My own experience with the Metamorphic Technique and BodyTalk is what led me to become a practitioner of both.
I know that many extremely positive changes occurred in my life that could not have happened without the Metamorphic Technique and BodyTalk.
Changes like setting up my own business (something I could never have envisaged doing before – that was something other people did), letting go of certain friendships and making better ones, releasing long-standing beliefs and attitudes that had limited me, and clearing chronic health problems that were far from life-threatening, but had certainly been life-limiting. And the most noticeable thing about these changes is that they happened easily and smoothly…with virtually no effort on my part.
Below you will find comments and testimonials from journalists, practitioners and clients (my own and those of other practitioners).
I am in the process of adding BodyTalk testimonials so for the moment only the Metamorphic ones appear.
If you have experienced Metamorphic Technique or BodyTalk and would like to let me know how it affected you, I will be happy to include your comments (names will be changed).

"The
Metamorphic Technique
This is one of those secret hands-on therapies which those of us who
swear by like to keep quiet about - not least because skilled
practitioners are few and far between. If the secret about how
brilliant it is ever got out, none of us would ever get an appointment
again!
A spin-off from Reflexology, The Metamorphic Technique was first
developed in the 1960s to help treat what we would now refer to as
autistic children. Good practitioners describe how they simply
“hold” the energy while your child’s own life force gets to work
to eliminate emotional blocks that may be preventing them from
reaching their full potential or causing behavioural problems.
The theory is that from the very moment of conception, traumas are held
within the memory of every cell in the body and that until these
memories are released, an individual cannot make progress. These
releases are triggered by a gentle foot, hand and head massage that
most children find reassuring. Your child remains dressed throughout a
session and will only remove their shoes and socks.
Most of the children I know who have regular sessions take a favourite
video to watch during the treatment and, although not a talk therapy,
it is best if mum stays out of the room where her presence may be
inhibiting."

“The success of any holistic healthcare programme lies, ultimately, with you. These therapies are not an insurance against junk diets, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, or even depression. They work to support you holistically but the real work comes from you. That is why I like some of the more powerful and less obvious techniques, especially the Metamorphic Technique where a good practitioner will tell you: “You do all the work, I just hold the energies.”

14 Mar 2004: Changing life patterns
"What
can you suggest for someone whose life just seems to have got stuck?
I’m stuck in the same old patterns, the same old relationships and
the same old job and, although other people think I am successful, at
42 feel I have nothing to look forward to. I am quite private and do
not want to get involved with a therapist. Is there anything out there
for me?
Name and address withheld
I have the perfect therapy for you, not least because you do not have to talk at all. The Metamorphic Technique is one of those little-known therapies that everyone who stumbles across swears by because it not only changes lives, it changes them fast…”

“I looked in my supermarket trolley one day and realised it was full of vegetables. I realised that I couldn’t remember when I’d last given in to temptation and had a cigarette or an alcoholic drink. Quite simply, these props no longer feature in my life. I found that I couldn’t eat meat, and I couldn’t stand crowds or excessive noise. It was as if, physically, I’d been spring-cleaned. Emotionally, I felt as if I’d shed all the traumas that had been blighting my life and could finally move on”.

That was unexpected!
Posted Jun 19, 2002 by MaggyW
So there I was, dating this guy - the first since my husband left - and I
just wasn't feeling sexy...nice enough man; very attractive and all
that but I wasn't there.
My friend Barbara offered me a metamorphic technique which was
amazingly gentle and pleasant and which didn't really seem to do much.
And I went out to see my bloke that night.
What a change! I was right there; totally enthusiastic, willing to
take the relationship to another stage and thoroughly turned on by
things which had had me going 'and your point is?' only a week before.
I don't know if this is the general effect of metamorphic - and I'm
not sure if I'd want it to be. But it certainly moved me on
psychologically in quite a few ways

“One client of mine found a job working with handicapped young people after 5 treatments. She finds her work deeply satisfying, but what is more, her husband moved into a permanent job which uses and values his talents, after spending many years working from contract to contract with no security. her son took up an apprenticeship and her daughter is performing very well at University. She also sold her existing house and bought a new one very easily and smoothly”.

“I have seen such profound transformations both in myself and in others through this simple process that I am left in awe. I myself changed home, moved 200 miles, gave up a thriving practice to reinvent myself somewhere very different, back in my native Yorkshire. I have seen so many people move beyond stuck situations and connect with their true essence.”

"[It] felt as if time just disappeared (good job I was on holiday from work!) and I felt at one with nature again. I felt a feeling of mourning, but tremendous deep and profound peace within me. In addition to this my frozen shoulder and numbness has disappeared, my left side has become well again and I can lift my arm and lift objects, which I could not do for years. My energy is fine and I feel very much at peace”.

“As a 'patient', the one who lets it happen, I have also come a long way with it and I am sure, my life would not be the same without it. If I may share very personally, I feel, that with the help of the Metamorphic Technique my eating disorder's patterns have shifted totally”.

“One
lady who didn't feel a lot herself after two sessions said that her
husband told her that wherever she'd been and whatever she'd had, she
must go and get some more because it had made a huge difference!!
Another lady told me that after only her first session she noticed a
dramatic difference in the way she coped and all her work colleagues
noticed and asked what she had been "on". This same lady has
just had an appraisal at work which went exceptionally well and her
boss commented on the amazing change in her in recent weeks. My
'client' then gave her boss one of my leaflets and thinks she will
come and visit me.
On a light note, I have one lady who comes and brings her lovely old
labrador with her. At one stage during the session he always pushes
his head under my hand and I give him a little Metamorphic touch on
his head and spine and he goes off behind the arm chair quite happily
for the rest of the time.”
“I
have had a lady just recently whose husband has suffered badly with
depression over many years. After her first session, she said that she
was communicating with her husband in a different way, quite
naturally, and that it had made a huge difference.
After her second session, she said that the spark of joy which had
been missing in her life, had come back and she was overjoyed about
it! It is so very encouraging when these feedbacks are given to us.”

“After giving 4 20-minute sessions to A., a 7 year old girl who had been listless for many months and experiencing headaches and tummy aches, I received an e-mail from her mother which read “Your magic fingers have cured A. !!”. As an MT practitioner I know it’s the child’s life force which did the work, but if that’s how the client sees it, so be it. A. continues to be fine”.
