About the Winner
My journey started at the receiving end. I suffered from severe postnatal issues, and after ineffectively trying all known therapies, was left in excruciating pain, reliant on painkillers and crutches to get through each day. Over the course of two years, I lost all hope and fell into despair.
Thanks to Bowen, within a few weeks, I went from taking eight Ibuprofen daily to two-four a week. Within six-seven weeks I was off my crutches and with time made a miraculous full recovery.
Inspired by my own recovery, I embarked on my Bowen training and after three years, my hard work paid off and I qualified as a Bowen therapist in 2013.
Bowen Therapy is a natural, holistic, gentle and effective way to manage pain. It works through the nervous system and can improve all aspects of one's well being; physical, mental, emotional and neurological. It helped me get my life back and has given me a fulfilling profession helping others do the same.
I help people suffering from mild to severe pains and aches. I specialise in helping those that have been told there is no fix or cure for their problem and have to either live on painkillers. Living with constant pain with no way out is stifling. I help my clients live their lives with joy and dignity.
Due to the neurological aspect of this technique, it is very effective in managing auto-immune conditions like Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's; disease, C.R.M.O. etc. Every client is unique and what they want is personal to them. I have had clients that know there is no cure but just want to be able to live with dignity. They want to be able to brush their teeth and hair by themselves. I help such clients be able to live with dignity.
I have helped people who have been told that there is no fix or cure for their condition, get their life back ie;
A builder with a trapped nerve, unable to move his arm, was able to return to work.
A marathon runner was able to run another marathon.
A conductor with a frozen shoulder was able to return to what she loves.
A baby who suffering despite been given 4 courses of antibiotics was able to sleep peacefully again.
A man who struggled to walk down the road is now pursuing his lifelong dream and training to climb mount Everest.
The list goes on and on.
I feel so humbled and grateful that I am able to help them live their lives doing what they love.
I suffered from severe postnatal issues that had a detrimental effect on my physical, mental, and emotional state and I found no relief from any therapy. Bowen therapy was the only thing that helped me fully recover. Bowen therapy is profound and unique because it can benefit and improve all levels of one’s wellbeing i.e., physical, mental, emotional, and neurological. It is natural, gentle, holistic, and effective. This method does not believe in painful, forceful, and aggressive manipulation and is therefore suitable for all ages.
Trauma, and unprocessed emotions are stored in the muscles in our body. These strain the nervous system, which hinder its ability to maintain homeostasis leading to all kinds of issues ranging from stress, anxiety, migraines, TMJ issues, aches and pains, IBS, etc. When things get out of hand, one can develop autoimmune diseases.
Bowen is the only therapy of its kind where it works with the nervous system and relies on the neuromuscular feedback system to stimulate the body’s ability to self-heal, regulate and reset itself. Bowen can therefore help manage neurological conditions and auto-immune diseases.
Pain and suffering are no stranger to me hence I am passionate about helping others like myself, who have been written off and living with pain and depression, get their lives back.
I have helped people who have been told there is no fix or cure, and they have to live on painkillers, not only get relief from pain but also be able to the things they love again.
