Absolutely loved Kathryn’s Bowen treatment today! The energy that she brings through adds another layer of specialness that can be felt and creates a deeper feeling of relaxation and centredness. Highly recommended! Anaya S.

Thanks for the Bowen and Access Bars treatment. I had instant relief from stiffness and shoulder pain. I was so relaxed in the treatment, I fell asleep and felt 10 years younger afterwards. I feel happy and energetic today and not feeling the withdrawal symptoms that I have been since giving up nicotine. George P.

    If a specific pain is being targeted, an improvement may be seen after 2 - 3 sessions. People may also feel instant relief during and after a treatment. For injuries and conditions that have been experienced for quite some time it may take longer, around 6+ treatments. Every body and the circumstance is unique so it is best not to have an expectation about the time or number of treatments it will take to change something.
