Andrea Carter has been in complimentary medicine for over 10 years. She completed her Psychology Degree at Bishop’s University, in Lennoxville, Quebec. While attending Bishop’s, Andrea also worked as a Junior Athletic Therapist for all varsity sports teams. It was during this time that Andrea noticed the integration between mental states of health and athletic success or injuries.
After graduation, Andrea went on to complete the 2,200 hour massage therapy diploma from Foothills College of Massage Therapy. Following the completion of her diploma, Andrea was invited to teach at the College. Again, Andrea was intrigued by the relationship between emotional holding patterns within the connective tissue, and the psychological state of the individual.
This led Andrea to the BodyTalk System, where she completed all trainings, and went on to Instruct both The BodyTalk System, and MindScape. It was with this training that Andrea was able to amalgamate her deep knowing that the mind and body are intrinsically connected, and her passion was able to be fulfilled in teaching these principles to others. Andrea has built a prominent BodyTalk practice in south Calgary in conjunction with her teaching. Her specialties range from Sports injuries, to infertility, and chronic pain. Andrea’s teaching and practice has created her prominent influence in the Calgary BodyTalk Community.
Due to Andrea’s dedication and style, she has been invited across Canada to teach both The BodyTalk System and MindScape. If you are interested in having Andrea teach in your area, please contact her directly and she will be happy to accommodate you. Otherwise please visit the BodyTalk or MindScape sections to see Andrea’s schedule for a seminar near you!

BodyTalk was not something that I ever imagined being part of. My background being in Psychology and Biological Sciences never allowed me to think that “energy medicine” was anything “valid”. It wasn’t until I was attending Foothills College of Massage Therapy that it was even considered. I began having migraines that would last 5 - 7 days and I would need to go to the hospital to get a shot of toridol to take the edge off.
I began trying various different modalities because I’ve never been a person to take medications. After trying chiropractic, massage therapy, craniosacral, myofascial, acupuncture, nutritional supplements, naturopathic remedies, homeopathic remedies and lots and lots of different types of medications I’d had enough. Nothing was helping and I was starting to get more and more migraines.One of the Instructors at the college who was then just getting into BodyTalk asked me if I’d consider trying it. I was convinced that it was not going to help, but said yes because I had nothing else to lose at this point. With the first session, my migraine softened to a headache, and within 2 months my migraines were gone. Funny enough it was so subtle that I had not even noticed that they were gone. One day I said to my husband, “that BodyTalk stuff doesn’t work”. He laughed at me and said, “right so that’s why you no longer have migraines”. It was after he pointed it out that I started noticing all of the other things that had changed within me as well. I was feeling better, had more energy, was a lot calmer, and was not as reactive to my environment.
From there I needed to learn more as to why “energy work” was what helped. It didn’t make sense that it worked, so I had to find out why it worked! took Module 1 and 2 and discovered why the protocol and procedures are so effective. I gained a new understanding for how the body works and how we can actually communicate with our bodies on an energetic and physical level simultaneously. From there I couldn’t get enough! I took all of the 9 modules and then started my training to instruct. I haven’t looked back since then.Many other fantastic things have continued to evolve and grow, and I attribute them to the BodyTalk System.Recently that includes my son, Logan Jakob Carter. When I was 18 years old, I was diagnosed with cancer. After having surgery to remove the damaged tissues, the doctor told me that I would have trouble conceiving, if I was able to at all.
After an incredibly healthy pregnancy and a 7 hour delivery I now have an incredible bundle of joy. It is for that reason that I will always work with the system, and continue to instruct it so that I can help give others what it has given me. A new way of living, a new outlook on life, and a new respect for all things in life. My passion lies in this system because of how it has changed me.
About Andrea’s Students
“I had the pleasure of attending my first Mindscape course with Andrea. It was fun, well thought out and well delivered. At the end of the course I was able to use all of the skills immediately. Any questions I had, Andrea was quick to follow up on and answer thoroughly. I think one of the best parts of the course were the follow up conference calls. They reminded me to practice, to be clear with my visualization and to explore more avenues within my workshop. I would take it again.”

After signing up for the MindScape course from a business focus, I can see multiple applications from a personal perspective as well. The learned discipline from this program has helped focus my attention on what’s actually important, rather than on the many distractions that negatively impact strategic thinking. I recommend this training program to everyone who wants to finetune their thinking abilities.
