Thanks again Barbara. The increase in flexibility and reduction in pain and sore spots is remarkable. An essential part of my maintenance routine (such as it is!). :) ~ Mel Y

I've never felt so safe and so relaxed in a massage. I felt like months of tension had been loosened and I just felt GOOD. Barbara was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Thank you so much! ~ Jessica W

I looked forward to Bowen with Barbara today, as i knew not only would my body feel better, but i'd have the chance to chat openly about where I'm at and be listened to. The session did not disappoint, as my body feels lighter and my mind does too, thank you Barbara! ~Lisa R

I had been feeling really frustrated as my body had felt so stiff & restricted for years. I had thought, “OK, this is how I’m ageing..” and it had dampened my enthusiasm for activities I would have once jumped into feet first. After a combo of Bowen and Massage, I’m finally feeling more free! And I realised more ease of movement was possible. I’m so excited about getting fit & am feeling really positive about trying different forms of exercise & getting out to enjoy adventures with new people! Thanks for allowing me to feel good in my own skin. ~ Erin |

For me, attending regularly, initially every three weeks, currently every four weeks, Has brought results I’m very happy with. When I first visited you I couldn’t even turn my body from tummy down to on the back, I was stiff and in pain. After a few treatments I was able to move freely and pain free. Last week I was climbing a steep, stepped mountain path to Wine Glass bay lookout. Tick off the bucket list. So needless to say, I find Bowen treatment with you has greatly improved my movement and pain. Many thanks Barbara, Anna West - 68 - active grandmother |

#2 of my Package and so pleased I took it up. Barbara freed up a troublesome hip & neck before my first ski trip in years. Hooray! Could ski like a fearless kid! Two weeks later, hip's still much better. After today, I could look behind me so easily when riding home. Reckon #3 & # 4 session will set me up for a much more physically freer summer ~ Jacinta Cubis, facilitator, engagement practitioner and partnership broker http://www.engageqbis.com.au/ |

"As a frequent flyer, I often have experienced uncomfortable flights due to bad lower back pain which would last the whole trip! Making my flight very uncomfortable and painful. After seeing Barbara, I had a long flight and for the first time in 10 years felt no pain while sitting down for long periods of time! My back felt soft, light and not compressed. It really made the world of difference. I'm also an office worker so sit for long periods of time and often feel uncomfortable and feel a dull ache but I've found that only after 2 sessions the tension has eased completely! I feel like my body and muscles have been softened and I'm lighter and not as stiff! It's really made such a difference with only two sessions!" ~ Karolina C, Coburg |

"As part of my SIA (staying in Action) package I opted for a relaxation massage with Barbara, rather than the more therapeutic (and incredibly effective) Bowen treatment I usually have for sciatica. Today I walked in tense and stressed with nerves on end, after a challenging day at work. Within minutes I was enveloped by the warm blankets and almost instantly felt the tension being massaged away. By the end of the session I felt such an overwhelming feeling of wellbeing and still feeling fantastic - hours later! Barbara is the guru when it comes to knowing just what a body needs. Can't thank her enough for the great work she does with mine. " ~ Suzanne K, Kew |

"Having been diagnosed with a degenerating spinal injury and told that it is not a matter of if but when I would end up in a wheelchair I had to find something or someone to help prolong this outcome and relieve some of the pain I was in. I discovered Barbara and Bowen therapy at a women’s festival and from the first treatment I knew I was on to something good. Barbara and I worked together initially to discover what works the best for my body, we have discovered that a combination of Bowen and Remedial therapies brings about the best results. I now see Barbara for maintenance treatment, and find that an hour every 4 weeks keeps me moving, I must admit the next day sometimes feels like having gone 10 rounds in a boxing ring but within 2/3 days I feel like a new person, It is not only me that feels the difference but family and friends will often comment on the difference in my posture from walking in a stooped position to walking up straight. There is definitely a difference with this treatment and I rarely need to take any pain relief.” ~ Marie P, Epping |
