Appreciating Monday- more energy, less snuggling of the tissue box, my nose seems to be finished exercising, yesterday less than 400 steps, this morning already 4x that amount. Peter told Dali I was taking today off from our walk to continue to rest & recover, Dali offered to bring by Wilhelmina wolf, so I could have a toy to fling & chase around my house. Dali🐾 is so generous! Lying low again today, it just may be time for holiday movies ❤️🐾🌈🌎🌊🐬🌺🌴🙏🎶😎

I wear two masks in my office and I provide a second mask for clients asking them to do the same. I wear two mask when I go into public places, as well.

It creates more of an "obstacle course" for particles to make their way through into the body, research shows.

As Bernie see’s it, When it comes to working with people, the phrase “One size fits all,” rarely applies. People are unique in their experiences, their perspective, as well as their emotional response to life and it’s many layers.

What if you found someone who held that vision of your uniqueness? What if together you find a way to honor the wholeness of you?
What if by linking aspects of your Body, Mind, & Spirit lead to integration & balance of health & well being?

At age 16, She read Ralph Waldo Emerson in an English class. In that moment of discovery, possibility was born. She began to see the world differently. Not only did she believe in her own possibilities, she believed she could see possibilities in others. Bernie looked beyond their exterior and KNEW within them, whatever they desired could be achieved. She began helping people discover whatever they desired, could be accomplished. Her life & her work continue to be inspired by this quote by Emerson:
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters to what lies within us.”

Today, she teaches, coaches, & speaks with individuals & groups on movement, health & spirituality using the profound connection of “what lies within.”
Bernie’s BodyTalk practice is built on a foundation of multiple body therapies including massage, Rieki, MyoFascial Release, and Matrix Energetics. Bernie balances her BodyTalk practice, with Mind Body Life Coaching and Spiritual Counseling. She sees clients with a wide variety of concerns in her Ventura, CA office.
Bernie offers workshops, book studies and is also available for long distance/remote sessions.

Healing Meditations – First Wednesday – 6:30pm – Live via Zoom (links below)
Bernie Austin, RScP and Lida Martin RScP
On Wednesday, May 6th, 2020 Bernie Austin is leading an experience of tapping into the body’s wisdom of communication and self healing through the use of BodyTalk, an energy modality that connects to natural healing systems of the body mind and relieves stress. A combination of breath, touch and tapping enhance focus, restoring communication within the body mind. These patterns can easily restore a sense of harmony and balance. An integration meditation follows the experience with time to share and ask questions.

From a recent interview. Thanks Jennifer!

Continuing with ‘Women in Business,’ say hello to BERNIE AUSTIN! I have been blessed to know Bernie for many years, and she is someone who absolutely embodies joy to the fullest, and is so fun to be around. Bernie brings that joy along with a wealth of knowledge to the work she does, and I have been lucky enough to take her classes, as well as co-facilitate courses together. In Bernie’s practice she incorporates her education as a Life Coach, Massage Therapist, and BodyTalk Practitioner to see beyond the whole expression of what her client is talking about or feeling. ♥️
