Integrated Bowen Therapy + Energy Healing
Less stress and a calmer, happier, healthier Mind, Body & Soul

I believe that if we change our Energy we can change our life.
The simple fact is, most of us are not happy with our lives.
We are struggling to get through the day. We are struggling to make ends meet. We are struggling to find the time for our children and our partners. We are struggling to find time for ourselves and to do what we love… Life for many people is a struggle….
Because whatever is going on in your energy field, is going on in your life.

My passion is helping other women change their energy to change their life,  ditch the constant struggle and start thriving, not just surviving.

In my search for how to heal my own struggles with adrenal fatigue and anxiety and create more simplicity, inner peace and vitality in my life again I began studying a range of holistic therapies that completely transformed my life and business and set me on a whole new path
from Skincare Entrepreneur to Holistic Therapist and Healer.

A couple of years ago I hit breaking point. I was chronically exhausted ( feeling like Id been hit by a truck every morning when I woke up no matter how much sleep I’d had) and living with constant pain and tension in my neck, shoulders and lower back. My hair was falling out, I felt like I was ageing fast, I suffered from IBS, anxiety and shortness of breath, anger ( although no one saw that but my kids), irritability, low sex drive, I had trouble relaxing, an overly busy mind and I often felt resentful and overburdened.
I was a full time stay at home mum, caring for the kids, cooking, cleaning, shopping, taking care of the finances, running around to different appointments, kinder and school drop offs ( you know what its like mum’s !) and I was also a full time business owner, running my online skincare business from home- everything from filling and labeling products, traveling to events and markets, stock take, marketing, book work and fulfilling orders and shipping. My hubby worked super hard providing for the family so was gone at 5am and wasn’t home until 6 or 7pm that night and often worked away. My life was one big ball of constant busyness, pressure and overwhelm.    ( Phew that makes me exhausted just writing that!)

No one was putting the extra pressure on me to be super mum and do everything- I was the one doing it! I didn’t feel like I was good enough if I wasn’t doing all of those things and more. It was how I proved my “worth”

Ladies, just because we are capable of doing all of those things and more doesn’t mean we should- and especially not all at once. I loved the extra sense of purpose, independance and pride running my business gave me but it came at a cost, simply because there was no balance and zero self care and self love in my life. I sacrificed a lot of mental and emotional time with my family because my mind was so maxed out and scattered all of the time. I had a never ending to-do list and was constantly “switched on” all of the time- keeping me in a constant state of stress. This was literally sucking the life force and energy right out of me. I was terrible at asking for help ( which put even more pressure on me) and there was no relax time to help my body and mind repair and rejuvenate, no self care, and no taking time to stop and smell the roses. The crazy thing was I didn’t see an issue with how I was running my life- it had become my normal and I was coping with it just fine … so I thought.

Let me tell you from experience what living like that leads to: complete BURN OUT and a mental and emotional breakdown! And it’s not a nice place to be in.

It can be a very scary,  lonely and uncertain place to be in when you hit breaking point. I didn’t share what was happening to me for a long time because I didn’t want people to think I wasn’t coping and I didn’t want to be a burden on my loved ones. Looking back now I see why I felt that way, the beliefs I had about myself and the pressure I put on myself to always be perfect, in control and “do it all” were my biggest undoings.

There were 3 key things I did on my healing journey that changed everything for me:

1. Monthly Massage, Bowen Therapy and Energy Healing -You cant give from an empty cup. My monthly healing sessions were about giving something back to myself and starting to fill my cup again as well as calming the stress and tension in my body which was caused by an overly busy, anxious mind. Whatever is going on in the sub conscious mind, such as negative thoughts and beliefs or blocked and suppressed emotions, can cause blockages in our energy field and manifest as physical pain in the body. Massage, Bowen and Energy healing  help calm the nervous system, relax the muscles, unlock blockages in our energy and restore balance and flow. A calm body = a calm mind.

2.Becoming aware of, and getting in control of the thoughts, beliefs and stories I was playing in my subconscious mind that were keeping me in this destructive cycle of struggle

3. Banning busyness! Allowing myself to slow down and ditch the busyness, unnecessary pressure and overwhelm (not easy but so glad I did!) Combined with lots self-love and self-care, deep breathing and walks in nature.

