Bowen Therapy / NST Aromatherapy Yoga Flower Essences
I trust that the following information will help you to understand how the powerful but gentle Bowen therapy can assist you in returning to a better state of health and well-being. Remember, you do not have to be in pain to have a Bowen treatment – it is a deeply relaxing and very balancing therapy that restores harmony in mind and body while maintaining or improving your freedom of movement.
At last a place to relax deeply and experience fast pain relief!
If you relate to any of these:
Sick of being in pain
- tired of feeling tired and lethargic because you can’t get comfortable in bed
- find it hard to concentrate at work due to aches and pains
- your hips and knees feel so stiff you can’t bend or move quickly
- you injured yourself at work or playing sport and want to get back to normal ASAP
- you have RSI or some other overuse syndrome that is limiting your life
- your neck and shoulders feel tight and sore from too many hours on the computer
- driving a car is a real challenge due to your restricted neck movement and painful lower back / sciatica (which makes even using the pedals tricky!)
- would love to play around with your kids or grandkids the way you used to?
- you long to get back into some sort of exercise to lose that weight you have put on (since the pain began to limit your movement)
- you can’t remember the last time that you felt your body was flexible and free to bend and move without being tight and sore
You feel depressed and frustrated because your body isn’t able to do all the things you want it to
If so, you need to book in for your first session now! Why wait and put up with the pain any longer?

What to expect from your Bowen therapy session.
Bowen Therapy is an amazing healing therapy that can give quick relief from pain and discomfort. It is does not involve hard, deep pressure from remedial massage strokes or painful pressure point techniques and stretches.
The session involves a series of gentle soft tissue movements that roll over specific points on the body. These points can include muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Throughout the session there are short waiting periods of 2 – 5 minutes that allow the body and brain time to process and respond to the new information, before sending a message down to that area to relax and release the tension or pain.
Why is Bowen Different?
The major difference with Bowen Therapy (and in particular Neuro Structural Integration Technique- NST) is that it restores balance and harmony to the WHOLE body. Bowen therapists believe that the body innately knows how to heal itself if given the correct internal environment and information.
The sequence of moves made by the Bowen therapist sets up a cascade of beneficial changes that unfold over a few days, allowing the body to let go and release the tension when it is ready to make the adjustment.
By “reinstalling” the correct information for the correct position, the body will naturally release and realign itself within a short space of time, rather than being forced to resume a position that it is not ready to adopt. Often most of the changes happen during the session, and then continue over the next few days. You start to feel less pain, more movement, improved sleep pattern and more energy plus an increased awareness of how your body is feeling as it changes back to a more normal state.
So, if you come with a sore neck, I will still treat your whole body because the body is a complete, inter-connected system. If one area is in pain it eventually affects the rest of the body too. After an injury, you often start to get sore in other areas of your body or on the opposite side. This is because your body is working overtime trying to compensate for your injury and keep you functioning as normally as possible. As time passes, the extra strain creates an additional set of problems or pains in this area of the body as well.
Clients often comment that they ”feel even more relaxed than when I have a massage!” They state that they feel very light, blissful, content and have an improved sense of wellbeing. “ I felt as if I was in deep and total peace”
Course of Care - Ongoing Maintenance for Optimum Health and Wellbeing
Your initial course of corrective care consists of 3 x 1 hour sessions one week apart. We then assess your progress and decide if you feel your body is ready to move on to a maintenance program. This is just a regular session every 4 – 8 weeks or so, planned so we can continue releasing the stress out of your body on a regular basis. Thus preventing the effects of stress from building up to such an extent that you are injured or in severe pain again.
Remember your pains and injuries are often the result of many years of wear and tear, stress and strain that you have often just ignored because you are so busy with everyday life. If you maintain this pattern of “busyness” and don’t continue to deal with or release the stress out of your body in an regular and effective way, the same problem or a related one can occur again.
As your therapist, my main aim is to educate you and empower you with a combination of simple but effective strategies to assist you in staying healthy, happy, relaxed and as pain–free as possible.
You would never let your car go for years without having any services or maintenance done would you? So, why would you let your precious body go for long periods without regular rebalancing and check-ups for general wear and tear?
Stretches and exercises At the end of the session I sometimes suggest specific exercises or stretches. These help to enhance the healing process by gently increasing flexibility and range of motion in the affected areas and help to prolong the benefits of Bowen.
Various stress management techniques If you have been very stressed or anxious because of your pain, I may also give instructions regarding simple self-care strategies such as deep breathing, visualisation and relaxation.
Sometimes, you can also come and experience the other wonderful, relaxing therapies I do. These techniques are aimed at creating a sense of deep relaxation and well-being by being very balancing, calming and restorative to both mind and body.
