I grew up in the Bay Area before moving to the Foothills in 1993. I found out about Bowenwork from a co-worker who recommended I go see a local Bowenwork practitioner for my sciatica. This was something I had been dealing with off and on for the majority of my adult life after a car accident injury. After years of working in the veterinary field as a Registered Veterinary Technician, I found that my back pain and sciatica became more and more intense. After 3 sessions of Bowenwork, I was pain-free.
The next time I had to go see the Bowenwork practitioner was 9 months later because I re-injured myself. This was the longest I had ever gone without sciatica pain in 20 years. It also resolved some digestive issues that I had dealt with the majority of my life. I found that I seemed to be able to handle stress better as well. I had developed Asthma in my early 20’s which affected me during each year in the fall. I had to use nasal sprays and inhalers to keep it under control every fall. Since having Bowenwork done, I no longer have to use the inhalers to control it. It has enabled me to get back to doing the outdoor activities that I love.
I had never heard of Bowenwork prior to this and was amazed at the profound results in such a short period of time. It was life-changing for me and I thank Ossie and Elaine Rentsch for bringing this technique to America! I became so excited about the way I was feeling that I wanted to learn the technique, so I started my two-year journey to become a Professional Bowenwork Practitioner. My passion for Bowenwork runs deep because of how much it has helped better my life. I feel strongly about sharing this experience with others as it really is life-changing when the pain is gone.
