History
During many years of her own ill health, suffering symptoms from Stress, IBS and a final diagnosis of CFS (ME), Carole came to the Buteyko Method (BIM) and The Bowen Technique. She (along with her horse and her dog) experienced virtually every treatment and remedy known to man. Together they explored many holistic avenues searching for health, wellbeing and balance.
It was Carole’s horse who was very responsive to Bowen leading Carole to exploring it for herself. After qualifying as a Human and Canine Bowen Technique Practitioner and starting her practice, Carole’s appreciation and love of Bowen continues to deepen. Only by experiencing Bowen can you fully appreciate the incredible value of what this gentle, non-invasive soft tissue technique may offer you or your dog.
Her personal experiences have taught her so much, Carole loves fluid movement practices and working to support the body through fluidity of connective tissue, via Melt Method, Liz Koch practices, Chi Kung and Bowen. They offer much relief of symptoms and directs the body towards healing, improved balance and increased wellbeing. Carole also remains mindful of the value of correct breathing and knows that Buteyko can be an important element of recovery. To regain balance and overall wellbeing, many aspects of a person’s lifestyle and ‘being’, play a role in this journey.
A holistic lifestyle and working with the best varied tools to support health and wellbeing has become more and more important in Carole’s practice. In her search for safe, mindful movement exercise and mental wellbeing she found Chi Kung, enabling her clients to have their own tools/understanding of the safe, gentle movement exercise that is Chi Kung, which she now combines with the work of Liz Koch, deepening the quality of change within as well as the accessibility of movement to those living with chronic pain and complex health conditions.
Carole is authorised to teach Canine Bowen Technique by EGCBT and she has travelled all over the UK and abroad in her role as a Canine Bowen Technique Practitioner teacher. She has recently stood down as chair of Canine Bowen Technique Association (CBTA) enabling her to focus on her work with Spring Social Prescribing. She continues to be actively involved with the MELT method community and revisits the work of Liz Koch each year to continue to deepen the level of understanding to share with her clients. She continues to be a member of CBTA as well as a member of the Bowen Association UK.
