Background

Gay had suffered with back problems for many years, and had been to physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths, with little success. A friend who had learned the technique gave her a treatment and she was stunned by the results.  Though it felt as though little “work” had been done, effects were noticed almost immediately. Taller, straighter and reduced pain levels.

At that point in time, three consecutive treatments – each one week apart (rather than thrice weekly) were all that was required. The difference in Gay’s well being was so fantastic; she enrolled in the first available course to learn the technique.

Qualifications

Gay has qualifications in aromatherapy, Reiki, Touch for Health and NLP.  While she still teaches Reiki and practices the other modalities, the Bowen technique is the main focus of her clinic.  She began training with Ossie and Elaine Rentsch in 1996, gaining her Diploma in 1997.  Gay completed training as an instructor in 2004.In 2009 she qualified to teach the Specialised Bowen Procedures 1 course.
