Bowen Therapy and Energy Healing
Melanie Philip – Intuitive Body Worker
As Melanie works mostly intuitively a treatment is not defined as one thing in particular but as a possible combination of Bowen Therapy alone or fused with some form of energy healing modality.
Bowen Therapy and Energy Healing is an Intuitive non-invasive bodywork which is revolutionary in its approach to ill health, it is considered a Consciousness based health care system which is grounded in the science of quantum physics and combined with reputable bodywork systems such as:
- Bowen Therapy
- Soft tissue release
- Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation
- TRE – (Tension, Trauma & Release Technique)
- Energy Healing Modalities
- Neuromuscular Biofeedback
- (Kinesiology)
- Chinese Medicine
- Nutrition
What does it mean to take a holistic approach to your Health?
A holistic intuitive approach is comprehensive and considers & addresses all factors that may contribute to ill health & imbalance & not just the symptoms and diagnosis. Some examples of this may include different systems and functions within your body such as:
- Musculoskeletal/Connective Tissue
- The Organs, Endocrine, Circulation, Immune and Nervous system
- Body Chemistry and Toxins
- The Energy system
- Meridians, Chakra
- How the external environment may be affecting you – Emotional/ mental health states
I have been a Bowen therapist and Hatha Yoga Teacher for 8 years and over this time, mostly through my own healing journey, professional experience, sensitivities and personal fascination with quantum physics I have learned that we actually do have quite a few other bodies besides this physical one!.
This realisation took me on a journey to learn several Energy healing modalities like Quantum touch – Matrix energetics – Donna Eden Energy Medicine , Caroline Myss, TRE (Tension Trauma & Release technique), Emotion/Body Code and most recently Body Talk.
And so now my treatments have organically become more intuitive in nature, fused with Body and energy work as we aim to move closer into alignment with what your Body needs right now to be balanced as opposed to what I’ or you’ think it needs. This way we can honour your own bodies innate wisdom to heal itself and to reveal its own truth.
I work in a simple, efficient and gentle way and most conditions known or unknown can be addressed.If you would like to speak in confidence with me to know if how I work could be of help to you please don’t hesitate to contact me via any of the ways below.

Counselling
Mark Sparrow
Counselling offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, outside your usual circle o f family, friends or colleagues. It can give you a chance to say what’s on your mind, express painful feelings or admit to confusing thoughts, helping you to cope with uncomfortable situations and to make positive change. In this way counselling can help you understand your present situation, whatever it may be, explore your past experiences and give voice to your hopes for the future. I’d be there to support you and respect your views but wouldn’t usually give advice, instead helping you find your own insights into and understanding of your problems.

Naturopathy and Iridology
Sarah Burt nd
Sarah is a fully qualified Herbalist and Nutritionist, having studied in Sydney Australia, qualifying in 1998. She has been working as a Naturopath and Iridologist for 21 years.
Iridology is thought to show us the individual constitution and can highlight the factors that lead to ill health, alert us to hidden threats, reveal weaknesses but also strengths.
By isolating the weakened areas, Sarah can advise on how to adjust diet and life style to help you make the best possible choices for your health.
Naturopathy simply means ‘nature cure’. A Naturopath works with the understanding that the body has a complete capacity to heal itself. Naturopaths are trained in many different modalities to give the body the right environment to heal itself.
It is a gentle non invasive form of healing which aims to get to the core areas where imbalance is occurring, and not just treat the symptoms. Often it is only symptoms that are treated, usually with drugs that suppress these symptoms, which means that the disease itself will simply deepen and more loudly express itself. Naturopathy helps to treat conditions before they become more serious.
