In July 2007 I was introduced to Bowenwork -an Australian soft tissue manual therapy. When I first heard about Bowenwork I was extremely disinterested in hearing about another healing therapy. After studying and experiencing many alternative healing therapies I kept running into the same problem; the therapies only seemed to take me so far in my recovery and I was always cycling through the same old stuff. It took my girlfriend three times to convince me to try Bowenwork. I finally heard her when she said " Dena, its your last name! You have to try it!" It was only then that my ears were finally opened and I made an appointment.
