It was 20 years ago that I found Bowen as a way to help my sciatic pain without medication. I did not want to continue taking Tylenol and I buprofen to get relief. Bowen was the only other thing that gave me relief. Over 10 years ago my Bowen practitioner stopped doing bowen to pursue other interests. I was unable to find anybody that did Bowen and gave up my search. Three years ago my Chiropractor told me about the Bowen Team in Kennebunk. Bowen makes everything in my body feel better. After working as a nurse for 45 years, I had finally retired when I had the opportunity to learn to do Bowen. Like others my plan was to be able to learn to do Bowen on myself. After practicing on family and friends and seeing the benefits it provided, I had to keep going and learning more. I am a Black belt in Shaoilin Kempo Karate and Bowen works well on new injuries for myself and others. I have been teaching T`ai Chi for 25 years. I look forward to continue on the path of caring for people, but in a different way than I did as a nurse.
