Some good news if you have private health insurance extras cover. In 2019, the Federal Government removed private health rebates for naturopathy and other complementary therapies. After a recent review, health insurance rebate for Naturopathy and Western Herbal Medicine will be re-instated.

Congratulations to everyone who worked hard to help this happen. 🙏🙂🥂

This is so true 🙂

Your Bowen Therapist isn’t focused on how you look — we’re focused on how you feel.

Pain, tension, and imbalance are what we’re trained to see and support.

No judgment, just healing hands.

I shared this about 10 years ago, and it's still relevant today.

High consumption of highly processed foods are one of the leading contributors to the development of chronic diseases (high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, many cancers, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes, etc.). There are other contributors to chronic diseases, such as a sedentary lifestyle, chronic unmanaged stress, poor sleep, excess alcohol consumption and smoking.

Eating a diet high in processed foods, getting little or no physical activity, not managing your stress levels, not sleeping well and drinking alcohol excessively and smoking, is a recipe for disaster to your health and well-being.

I first discovered Bowen Therapy by chance more than 10 years ago. I'd never heard about it before and didn't even know what to expect. I only had a brief 10 minute session with a practitioner to help release severe knots in my upper back and shoulders. To my surprise, it worked very effectively, even though I didn't get a full treatment. I wanted to find out more about this amazing technique, and before I knew it, I was enrolled in the next training course through Bowen Training Australia.

Today, Bowen Therapy is one of the most sought after service I provide in my clinic.

I often get asked, 'What is Bowen Therapy and how can it help me?'. I have shared my blog post below to help answer most of the questions you might have.
