Reviews
“This book is a timely and inspirational work, profound, complex and sensitively written. It is wonderful to read. It makes us aware of the connections between the body’s functional and spiritual biology, the poetics of the universal language, the meaning of beautiful age old stories, and their myriad manifestations in the human spirit. It is full of profound insights and valuable wisdom.” (Excerpt from interview, click here for full text)

“Nancy Mellon’s Body Eloquence is a truly wondrous book. From the absolutely beautiful cover to the very last page of it, I could not find fault with it. The way the author wove together storytelling, science, medicine, myths, exercises and more was incredibly marvelous. There was no way to put it down, and no way that I would voluntarily decide to part with this book for good, although I plan to get a few copies for those near and dear to me. Ms. Mellon reintroduces us to different body organs, and all of a sudden we see many layers of their roles and meaning for our entire body. She retells stories and myths, makes us see what really matters and what we have been missing and also introduces a wonderful healing technique, which through the art of storytelling helps us to get our bodies in perfect balance.” (Excerpt: For full review click here)

“With the gift of Body Eloquence, Nancy Mellon presents a rich tool kit we can access to summon the guiding wisdom of storytelling. I am convinced that stories provide a vital way in, a link that catalyzes the body’s inherent healing energies. I am convinced there is bountiful treasure to mine in Nancy Mellon’s work. Indeed, we could structure one or more repatternings from this material much as Carin Block has capitalized on the riches of Bert Hellinger’s work. As I was reading, I was reminded of Chloe’s heartfelt declaration: “A single session can change a person’s life!” That is indeed true. Guiding clients to reconnect with their essential life story is a powerful ally in our practice.” (Excerpt: For full review click here)
