Niesamowita historia 😌🙌
ABOUT ME
Everyone has a story to tell how Bowen Therapy has changed their life. Its time to share mine. I remember Ossie and Elaine RENTSCH (the Principals of Bowen Academy of Australia) always say to students 'Bowen has found you'.
I began my initial working career after High School as a full time NSW Police Officer for a period of 23 years.
Over the years alot of my clients have asked me how I became a Bowen Therapist and I never expressed that officially until I got reminded last weekend by my high school friend and now a successful Bowen Therapist himself Don COOMBES DC Bowen Therapy Mudgee
In June 2007 my life has changed forever. I was driving my 4 year old daughter to local pre school (2 days before her 5th birthday) in the morning when another car collided into the rear of my car at high speed and instantaneously caused fatal injury to my daughter. This impact forcefully shifted my car onto the incorrect side of the roadway where my car received another side impact.
As a result, I received massive injuries to my entire spine and initally thought by doctors to be spinal cord injury but fortunately it was 7 protruding discs at once and torn ligaments in my knee.
Despite all of the physical injuries and crippling pain and possible surgeries, the biggest injury was the grieving process of losing my daughter and the impact it had on my family.
After few weeks of suffering with these debilitating injuries I came across a very understanding, loving and compassionate female Bowen Therapist who offered me 6 treatments as her way of helping me go through this difficult period. Just like everyone else, I had no idea what this Therapy was about but I had nothing to lose and only to try something different to help my body in the injury recovery process.
WOW....after 6 weeks of treatments I would never believe that such a simplistic, gentle and deeply relaxing modality created such an impact of recovery that facilitated such a deep healing process on physical and emotional levels by grounding me emotionally and balancing the Nervous System to return to life. I did not have the need to do any surgery.
Within 3 months of my accident I was back at Policing and began my studies in becoming a Bowen Therapist. That journey began in 2008 which then followed to a Diploma and numerous other Bowen Specialised Chronic Conditions Courses over the past 15 years of practice now.
As such, the traumatic experience me and my family endured has shaped the Therapist I am today. Having first hand experience in surviving trauma and being able to regain my well-being and quality of life, I can only be so grateful that Bowen Therapy exists.
We have been given a gift by Mr Tom BOWEN who developed this Modality with an understanding of the body's innate intelligence. Bowen work initiates the natural self healing response in the body by prompting the body to let go of tension. It's all about the body doing all the work by facilitating and providing an optimum safe healing environment for repair and recovery to take place which often due to Trauma, Injuries and both Internal and External Stresses that repair process has been halted.
In 2013 I officially retired from Policing in order to dedicate my life to Bowen work full time to help others ease suffering from understanding now how TRAUMA, STRESS and Postural imbalances negates our bodies in achieving full potential in well- being, addressing pain and returning to health and balance.
I am blessed, privileged and honoured to have this experience in witnessing daily Miracles through my personalised approach to treatments and an opportunity to make a difference. The Business name....Bowen Therapy - 'LITTLE ANGEL' has been created in memory of my daughter.
