Some Case Studies
Migraines ME Sidcup
ME regularly had migraines within two days prior to the start of her period and on the second day of her period, often necessitating time off work.The tablets she was given eased the severity of the attacks. Initially, ME had four treatments a week apart and found that not only did the expected migraines not happen, but also her period pains were less intense so that she only had to take two painkillers in total, as opposed to the usual eight.
Knee pain Kevin Bexleyheath
The middle of Kevin's kneecap was extremely painful, especially when he tried to walk up and down stairs.He worked on the third floor and there was no staff lift.After Kevin's first Reflexology session, the knee pain completely disappeared for 12 days.He had his second treatment a fortnight after the first one, and the pain that had returned was more of a niggle.He had three treatments, a fortnight apart and he has had no further problem with his knee.
Constipation Shelley age 39
For quite some time, Shelley had only needed to visit the toilet about once a week. Her stomach felt bloated and uncomfortable. She paid her first visit to the toilet within an hour of her first treatment and has had no further problems.

What is it?
I find it very surprising that Bowen Technique is not more widely known in this country as it is such a gentle, but highly effective treatment, needing very few treatments to sort a wide range of health problems.
The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers to gently move muscles and tissues. There is no force or manipulation.
Bowen gives rapid, long-lasting relief from pain. Many conditions respond within 3 treatments. Because of its high success rate, many physiotherapists and chiropractors are training in Bowen and increasingly more of the medical profession are recommending it to their patients.
Who benefits?
The gentle treatment is suitable for a range of problems including:
What can I expect from a treatment?
The treatment can be performed through light clothing...no jeans please!...and can last between 30 and 60 minutes. During the treatment there are periods when the client is left resting to allow the body to absorb the moves that have been performed and to initiate the healing process.
The therapist trained with the European College of Bowen Studies and is a member of the Bowen Therapists European Register. To visit the European College of Bowen Studies just CLICK HERE to go straight to it and for the Bowen Therapists European Register just CLICK HERE.
Some Case Studies
SCIATICA Grace age 73
Grace had lower back pain which ran down the back of both legs. The pain was so intense that she hadn't been able to sleep and the painkillers only reduced the pain slightly. After the first treatment the pain had reduced by 80%. Grace also noticed that the pain in her knees, that she had had for some time, had eased, and that going up stairs was decidedly more comfortable.Grace had a further treatment the following week, after which the sciatic pain eased completely, as did the pain in her knees.
ASTHMA Charlie age 3
Charlie's breathing started to become wheezy during the summer and he was getting frequent colds and coughs. The doctor prescribed Ventolin. After a couple of night-time asthma attacks which resulted in admission to hospital, Charlie's mother thought she would see if Bowen would help. Charlie had two very short treatments a week apart and he has not needed his inhaler since and he has rarely had to miss nursery school as his tendency to pick up colds has diminished.
FROZEN SHOULDER Paula age 35
Paula's right shoulder was very painful and she was having difficulty sleeping at night because of it. Her arm movements were very restricted. By the end of the first treatment, the pain had eased considerably and she was able to reach across and touch her left shoulder and stretch her arm up into a near vertical position. The shoulder was much more comfortable for the next three days until Paula acidentally re-injured her shoulder. The pain was excrutiating. Paula had three more treatments, after which the problem had resolved.
DIARRHOEA, DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS AND MIGRAINES Ian age 51
Ian had a stressful job and was experiencing relationship problems. He had pains in his stomach and bloating as well as diarrhoea. He was having a day off work quite regularly because of the migraines. After the first Bowen, the diarrhoea ceased and the intensity of the migraines lessened. It was more of an ache across the eyebrows. After the second treatment there had been no more diarrhoea and he had only had one headache, instead of the daily headache he had been getting. The stomach pains had eased. Ian had a third Bowen session and as he felt that the Bowen experienced had not only eased his condition, but seemed to help him handle the stresses in his life more efficiently, he decided to return for monthly treatments.

