Colette knows that curiosity is the well-spring of life, so she never stops learning. She brings 2,000 hours of bodywork training, as well as over a dozen years as a Bowen Therapist, to her practice in downtown Prescott, AZ.

She turned to bodywork in the early 1990’s as a client seeking relief from unremitting back pain. She has since graduated from massage and Feldenkrais training programs, as well as pursuing Bones for Life and advanced level Bowen studies.

Colette loves working with people and is a natural teacher. Private sessions at her office frequently include tips or mini-explorations to assist clients in clarifying the movement habits that may be contributing to their pain. Ultimately, she sees her role as supporting those who want to take personal charge of feeling good.

In addition to working with individual clients on a variety of structural and stress related issues, Colette offers Bowenwork Intro classes and BodyIntelligence classes to the general public.

As an Associate Instructor with the ABA, she teaches in a way that students “get it” , and can go home to make it a true part of their lives. Since Bowen is so easily adapted to everyday life, Colette is excited to offer these basic skills to anyone who wants to join her in making the world feel better, one person at a time.

Please consult her website for more information regarding private appointments or classes. She’d love to hear from you.

I discovered Bowenwork as a client during my initial yoga teacher training studies over ten years ago. I was referred by a friend to a Bowenwork Practitioner who helped her recover from physical pains brought on by extreme grief. I was having back spasms and difficulty reaching my toes in pada hastasana and paschimottanasana. After the first Bowen session, the results were unbelievable to me. The next day, my hands floated down flat to the floor with no back spasms. I thought, I must learn this and share it with others! And hence my Bowen story began.

It is fascinating how the body heals when we slow down and ask it to do so -gently-, by offering the Bowen series of touch. I thoroughly enjoy sharing this healing modality with my clients, as well as teaching the Introductory Course to those with the desire and intention to help others.

I love being an Advanced Certified Bowen practitioner and I am excited to show you what’ Bowen’can do! I discovered the magic of Bowenwork in 2018 after meeting my now-spouse Ray.

I am now certified to teach ‘Introduction to Bowenwork’ classes. as an Associate Instructor. Our clinic has also published articles in the USA and international Bowenwork/ Bowetch publications. I have witnessed miraculous healing, sometimes occurring in a single session! I see results in ways that were not obtainable in the hospital setting.

Through applied Bowen, as many as 80% of you will feel eased from a wide range of pain, immobility, acute and chronic issues you’ve come with.

I have been a Bowen client since 2013. After my ‘first’ Bowen session I knew that this was what I had been searching for, for my pain control, WOW! I had tried chiropractic, physical therapy and massage, even becoming a massage therapist- trying to find answers and relief. Nothing worked for long. I knew pills were not the answer for me. I had to study this strange Bowen modality to learn more. Studying became helping friends and family, who then referred their friends, etc. Eventually, after some personal hardships and meeting Maggie, I was able to finish my first certification. Now as a practitioner, obtaining advanced certifications, I look forward to helping you with your immediate AND long term health goals with Bowen, here at BowenWorks Magic.

In 1996 while working in the film business, Susan had been in a car crash. She totaled her car and injured her right ankle. After the usual doctors, physical therapies, acupuncture, chiropractors and massages, she was introduced to CranioSacral Therapy. It was during these sessions that she believes attributed to her walking without any noticeable limp.

Having been in the film world since 1990 as Art Department Coordinator or in the Wardrobe Department as Assistant Costume Designer or Seamstress, she changed careers and pursued studies for massage, CranioSacral Therapy (CST), SomatoEmotional Release (SER) through the Upledger Institute. With each client, she learned and applied techniques that were fascinating and achieved remarkable results.

And then came Bowen. The first set of Bowen classes was taken in Auburn California through Bowen International and Bowen Healing Center. Susan achieved a practitioners status. Then having heard of the original Bowenwork technique from Bowtech of Australia and founders Ozzie and Elaine Rentsch, she eagerly enrolled.

Susan is not, nor does she consider herself as a ‘healer’ more over she assists the body to heal itself. Living as a strong advocate that the body wants to be well. It does not function in disharmony, and once given the tools to remember wellness, the body will respond to the very best of its ability to begin the healing process.

Learning is something Susan continues to do. Taking classes, keeping her interests peaked and listening, provides you, with a confidence that Susan takes her life’s work very seriously. Since 2007 Susan has volunteered with ‘Hospice of Tulare County’, and 2008 at ‘Happy Trails Riding Academy’ assisting special needs children in their quest to ride horses. In this work a natural progression of working on horses came into play.

In 2012 she completed training as an Associates Instructor for Bowenwork and most recently, spring of 2014, completing ‘Bootcamp’ and training for a full course mod 1-7 Bowenwork Instructor.

Since 2004 Susan has been operating her practice, ‘Energy Speaks’ in Visalia, CA. and 2001 it all began in Lemoore, CA.
