Nancy and BodyTalk crossed paths in 2001 when she was seeking a solution to arthritis in her hands that was hindering her ongoing practice of Medical Acupuncture. The arthritis had failed to respond to the different modalities she had explored. After three BodyTalk sessions, her symptoms vanished, and she decided to add BodyTalk to her healing repertoire!

Nancy was raised in the United States but has lived her adult life in Venezuela and, now, Mexico. She received her first degree in humanities and pursued medical studies later, devoting her attention to behavioral and mind-body health. After graduating as a General Practitioner from Venezuela’s Central University, she worked in public health and continued to seek training in Mind-Body Medicine. It has been her good fortune to work with a number of the wonderful healers of our time, who have generously shared their wisdom, including Drs. Herb Benson, Norman Shealy, Caroline Myss, Bernie Siegel, Christiane Northrup, Robert Monroe, Jose Luis Padilla, Jesus M. Martínez, and several others who continue to influence her ongoing work. She is deeply grateful to them and to the inspiration of John and Esther Veltheim and is always striving to express these rich lessons through her teaching and practice.

The realities of health and disease in our times discouraged Nancy’s ambition of a purely “preventive” practice, so she studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in a quest to complete her understanding of the human well-being. She worked happily as a Medical Acupuncturist until discovering BodyTalk in the persons of John and Esther Veltheim, to whom she is indebted for their uncanny ability to knit the wisdom of the ages with current scientific understanding. The study and practice of the BodyTalk System finally allowed Nancy to approach patients with a toolbox that is truly integrative, and through which she is able to express her diverse background in healing.
