Deadline for Anatomy Seminar

It has been less than two weeks since the invitations to the anatomy seminar on the 3rd March went out. I am very encouraged by the level of interest.
Based on feedback I would like to restate something that I obviously didn't make transparent enough on the flyers - there are only a limited number of places at this talk, around 15 - 20 delegates as a maximum based on the size of the room. Expressing interest although flattering will not secure a place, sending your booking fee will.
Please do not turn up on the day and expect a place. The deadline for all bookings is the 15th February - All bookings will be taken on a first come first served basis.
The second point, is something that I admittedly didn't even think about.
Although this is a Bowen website, and I am a Bowen Therapist. This 1 day seminar is not a Bowen course, it is a talk on some of the latest discoveries in human anatomy.
I personally find that the more I learn about how the body works, the better I become as a practitioner. The body's ability to repair itself is fascinating, and ultimately the seminar on the 3rd March in Ashburton is just a means of me sharing my fascination of it with you.
If you are interested please don't leave it to the last minute.

Anatomy Seminar - Ashburton on 3rd March

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am holding a one day seminar on radical new discoveries in anatomy that I feel is both fascinating and very useful to body-workers, medical practitioners and in fact anyone who is interested in the body. Some of you may have already come across these leading edge developments and understandings of anatomy, however it is new to most of my piers and many within the medical establishment and I am moved to share it with those who may be interested.
The Seminar takes place in Ashburton on the 3rd March at Holne Park House.
The price is £60 for the day which includes lunch and refreshments.
Availability is limited.
If you wish to attend please contact me, and I will send you further details
cheers

Happy New Year to you all.
A new decade begins, and it only seems like 5 minutes since the millenium.
For those of you living in the Totnes / South Hams area there is £35 worth of vouchers available in this month's Totnes Directory - use them yourself or give one to a friend, let them find out the benefits of Bowen Technique for themselves.
Wishing everyone a very Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2010.

A belated happy new year to you all for 2009.
Bowen Technique has gained considerable ground since I began almost 5 years ago. When I started most people on hearing of the therapy would say 'Bowen What?'. Now mainly due to Julian Baker's hard work at the European College, coupled with significant research projects both in the UK and USA, Tom Bowen's legacy is making its mark with the medical community and getting considerable press coverage.
With all this, I am continually reminded that a good percentage of patients I see would probably not have the problems they are presenting if they simply drank water 'little & often' every day.
In fact part of the process of the Bowen Technique treatment is that the patient need keep themselves correctly hydrated between sessions.
Somehow we seem to forget than we are, as humans, reckoned to be around 75% water, but we refrain from supplying it with a good source of the stuff - and NO, regardless of what anyone says, coffee does not count.
Get the basics right first, it then makes the chances of the rest getting better much quicker.

Finally I get to do a bit of updating. Its been a pretty hectic year, what with one thing and another. Working 6 days a week doing Bowen has had its own set of rewards and stresses. It has already been 2 months since Gill Headley made his debut seminar in the UK. Having had the amazing experience of integral disection in London earlier in the year helped enormously with understanding some of his latest findings. Yet another leap forward in anatomical understanding for me, and as it turns out a couple of eye openers for the medical world. The man really does have a rare talent for making something that is highly complex and buried in confusing terminology into an enjoyable learning experience. It was great to see practitioners from a variety of different disciplines from all over the UK attend the seminar.
Hopefully now that I can take a breath or two, and get myself a little more organised, updates should be a little more regular than twice a year. TTFN

Disection at St.George's

This week I had the honour of taking part in a two day dissection of the upper body organised by Julian Baker (Head of European College Bowen Studies) at St. George's Hospital Medical School in London, under the watchful eye of Professor Ceri Davies and his highly skilled assistants.
What set this dissection apart compared to the norm, was that it was working on the physical form layer by layer. There are few people in the world that have had the privilege to witness such a dissection let alone take part.
I was one of a handful of Bowen Therapists attending this event. The purpose from my point of view was to understand more fully what it is that I am affecting when I make a Bowen move on the body. Many body workers believe that we work on muscles, to alleviate tension and bring about change. After this dissection I can say with certainty that I have spent the last 3 years working on 'Fat & Fascia', and will continue to do so for the rest of my Bowen career or until humans are built differently.
What I have learnt more than anything is that :
A) Fat (adipose tissue) & Fascia (thin tough layer surrounding practically everything) has a significant role to play in the health and general well-being of the individual. And that our attitude towards Fat as being 'BAD' is quite evidently wrong and probably dangerously stupid.
B)That anatomy books although useful to a certain point can not only be unhelpful at times, but down-right misleading at others when one begins to look at the body as a whole and the interaction supposedly separate muscles have on another area of the anatomy, only to find that there is no division of muscle at all, except the one a surgeon decided to make 500 years ago.
C)The effect immobility in a given area of the body can have on the make-up of layers on the body, which in turn can affect other aspects of the anatomy.
Understanding what I have learnt and applying in clinic will be an ongoing process. But what I can say is that the last few days have been a real eye opener on many levels, and an invaluable experience which will hopefully help me to help others more effectively.
My special thanks go to the two donors who bequeathed there physical forms for the study of medical science. This work is only possible due to their incredible generosity, together with their families who have acquiesced to these donations. I feel enormously privileged to have been granted such an opportunity to learn so much.
My thanks also go to Julian Baker whose tireless commitment to Tom Bowen's work and the Bowen Technique has enabled us to push forward the boundaries of our understanding of how the body heals, and how we can as practitioners help it along the way.
