Living with pain is tough
|
Change is possible
It doesn't have to be this way.
Life can be so much better if pain isn't the first thing you notice every time you move. Imagine not living with this pain and having the mobility to really enjoy life.... like you used to? |

What my Clients Say
Nell says ....
"Well! What an interesting therapy. Not sure how or what exactly happens but I think Barbara is some kind of muscle whisperer! I went to Barbara with persistent sharp shoulder pain and two sessions later it is very much improved. The Bowen technique seems to create a feeling of what I can only describe as 'roominess' within the body. I arrived at the appointment with a sensation of adhesion and restricted movement and left feeling as though I occupied my whole physical space evenly and easily. Just delightful!" |
Kat says... "By going to Barbara on a regular basis for Bowen therapy I have noticed that I am maintaining my movement and comfort in my body more successfully than I have at other times in my life.
I'm in the middle of a PhD and spend the majority of my time sitting at a desk reading, writing and marking. Sitting takes a huge toll on my body. I checked out Barbara’s website and saw a video of her practicing Bowen on someone who was not skinny and there was a sense of relief and of comfort that she could be a good person to go and see. I have been fat my entire life and have had some mixed experiences with people in both medical and bodywork fields as I have experienced a lot of judgment around the size of my body. |
I walk most places, do yoga every morning when I wake up, eat 5+ servings of fruit and veggies a day and am relatively fit. I do all of these things as they make my body feel good, not in order to lose weight. I have found due to my body size I am often judged and sometimes when I have visited doctors or other health practitioners all they want to talk about is how I need to lose weight, not about the health concern I came in with. This has been very frustrating for me, and has actually made me more ill at times.
When I started to go to Barbara I noticed that my body felt amazing afterwards, the only way I could describe it to my friends was “magic”.
I sleep well after Bowen, I notice that I am more in touch with my body and can feel more of what is happening with my body in general and have more comfort to sit at my desk and write.
I have never for one moment felt body shamed by Barbara or that I need to do anything differently with my body – like lose weight. She has always been respectful and welcoming and ultimately wants me to move comfortably and to feel more comfort in my body.
