Bowen Therapy is a gentle form of body work in which very subtle moves are performed over the muscles and connective tissue.  These moves send messages deep into the body, and are believed to retrieve cellular memory that connects you with a preferred, relaxed and balanced way of wellbeing. The results can be remarkable, even from the first session.

In short, Bowen Therapy may help the body to reset a process that leads to healing.

Bowen Therapy can be extremely relaxing and the light moves performed are generally done through clothes. There are important pauses during the treatment where the body has time to benefit from the set of moves.

Bowen Therapy is referred as a “complementary” modality.  This means it will enhance and complement other medical treatments, not interfere with them. Nevertheless, having any other form of manipulative therapy or body work straight after a Bowen Session can compromise the effectiveness of the Bowen Work.  Waiting a week is generally recommended before undertaking other manual treatment.

Hi, I'm Tanelle and you may have seen me on Reception.  On the 20th of this month I am taking part in a Huge Bike Ride to raise money for cancer.

As the 20th of August fast approaches I think back to when I first signed up for the Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer; a 200 km ride from Brisbane to the Somerset region and back.  I didn’t even own a bike when I signed up for the ride, let alone know if I could ride 200km.  However, I knew it was for a good cause and I was up for the challenge!

Once I’d purchased my bike… and padded pants, the training began we started riding from Miami to Duranbah -- a 30km ride, which at the time seemed like a huge ride and left me huffing and puffing.  Now I am riding approximately 85 – 100km every Saturday and loving it!

As you can imagine, riding 100’s of kilometres on a push bike can take its toll on your body -- a sore back, sore muscles and a sore neck. Of course all worth it!  A big thank you goes to the Team at Gold Coast Holistic Health for helping me through these ailments.  Joyaa Antares with his Osteopathic treatments, Phe Gitsham with her magically healing Acupuncture, Laurie Ehlers with his soothing Massage and Brigid Fitzgerald with her Bowen Therapy!
