What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Constant stress headaches, with occasional migraine - over a good number of months whilst taking cocodomol and ibuprofen to help. How did your complaint(s)/symptom(s) affect you?: Constant pain stopped me going out, cancelled work and meeting friends outdoors. Made me feel low at times. What activities have you been able to resume since receiving Bowen sessions? How has your life been improved?: I've not missed a day off work due to headaches for a couple weeks now. I've had a bit more energy for myself and been able to meet friends outdoors. How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: Have had 4 so far, one a week - and will continue to do so until off medication for my headaches. Due to the relaxation during session I plan to continue after though, maybe not as frequent as weekly Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): For me it has had a positive impact day to day - it has reduced the amount of pain relief taken daily. And I've not been bed ridden with a migraine for a good couple weeks. Whereas prior I was every few days. I would be happy to recommend Bowen Therapy to others.

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Migraines, Headaches, Fatigue, Back pain, stress How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: About 15 sessions, each 2-4 weeks apart. Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Myriam's Bowen treatment has been truly transformative for me and I couldn't recommend her more highly. I have been seeing her for a number of ailments, ranging from headaches and back pain to fatigue, high stress levels and sleep problems. Myriam's therapy has helped me enormously with every single one of them. Since starting the treatment I have been feeling continuously more balanced both physically and internally. I was particularly impressed by how effectively Myriam treated my migraines and headaches. After having suffered from frequent headaches and migraines for two decades without finding an effective cure, it took only two sessions with Myriam to experience several weeks of freedom from pain - what bliss!

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I originally visited Janie Godfrey about 4 years ago because I was troubled by persistent headaches. Within a couple of treatments the headaches disappeared and they have not returned. However I have continued to visit Jane on a monthly basis ever since. I find the treatment relaxing and I believe it contributes to my general well being. Also, in the last couple of years I have developed a problem with acid reflux which has not responded to drugs. Again I believe Bowen has helped with these symptoms and is enabling me to cope with the issues without needing to resort to surgery. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I had been suffering anxiety and headaches for a long time, I was advised to have Bowen done to reduce both. I did and was amazed at how good it was for me. I now go back for further treatments for other ailments, bad back, amongst others and after one, maybe 2 treatments I'm as good as new. I can't be happier with my treatment. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Headaches, Loss of weight, Nausea and Insomnia Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): At the age of twenty-one I woke with a severe headache, earache, stiff neck, sore throat and temperature. The symptoms became worse, the constant banging headache never going. Various types of medication were prescribed, some causing allergic reactions. One type was so bad that an ambulance had to be called. Many test followed, blood tests and urgent x-ray. I was given the strongest medication at the highest doses but nothing covered the pain in my head. Referral to the hospital Neurology Head Clinic suggested a trapped nerve at the base of my head. A CT scan followed, then physio and acupuncture. Nothing relieved the constant banging pain. I was virtually bedridden for four months and was told the tests showed nothing wrong. I didn't know what to do with myself. After five months the headache was still there but not as severe. This is when Sandie Hamer suggested Bowen Therapy while she was training to become a qualified therapist. She thought there was a possibility that I was teeth grinding in my sleep. I had a gum shield made. She also found that my jaw was misaligned. After my second Bowen treatment there was a slight improvement and after the fourth, the pain was milder but still constant. I returned to work after six months but still had head pain. After 10 weekly Bowen treatments the headache was just on waking and went within two hours. After fourteen sessions I went fortnightly, then three-weekly and then monthly. It took a year for the pain to totally go and the reason was never really discovered. I still have monthly top-up's two and a half years later. Sandie was brilliant and was constant support through a terrible part of my like. She firmly believed that Bowen Therapy was the answer and she never gave up on me. I recommend Sandie and Bowen Therapy to lots of people. She is an excellent Bowen therapist. I was a non-believer at first, not convinced that a treatment so gentle could actually be any good. What a surprise I got! Reference:
