A concept explored in the work of Dr Bessel van der Kolk reminds us that our experiences don’t just live in our thoughts.

They are reflected in the body.

Our bodies are constantly adapting to the pressures and pace of modern life.

When stress becomes ongoing, it can influence how we feel, move and function.

Paying attention to early signs — tension, fatigue, disrupted sleep, feeling “wired” or flat — is part of proactive self-care.

Approaches such as Bowen Therapy aim to work with the nervous system, creating space for the body to settle and reset.

Listening to the body isn’t weakness.
It’s wisdom.

We are getting our house painted - inside and out!
Lots of cleaning, decluttering, throwing out and being rather ruthless!
Interestingly it matches the final weeks of the Year of the Snake - shedding and letting go - touched with elements of sadness and nostalgia.
We have been waiting for two years for this - our painter and his crew are wonderful and went over and beyond to get me back in the clinic for today’s clients.
Can’t help but connect this process to our own healing journey…..
We know some work needs to be done on ourselves, we wait, not the right time, haven’t found the right fit with a practitioner, yes! Found who I resonate with, what can’t get in until…when? The decluttering and cleaning starts even before you get to the session (how is that possible?) then during the balance so many things come up (do you discard, hold on or gently be in allowance of the process)
But wait there’s more …
That’s only the beginning. There is no quick fix, liken it to the ‘unlayering of an onion’ analogy.
Is it worth the work, the investment in self and time ? Absolutely, If it is to be, it is up to me.
THE JOURNEY IS THE DESTINATION.
Going back to my clinic - is this completed? No, I’ll continue to adjust, move things around and clear out any energies that don’t serve anymore.
Let me know how you are navigating these final days of The Year of the Snake. What have you let go of, what changes, growth and new opportunities have you created?

ADHD… so much more than a diagnosis and a prescribed pill! As well as all those contributors there’s possible trauma (known or unknown)

When one system is under stress, others respond.

Posture influences muscle tension.
Muscle tension affects breathing.
Breathing shapes nervous system tone.
And nervous system stress can change how the whole body functions.

Bowen Therapy listens to the entire conversation — not just the loudest complaint.
