Heather has been a complementary health therapist for over 18years.

She specialises in Stress Management and Pain Management with her own unique treatment which encompasses years of study within this field.

Bowen Therapy and Emmett Technique are the main modalities she will use when treating people for pain management. However – she will use Reflexology and Emotional Freedom Techniques to assist her clients as and when required.

Through her extensive work in clinics in central Queensland, Gold Coast, Ireland, Brisbane and now Bundaberg, Heather believes that our attitudes and emotions control our physiology and biology. She believes and is a strong advocate of the expression – that our personal beliefs affect our personal reality. Positive thoughts are a biological mandate for a happy healthy life.

Your beliefs become your thoughts
Your thoughts become your words
Your words become your actions
Your actions become your habits
Your habits become your values
Your values become your destiny

Bowen Therapy

This consists of gentle non invasive movements over ligaments and tendons which instigate a muscular release within the body – thereby – causing relaxation and reduction in pain.

---

Emmett Technique

This is a wonderful technique which can bring about the reduction of pain immediately. It includes an initial examination of the mobility and balance of the body. By gently connecting up points on the body by touch – the core muscles are ensured to be in place prior to treatment.

The whole body is aligned – and by the skilful use of ‘words’ during the release of specific muscles – a feeling of well being and reduction of pain is induced.

---

Reflexology

Heather uses her vast knowledge of reflexology on the feet, hands and ears to assist with the wellbeing of her clients. The feet tell a thousand stories – and then some! Heather will use several points on the feet to assess where congestion may be happening within the body. On the hands – she will show her client what area to massage to assist with further pain relief – and during treatment – Heather uses points on the ears to assist with deep relaxation.

Testimonials

Severe Sciatica

I had just reached over the BBQ on Christmas Day to get something and my back went into horrendous pain. It radiated down my right leg – like boiling oil- to my foot. I was in agony! I had cortisone injections and was still wakening every 15mins at night with the pain. I went to see other physicians and after X Rays and examinations I was told that an operation was required. My friend asked to me consider seeing Heather to help with the dreadful pain prior to surgery. During my first treatment – I wondered what this was all about – it was so gentle! I got off the table and had no pain!! I was advised to come back if the pain returned – and after 24hours it did return – but to a lesser extent. After 4 treatments with Heather - I was pain free – in fact – I found myself in a body which I haven’t been in for some time!! I have no hesitation in writing this testimonial – as her work is tremendous. N S Brisbane

Migraines

• I had been visiting the Dr for months complaining of horrendous migraines. She referred me to see Heather – and it is the best thing I have ever done. No more migraines – and she has shown me what to do – on my hand – should I feel one start to assist with the pain. I see Heather every 6 weeks now – for my ‘top ups’. It’s so good to feel well.

• I was having migraines since I was 16/17 years old. (I’m now mid 30’s) They would come 2 or 3 times a year – then once every 6 months and then once every 3 or 4 weeks. Now getting them once a week which were making me ill. GP said I had head and scalp congestion. I went to see Heather – and she found my whole body was in a state of muscular congestion. She worked on my lower back and shoulders and my jaw. She asked me if I had ever worn braces on my teeth? – Yes – I had- and they were removed when I was 16/17yrs old. The next day I awoke with another headache – but by lunchtime it had gone. The day after that I awoke with a very mild headache which was gone by the time I went to work. I only see Heather now if stress at work causes tension and gives me a headache! D R Strathpine

Neck Pain

In my trade as a plumber – I am often bending over, reaching up and my back and neck packed in. I went to see Heather – because my wife said so – and it is the best thing I have done. The treatment is so gentle –yet does so much. The treatments are short and do the job. Just what I need. K D Aspley

Shoulder pain

• I couldn’t lift my left arm – at all. It had been getting worse and worse – until I finally went to see Heather. Within the space of 30 mins – I was able to lift my arm up a lot higher than when I first went in. Heather got me to lie on the table – on my back – and she worked on my legs. She did something on my knee and all of a sudden I could breathe more easily!! After that – the pain reduced in my shoulder and after 3 more treatments – my shoulder was much better! I still see Heather every so often and intend to do so! R M Childers
  
  
• I’m a police officer and was suffering from tightness in between my shoulder blades and pain up the front of both lower legs when I walked. I also had a pain under my left shoulder blade when I turned my head. On the advice of a friend – I went to see Heather. After one treatment –I felt one thousand times better – and after the second treatment I was just awesome. J S

Morton’s Neuroma

I had been diagnosed with Morton’s Neuroma . It’s a very painful condition in the foot and as I am an active person – I was becoming increasingly depressed due to pain and inablility to walk without severe pain. The GP scheduled me in for an operation. Before the operation – I went to see Heather. She explained to me that although the pain was in my foot – it was originating somewhere else in the leg muscles. After one treatment – she had my leg muscles sorted out and I cancelled the operation. I needed another treatment for the Morton’s – but have no more trouble with it now. As Heather says – it’s all about keeping your body aligned. A M Maroochy

