The Measure of Life:
People learn to reduce their capacity for life by the measure of their health. The more their health is compromised, so is their life. Eventually they settle for 'living' less. It's your choice, you deserve better, you deserve to enjoy life to the full, to do the things you want to do with optimal health.
Parents often sacrifice themselves in the mistaken belief that their children and family come first. If you lose your health, you lose the capacity to care for those you love.
Choose to make a difference for yourself, who told you to settle for less ... ?
Who told you "it's what happens as you get older; you just have to accept it"?
Who told you "that's just the way things are, learn to live with it"?
Have you ever thought to question what everyone else is now considering as 'normal' ...? I'll bet you haven't, because everywhere you look, that's what everyone else is accepting. Why settle for what everyone else settles for when you can do something about it?
At least question what you are being told, question and investigate and question some more.

What IS it all about?
Bowen Therapy is Holistic
Bowen is a non-manipulative, non-invasive holistic treatment and soft tissue remedial therapy. The Bowen moves bring about profound and often remarkable results by penetrating to a deep cellular level, incorporating the body’s unique ability to heal itself. Bowen Therapy may very well be one of the single most important complementary therapies to facilitate healing of the whole body.
How Bowen Therapy works
The work consists of a series of rolling movements or moves over muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves using a varying touch, retrieving cellular memory of the body’s preferred balanced way of being. By combining moves, both in placement and in sequence, the therapist is able to address the body as a whole, or target a specific problem.
Bowen moves stimulate proprioceptors and lead to corrections in muscles, tendons, nerves and posture. It helps restore the parasympathetic nervous system which creates homeostasis at the cellular level, improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation and aiding in the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins. It reduces stress reactions and improves recovery responses.
The Benefits
The principal benefit of Bowen Therapy is the often rapid and long term or permanent remission from pain, reduced stress, greater mobility and improved physical and emotional quality and enjoyment of life. Additional benefits can include increased energy, improvement in the immune system, rebalancing of the body, improved circulation, lymphatic drainage and detoxification. Further and important benefits of Bowen Therapy are that it has few contraindications and continues to 'work' on the body for up to 5 days following treatment. It is very gentle, relaxing and non-invasive involving no manipulation, and is therefore ideal for everyone from newborns right through to the aged, at any level of fragility.

Allow 1 hour. Your case history will be taken followed by assessments relevant to your issue. A treatment takes around 30-45 minutes with the work performed on skin or through light clothing One treatment often provides immediate relief and sometimes can completely fix the problem. At the minimum it will initiate your body to respond, like a wake-up call, providing improved ease of movement, suppleness and relaxation.
Further Treatments:
3-4 treatments at weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long-standing pain, though more are sometimes required. (Further treatments may range from 20 mins to 50 mins). We ask that before your next visit, you consider how you respnded to your treatment and any changes you have noticed and to share that with us at your next appointment.

What else do we offer at our clinic?
Hormonal & Fertility Treatments
Hormonal treatments are indicated if women suffer from premenstrual syndrome (pms), dysmenorrhoea (cramps), menorrhagia (flooding), endometriosis and irregular periods. Men, who have prostate problems that include, frequent urination, abdominal heaviness, residual urine, voiding volume, prostate volume and peak flow. The first signs are night urination and difficult urination.
Bowen treatments play a major role in overcoming many of these symptoms by releasing tension and stimulating specific nerves and organs, balance is created where previously there was imbalance. The therapy is very straightforward, is completely non-invasive and effective. For women, several treatments are recommended that are dictated by their menstrual cycle and usually occur at 14 day intervals, for approximately 3 full cycles. Therefore, often 5-6 treatments will achieve remarkable results. For men, often one or sometimes two treatments will get noticeable results, with a maintenance treatment for prostate health every 2-3 months recommended.
Fertility
When the menstrual cycle is correctly functioning (and we treat both partners as it is essential to ensure his system is functioning correctly too - healthy eggs and healthy little swimmers!); it provides a positive benefit towards better fertility for the couple. In order to treat fertility , a complete program over several months is required, coupled with additional diet and naturopathic support.
Energy Healing with Reiki
Reiki increases vitality.
When we consider that energy is the foundation of all life, it makes sense that if we have more energy constantly available to us the natural by-product of this is a gradual enhancement of our health and personal well-being.
- Reiki not only heals the physical body, it works towards healing the cause of illness, thereby eliminating the effects of imbalance.
- Reiki does not conflict with religious beliefs, therefore anyone can benefit from it without concern.
- Reiki is an intelligent energy, which goes to the greatest need. It begins to flow when you are touched, (although it can be performed without direct touch if necessary).
- It does not interfere with medical treatments: rather it enhances medications and assists the body to heal at optimal speed.
- It calms nervous tension, calms fears and subdues negative emotions. It is always safe and can never cause harm.
- Belief in Reiki is not a requirement for it to work. It is not a belief system, nor is it a placebo effect. Even if you have no faith in Reiki, healing effects still result.
Nutrition and fat loss:
As part of providing attention to holistic wellbeing, diet is often considered when a client is serious about regaining optimal health. There are several options that are provided, which can include small or radical changes in eating and drinking habits. Sometimes supplementation is necessary to ensure the client’s goals can be achieved. A plan of action is devised with the client to ensure their goals are achievable in a manageable way. We offer ongoing support as required.
Testimonials
Neck, Shoulder, Back, Feet
I consulted Susan after my GP suggested I try Bowen. As a result of a fall I experienced pain in my neck, shoulders, back and feet. I also had Plantar Fasciitis with heel and under-foot pain. After receiving a few treatments the pains disappeared and I was able to walk more freely again.
I fully appreciated the gentleness and non-invasive nature of Bowen Therapy.
Erica
Hormonal Issues
I went to Susan complaining of headaches which I would have for a week during menstruation. My periods would last 7 days, were heavy, offensive and contained clots. I was also diagnosed as anaemic (due to the heavy bleeds). Susan decided to try hormone treatment for me and after three months the amount I was losing was reduced by half, with no clots. The colour had improved, it was no longer offensive and my headaches were reduced and sometimes none at all. When I checked with my doctor I was no longer anaemic (so therefore did not require the recommended hysterectomy). 10 months later my periods remain unchanged and headaches are minimal.
Thank you Susan

General Wellbeing & Oedema
I came to Susan in February 2008. I am in my 70s and have to use a walking frame due to circulation and muscle deterioration problems. At my first visit I was unable to walk very far due to massive fluid retention throughout my body, but especially in my legs and arms. The weight of the fluid made it impossible to raise my arms above shoulder height and it was very difficult to walk. Turning over in bed was also extremely difficult.
After the very first treatment, I was able to raise my arms fully above my head. I was so amazed I burst into tears as I had not been able to do that for many years. It felt so wonderful. I was also able to stand straight and walk more easily.
Later Susan treated me for fluid retention and it wasn’t long before I had to literally purchase new clothes as the old clothes were now so loose they were falling off me. I lost so much ‘weight’ with the fluid, that walking is much easier; turning over in bed is done with virtual ease. Even my doctor was amazed at the changes in me since I’ve been receiving Bowen on a regular basis.
Due to my condition I will always retain fluid, but with the help of Bowen, and thanks to their suggestions for exercise, better diet and added nutritional support, I have my life back on track and see possibilities for continued improvement more than I ever thought possible, before I came to Susan and Steve’s clinic.
