Treatments
"Bowen Technique (also known as Bowtech - the Original Bowen Technique and Bowenwork):
A dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that was developed by the late Tom Bowen in Geelong, Australia. It utilizes subtle inputs to the body (known as “moves”), stimulating the body to heal itself, often profoundly.
It offers huge benefit to clients with very little effort on the part of the practitioner. Can provide relief for many types of injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic, and it does so holistically, via the body’s innate healing mechanisms. The practitioner’s moves deliver signals to the nervous system at specific locations, and the body responds in its own time, within its vital capacity. Bowen Technique is appropriate for most people of all ages, in all degrees of health.
Bowen Technique addresses the entire body, by restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS controls over 80% of bodily functions and is very susceptible to external stressors. Healing can occur only after the ANS shifts from “fight, flight or freeze mode” to “relax, rest & repair mode” dominance (“rest, relax and repair mode”). Bowen Technique enables that shift. During a session, clients have been known to fall asleep. This an obvious indication of this shift occurring.
With each session lasting from 15 to 45 minutes, Clients usually lie on a massage/bodywork table or bed, or may be seated in a chair if required, for comfort. A 'session' involves one or more 'procedures', each of which consists of several sets of 'moves’. The moves are gentle, but purposeful, and can be done through light clothing. Between each set of moves, the practitioner pauses for as many minutes as are needed for the client's body to begin responding. As the nervous system begins to adjust the tension level in the muscles, the practitioner senses when the client is ready for the next set of moves.
In contrast to other hands-on modalities, Bowen Technique facilitates the body in healing itself, with minimal intervention. Because of the subtle nature of Bowen Technique, and the body's continuing response to it over several days thereafter, other forms of manipulative therapy are discouraged for up to five days after a session, as they may interfere with the efficacy of the work."*

Reiki:
The word `Reiki' is a Japanese phrase that can be translated as `Universal life energy'. A system using this energy for healing and personal growth was developed in Japan in the 1920s by Mikao Usui.
The Usui system of Reiki was first brought to the western world by Hawayo Takata in 1938. Since then, Reiki has spread around the globe and a number of different branches have been established, each developing their own form of teaching and practice.
Following training in the system of Reiki, spiritual growth and self-healing are supported through giving and receiving regular Reiki treatments. There is much anecdotal evidence that Reiki can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, and that it safely complements medical and other treatments. Reiki is effective as self-treatment or when delivered by another person.
Reiki can be learned and practised by a person of any age. First level Reiki training is all that many people desire. However, additional training is available for those who wish to extend or go more deeply into their practice. Once trained, you can treat yourself, friends, family and animals.
Emotional Freedom Techinique (EFT) aka Tapping:
Negative emotional experiences disrupt the energy meridians that run through our body. The physical changes we feel from those disruptions become attached to the memory of that experience and affect the way we see the world…until we heal that disruption. Properly applied, EFT quickly realigns the energy meridians with respect to negative memories, disconnects the physical discomfort that we attached to it, and quite often removes the resulting symptoms - allowing healing to take place on both a conscious (mind) level and sub-conscious (body) level.

It works!
"To any of my Family / Friends that have had issues with pain recently take note. Last week I was barely able to walk due to back pain. One week ago I went and saw Bowen on the Hill for treatment and today was able to head out for my first run in over a week (Smashed out 6 K in PB time). Although I am not someone who normally goes for alternative medicines, simply put it works."
