Christmas is just around the corner!
I'll be away from Christmas Day and returning on January 2nd.
Having some time on the beach with my pup and hanging with the family during that time.
It snuck up on me this year - but I'm almost ready - even bought a proper fruitcake!
Have a wonderful break, and if that's not possible, think of the time off you'll have once the rush is over!

Bowen Therapy Explained
What to expect during and after a Bowen session
Bowen Therapy is still an unknown health modality to many people.
Although many of my new clients are referrals from other satisfied customers, these individuals arrive with no idea of what to expect. Even the reality of lying on a massage table can be a confusing initiation, let alone trusting a stranger to do ‘something’ to their body and hopefully rid them of pain.
So I thought I’d run through a few things to expect during and after a Bowen Therapy session with me.

Bowen therapy explained -There may be tingling, a pulsing, a feeling of energy rushing through the body or an overwhelming sensation of heaviness

Bowen Therapy begins its work by putting the body into a deep state of relaxation, which allows the parasympathetic system to kick in, taking the body out of the fight or flight mode (sympathetic) caused by being in pain.

What can Bowen Therapy do for chronic, long-term pain?
Bowen Therapy will adjust the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia, allowing the body to return to its optimal position of alignment – within its own possibilities.
Long-term pain will usually start after something simple. It starts as an acute, sudden onset of pain, often in the back or neck. It can also creep up. So many times we all feel our bodies start to twitch or feel tweaky, but we keep on going (often trying to get through the pain by exercising more, thinking we can simply get through it by mind-power) until it becomes unbearable and we “have to do something about it.
Some chronic pain can be fixed on the table, and some pain can be eased but needs to be maintained through awareness of how you move, eat, exercise and stress levels.
and Bowen.

I've been practicing Bowen Therapy for 25 years. During that time, I've learned several different ways to approach pain and body discomfort using Bowen.
Pain comes from accidents, wear and tear, work-related injury, operations, stress, and emotional upset.
Once we find out where the problem is coming from and realign your body, you can start to heal.

The weather has eased off now. So for those not flooded in, I am here in Macksville enjoying the light rain and cool breeze.
I thought I'd add a short explanation of what Bowen Therapy really is -
Bowen Therapy is a method of soft tissue manipulation aimed at identifying and correcting mechanical and neural dysfunctions. The approach takes a holistic view of the body's interrelationships and is designed to support the body's natural ability to self-regulate and heal.
The main focus of therapy is to restore the structural integrity of the spine and its supporting structures, thus resolving any issues that may compromise the function of the Central Nervous System.
That is - it works on the nervous system and the spine to rectify any bodily dysfunction - helping the body to self-regulate and heal.

Bowen Therapy is the treatment people are the most confused about so here is a quick explanation - there is more on my website.
Bowen Therapy is a procedure that has been around for more than 50 years is very gentle and non-invasive. It’s a treatment that’s done through light clothing and people often fall asleep during the session.
I have been practicing Bowen for 20 years and have had wonderful results with Chronic and acute pain, stress and depression.
Extremely safe treatment for newborns, the very elderly and pregnant women as well as injuries that have "just happened".
Bowen Therapy accesses the bodies own healing processes and helps the body to heal itself with the help of the precise manipulations a Bowen Therapist performs.
What I do is help people to understand their limits -physically and mentally-and help them to step through by challenging their limits and achieving the things they thought were impossible, utilising Bowen Therapy and always empathy and intuition.
