Success Stories from my clients
Aromatherapy for general tension and rebalancing"I have known Amanda since 1999, and have always found treatments by her to be excellent. I have also recommended her to many friends. I recently had a treatment, quite a time since the last, and she is now even better - stunningly good! Because she has trained in so many approaches (remedial massage, aromatherapy, Reiki, Bowen, Crystal therapy and currently training in Kinesiology), she was instantly able to tune in to my body and judge what approaches to use. Her hands and fingers intuitively found precisely the right type of touch and movement in the right places to dissolve the tension in my muscles, especially in my neck and shoulders, and re-balance the energy flow throughout my body. Every movement hit the right spot in the right way throughout the treatment. It was a good reminder of how useful it is to consult her, and an incentive to do it more often!" Niki Holland Bowen and Aromatherapy over many years"I have been seeing Amanda for Aromatherapy and Bowen treatment for many years and am constantly amazed by the outcome. I have had two hip replacement operations on the same leg and this has caused many problems, which Amanda has helped me, address. Lately she tried some therapy on the scar tissue around my operations. It has been very successful and the discomfort I was feeling has cleared up. This is only one of the ways she has improved the comfort of my aging body. I would recommend anyone to have therapy with her, as she is so caring, sensitive and sympathetic to everyone’s needs." Mena Bowen Therapy for Back Pain and Shoulder PainPresenting with constant pain averaging 7/10 mainly at night. Vivien’s first visit to me 28 September 2018. "After 15 plus years of living with a painful lower back and locked left shoulder (and having sought treatment from physiotherapists and osteopaths) I am, thanks to Amanda, pain free. My back has straightened considerably and my shoulders are no longer worn as earrings. I cannot believe the transformation in movement and freedom that Bowen therapy has given me." Vivien 13.10.2018 Bowen Therapy for General WellbeingWow, what a gift! Amanda is extraordinary; I've experienced both Aromatherapy and Bowen, and with both she's VERY intuitive, will never follow a set routine, and cares about you as an individual. She reads you, professionally takes notes, and then works to a profound physical and spiritual level. I leave feeling rejuvenated, pain free, and very relaxed. Clever, wise and brilliant - thank you Amanda xx Bowen Therapy for constipationThis 70 year old lady came to me with constipation and diarrhoea suffered for 2 years, pain in left shoulder and right wrist pain suffered on and off for 15 years but more so in last 3 years and blocked nasal passages for several years. These conditions were affecting quality of sleep and worrying her. All medical tests for digestion/bowels clear. Doctor recommended limited mobility of left arm would help. Occasionally wearing right wrist support as and when necessary at night. She received 6 treatments over 3 months. Her bowels are now working normally with two normal motions a day. Her left shoulder is 85% improved in respect of discomfort and mobility. Right wrist 80% improvement. There has been as improvement in general well-being and better energy and she has noticed an improvement to her overall posture which has really helped her stiff back. Her blocked nasal passages are on-going and she has recently consulted a nutritionist to see if she is has an allergy to something and see if a change of diet can help. She would recommend Bowen for all of the above reasons. Bowen Therapy for SciaticaPresenting Condition: Lower Back Pain and sciatica following spinal surgery.
Walking, standing and sitting were all difficult after about 20 minutes. Also unable to bend over and do usual exercising to keep fit.
I was recommended to Amanda by an acquaintance.
I received about 6 treatments over a period of 10 weeks.
Since having Bowen treatment with Amanda I have had almost full recovery. I feel I have benefitted from Bowen in conjunction with being able to resume a physical exercise regime. Having had surgery I had to avoid heavy manipulation and Bowen was an excellent option.
I would recommend Bowen. "Dear Amanda, I am so pleased to confirm that since receiving the Bowen treatment a year ago it has changed my life. I had suffered with Sciatica for 2 years and had tried numerous osteopathic treatments that offered no relief. I was very sad at the prospect of having to retire from ballet. I can now relax and enjoy my dancing and gardening again and I am still pain free. I would recommend any 'back sufferer' to try the Bowen Technique." Bowen Therapy helps a Shoulder injuryThe pain and restriction in my shoulder made lifting, pulling and sleeping all difficult.
I received 3 Bowen treatments and after each treatment my shoulder improved so that now I can use my shoulder normally again.
Bowen is like having a "reset" button pushed.
I am amazed at how quickly I can return to doing jobs I struggled with when injured.
I regularly recommend Bowen. Bowen Therapy for low back painWhen I visited Amanda for my first treatment I had painful lower back and stiffness. Sore and restricted movement when bending to the side and had this for about a year. It prevented me doing some of the exercises in my exercise classes and being able to easily get out of bed. I received 6 Bowen sessions and after 3 sessions I had no pain or discomfort and am restored and have no restriction now. A friend in New Zealand suggested I try Bowen for my sore back. It has been amazing and I feel so much better and now able to get out of bed pain free. It is very different to other treatments. I had tried Sports Massage which is deep tissue massage but Bowen got the results. I must say I was sceptical before I started Bowen but now delighted with the results. I would definitely recommend Bowen. Bowen Therapy for Shoulder painI visited Amanda via a recommendation because I was suffering with shoulder pain and restriction.
