Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): Since starting my Bowen sessions I have a general feeling of well-being, I feel calmer and more relaxed. As regards to specific problems I no longer have hay fever and therefore no need for use of antihistamines. Neck and shoulder pains have greatly reduced pains that I had in my thumb joints (from repetitive strain) have completely gone. By keeping on regular sessions I feel that I am maintaining my general health, both physically and psychologically. Reference:

What complaint(s) or symptom(s) brought you to the Bowen Technique: Hayfever, Allergies, Asthma and nasal Polyps Testimonial of your Bowen Therapy experience (how have you benefitted?): I am a fifty one year old female, who from the age of eleven has suffered from hayfever, allergies to soaps etc., from eighteen workplace dermatitis, from twenty-eight asthma and from thirty-one nasal polyps which needed three operations by the age of forty. By then I'd been on steroids for twelve years. I decided to try alternative therapies. Over the next ten years trying a Herbalist/Iridologist, food sensitivity testing (electrical response) and a course of serrapeptase (found to reduce polyps in some people – but not me). By the age of fifty the side effects of nasal polyps were taking over my life: - totally blocked airways, permanent frontal headaches with all the infections, coughing and wheezing as it reached my chest, partial deafness, unable to sleep more than two to three hours a night without choking, also choking at mealtimes with having to breathe through my mouth, chew and breathe again before swallowing. I also had no sense of taste or smell. This is was when Sandie introduced me to Bowen Therapy while she was training. Eight days after my first Bowen I felt brilliant. I could breathe through one nostril and could taste for the first time in years. One of my polyps had disappeared from view. The lymphatic drainage worked wonders. By keeping this working all the headaches, deafness and coughing and chest pains disappeared. After twelve weekly Bowen treatments I was massively improved but the polyps were still there. Sandie suggested homeopathic remedies pulsatilla and kali bich alongside my steroids and Bowen therapy. These initially were helpful but didn't last. She suggested Radionic Hair Testing. That brought another improvement and highlighted food intolerances which I am still avoiding. We decided that even though I wanted to avoid surgery, it seemed it was the only option left. Sandie was convinced that if the polyps were removed, that Bowen, especially lymphatic drainage, could keep the passages clear of infection, my nasal drops would have a chance to work, and hopefully get to the stage where I wouldn't need them at all. My doctor gave me a high dose of steroid tablets pending surgery referral for surgery. At fifty-one I had laser endoscopic surgery to remove all the polyps rooted in my sinuses, then six weeks later resumed Bowen therapy. I have monthly top-ups and feel fantastic. My life is back to normal. All my symptoms have gone, except I have no permanent sense of smell. It has returned three times for a few minutes each time. My problems started forty years ago, I'd been on steroids for twenty-one years, so Sandie knew she had a challenge on her hands. She put up with me very well and never gave up, totally believing that Bowen was the answer. I recommend Sandie to lots of people; she's an excellent advertisement for Bowen and obviously loves what she does. Bowen therapy has shown me that whatever you are going through, it makes you feel so much better and able to cope. Two years after starting Bowen I still have monthly top-up's and have no intention of stopping. I can never thank Sandie Hamer enough. Reference:
