BOWEN THERAPY

---

Bowen Therapy is a gentle yet powerful form of bodywork which encourages your body to relax, unwind, and re-balance itself.

Bowen Therapy can be used to address specific problems and alleviate pain, as well as to treat the whole body and encourage a return to health.

Your body has an innate inner wisdom that wants to restore health and well-being, and the moves performed during a Bowen treatment open 'gateways' within the body that allow this it happen.

Named after Tom Bowen, who developed the work in Geelong, Australia during the 1960's and 70's, Bowen Therapy is now popular worldwide.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BOWEN TREATMENT?:

Bowen is performed through light clothing, with the recipient lying on a massage table.

Bowen 'moves' are light moves across muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. There is no forceful manipulation.

Usually the whole back is treated first, to promote relaxation and the free-flow of energy. Then, if necessary, specific moves are applied to treat pain.

The client often notices a deep state of relaxation during a Bowen treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

---

Q. How long does a treatment take?
A. Usually about one hour.

Q. What is the cost of a treatment?
A. The cost of a treatment is $70 initially, then $60 thereafter.

Q Is the treatment claimable from my Private Health Fund?
A. If you have appropriate cover, (i.e. Extracover) and if your Health Fund recognizes Bowen Therapy, some of the cost should be refundable. If you are not sure, ring your Fund and check.

Q. How many treatments will I need?
A. To treat long-standing problems, we usually recommend 3 treatments initially, with a few days between each treatment. Thereafter, you might consider regular monthly treatments to keep your body happy and healthy and balanced.

Q. I can't lie on a massage table. Can I still receive Bowen?
A. Yes. If necessary, Bowen can be performed with the client seated, or standing, or lying in a hospital bed.

Q. How long does it take for the treatment to reach its full effect?
A. Clients usually notice a significant difference after the first treatment, but the vibrational effect of the treatment will continue to work its way through to deeper and deeper levels of healing over a period of days.

Q. Can you fix my problem?
A. I will use my skills as a Bowen therapist to treat your body. Thereafter, your body will access its inner knowing to heal in the way that best suits you. Hopefully, it will alleviate pain and restore you to a state of ease. If the problem has developed over a long period of time, it will take time for your being to recover its equilibrium. That is the way of natural healing.

Q. Is Bowen safe for everyone?
A. Yes. It can safely be used on newborn babies, children, the elderly, and all ages in between.

ABOUT ME:

---

I became interested in Natural Therapies in the mid 1990's, in the course of seeking answers to my own health issues. I wanted to heal in a way that was true to me, and heal on a profound level.

Sometimes, when we are sick and in discomfort, all we want is for someone to take our pain away. But the hard lesson for me has been that I must take responsibility for my own health. Of course, I can reach out for assistance, but ultimately, my healing is up to me.

I studied many different modalities such as Massage and Reiki, before becoming interested in Bowen Therapy. I like Bowen because it is simple, yet profoundly effective. I have been a Bowen Therapist since 2004.

I operated a successful clinic in Brisbane, before re-locating to the more peaceful area of northern NSW in 2011. My clinic is now in Murwillumbah.

Before I became a Natural Therapist, I worked as a Primary School teacher. I love children and teaching, but I didn't enjoy working in 'the system'. Now, as well as being a Bowen Therapist, I tutor children individually in English and Maths during out-of-school hours.

TESTIMONIALS

I came to Debbie in desperation with severe sciatica. I was in constant pain, couldn't walk, sit, sleep or go to work in my own business. The doctor told me if I wasn't better within a few weeks I would need to have surgery. The first Bowen treatment didn't seem to make much difference, but after the second treatment I started to notice some easing of the pain, With regular treatments, after a couple of weeks I was feeling much better. I was working and going about my life in relative comfort and became confident that I would not need surgery. I now have Bowen regularly about once a month, and apart from a bit of numbness down my leg and into my foot, I feel fine. I am very grateful to have found relief that didn't involve surgery.

For over nine years I suffered constant, debilitating muscular pain, and despite having weekly treatments such as acupuncture, massage and osteopathy the condition persisted. Although those modalities did give some relief, it was only temporary and very quickly the pattern of pain returned. Then I found Bowen Therapy and that has changed, and continues to change, my life. By the third treatment the pain had subsided and the underlying pattern began to change. I continue to have follow-up maintenance treatments and, thanks to Debbie, I now enjoy a level of physical, mental and emotional freedom that I haven't felt in years.

I have to admit that yesterday when you began working on me, I thought, this is silly, this isn't going to do anything. Then I made myself stop thinking and just let it be. I did start to feel some changes happening and just to give you some feedback, I had the most amazing deep and refreshing night's sleep and have some more energy today. Funnily my ribs on the right side are sore, and my right leg feels muscular pain, which is so strange given that you hardly touched me (from a layman's perspective). I'm also sure that my hips are now level, but I will put that down to wishful thinking, given that I've only had one treatment, less than 24 hours ago. Also the tension in my shoulders is a lot better. I'm looking forward to my next session.

I've been to Debbie a few times now. I always feel wonderfully relaxed after a treatment and have a great night's sleep. I find the constant pain I had in my neck doesn't bother me now. Today I could feel the Bowen working, I was aware of the area Debbie was working on being tight, then like a fan opening the whole area relaxed. I am always impressed how gentle but how effective the treatments are.

I sought help from Debbie for a quite severe and debilitating tennis elbow. The treatment consisted of about 3 weekly visits then 2 or 3 visits about 3 weeks apart. Tennis elbow can be difficult to cure quickly. I believe Debbie's treatments were critical to my relatively quick return to good health. Debbie's calm and gentle manner contribute to a relaxing treatment experience.

I woke with a swollen knee that I could hardly bend, and was very concerned as I was due to catch a flight the next day. My sister recommended I see Debbie to have some Bowen Therapy. Debbie worked on my knee and overnight the swelling totally disappeared and I was able to fly the next day.
Since then Debbie has been working on my lower back and hip which I have had problems with for many years. I have kept up regular Bowen treatments.
What is so interesting about Bowen is that it not only works on the physical condition, it also works at an emotional level. Debbie is very gentle and professional and ensures that you are attended to at all times. I am very grateful to her and would highly recommend her.
