Word of mouth is the best way of advertising they say, so let me share this story with you.

I asked Martine to share this letter with you. I just wanted everyone to know how beneficial her treatments are and how much they help in general wellbeing.

I first went to Martine in 2011 so I have known her for a while, I was amazed by how much I improved after her treatments.

Over the years I have told many of my family and friends to go and see her when they are in pain, and they have not been disappointed.

When my late husband was terminally ill she came over to our home and treated him in his.

She is not just my therapist I consider her my friend also.

She genuinely cares about someone's pain, she is honest, she doesn't beat around the bush, she does her job and does it well.

I always tell her she has healing hands, I can feel my body respond straight away, but it usually takes a couple of day's for my body to be back in balance, but that's the nature of the treatment so I know it takes a couple day's for it to set. Considering that I always wait until I am nearly crippled before going to her.

She is a miracle worker.

All i can say is :"go and have some Bowen and or Emmett you won't be disappointed".

Now how lovely is this letter.

Been everywhere

 

Few weeks ago this fellow walked in (his wife booked him the treatment) telling me he has this Sciatic pain. Pain in the lower back, going down the buttock and the leg. He had been everywhere, but never got any relieve. His wife send him here after seen me herself, but he wasn’t to convinced.

Why would I be able to help him while no one else could?

 Now that was not the first time I hear that, so I said well let’s see what happens with Bowen and Emmett. I see these problems a lot and it’s not often I can’t help someone with this.

 Clothes can stay on, my hands on is very soft with little brakes between the moves, I could hear him think; “more $$ down the drain”.

I booked him in for a week later and send him off.

 A week later he comes back.

Big smile as he walks through the door. You woman I don’t know what you did, but almost all the pain is gone just a little bit of a tingle in the right leg. I have wasted so much money and here you barely touched me and I’m feeling great.

I see you do horses as well, does it work the same? I just laughed here he didn’t believe in it and now he wants his horse treated.

 To finish of my story he came back for a 3th treatment and had no more pain, he was happy as a pig in mud. Few weeks later he cancelled his 4^th treatment because he didn’t need it he still felt really good.

 I think he should buy his wife some flowers don’t you J

Do you need to sit down to put your pants on?

 

Funny the other day I had this elderly couple walk in for their last treatment, when I asked them how they were feeling, they said really good.The lady said she feels so much more agile she can move so much freer.

Both said they don’t need to sit on the edge of the bed to put their pants on.

 I laughed, because I hear that so often and said I should write that in my next story haha.

She went on and told me she just thought it was part of getting older, the stiffness, the tricks she used to get certain movements done, but now she feels so much better and never thought she would feel like this again.

Her husband was standing there agreeing with her the whole time, nodding his head.

Before she walked out I let them read this and asked if she mind me calling them an elderly couple.

She said; “no we are elderly but now feel 10 years younger.”

 I feel so lucky I stumbled across Bowen and Emmett therapy all those years ago.

The opportunity to make people feel this way is just awesome, it warms me up hearing the story’s and seeing the happy faces on people because they feel so much better.

 Most people think they have to live with their problems, but this is not always the case, if the body can heal itself it will when it gets the right treatment.

The only thing you have to do is to give it a GO and see how the treatment can improve your life.

a new chapter

More and more I hear people from people they have a family member or friend who wants to come and see me, but they can’t walk up the stairs.

I even get pulled up on the street people telling me the same thing.

Some of my loyal clients who I have been seeing for many years are finding it harder and harder, but they persevere because they know how good it makes them feel.

So here I am walking down the street and I see the building I have loved to be in for 10 years is empty again. I thought what the heck, I’m ringing to see what the rent is like, and I realise my dream can come through. So then it went real quick.

I HAVE MOVED

I am so exited, my partner and I put in many hours to get it to look like I visualised.

I’m even changing my logo I had for 12 years, it’s looking good.

Not 10 min after I put my flag outside I had old clients walk through the door that I hadn’t seen for 8 years because they couldn’t climb the stairs, booking in a treatment. WOW.

Walkers, wheel chairs, anyone who wants to, can come and see me now, and I’ll do my best to relieve them of their pain.

Pain is not the only thing that I will be treating from my new home away from home.

I've added some extra services to my list.

Eyelash extension - who doesn't want to look pretty        

Henna tattooing    - who doesn't want to look funky

Body plastering     - capture those special moments in life

I am exited to add these to my list of things that I offer, I love being creative and I can't wait to share this with others.

