I had 3 treatment sessions with Pauline. I was suffering with shoulder and neck pain and also having trouble sleeping. I found the sessions completely relaxing and enjoyed them very much and the pain I was suffering improved quite a lot as did my sleeping pattern. Very satisfied with the outcome

I have been having Bowen treatments for over 30 years.  Starting in Australia after an accident left me in awful pain for years.  Conventional medical treatments were not working.  I went for a massage and the therapist asked if she could do a Bowen treatment instead, the result was life-changing for me.  I have continued to have regular Bowen treatments ever since to maintain my well-being and I still love how I feel afterwards.  I am a client of Pauline, she combines her academic knowledge with a highly observant intuitive approach and is a first class Bowen practitioner.

I had tendonitis on my patella, a follow-on injury from my Achilles. It was quite painful and I was really struggling walking downhill or up and down stairs. Pauline treated me for a couple of sessions as she saw me struggling. Pain levels literally dropped the next day and after a few weeks I am back running again. Very impressed as I’d not heard much about this type of treatment before but a total convert now.

Pain relief after just 1 session! I have suffered with lower back pain for as long as I can remember, but then the pain became chronic. The main problem was unable to stand for long periods, relentless pain leading to sleepless nights. I was happy to try anything that could alleviate my pain and give me a better quality of life. I didn’t know what to expect…. My first session involved a consultation followed by lying down in a very comfortable environment, covered in towels, dimmed lights and relaxing music. She performed gentle soothing moves followed by short breaks where she left the room.

I have a very stressful life and I’m not a person who can easily switch off and relax but I felt totally relaxed and the treatment was very soothing and comforting, to a point I dozed off!

That night I had one of my best pain free sleeps for a very long time. I felt all the tensions had left my body not just physically but I also experienced a mental calmness. I was amazed by only 1 session, the results were remarkable. For the first time, I was not in constant pain. The most remarkable thing is I have not had to take any painkillers since my sessions. Pauline, thank you so much. Not only are you an extraordinary, gifted person but also an amazing therapist.

If you need pain relief I advise you to try Bowen Therapy and highly recommend Pauline as your therapist.

I first visited Pauline to help with underlying low level stress we all suffer from. She very calmly discussed matters generally and with great empathy and seemed to know what to do. She works intuitively in a mysterious way and in each session she rapidly puts me into an alpha state and a deep meditative state void of any thoughts. I leave feeling very spaced out and more relaxed than any good night’s sleep with my fundamental energy (qi) fully expanded where I am able to feel in- in the sacrum. 

We have also addressed physical issues. One such, a skiing injury to my knee, having suffered pain for 17 years with physiotherapy yielding no results and not able to do certain yoga poses without more pain and the loud knocking of bone joint. After 2 sessions apparently focussing on this, the knees was miraculously pain free and still 18 months on still painless.

I would not hesitate to recommend Pauline’s safe hands to anyone

I broke my wrist in a fall from a bike, the break necessitated the bones to be repositioned and 7 weeks in cast. Being in my early 60s the loss of mobility and strength in my wrist was quite severe and rather a shock. I wanted to find a treatment to complement the NHS physio exercises that had been prescribed. The treatments Pauline administered were both physically and mentally just what I needed. To have a treatment that involved a hands on approach was reassuring and gave me confidence in the healing process of my body. Whist the bones had healed well there was soft tissue damage in the wrist and hand as well as the loss of strength and mobility. Pauline’s treatments along with my dedication  to the NHS exercises helped me regain full strength in my wrist and arm and whilst I still don’t have full mobility in the wrist yet I am still gaining improvement in that and expect any loss of mobility negligible

Pauline’s treatment which is hands on, made me feel very relaxed and a feeling of being somewhat taller. I became aware of my balance and how I could adjust to a feeling of a central spine which induced me to walk more upright. The pain my right knee improved and my walking capacity returned to normal. Thank you Pauline

I very much enjoyed my sessions with Pauline. The space she used in her garden room was tranquil and calming and her approach is very therapeutic and caring. The treatment is relaxing physically and mentally and creates a defined break from the stresses of a busy work and family life. It’s like a mini holiday!

I bashed my arm and elbow on a cabinet. The pain just got worse to the point I was having problems picking things up with my hand. The pain was radiating all the way down from my elbow. I tried to treat it myself with painkillers and rest and some gentle exercises for about a month. Then Pauline took literally 15 minutes to treat it - not even. Following day pain went down by 70 % and then a few days after that completely fine. Can’t believe it. It was like magic and she barely did anything. Recommend.

Mr A

I saw Pauline with a longstanding pain in my foot possibly due to an operation in my calf muscle a few years earlier. As a result my foot and leg were very achy and uncomfortable. In summer this was made worse by wearing sandals . Pauline’s treatment lessened this almost instantly. I also noticed as a by product to the treatment, I had an incredibly deep sleep that night. Since this treatment , she has also taught me to release my tight calf muscle when I have over done it. It seems so simple. Generally I would say I felt very relaxed and rebalanced after each treatment plus she dealt with the issue I had with my foot.

I work out a lot and I have quite severe back pain which is almost always alleviated by a Bowen. Can’t recommend enough how effective this treatment is. I have no idea how it works but it does.

Mr JD

I have Bowen regularly. As a keen and dedicated sportsman I am regularly putting my body through the mill and this just eases me out as well as addressing strains along the way. I am pretty sure it is the best injury prevention. The Emmett especially releases muscles instantly.

I work in a nursery and my back went. I struggled on in pain for a week but it was so uncomfortable. Pauline treated me standing up and she reset my back instantly. It was a really fast and straightforward series of moves which she said might do the trick fast and it did. The majority of the  pain went almost at once and after a very nice night’s sleep it was gone completely.

JJ

I have repetitive strain on my arm going into my hands. I have a manual job maintaining pools. It aches a lot at night and affects sleep. She fixed it. Took her a few minutes over a couple of sessions. 

A year later it is still fine.

Julio

I play a lot of rugby and this usually results in feeling pretty battered after. A Bowen releases everything and feels like a re set. Highly recommend.

Mr J

I saw Pauline for treatment on my tennis elbow, after finding traditional physiotherapy exercises weren’t working for me. She performed a very quick and painless Emmett/Bowen treatment on my arm. I was sceptical at first as this was all very new to me. She explained what she was doing and how it would affect my body. Great news, the following day I woke up and the pain had disappeared completely. I was blown away. What I liked was the calm and relaxed way everything was done, so I’d recommend Pauline without hesitation.
