Holistic Pain Relief & Nervous System Therapy - Sunshine Coast

Hello, I’m Sharon — founder of Thrive Bowen and a dedicated Bowen Therapy and B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetics Synchronization Technique) practitioner on the Sunshine Coast.

My healing journey began in 1999 after a serious horse-riding accident left me on crutches for seven months and living with chronic pain for more than 20 years. I battled migraines, back pain and relied heavily on painkillers just to function. After years of searching, scans, therapies, adjustments, and endless appointments — nothing brought lasting relief.

Everything changed when I discovered Bowen Therapy. From my very first session, I felt a meaningful shift. That experience inspired me to dedicate my life to helping others find the relief, balance and wellbeing they deserve.

Today, I offer gentle, holistic therapies that support the body, mind, nervous system and emotional wellbeing — helping people move out of pain and back into their lives.

MY APPROACH:

A personalised, holistic method for reducing pain, easing inflammation and restoring balance

Your body tells a story — through posture, movement, tension patterns, and nervous system signals. My approach honours the whole person, not just the symptom.

Here’s how I support your healing:

1. I listen deeply

Your pain, your history, your stress, your goals. Every session begins with understanding YOU.

2. I assess your whole system

Movement testing, fascial patterns, nervous system cues, structural tension and subtle energetic imbalances.

3. I customise every treatment

Whether Bowen Therapy, B.E.S.T., or a blend, your session is tailored to:
✓ Reduce pain and inflammation
✓ Improve mobility and movement
✓ Calm the nervous system
✓ Release fascial tension
✓ Support emotional balance
✓ Promote long-term wellbeing

4. I support lasting change

Simple home-care strategies, movement guidance and nervous system regulation tools help you integrate the benefits beyond the clinic.