What is it?
Those who have seen Paul McKenna perform on the TV will be aware that EFT can very successfully cure phobias. Most of his viewers are unaware that there are many physical and emotional conditions that EFT can put right as well.
If you can understand the notion that, when we have a negative thought, it creates a negative emotion and that this causes a blockage in our energy system ie the meridians. The meridians are channels of energy that pass through our body, the same channels that acupuncturists access with their needles to stimulate or sedate the flow of energy.It is the blockages in the meridians that cause physical and emotional health problems and by tapping on these meridians it is possible to remove the blockages to allow the energy to flow freely again and to restore the body to good health.So, EFT can be used to treat physical pain and illnesses as well as emotional health problems and beliefs.
EFT is a form of acupuncture, but instead of using needles, we tap with the fingertips on certain meridian points to stimulate the energy system while the client focusses his mind on the problem. This helps to release the stuck energy and removes the actual cause of our negative emotions.
EFT has also been found to give relief for a wide range of physical symptoms because there is a definite link between our physical illnesses and our emotional issues.
...are some of the issues that can be dealt with through EFT.
You can be taught how to perform EFT on youself and your family so that you can work on yourself whenever you have any emotional issues or negative thoughts.
Case Studies
CANDIDA
Joan had the symptoms of Candida. She frequently had thrush and her abdomen felt enlarged and bloated. She also suffered from joint pain in her neck and mid-back, insomnia, frequent sore throats and PMT. These symtoms started during a difficult time in her life when her relationship was going awry and there was financial difficulty. By clearing the anger, resentment, hurt and fear of lack of money, the symtoms cleared.
WRIST PAIN
Julie, 50, suddenly developed a very painful right wrist on Monday. She hadn't done anything to cause the pain and the wrist pain didn't respond in the expected way to the treatment given. When asked what had happened on Sunday, she said that she'd had a difficult time with her daughter. They argued and she felt let down by her daughter and disappointed with her. By tapping on these issues, the wrist pain disappeared completely.
FOOD ALLERGIES AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Amanda, 35, had suffered from many food allergies since early childhood. Mealtimes during her childhood were a nightmare, being filled with confrontation. Using EFT we succeeded in eliminating some of these allergies so that Amanda was able to introduce a greater variety of food into her diet.
Her ulcerative colitis started about 2 years ago following the break-up of a relationship. Again, EFT caused the unpleasant symptoms to abate and she was able to use the technique on herself to control the symptoms whenever they were set off by any confrontation.

At the end of this time, the water is drained off and it is this water that is used in the making of the essences. Brandy is added as a preservative and there are no chemicals so they are safe to use for people of all ages, including babies and those on medication. They can even be used on your pets! Although they have nothing but energy in them they are very powerful.For example, when the correct blend is given to somebody suffering from depression or anxiety, they will normally work within 24 hours.To find out more about the Australian Bush Flower Essences just CLICK HERE to visit their website.
Case Studies
OVARIAN CYST ARLENE 51
Arlene, 51, had an ovarian cyst which was uncomfortable at times. She took a blend of essences for two weeks and, after a two week gap, repeated the blend.When she went for her scan, the cyst was no longer there.
ANXIETY IAN
Ian was retired,but was still working part-time, two days a week. He suddenly started waking early in the morning, feeling very anxious. Although this anxiety wore off a little during the day, he was having difficulty getting himself to work. He had no idea why he was suddenly like this. The first batch of essences failed to work and then Ian announced that his workplace was closing and he was being transferred to a new place of work. I then gave him a blend to cover his fears to do with this and very quickly the anxiety dissipated.
NECK PAIN ALAN
Alan had a very painful neck and dizziness. He had tried lots of things and nothing had worked. His hospital specialist wanted to give him a lumbar puncture to see if that might work, but Ian wasn't keen. After 3 sessions of Bowen Technique, there had been no significant improvement. The pain had started when Ian had met his current partner. They had recently moved in together and things were going fine. However, his last two relationships had ended in sorrow when Ian discovered that they had been seeing another man at the same time. He was frightened the same thing might happen again, so it was a question of trust.The blend of essences worked very quickly on him and by the second day he was free of pain.
