Natural Companions on the Road to Health and Longevity

Enlightened Home Chefs and BodyTalk Professionals Team Up in Ontario.   

By Judy Harper, BA, Contributing Editor, Holistic Cooking Academy of Canada.

Science has told us there are no new elements under the sun.  There are just many different ways to rearrange what is naturally available.  At the end of a harsh Toronto winter, spring unfolded in just such a meeting; old natural ideas joined to create a new common purpose. Judging by the combined energy in the room that March day, the collective vision that emerged has enormous potential to benefit us all. 

The Founder of BodyTalk Central - a practitioner and instructor - Cherie Carpenter met with Chef Lori Nichols Davies, CEO, Holistic Cooking Academy of Canada and honored member of Stanford’s Who’s Who of Canada 2009, as well as the Ottawa Independent Author’s Association for her 14 books on the Enlightened Home Chef ®.  Lori learned about BodyTalk ® in The Green Leader’s Guide. Two dedicated women are sharing a common commitment.  They both teach that nature knows best. Healthy, productive, long life is possible. Based on years of research and experiential knowledge, they are each dedicating their lives to ensuring a clear message gets out:

Adopt a few simple habits and you gain enormous lifestyle rewards.

Holistic teaching chefs are a new breed of chef - specialists who understand what is in food, where to shop for organic varieties, and how to prepare them to prevent disease and promote longevity. Practitioners or Technicians in the BodyTalk System are a new breed in the field of energy medicine – specialists who understands that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. They realize that emotional, physical and spiritual balance is possible, and they teach simple techniques to restore optimum health and promote longevity.

BodyTalk is now part of the curriculum content for Holistic Teaching Chefs.

Lori knew that BodyTalk was the perfect companion to her curriculum and her students were given the opportunity to experience and enjoy the benefit of sessions as part of their own journey to renewal and balance. The results were obvious –from the day the very first group of Lori’s teaching chefs experienced BodyTalk ® healing sessions. 

Cherie has been spreading the language of health through BodyTalk ® training workshops. Over the past seven years she has invited international instructors to Ontario and supports new professionals in the region by hosting a website and tirelessly sharing her knowledge. Lori’s curriculum - already based on Energy Kinesiology as she knew it helped reduce anxiety and confusion - has expanded to embrace the simple, effective energy medicine principles in the Body Talk system. 

Backed by an advisory board of experts, Lori has been instructing enlightened home chefs for ten years at Continuing Adult Education Programs at both Public and Catholic high schools. Incorporated in 2007, Lori began teaching the holistic teaching chefs from her home in the Ottawa River Valley and now in 2009 she is spreading her vast knowledge of foods and lifestyles to the Bowmanville, Toronto and Barrie areas.

I have been offering writing and editorial support for Cherie and other BodyTalk professionals since 2003. When I began working in a similar capacity with Lori last year, I knew this was a match made in heaven!  Energy medicine and diet are a magic combination!  Healthy immunity defeats virus, bacteria, inflammatory disease and autoimmune disorders. The body’s innate wisdom knows what to do – it just needs to be heard and allowed to do its work.

When this simple message becomes part of the every day conversation in homes and schools in communities across the nation, the benefits will be far greater than the immediate savings to over-taxed health care systems. Given the information and techniques we can depend on, we Canadians have seldom failed to demonstrate our independence and ‘take charge’ attitude. Relying on energy medicine and a good diet to maintain ultimate health seems so logical to me…and natural!
