Ainslee first discovered Bowenwork in 2007 as she searched for relief from debilitating migraines and did not want to go the route of medication. The headaches reduced to almost nothing in 6 sessions, but she was immediately aware of significant changes happening in her body. This was compelling enough that she inquired about the training and began Module 1 a few months later, soon realizing this was a calling.

Over the last six years Ainslee has been accused of being ‘contagiously enthusiastic’. Clients’ exciting testimonials have spurred her on to keep learning more about this unique and intriguing modality. And many clients have been inspired by their own experiences to become practitioners.

Previously an art educator, Ainslee also spent many years as chef, restaurateur and caterer with food as her artistic focus. Bowenwork-Art of Healing became a natural extension of her caring for people and of a desire to help. “My primary goal is to help people discover answers to baffling, severe health problems, particularly head injury. Prompt the body to take care of itself as it is meant to do. As a Bowenwork instructor, empowering people to help themselves and others has already proven to be an expansive way to share this work, with benefits of health and happiness. I am extremely grateful for Bowen!”

Andrea has been a practitioner since 2009. She aims to work with the body’s nervous system to make it more balanced and peaceful. She coaches:
1.) Tom Bowen’s 80/20 anti-inflammatory foods contain plenty of water and other enlivening techniques for drinking more good, clean water throughout the day.
2.) The movement of deep breathing in session, walking 20 minutes in the sunshine after a session and each day, and Bowenwork integrative movements after specific procedures.
3.) Waiting in between moves in the calming meditation of a session designed to release stress, working toward a restful night’s sleep for the glymphatic system, and the peaceful assurance that the body can obtain the resources required for self-repair without needing other deep-tissue modalities within five days before/after a session.
4.) What to do in the waiting days can be creative walks, finding purpose, support, love, compassion, humor, play, affirmations, and freedom.
