The Body Keeps Score
< because life is a bumpy ride>
We are all experiencing stresses throughout life, physical and emotional, small and big.
Mostly we brush things off and 'soldier on' - ignore or bury the pains and niggles, don't we?
Long term an over-load of unreleased, unresolved, stresses will impact on your well-being and performance; leading or contributing to all sorts of physical and mental discomforts, including potentially chronic pains & illnesses, depression & anxiety.

Services
I am offering Bowen "classic" and three 'extensions':
​
Mind Body Bowen - where we go gently digging for and releasing long held, possibly even unknown traumata from the body. It is a somatic approach with minimal question asking to have the body release its stories .
​
Emmett Therapy - which is a 'spin-off' of Bowen. I like using it in for the releasing of more recent musceloskeletal issues, or as a first pass to see whether the releases last long-term. If not, then it is a job for Bowen Therapy.
​
Qi Gong - and the chinese philosphy behind it allow for wholistic mind - breath - body work. Experiencing the work and gaining the underlying theoretical / scientific understanding in 1:1 sessions can set you up to deal with life's stresses in a calmer, more controlled way. In the end it all comes down to 'simply' understanding body-processes and how we can influence them to our advantage.
What do I mean when I talk about "Trauma",
and why is Early Intervention so important ?
​
​
Long term repetitive or high impact sudden physical and mental stresses often lead to imbalances, sub-optimal performances, in our mind-body-systems. Unless we effectively release the stresses imposed on our system; the earlier the better.
The more stresses we let linger, the more they can and will interact with each other, leading to more complex, less easy to resolve issues (refer to the example 'Bump & Bruises" below.
​
These issues I in short refer to as 'traumas'.
Many people still associate with the word trauma the aftermath after really terrible events, such as major accidents, threats to life by fellow human beings or natural events. And that is trauma too. However, trauma can come in many forms, small and big, because, life simply is a bumpy ride.
​
A few examples:
​
Bumps & Bruises
​
Given the widespread nature of this, just about everyone will be able to relate to this, when taking a moment to recap your life's bumps and bruises:
Falling off a bike or a ladder and getting bruised, "just a bit of a strain". Days and weeks of being in physical discomfort is leading to compensation patterns in movements. - Repeat a few times.
Years later this can lead to something else being torn or strained because it had already been working at sub-optimal levels for a long time.
Plus, the whole 'system body' can just give under the load. The one new bump being "the straw that broke the camel's back"
​
Much better to deal with each bump right away so that the load never reaches back-breaking dimension, is it not?