Other Therapies Available To Enhance your Wellbeing
Aromatherapy Is a beautiful, deeply relaxing therapy as it engages our sense of touch and smell using individualised blends of Aromatherapy essential oils to assist in healing and balancing your mind and body. I only use the highest quality essential oils and products. Individualised blend made to order.
Benefits of Aromatherapy It is very effective in alleviating various
skin problems (including wounds),
coughs, colds and other respiratory problems,
pain,
digestive and GIT disorders,
arthritis, sore muscles and joints,
relieving period pains and balancing unusual menstrual cycles.
relieving insomnia and reducing stress level
Aromatherapy can also have wonderful effects on creating a calming atmosphere in any home or work environment.
After decades of research around the world the essential oils have become well accepted as powerful healing tools that have many therapeutic properties. I have been using Aromatherapy extensively within my practice, as well as being a consultant setting up programs within nursing homes and hospice facilities since 1992.
Pulsing therapy where the whole body is gently rocked or “pulsed” in a soothing rhythm to help you relax and let go of stress. Very comforting and deeply nurturing! Stimulates the flow of lymphatic fluid through the body and releases tension and can improve movement and relax tense muscles.
Aromatic Crystal Healings A unique combination of essential oils and crystals that is deeply relaxing and balancing. Many clients are surprised at how amazingly calm and clear they feel for days afterwards.
Reiki and other energy techniques These can work subtly yet deeply to create deep relaxation and healing benefits within the body and mind. Offered as stand-alone sessions or in combination with other therapies.
Emotional support
Australian Bush Flower Essences Are an age-old remedy for many of our emotional and physical problems. They help to release emotional issues that can also be affecting you at a deeper level.
Australian Bush Flower Essences are very safe for both children and adults and work in a subtle way. Many clients comment on how they notice a sense of calm and control over aspects of their lives, thoughts or emotions that they did not have previously. The flower essences consist of drops taken under the tongue morning and night and can be safely used in conjunction with any other therapy or medication.
Cutting the Ties that Bind is a simple but powerful, guided visualisation technique for releasing unwanted negative behaviours, relationships, and beliefs that no longer serve you. (Is similar in many ways to the Journey)
Dru Yoga Is a flowing, calming, energising and relaxing style of yoga. Classes begin with an activation to warm up your body followed by the Energy Block Release. The EBR is unique to DRU releasing blockages in joints, muscles and energy centres in the body.
Stretches, asanas, flowing sequences, breathing, relaxation and meditation are all included to restore harmony and balance. You leave feeling energised, relaxed and uplifted.

Introducing myself I began my career in health and healing as a registered nurse years ago working in surgical, medical, paediatrics and geriatric nursing. I then trained as an Aromatherapistin 1992, which opened a whole new world of exciting therapies and introduced me to the idea of the mind / body connection in true healing. I love this field - aromatic oils are very therapeutic and so beautiful to use. I have been teaching Aromatherapy for many years both at Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) and CIT Solutions as well as regular workshops and presentations at conferences and in an array of workplaces, schools etc.
I commenced my Bowen Therapy training in 1993 and “took to it like a duck to water”. I was immediately intrigued with the amazing and rapid results that clients were having on a very consistent basis. This led to further training in an advanced form of Bowen known as Neuro Structural Integration Technique (NST is a lot easier to say!). This was a major leap forward and has been the cornerstone of my therapy work ever since. I am still in awe of this simple yet incredibly powerful technique and the rapid transformation it can have on so many problems in the body.
I have also trained in Reiki and other forms of energy healing.
My Clinic Is calm and serene, clean and comfortable with soft lighting and soothing music or you can enjoy the silence and birdsong. All therapies are delivered with a professional, caring, compassionate manner, and, often, a sense of humour!
(Please let me know if you have any allergies to essential oils prior to your appointment)
Wellbeing Workshops can be arranged for all sorts of groups, both large and small.) I regularly give talks, presentations and workshops to businesses, staff in schools and community groups etc to teach effective stress management techniques and healthy living tips, using a variety of the above therapies.
These workshops have become very popular being informative, interactive, fun and inspiring!
Contact me so we can tailor an event to suit your group.
Aromatherapy and Dru Yoga (which people love because of its flowing and energising sequences and postures and many fascinating tips on using essential oils.)
Massage for Couples (your partner or just a good friend) is an invaluable course where you learn how to safely give a flowing, soothing Swedish massage for deep relaxation, stress management and pain relief.
Aromatherapy in the Home and Workplace is a favourite where you learn lots of simple tips on how to blend and use essential oils for good health and harmony at work and home.
Aromatherapy and Crystal Healing is a great workshop where everyone learns how to give and receive a relaxing and balancing crystal healing.
