When I was 20 I was told I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 40.  Instead at 61 I started weightlifting …

I was a very active sporty child but age 12 I had an accident that changed the course of my life. By 20 I had experienced 2 knee injuries that resulted in 4 major surgeries.

This resulted in fairly widespread chronic pain and it was not until I found a Bowen therapist some 20 years later that I finally understood what had happened and started the road to recovery. 

The Bowen practitioner explained why I had so much pain everywhere. Partly because the knee surgeries had disrupted the anatomy trains through my body and partly because the repeated traumas had never allowed my fascia to recover from one before the next one hit. It was only then that I realised I had been traumatised and this was the cause not only of the pain but also of some of the emotional issues I had been dealing with throughout my life.

In 2014 my marriage ended and I navigated the breakdown and divorce while starting to train as a Bowen therapist and learning various ways to help people release their emotional trauma so that I could work with the mind and body.

Early in 2019 a big dog ran into my leg and severely damaged my already damaged left knee. By autumn 2019 I was told I would never bend my knee enough to get into my car to drive and I drove for the first time at the end of February 2020. Another medical forecast that didn’t come true!

Now I am weightlifting, using a static bike and a treadmill in the gym and going from strength to strength.

I understand first hand what trauma is, the effect it can have on the mind, emotions and body of the person concerned. I also know, only too well, that how other people react can help or dramtically worsen it all!

It is this that drives my passion to help people to lessen the impact of all this on their lives, so you too can leave your traumas behind and create the life you choose.
