Jennifer is committed to offering a mind-body and spirit approach to healing.  Bowen therapy for manual adjustment, ayurvedic coaching and yoga for mind and spirit connection to prakriti and vakriti or behavior, environment and action patterns for health according to unique doshas, and behavior, action, and environment patterns leading to dis-ease aggravation.  Principles for wellness founded in Yoga and Ayurvedic traditional science are explored in coaching sessions.

Bowen therapy is a gentle and non-invasive physical medicine that acts on the nervous system, muscles, tendons and nerve points to effectively restore tone and function.    Bowen therapy is a series of procedures that may help skeletal adjustments like chiropractic work.  It works to relax and reset patterns of muscle unease in the body like massage.  It also considers energy patterns in the body in adjustments like trigger point therapy.  Bowen therapy is a healing modality that is unique in its approach to reset patterns in the body and release congestion in the body.  The Fascia, muscle, bones, tendons, and stopping energy points are all modulated in Bowen moves using specific sequences for a variety of ailments.   It is a gentle and safe mind-body wellness practice which may be done over loose clothing laying and sometimes sitting.  It is not contraindicated for the elder and babies and has no history of malefic effect. 

​

Bowen therapy has procedures to treat many conditions including:

Infertility, bed wetting, sciatica, neuropathy, constipation/diarrhea, Irritable bowel, Vagus nerve,   headaches, migraines, baby colic, back spasm, kidney, TMJ, bursitis, respirations and conditions of alignment and joint mobility. 

Joint mobility and stiffness and alignment as well as neuropathy can be addressed in Bowen therapy procedures for feet, ankle, knee, pelvis, sacrum, buttock pain, breast, neck, upper and lower back, sacrum and thorax.  Bowen procedures can be given to manage stress.  Bowen therapy has a history of being safe for all ages as there are no vigorous manipulations of the body during the treatment.  

(Bowen is an effective therapy for any musculoskeletal injury and for when chiropractic/physiotherapy/massage therapy results have plateaued. It is a deeply relaxing and effective healing modality.)
