What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: 4 years ago our daughter became extremely poorly with what was eventually diagnosed as abdominal migraine. She had horrific symptoms of vomiting and severe abdominal pain. The episodes could last weeks at a time and were not helped by painkillers or any of the other different medications she was prescribed. How did your complaint(s)/symptom(s) affect you?: She was frequently ill, losing many days and weeks from school. She was seen by many different Doctors, Consultants and at different hospitals. It was an extremely difficult, depressing and worrying time in our lives, that impacted on us all and we were very worried about her future. What activities have you been able to resume since receiving Bowen sessions? How has your life been improved?: In desperation during one episode of my daughter being extremely ill we were offered Bowen Therapy appointment with Lorraine that same day. Lorraine was amazing with our daughter and treated her there and then; we instantly saw an improvement and were able to get her back to school within the week. Over time, our daughter has continued to see Lorraine regularly. Her health has been drastically transformed for the better. Her attacks are reduced to few and far between and do not last more than a day at most. How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: 2 Bowen sessions a week apart then a third session after two weeks then a two month gap for the fourth session. Then regular preventative monthly sessions by choice.

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Frozen shoulders and severe migraines How did your complaint(s)/symptom(s) affect you?: Had trouble moving, dressing and even working with my shoulders and my migraines meant I was unable to work all of the time. What activities have you been able to resume since receiving Bowen sessions? How has your life been improved?: Shoulders are much improved and am able to dress myself now. Migraines have reduced significantly. How many sessions have you received (and how often)?: Initially weekly for three months (I really was in a bad way!) then fortnightly and now monthly. Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): When I first visited Kate is was on the recommendation of a friend, I knew nothing about Bowen. Kate spent time explaining her treatment and then listening to my many problems which included two frozen shoulders, joint pain and stiffness (caused by spending the last 20 plus years sitting at a computer all day with a very stressful job) and severe migraines that were occurring on an almost weekly basis. I have to say that Kate has made a huge difference to my shoulders and joints but the biggest effect has been to reduce the number of migraines. I think I have only had eight this year when last year it would have been eight per month!! Lovely Kate is a kind and warm person who makes you feel at ease and an hour with her is time well spent.

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Spina Bifida Occulta / Migraine Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I am a forty-five year old woman, who having suffered years of chronic back pain and being told there was nothing the medical practitioners could do, I was recommended Bowen therapy. I could not believe the difference in how I felt after the first session with Sandie Hamer. Subsequent sessions proved even better, not only has it significantly relieved by back pain it also appears to have stopped my migraines! I go every few weeks now just for a 'top up' and I feel wonderful. I have recommended Bowen therapy to many friends and colleagues all of whom have felt the benefit. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I have been suffering from migraine headaches for many years, generally I assumed hormonally triggered due to their regularity, Janet was recommended to me and I went for 3 treatments in close succession. I waited for my usual migraine to occur, but it didn't happen. I've kept appointments as top ups roughly every 6-8 weeks and have only experienced mild headaches occasionally sine. As the usual migraine would see me in bed for 2-3 day at a time, I can really say this has been a life changing experience. My visits are relaxing and refreshing. Reference:

Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): After suffering from migraines and irritable bowel symptoms for some time, and painful arthritic fingers for a few months, I had 4 sessions of Bowen Therapy. Even after the first session, I felt much more relaxed and my energy level increased. I have had only two migraines (I would have expected at least twice as many) and they have been less severe and shorter in duration. I have had some improvement in my IBS although it comes and goes. The finger pain has reduced considerably so that only one finger is affected now and that not all the time. A tight and painful left hamstring has also improved. I intend to continue with top-up treatments at intervals as I feel Bowen has really helped me. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Migraine Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I heard about Clare and Bowen treatment through a friend. I have suffered from Migraines from my teenage years to now, and I am now in my 30's. The Migraine attacks came on firstly with excitement and anxiety, much later after my children and hitting my late 30's my attacks have been related with menstruation. I spoke to Clare, she gave me a course of treatment and during this course over 3 weeks I experienced that the treatment was definitely having some effect on me. I awaited my next menstrual cycle and I didn't get the migraine I was expecting. As a patient, I can't tell you how the treatment worked, however it worked for me. I am now a believer in Bowen and have told lots of friends about this unique treatment. Clare is a professional and understanding person and is passionate about her work. I fully recommend her to anybody seeking the Bowen treatment. I have no connection with Clare other than as a very satisfied client/customer. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Hormone Imbalance, Stomach Migraines Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): For two years K has been unwell. The doctor said it was stress, then said "hormonal problems" K was off school 1 week in 4. She had pains in her stomach, she was pale, washed out - all she could do was sleep for 3 days at a time. Scans and blood tests came back clear. All doctors could do, was increase her drugs, with suspected "stomach migraine". 18 months later, we spoke to Jo and once a week K had a Bowen treatment. K gradually began to improve. The doctor said to cut out all drugs, continue with Bowen treatments and then report back to him, which we did. The doctor now only gives K a very mild pain killer once every 2 months. K is now 80% better. Thanks Jo, for all your hard work. Life is for the better now. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Migraines Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I have suffered with regular migraines for years which stop me from working for days at a time every month or so. Being self-employed this affects my business. I had my first Bowen treatment with Enys and it triggered a headache which completely disappeared after a couple of hours. The second treatment left me feeling drained, but this again passed. I followed the after-care sheet provided by Enys and had two more sessions. These left me elated and feeling very well. Since then, I have been well and my head feels clear and I have not had a headache since. I will certainly be returning for "top-ups" – a real revelation. I have recommended it to friends. Reference:

Within 3 weeks I began to see an improvement and had 14 days without a headache (normally 20+ headache days per month). I have had approximately 8 treatments and I have noted a significant and life changing improvement. I still get migraine & headaches, but they have significantly improved in severity and over all frequency. I am very grateful for the improvement in quality of life this has enabled. (I am also currently using cefaly device and agree both may be working, but very confident Bowen had dramatically helped). Reference:
