Biography

Gilly Adkins, PT, Adv.CBP, Adv.CBI, Parama BP

Gilly is a multi-faceted professional with a degree in Physiotherapy from London, England and many years experience in the healing and body-mind field. As a teenager, Gilly was ranked in the top 10 in tennis in her native England. Her early athletic experiences encouraged studies (in addition to physiotherapy) in mental sports training, personal and professional performance training, certified Inner Game Coach, and nutritional consultanting. Gilly is also a certified Bikram Yoga Instructor and owned and directed the original Yoga College of India in Portland, OR from 1996 to 2004.

Discovering The BodyTalk System™ in 1999, Gilly was "deeply impressed with Dr. John Veltheim and intuitively understood the significance of the System at once". After introducing The BodyTalkSystem to Portland, as a Certified Practitioner, she became a Certified BodyTalk Instructor in 2002 and is currently pursuing studies in Advanced BodyTalk, through PaRama College. She currently teaches Modules 1 & 2, Advanced Practical 1 & 2 and Module 4/7 in the US, Canada & the UK.

Gilly is well known for her understanding and articulation of the body-mind complex. Her expertise as a physiotherapist, along with her significant training background and mastery of BodyTalk, creates a wonderful learning environment for BodyTalk practitioners. Infusing her teaching/learning environment with grace and joy, Gilly delights in assisting practitioners with their own healing and helping them build their confidence in practice.

In her private practice Gilly addresses a wide variety of physical and psychological conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, viruses and infections, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, learning and behavior disorders, chemical sensitivities, food and environmental allergies and blood sugar imbalances.

Born in London, England, Gilly has lived in the United States since 1986 and has three children. She loves to travel and has toured extensively in Europe and Africa (she speaks French and is currently studying Italian). Every summer Gilly travels to England to visit family and teach BodyTalk.
