TESTIMONIALS

I use to have one leg shorter than the other and wore a heal lift in my shoe, along with niggly intermittent lower back pain and a dodgy shoulder which flares up from time to time. My first session with Carolyn for Bowen Therapy was very relaxing and gentle. I remember thinking ‘if nothing else this is as good as a relaxation massage with my clothes on!’ Over the next 24hrs my body found a new muscular balance, and I stopped wearing the heal lift in my shoe (as it was very uncomfortable). – Amelia Anderson, Disability Support Worker.

I began treatment with Carolyn to initially treat a type of chronic Migraine. After continuing to see her I began to notice my mind and body functioning differently and generally feeling more balanced. I would often come with lots of suggestions and ideas I had read about my condition, and Carolyn would listen openly and without judgement. I found this extremely comforting at a difficult time.
Carolyn’s approach to treating the “whole person” and not just the symptoms is just fantastic. – Olivia Cole, Retail Buyer, East Hawthorn Read more…

Naturopathy
I have learnt many amazing things about how herbal medicine, flowers essences, changing simple food and lifestyle habits can make a huge difference to health. It is my pleasure to be able to share these things with my clients and watch their own health journey move towards a place of understanding, empowerment and wellness.
People come to see me because they want to feel –
- Well & full of energy
- Less muscle aches & joint pain
- Free of allergies
- Less stress & anxiety
- Refreshed when they get out of bed in the morning
- Like digestion is easy and not a chore
- healthy for the future so they can run around and play with their kids or grandchildren
- like they have more mental clarity
- like they can enjoy their life to the full with wellness
My clients tell me that I explain things about health in a really easy to understand way that is simple to apply and really sticks with them – suggestions and advice you can take home and remember in years to come.
Bowen Therapy
I discovered the amazing healing power of Bowen therapy in 2002. I loved the way this technique balanced my physical body and made me feel calm and centered. At this point I was really beginning to understand how we hold emotions and energy in particular parts of our body and how releasing this can be beneficial to our whole health.
Bowen is a gentle form of body work done through lose comfortable clothing. This technique can greatly help with musculoskeletal issues as it encourages the body to balance the tension between our muscles, ligaments and tendons easing pain and making us feel less fatigued. It can also greatly improve the way we deal with stress and anxiety and help our hormonal system to balance itself. Bowen initiates the body’s innate wisdom to balance and heal itself. That old chestnut!
Within my practice I use NST (Neuro-structural Integration Technique) which I studied in 2009 and Bowtech technique studied in 2005.
A regular Bowen treatment can really support ongoing health and vitality. I love watching clients transform after a few regular Bowen sessions as they appear more relaxed and often free of pain.

About Me
I graduated as a naturopath in 1998 and have been practicing for over ten years. I was inspired initially by my very health conscious Mother growing up and then my Dad who turned his life around after being diagnosed with bowel cancer when I was 11. Suddenly our “healthy household” went to another level as my family became very familiar with a Dad who meditated 4 times a day, gave up the wine and cheese to eat huge amounts of colourful vegetables and gave our fancy juicer a run for its money. I saw the huge benefits these lifestyle changes made to my Dads health and accepted it as a normal part of life.
Like all of us, I have had my own health journey, blessed with the genetics of a sensitive digestion and nervous system, allergies and hormonal imbalances leading me to deeply understand and know how and what my body needs to be well.
Life continues to unfold and I realize there is no a destination with health – our beautiful bodies need continual support and nourishment along the way.
The best thing about this journey is that the choices we make in every moment regarding our health may initiate healing and wellness or stimulate sickness and disease. It really is that simple.
My aim is to enable people to understand that living an awesome healthy life doesn’t have to be or feel boring, restrictive or expensive. It’s about finding the bliss and wellbeing in making conscious choices regarding health and watching your body respond to that in a positive way.

When I was about 16 (57 years ago!) I had a bad accident which damaged my neck somewhat. Since then I have had intermittent problems with it and my back, until a year or so ago when these difficulties became quite severe. I couldn’t sleep at night and had bad pains in my neck, shoulders and back. I also frequently woke with headaches. I couldn’t drive as safely as I would have wished, having to stop and turn my whole body left or right to see clearly.
My GP prescribed pain killers and anti inflammatories – which I loathe to use. I saw a chiropractor once a week, a physiotherapist and took up hydrotherapy, all with some temporary relief. Then I was recommended Bowen therapy, found Carolyn, and my life changed. My first visit resulted in a remarkable (magical?) cure. Driving is safe, I can sleep properly at night and only suffer minimal soreness, on a few occasions, in my neck, which I am sure more Bowen will help.
