later I studied and currently practice Energy Field healing through Reiki attunements and Inca Shamanic Healing as well as offering the Munay-Ki Rites.

Now, BodyTalk seems to be taking the top ranking of all the modalities I practice! While beginning my own Holistic Healing practice, I was encouraged to experience a BodyTalk session with Jessy Morrison. I was so impressed by the related "pathways" that BodyTalk addressed that I soon connected with Cherie Carpenter at BodyTalk Central to investigate more.

Taking the BodyTalk Access Technician course in 2008 gave me practical tools I could use daily for preventative health and maintenance. Colds and viruses are a thing of the past! Quick and simple BodyTalk techniques enabled me to personally feel better balanced and healthier immediately. My shoulder muscle tension was alleviated and my immune system was strengthened.

I just knew I had to study more BodyTalk as it blended many ideas from all other modalities I had learned. I took Modules 1 & 2 in Toronto in 2009, a year after leaving my teaching job. Then in February 2010, after auditing this same course with Cherie Carpenter, I became a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner.

How truly blessed I feel to offer BodyTalk - a profoundly effective healing modality. In March 2010 I completed Module 4/7. Excited to learn more, I will soon study other modules to increase my knowledge and take my practice to higher levels. I would love to teach BodyTalk Access to everyone!

Susan Strong
 Certified Bodytalk Practitioner

Susan has been a BodyTalk practitioner since 2005 and a Pilate's instructor for much longer. She understands how body, mind and spirit can integrate into a healthy, functioning unit - with a bit of professional help. After successfully completing every BodyTalk module she sees amazing results in her practice.

Susan, has given many BodyTalk sessions and no two sessions, were the links exactly the same. BodyTalk is totally individualized to the person. Susan knows that sessions can be beneficial to everyone - regardless of age or health. As she says, "It is simply something that needs to be experienced to fully understand."

One former client came to her with a white blood cell count completely off, and anemic. He received three sessions; his blood count was re-tested before his doctor was to prescribe medication. The blood work results revealed that his white blood count was 100% perfect and no signs of being anemic, so no medication was required.

Another individual who sought Susan's help because of fears of returning to post-secondary school due to test anxiety got 90% on the first exam. After two sessions, this former client has been able to enter a degree programme.

For over 30 years, as a human services team member, Susan formerly worked with every population group: seniors, homeless, young offenders, developmentally delayed and people with mental health issues. People can get help in different ways and may get temporary results. Through BodyTalk, however, she has witnessed permanent disappearance of inhibiting symptoms in so many grateful individuals.

Based on client studies, Susan firmly believes in the positive, safe and effective results of BodyTalk. She knows how healing occurs on all levels: soul, mind and body. Sessions are preventative and promote a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Once issues are addressed usually 2-3 sessions, with maintenance follow-up, they don't come up again.

BodyTalk is a very comprehensive modality and Susan is particularly advanced in her work. "BodyTalk works on chakras, meridian pathways, energy blockages. I can feel them in the body. Post-traumatic stress, something that many of us have not identified as part of our life, can be relieved. We may still have the memories but the emotional charge and debilitating effects on a person's life are removed."
