Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses minuscule amounts of potentised substances to stimulate the body to heal itself. Homeopathy works a little like a vaccination; a small amount of a substance that can cause an illness can cure a similar illness. A great deal of skill is often required to select the correct remedy or remedies to suit the individual.

Classical Homeopathy often works in a ‘top down’ manner, real physical ailments, often serious illnesses, are often cured by prescribing remedies based on a persons emotions and personality. We all know instinctively that emotions can affect us physically causing real diseases. Explained in a more medical way, our beliefs affect our emotions, our emotions affect our hormones (our bodies chemical messengers and regulators). Our hormones affect our health right down to a cellular level. Of course our emotions also affect our posture, appetite, digestion etc.

Bowen could be said to work in a ‘bottom up manner’ It corrects postural and structural problems in the body, this can directly help back problems etc., less directly it can help physical problems like asthma, and indirectly by improving the posture, function and relaxation of the body can be very effective in treating emotional problems like depression. Bowen gently encourages the person’s own muscles to readjust and pull themselves into shape which is usually longer lasting than ‘Pull and tug’ techniques

My Training and experience
A great deal of skill is often required to select the correct remedy or remedies to suit the individual. I am a registered experienced and fully trained homeopath Having studied both classical and eclectic styles of homeopathy at the College of practical Homeopathy for four years, followed by seven years of practical experience. I have studied the Bowen Technique under the European College of Bowen Studies and also a slightly different form (known as the Neuro structural integration technique) under Michael Nixon-Livy. This style is based on Tom Bowen’s later work. Both styles have their advantages.

The Bowen Technique
The Bowen technique is a series of soft tissue moves designed to allow the body to reset and heal itself. Using thumbs and fingers, the practitioner lightly moves specific muscles, tendons and ligaments, which promotes the healthy function of body systems. It is gentle and non-manipulative. The Bowen technique addresses the whole person, allowing it to re-balance itself and commence the healing process.