The symptoms prevented me from doing most of my daily chores as I was unable to move my arm.
Since receiving the Bowen I have been helped enormously. The pain is nearly gone and I would only
say Try this treatment as you will be pleasantly surprised. It does work and that is the only
fact that matters to me. When I went to see Amanda I was sceptical but ready to try anything to
ease the shoulder pain. I don’t know why or how, but it is working and I would recommend
this treatment. Bowen Therapy for asthma suffererReason for Bowen: tightness of chest and mild asthma. Also prescribed steroids which I am reluctant to use. Bowen Technique for foot problemsWhen I first heard of the Bowen Technique I was a bit cynical about it and thought of it as another "gimmick". Our friends in Australia had told us of all the positive qualities about Bowen and recommended us to try it. 18 months ago I broke my ankle very badly (3 breaks and extensive metalwork inserted) this resulted in me not being able to weight bear for nearly 3 months. I had to rely on the good leg and hopped everywhere putting a strain on the "good" leg. Over the weeks I felt pretty awful muscularly and everywhere, my foot was still very painful so I decided to ring Amanda. Upon checking my injury etc. Amanda immediately recognised my knees being out of alignment and my body generally being out of sorts. After my first treatment (which was amazing) it was as if my body had been re-charged. My injured foot felt like I had a sparkler inside – popping away – no pain – just a brilliant feeling. Next day I felt shattered but apparently this can be normal – then gradually I gained more strength in myself and I could see the leg was not distorted. How can this happen we wonder? Well it did. I had a couple more sessions with Amanda and thankfully she helped my on my road to recovery. Bowen Therapy for hip problemsMy husband has recently had a replacement hip and before he went into hospital he had a session with Amanda to prepare his body for the operation. The day he went into hospital he felt he could play a round of golf! Paul had a further treatment from Amanda following his operation and after eight weeks (with exercise as well) he walks as if he never had an operation.I can only say positive things about Bowen and wish more people would recognise this amazing gift. Bowen Technique for shoulder problems"I had various severe pains from base of skull across right shoulder and down arm. I was prevented from sleeping well and unable to relax as pain increased with being still and also when driving. Since receiving Bowen from Amanda I am without pain. Before Bowen I was in agony and painkillers were not working, even the stronger prescription variety. I could not face massage because of the pain. I could not believe that such delicate touch could bring so much relief. After the first session I could relax – drive and sleep and not even consider painkillers. I would definitely recommend this treatment. " Equine Bowen Therapy"Our vet recommended that we arrange for our horse X to receive some body work – and suggested either physio or Bowen to help him recover from muscle imbalance. He had been off work for over 9 months due to lameness in his right fore. We had rested him for long periods of time and tried to bring him back into work, but he was not sound. After a steroidal injection he was reasonably sound without a rider, but markedly less sound when ridden, particularly on the right rein. Our farrier was personally able to recommend Amanda having had good results from her Bowen treatments for his own workplace problems. ‘X’ was quite agitated at beginning of the Bowen treatment and Amanda explained that he was releasing from tension created from his injury and lameness. After each treatment ‘X’ showed an improvement in his balance and was showing less objection to moving on the right rein. We were still just loose lungeing him giving him time to release compensations and tensions and allowing time to realign and balance before we attempted to ask him to take a rider. After the fifth treatment he was able to take more demanding work in hand and after the sixth treatment he was using his body well and able to take a rider. He has continued to improve and we are delighted with his progress. I would thoroughly recommend Amanda for this type of work – it has made a huge difference to the horse’s well being.""My visits to Amanda started as a gift from a friend X years ago and I have been going regularly ever since! The massages are fantastic as Amanda is very perceptive and finds trouble 'spots' which I didn't even know I had, as well as helping to heal known areas! It is a wonderful therapeutic experience and I'm eternally grateful for the gift all those years ago." Lottie Razzle Roisin, (Rosie) 14,2 Traditional Cob mare, 9 yrs old. Aromotherapy massageAmanda will always tailor the essential oils she uses to suit whatever problem, mood or condition I am experiencing at the time. She has a wonderful massage technique allowing total relaxation to take over. She easily locates and tackles areas where there is tension in the body (even if you weren't aware of it!) Amanda is an excellent listener and is very easy to chat to, and I've found her massage sessions to be a great way to de-stress and escape for a while. "I have been coming to Amanda for 5 years. "Amanda is a fantastic masseur. She really finds the "spots" and works on them. I sit at a computer 4 days a week and so visit her regularly so she can loosen me up and make corrections to my body. She is also a very interesting lady to talk to especially on health matters and has made useful recommendations to me in terms of who it would be good to go and see. "I have been having regular aromatherapy massages and occasionally other treatments from Amanda for almost twelve years. The aromatherapy massages are wonderful and I leave her clinic feeling both relaxed and invigorated. I feel she has 'healing hands' which seem to zone in on the cause of any aches and pains I might have. I have no hesitation in recommending Amanda." Crystal HealingTestimonial of Anne MacIntyre 30.9.09 Crystal treatment from Amanda: Crystal therapy For me a crystal treatment is deeply relaxing – leaving me calm, happy and more focussed.
