Learn from your cat

Take a lesson from your cat.  Have you noticed that when cats wake up they stretch? When you awake in the morning, you’ve probably been sleeping in some funny position all night or for too long. To get your spine in correct alignment before getting out of bed, start this habit. Raise your hands above your head, point your toes, and stretch for a count of 10. Then, roll over on your side, bend...

Another Migraine Wiped Out in Minutes

I was at work one morning this week when a co-worker mentioned she had a splitting headache.  She felt it was becoming a migraine.  I told her to give me 30 minutes with her on my massage table.  I did the Bowen migraine procedure on her.  Afterwards, she reported that the headache felt very dull.  I saw her about an hour later, and she said the headache was no longer there.  She appreciated being...

Migraine vanished!

The most dramatic use of my Amega Amwand recently was in the case of a woman who has frequent migraine headaches.  When I greeted her in the reception area, she was holding her head in her hands because the light increased her discomfort.  Before we began our bodywork session, she reported her headache pain being a 10 on a scale of 0 to 10 (10=most painful).  Before starting the Bowen Therapy treatment,...

Are you for Healthcare Reform?

I don’t know about you but for me, I don’t want the federal government to say I have to buy health insurance.  People should be able to make this decision on their own.  As insurance premiums rise, more people are choosing to be proactive in their approach to health care, meaning they are all about prevention rather than “fixing it once it’s broke.”  It’s less...

Chihuahua Got His Bounce Back

An elated owner of my most recent pet client, a 3 1/2 year-old chihuahua, just called to tell me her exciting news.  She asked me to post this for her because she does not have a computer.  So, here it is: “Blue’s left leg had suddenly become useless.  I don’t know what happened, but overnight it seemed he refused to use it.  I took him to Brenda.  She worked on his back, hip, leg...

Bowen Therapy Testimonials

I have been using the Bowen Technique and NST (Neuro-Structural Integration Technique) for many years now.  I began 11 years ago with it.  I have seen remarkable results from using this gentle but effective technique. For instance, one woman came to in with severe hip pain and fibromyalgia.  After her first session, she reported having no hip pain for the first time in 13 years. Another lady with...

Bowen for Animals

Have you ever seen a dog or cat get bodywork?  It is so amusing.  First, they look back at you as if to say, “What are you doing?”  A few moments later, they are relaxing and melting underneath my hands.  Animals have no preconceived ideas about whether what I am doing is going to work or not.  They are not thinking, “She’s hardly doing anything — how could this work?”  They simply feel...
