A more neurological style of Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy uses specific moves on the receptors in fascia, nerves, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints to help the body respond and unwind from often long-held tension and locked structural patterns. These instructions work with the body's own innate healing mechanisms to identify and repair areas of tension, and help the body very gently adjust itself into its own version of optimal functional alignment.
The Bowen treatment approach also helps the body come more easily out of ‘fight and flight’ (sympathetic nervous system dominance), and more easily into parasympathetic dominance (‘rest, digest and repair’ mode), allowing for social as well as physical ease.
Usually a few Bowen sessions are needed, especially to see the potential for sustained improvements for longstanding or complex issues, or to help the body hold its optimal alignment long term.
Specialising in complex conditions
Complex conditions including structural, neurological and hormonal conditions can respond beautifully to a more neurological approach to Bowen Therapy, along with all conditions exacerbated by stress.
This approach to Bowen Therapy is much more than just working with fascia, muscle and nerves. This is an assessment based, whole-person, individualised treatment approach supporting deep systematic change: physical, social and in the spirit.
I extend my deep gratitude to all the teachers, angels and guides who have helped me develop this deeply nurturing and highly sensitive way of working with the Bowen Technique.
I am also deeply thankful to the wide range of people who have chosen me to be part of their health and healing team (in whatever capacity is/was needed).
Gentle, safe and deeply relaxing bodywork
This gentle, neurological style of Bowen gives the nervous system the time and space to make its own corrections and to address its own imbalances.
Sessions are undertaken through light clothing on electric massage tables for safety and comfort.
Deep healing can take time. These neurological style sessions of Bowen usually take around 1.5 hours.
Referrals and specialised treatments
Where possible, I accept referrals for specialised assessment and treatment particularly for gentle approaches to cranial and TMJ alignment issues, as well as hormonal and neurological conditions.
I especially value providing practitioner self-care (treatment for therapists), and offer professional development tuition to support other therapists.

For new Canberra clients
My Canberra case load is currently fully subscribed.
At this stage, I can only offer to put potential new clients on a waiting list until I am able to offer at least the first three sessions. That way, if you choose to continue after one session, ongoing sessions will be available.
For existing Canberra clients
Existing Canberra clients without a regular scheduled session are welcome to contact me to go on the cancellation list or book ahead (pending availability).
If it is urgent, you may benefit from seeing someone else in the short term (and staying on my cancellation list in case the issues do not resolve).
For fellow kind souls in the Bega Valley
I usually work a few days each fortnight or month in Merimbula in the Bega Valley (Far South Coast NSW), my second home for over 25 years.
Appointments are limited but generally available, occasionally with a short waiting period, make contact for details.
Bookings, referrals and therapist support
My telephone number and email address are no longer listed on my website to avoid spam texts and calls.
Please use the Contact form for any Bowen Therapy enquiries if you do not already have my mobile number or email address, I will receive an email with all your information and get back to you as soon as I can.

Deep healing often calls for a change of mind.
Both are absolutely possible.