Menstrual Pain/heavy school bags

My daughter was suffering severe and gripping menstrual pain for the previous year. I brought her to Heather – who found that her pelvis was very out of alignment. After 2 treatments in the one month – the pain had reduced considerably. Heather found that my daughter’s shoulders were very congested too – which were pulling the pelvis out of alignment. I put this down to heavy school bags. After bringing my daughters whole body into alignment – we know now that if it starts again – we need another treatment. L M Albany Creek

Knee Pain

• I could walk up stairs – but not down. I’m a bricky by trade. My boss sent me to see Heather. Old magic hands. She tells you if she needs to see you again – she doesn’t keep you coming back all the time – she does the job and I like that. Phil Bne

Hip Pain

• I ‘m a builder by trade. I went to see Heather for severe right hip pain. She works very gently – but you can feel things happening in your body. I always fall asleep. The first time I saw Heather – she was working on my legs and she asked me if had worn callipers before. Now how did she know that? – I did when I was a child – but with her skilful examination she determined what was wrong and where it was wrong. I like to see her every 6 weeks or so to keep my body in ‘alignment’ as she calls it. R T Avoca
  
  
• I had bad pain in my right hip. Heather just asked me to stand and she held a point on my back and another beside my belly button. I had such a huge emotional release! Heather then got me to lie on the table and worked on my chest – very gently and head – and then the pain disappeared in my hip and hasn’t been back since!! That was only one treatment! FL Rockhampton

High Blood Pressure/Tapping

• My main problem was to do with back and shoulder pain. But I had High Blood Pressure too. Heather treated me for the pain – and then using ‘tapping’ techniques where I tapped on specific points on my head and wrist – Heather talked me through the points - and my blood pressure went down. I could feel it go down. This was just amazing. I thought it was a one off – but I have been able to reduce my BP tablets considerably – and no more pain in back or shoulder either! J P Albany Creek

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• I have been a baristo for many years now – and my right arm was getting so sore. The GP said I had carpal tunnel syndrome and sent me off to a specialist for consideration of an operation. My Mum got me to see Heather. It was amazing. I had been wakening in the mornings with both arms asleep – and now that is all gone. No need for an operation – and my arm is much freer now. TB Caboolture
  
  
• I had been working with horses for years – and had been ignoring the constant pain in my arms. Then one day – my arms and hands wouldn’t work – which meant that I couldn’t either. So I travelled from Caloundra to see Heather. It was the best thing to do. With her gentle ways – and so much consideration to me and my pain – she worked quietly and gently – and showed me how to strap my wrists to assist with the pain. That was 3 years ago-I still go and see Heather wherever she is – her treatments are the best. Words can’t describe. KB Slacks Creek
  
  
• Computer work lead to constant pain in both wrists. I had other treatments – with no real success – and then I went to see Heather. She worked my whole body – and gently released muscles which I never knew were caught!! Now at least I can keep working. CT Aspley

Mastectomy

I had stiffness in my left arm since my mastectomy. After my medical treatment I needed to return to work – and with Heather’s assistance in keeping my arm free from stiffness I was able to do that. She worked very gently on the whole arm and shoulder. Initially she did my treatment while I sat in the seat! Now I’m able to lie down and enjoy. HR Aspley

Now my horse rides better!

I came to see Heather because I had horrendous pain in my neck, arms and shoulders. I worked on computers all day – so I know that was a problem. Heather did some things on me while I was standing up and then she asked if I rode horses? I don’t know how she knew that – but I do. And then she asked how the horse was going? My poor horse at that time just wasn’t doing what he was supposed to do. So she worked on me standing up initially and then she got me to lie down. The next treatment she asked how my horse was – was this not about me?? And I said that he was much better and seemed to do what I wanted him to do. Heather said that because my body was so out of ‘whack’ that the horse sensed this with me sitting on his back – and that made him uncomfortable and therefore he couldn’t do what he was asked to do! So the best result is that I am now much more freer of pain and my horse is much happier.

Moral of story is – if the horse isn’t riding well – fix the rider first. KR Beaudesert

Depression

I have been on heavy medication for many years for chemical induced depression. My life has no quality whatsoever. Reluctantly – at my wife’s insistence – I went to see Heather. That was something else. It scared me because there was a new me. I didn’t know how to cope with that. I was happy. I wanted to work in the garden. I wanted to help my wife doing chores. I came back for another treatment – she is so easy to talk to and she has such a gentle kindness. I remembered things I had totally forgotten about. I’ve had 3 treatments – I’m still on medication – but her treatment is better than any fix from any drug. LR Hendra
