Some things that People Have said after being treated by Michelle...

Sciatica - I was unable to put weight on my right foot and was in severe pain from my buttock down my right leg. I felt extremely tense and tight. After my first Bowen session, my body completely relaxed. When I got up, I was virtually pain free and could walk normally! After two years the problem has not returned. - Paul aged 42

Shoulder Pain - I suffered from a frozen shoulder which was very painful when I moved or touched it. After my third Bowen treatment my shoulder returned to normal with no further pain - Henry aged 63

Back Pain - For 20 years I had been suffering from low back pain following a horseback riding accident. I was in so much pain that I could barely walk for 5 minutes at a time. After my first Bowen treatment, I went home and followed all the instructions for 5 days. The second day I had pain everywhere, but it started to dissipate after the third day. On the fifth day it was like I never had a back problem. All the pain was gone. I thank the Bowen Technique for giving me a new life and hope for the future at 60 years old. - Matt aged 60

Circulatory - I was dreading the return flight from Gatwick back to Canada and had not been able to walk very far on my holiday in the UK, due to a muscular disease I have. Thankfully I met up with Michelle who managed to squeeze in a Bowen Treatment before I caught the plane home. I got through the flight without any of the normal pain, and was so impressed with the change it has made I have found a local Bowen Therapist who can help me!! - Richard aged 53

Lethargy- It was worthwhile making the trips from Central London to see Michelle in Hertford. From being constantly tired and not having any energy for children or other pursuits, Michelle has changed my life. I can now go sailing and lead a fuller life that was previously impossible. I am sad that she has returned to New Zealand - Charlotte aged 43

Sciatic & Ilio Tibial Band - Thank you so much for making my competitive life as a tri-athlete enjoyable once again.  For two years I've put up with the pain and can't tell you how excited I was after only 3 treatments to be completely pain free.  I'll be back for maintenance treatments that's for sure - Adam aged 30

Pelvic - For the past 20 years I've suffered constant pain around my pelvis and lower back.  Went to a chiropractor many years ago who took  xrays and said my pelvis was out of line, but would never come right and I would have to put up with the pain.  I thought what have I got to lose in giving Michelle and her Bowen treatment a go. I  couldn't believe that after only one treatment I was totally pain free.  I can't begin to express the relief I felt.  I continued on and had the two treatments as recommended and still remain pain free 6 months on - Sam aged 58

Stress - I have a stressful job and by the end of the week I find I'm not coping all that well - tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain. After the Bowen treatments, I just seemed to handle the stress so much better.  I also noticed that I had more energy and didn't feel the need to sleep so much.  I'll definitely be back for more.  Thanks -  Jennifer aged 22

Knees - I went to Michelle for other painful conditions which were addressed by the Bowen, but it was my knees that amazed me.  I had had the cartilage removed from both my knees and had seen xrays of the bones rubbing together and was told that I would just have to put up with the pain from them over the years - I have a constant limp.   After the second treatment of Bowen the pain in my knees disappeared and I had no limp.  I would never have believed it, but will be back for further follow-up treatments, that's for sure - Richard aged 70

Some things that People have said their Horses have said after being treated by Michelle...

Cob Gelding - For a period of approximately one month, my horse was acting like he wanted to urinate and couldn't each time he was ridden,  The vet took tests which were inconclusive.  After his first Bowen treatment with Michelle, he immediately had a huge urination and for the next 4 rides he urinated 6 times each ride out. After this the problem went away and he was back to his happy self.- Chester aged 9

Irish Draught x Thoroughbred Gelding - My boy has had a history of laminitis.  He coincidently was coming down with it yet again when Michelle happened to be on site treating another of my horses.  I didn't think Bowen could help him, but Michelle gave him a treatment there and then and it never turned into a full blown attack. Within a few hours he was back to normal with no laminitis symptoms at all - Vortex aged 19

Hanoverian Gelding - My horse is competing at advanced level in dressage and lately has been stiff bending around my leg to the right and is also not happy performing flying changes to the left, as can't seem to come through well enough from behind.  I was truly impressed with the difference in his work after the first Bowen treatment.  He will be having regular maintenance treatments just to keep everything soft and supple.  Thanks Michelle - Daniel aged 9

Dutch Warmblood Stallion - My horse competes at advanced dressage and is a bit of a worrier.  He seems to grit the bit between his teeth and set his jaw at times when he's worrying over something.  He had his first three treatments with Michelle and after these he just seemed generally calmer and certainly has never set his jaw again - fantastic!  I'll be continuing to have regular treatments - Fabuloso aged 9

Australian Stock Horse Mare - I'm a professional cattle musterer and my mare works hard mustering which means at times she has to  actually push against some stubborn bulls.   After a hard day mustering, the next day she's a little stiff to get going, but after her Bowen treatment I was impressed with her fast recovery time.  She started work the next day with no apparent stiffness - Wilma aged 15

Stationbred x Quarterhorse Mare - Wow my horse has never felt so good, kicking up her heels and very forward going.  Over the past year she hasn't been happy jumping like she used to.  After two Bowen treatments the zing is definitely back into her and she's willing to try anything - she's a fun horse again - Lucy aged 9

Thoroughbred Gelding - When I bought my horse he came to me with tendon strain from constant foot neglect.  I had three bowen treatments a week apart and was amazed at how fast his repair was.  After the three weeks he could spin on a dime. Great stuff!! - Bosun aged 8
