Bowen Technique (Bowtech - The original Bowen Technique)

Unlike some hands-on healing, the Bowen technique doesn’t rely on bone-crunching moves or uncomfortable positions to achieve results. Developed in Australia, it uses gentle moves and rest periods to help the body heal itself. 

Simply stated, the Bowen Technique allows the body to reset and heal itself.  The work consists of a series of gently rolling, connective tissue moves.  There are frequent important pauses between these moves which give the body time to benefit from each set.  By combining moves, both in placement and in combination, the practitioner is able to address the body as a whole, or target a specific problem.  

A unique tool of the Bowtech practitioner is 'tissue tension sense,' meaning that the practitioner is able to discern stress build-up in muscle groups and then utilize Bowtech moves to release that stress.

Holistic, Thereputic and Sports Massage

One of the oldest forms of healing, the manipulation of soft tissue has many health benefits. A hands-on treatment, which improves and maintains the balance of the body’s systems. It can aid the release of tension and stress, improve circulation and lymph flow, aid digestion, strengthen the body’s immune system and help with the elimination of toxins and waste products.  Massage reduces muscle tension and spasm, improves range of motion/flexibility and helps relieve pain and enhance the healing cycle after injury.

A growing body of research documents prove the effectiveness of massage and as such massage is increasingly being recommended by Doctors to complement traditional medical treatments for illness, injury and pain.  It is also used for relaxation and stress reduction and to treat the musculo-skeletal system.  Various massage techniques & pressures may be used depending on your requirements and /or injury.

The application of these techniques may include, but is not limited to, stroking, kneading, tapping, compression, vibration, rocking, friction, and pressure to the muscular structure or soft tissues of the human body.  This may also include non-forceful passive or active movement and/or application of techniques intended to affect the energetic systems of the body. The use of oils, lotions, and powders may also be included to reduce friction on the skin.

Hypnosis, Sports Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a very powerful but entirely safe and natural state, very similar to meditation, where the conscious mind and its limiting scope is put to one side.  Trance is a way of directly communicating with the subconscious – the part of us responsible for regulating every aspect of our functioning; the storehouse of all our experience; and the source and guardian of our beliefs, values and identity. Hypnosis can help you with any issue that you would like to work on and is a rapid and effective means to create significant change in your life. It is an effective means to Stop Smoking and can unlock our most stubborn and negative behaviour patterns found in the subconscious mind. Hypnosis can break a deeply entrenched self-destructive Habit or Phobia that your conscious mind and will power often cannot. 

Sport Hypnosis can enhance sporting ability and enable the athlete to train effectively. Furhtermore Hypnosis is a very usful aid when using imagery and to help remove selfdoubt.
