More general information!

The first consulatation can last up to 2 hours. We will firstdiscuss the presenting condition and then explore the reasons why it is there.

The more I work with people and indeeed animals I am convinced that our emotions and physical wellbeing are inextracably linked. We homeopaths talk about a 'maintaining cause' . For example, you can treat someone with tuberculosis, get them well - but if they then go back to a cold, damp basement and it a poor diet, then they will become sick again.

This principle applies to everything. If our body's manifest pain in the back for example there is inevitably some emotional issue around support, be it financial or relationships. Authors such as Caroline Myss explain this far better than I can, but I see it in every case I work with. Sometimes however the client may have already released the issue, but the physical sign is still there and this is where Bowen comes into its own.

I rarely use homeopathy these days as it is extremely difficult to find the one remedy in 3,000 plus that is the one for you. Adults have had years of issues, medication and experiences which complicate the plot, but children are simpler so I do prescribe a remedy in some of these cases.

Once we have identified the underlying issues I will then do some Bowen. Please come wearing light cotton trousers and a t-shirt. You can feel spaced out at the end of the treatment. I will also be asking you to drink lots of water and walk (briefcase, child, dog free!) which helps the body continue the release process.

I expect to see a change after the second session if there hasnt been one after the first. Sometimes two will do, othertimes we may need 6. But we play it by ear, rather than say, OK book 10 sessions now!

Once 'fixed' then what should you do. A good analogy I was told is - we service our cars, but we don't service ourselves - we should do. Bowen is an awesome service! If you are a Ferrari - then make it once every six weeks. If you are a Kaa that does 5,000 miles a year then once every six months. But dont listen to me - listen to yourself. It is one of the most healing things you can do.

But all these therapies are energy medicine as we call it. We are simply asking the brain to enable the healing process. I like to think of a session as liberating.

As one wise aborigine said "If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time. If you have come because your liberation is bound in mine, then lets us walk the path together."