This then enabled me to reconnect with myself and also reconnect with life again. I didn’t realise how out of touch I was!  Once I was able to do this, it was like I saw the world though a different lens- it was full of such vibrant colour, depth and meaning . I was so much more present and had such a depth of gratitude for everything I had instead of always focusing on striving for things I didn’t have. Simple things brought me so much joy like feeling the sun on my face, smelling a flower in the garden, watching the sunset, being able to be fully present with my hubby and kids.

A calm body equals a calm mind and it’s from this space that you start to thrive again.

You can’t make changes and attract a new reality from a depleted place. You must start with filling yourself up first. The rest will follow. Start by honouring your needs and making a choice to take care of yourself again.

If you feel like you are stuck in a constant cycle of struggle, exhausted, stressed, anxious, out of sorts, feeling lost and out of alignment  and in desperate need of some TLC please reach out and come and see me.
I use a unique combination of Integrated Bowen Therapy, Energy Healing and Soul Coaching to help you calm down the stress and tension in the body and balance the flow of energy to literally change your Energy and change your life.

What is Integrated Bowen Therapy?

I would describe this therapy as a mix between hands on body work and energy healing and it is safe for anyone from newborn babies to the elderly.

The Bowen Therapy technique is a holistic approach to pain relief and healing which balances the body and stimulates energy flow. It is a very gentle and non-invasive, but extremely powerful, soft connective tissue hands-on therapy that addresses whatever is out of balance within the body. Bowen strongly affects the autonomic nervous system, the system responsible for stress reactions and recovery responses. By reducing the stress response  in the body, the muscles are able to relax, energy flows more freely and healing can occur.  It works so well and quickly because it works on stimulating the flow of water throughout the body – water which carries energy around the body through the soft connective tissue (Fascia). This energy has been referred to by many names from many cultures for thousands of years; Chi, Life Force, and Prana to name a few. It is not important to label it, but simply to understand that without a free uninterrupted balanced flow of this energy, and water, throughout your body, you will have health challenges of varying kinds and severity.
The body’s integrated response to the Bowen moves improves circulation and lymphatic drainage and aids in the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.

Unlike traditional Bowen Therapy, Integrated Holistic Bowen doesn’t  have the 2 minute wait times in between moves yet  people still experience the same results if not better and feel more nurtured in the process. Integrated Bowen can also involve other types of modalities, for example trigger point therapy and acupressure, and can also be weaved into a massage treatment for a blissful holistic treatment.

The Bowen technique addresses pain and restriction anywhere in the body and may help with:

• Back and neck pain
• Headaches and Migraines
• Hip, knee and ankle problems
• Menstrual disorders, ovulation pain, mood swings (PMS), tender breasts and painful periods
• Digestive problems
• Emotional issues and Stress
• Asthma, shortness of breath
• Sciatica
• Chronic fatigue
• Autonomic Nervous System Re-balancing: The autonomic nervous system controls over 80% of bodily functions (cardiac, respiratory, peripheral circulation, reproductive, endocrine, gastrointestinal) and is very susceptible to stress and emotional tensions. For healing to happen, the body needs to shift from sympathetic (fight/ flight mode) to parasympathetic (regulates the body’s unconscious actions) dominance. For this to happen, it needs time and space to literally unwind and “digest” physical and emotional stress. The Bowen Technique facilitates these positive shifts.
• Clearing Energy Blocks The Bowen Technique stimulates circulation of energy and clears energetic blocks. Coincidentally, several of the moves are located along acupuncture meridians or on specific acupuncture points, which are known to stimulate and balance the body’s energy. Some people feel shifts in their bodies during and after a Bowen session. While many experience immediate pain relief, improvement is just as likely to unfold over the next few days to a week. Emotional releases are also often likely to present themselves.

Unlike other modalities which feel more like having something done to you, Bowen therapy feels more like giving you the space to find healing yourself. Which is exactly what Bowen Therapy and Energy Healing does- it stimulates the body to heal itself . This is empowering for you as the client and also for me as the therapist!

Your health is your wealth – remember those words every time you put off taking care of yourself because other things are more important or you are too busy.  In order for our bodies to be healthy we must calm down the stress first- no amount of healthy eating and fitness training will help you heal if you are living in a constant state of stress. And let’s face in- in today’s fast paced modern world, we are living in a constant state of stress and not even realising it! ( This was me for many many years!)  It has become a normal way of life for us and it needs to change, fast.

Big hugs
