Bowen Massage & Mind-Body Coaching, especially for busy women with tight sore bodies and overthinking minds.
I specialise in helping busy -- and often overloaded -- women who think too much, feel too much, and put way too much pressure on themselves.
Conscientious, caring women who always put others' needs first. And whose own needs land at the bottom of their ginormous To-Do list. (If their needs even made it onto the To-Do list in the first place).
Perfectionist women whose push themselves hard. Women with 'inner critics' that beat themselves up.... saying harsh -- even cruel -- things to themselves that they'd never dream of thinking about others.
Women with sensitive bodies that over-react to certain things -- (it could be noises, smells, light, clothing fabrics, sad or adrenaline-filled TV programs) -- in ways that other people just don't seem to. And when they try to explain, others don't "get it".
Women who think too much, feel too much, and put way too much pressure on themselves... all of which shows up in tight sore necks, painful backs, hunched-over shoulders, and so on.
Pain that could do with some relief, on the inside and out.
Sound familiar?
I get it. I've been through it (all the way through chronic pain to burnout, and back again to pain-free health). And I'd love to help you.
Bowen Massage
I practice Classical Bowen Therapy (Bowtech) and Integrated Bowen Massage.
Classical Bowen Therapy is gentle rolling moves on soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, fascia), with pauses to allow the body to respond. The moves are done through light clothing. It is suitable for a wide range of health conditions.
Integrated Bowen Massage is gentle rolling moves on soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, fascia), but without the pauses. It is deeply relaxing experience that can be done through light clothing or directly on skin with massage oils and hot towel compresses to warm and soothe the muscles. It is suitable for the same range of health conditions as Classical Bowen Therapy... and is ideal for stress, tight muscles, and postural imbalances — getting deep-tissue results without pain.
Integrated Bowen Massage feels awesome to receive. It gets fantastic results, usually quickly and often instantaneously. And it's the favourite form of Bowen amongst my clients, by far.
Health Coaching and Mind-Body Mentoring
I help overwhelmed, gentle-hearted people spend less time in their head and at the mercy of their feelings or their to-do list... and more time living an energized, healthy, happy life.
Coaching and mentoring is also available in conjunction with Bowen Massage, or on its own.