Unfortunately the corona virus is going around, so I’m taking extra precautions in hygiene and I expect my clients to do the same.

Together we can fight this virus and get things back to normal.

Want to come and check it out, I have a reopening on the 18 apr. From 3 – 5 pm your more then welcome to pop in.

Auch that knot

All the time I get people in and they tell me they have a knot.
When all the fibres in the muscles are long and even it is healthy, but when they twist and cause a knot we feel pain. In the medical field they are called myofascial trigger points.

We loose range of motion and flexibility because the nutrients and circulation is not optimal in that particular area.
You are likely to change how you move, sit and stand just to avoid that pain but this is making the problem worse and you create a poor posture, creating more tightening in other muscles and developing more imbalances.

Stress is a big one it slows down blood circulation, I often get people in that tell me they are stressed and have neck ad shoulder issues, this is because they are tensing up that area and slowing down blood circulation.
Water intake is another one and then of course the biggest one is just living life.
We are movable objects and just like every other movable object we wear and tear that's why you get your car serviced, put new oil in so everything moves smoothly again.
Untreated muscle knots can cause chronic pain and lead to other health issues.

Bowen and Emmett work the same way, they allow the body to reset and balance itself, it allows the body to contain fluid. That's why it is important to drink enough water. When the body is hydrated the muscle fibres glide over each other freely and the is less or no friction.

Feel better with Bowen and Emmett.

Bowen and Anxiety

“Can you help me? I hear this question a lot.

There aren’t many things Bowen Therapy isn’t effective for so usually my answer is yes.

Most of the time people suffer physical problems, but sometimes it’s a mental issue.

Recently I started treating my most challenging client to date.

He was having some stress due something that had happened to him caused by someone else, and one morning he woke up and it was like there was a switch flipped in his brain, he suffered severe anxiety and started to get all sorts of autoimmune problems. He more or less turned gray overnight and then started loosing a lot hair creating bold spots.

Then to top it off he had a minor stroke earlier this year.

He also started to get pain everywhere, back, neck, legs he could barely move any more.

He looked like a little crippled old man and he is only a couple years older then me I really felt for him.

I started treating him and his wife was at his side, she couldn’t sit in the waiting room he had to have her by his side.

He was very relaxed during the treatment and decided he would continue with treatment protocol.

Long story short on his 2th visit he was much happier, looked more colourful and cracked a joke here and there.

On the 4^th treatment he walked in by himself so I asked where is your wife? She was at home, OMG what an improvement in such a short time, I was so happy for him.

He did confess he took a vallium, but hadn’t had one ever since starting the Bowen.

He has had 9 treatments now and every time he feels better, his hair is growing back WITH COLOUR and him and his wife feel like they are getting there life back.

I’m so happy to have been able to help him with my Bowen Therapy and hope with all my heart he will be 100% sometime.

Now I’m in the clinic all day (oh well during school hours from 9 till 2.30) I’ve noticed I’m getting a lot more people walk in and enquire about what I do.

The sign at the front has a list of conditions that we successfully treat with Bowen Therapy and let’s face it there aren’t many people who don’t suffer some form of back pain.

Back problems are the most common problems of the people who come through my clinic, and I’m proud to say by the time these clients finish their series of treatments they are usually pain free.

There are lots of back problems some are more serious then others.

There can be bulging discs, degeneration of the vertebrae, muscular tightness, compression on the Siatic nerve, the list goes on and on.

Usually there are a combination of things that cause us to be sore or in pain very seldom do I see someone that has the hips in place, so on the first visit I more then likely perform the pelvis procedure and in the 9 years that I have been doing this that procedure only failed me probably a handful of times and when I see that person back the week after the pain is less and the pelvis has levelled up.

On the first visit I always do a full body treatment, because you might have pain somewhere, but everything else in the body is affected by this and it could well be that the back pain comes from tightness in the hamstrings as well as an unbalanced pelvis.

Have a look in the mirror and see if one shoulder is higher then the other, this can also cause problems in the lower back and of course problems in the shoulders and neck, it can then result in headaches.

So you see one problem somewhere can cause another problem somewhere else, so by treating the body as a whole I’m more likely to get you feeling the way you should be feeling.

I always say you get your car serviced so why not yourself you probably need it more then your car J.
