A little about me and How my Journey Began
In 1999, I experienced a serious horse-riding accident that left me on crutches for seven months—six of those unable to bear any weight. What followed was a long and exhausting journey marked by chronic migraines, persistent back pain, and a daily reliance on painkillers just to get by.
I spent years searching for relief—consulting multiple doctors, undergoing MRIs, X-rays, and countless other tests. Yet, despite all efforts, there were no answers, and the pain continued. I tried regular chiropractic treatments, which, while effective for some, didn’t resonate with my body. I then explored various massage therapies, which felt great in the moment but often left me bruised and brought only minimal, short-lived relief.
Then, a turning point—my sister recommended I try Bowen Therapy. Admittedly, I was skeptical. How could such a gentle treatment make a real difference? But in my desperation, I agreed to give it a go.
From my very first session, I was absolutely amazed. My headaches, back pain, and overall body discomfort began to ease. I slept more soundly and felt more energised than I had in years. Each session brought greater relief, and over the course of just a few weeks, the changes were incredible. My migraines became infrequent, my back pain significantly reduced, and for the first time in 20 years, I felt like myself again.
I was hooked—Bowen Therapy had truly changed my life.
One day, after a treatment, I went for my usual walk. I suddenly had the urge to run, simply because I felt so good. In that moment, a powerful thought came to me: What if I could help others feel this way too? What if I could support people who, like me, had endured years of pain and unanswered questions, and help them rediscover a life of comfort, vitality, and wellbeing?
And that’s when my journey with Bowen Therapy truly began—not just as a client, but as a practitioner, dedicated to helping others heal.

My Beliefs About Health
I Believe
The journey to optimal health is deeply individual. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another. Each of us requires a tailored approach to achieving and maintaining well-being.
My Goal
I aim to provide the community with a range of health services in one convenient location. We have created a welcoming space where patients can learn, relax, and improve their overall health in a supportive and friendly environment.
What I Think
Health is about creating a safe and nurturing space for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. It's essential to address all aspects of the individual to promote holistic well-being.
I Practice
Our wellness principles to prepare patients for a healthier, more fulfilling life. Currently, we offer Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) treatments and Bowen Therapy, both designed to support and enhance your health journey.
Please note, B.E.S.T. is a system of mind/body integration, not a medical practice. As a B.E.S.T. practitioner, I do not diagnose illnesses or prescribe medications. However, B.E.S.T. is fully compatible with other treatments and has been shown to complement and enhance their effectiveness without interference.
