Bowen Technique in Devon - HolisticBodyworks with Jeanie Blackall

Apologies for neglecting this page. Due to family illness I am unfortunately temporarily suspending my clinics.

Stress can effect us in so many, many ways - physically as well as mentally.

Take care of your health by finding ways to help you combat the effects of stress. A regular massage, Bowen, Meditation, Mindfulness, yoga, .... whatever you can do to support yourself

What stress does to your body | Physical Symptoms of Stress Long-term stress can not only trigger or exacerbate mental health issues, it can also damage our physical health too.

It's a busy time in the garden now, and almost inevitably our backs suffer.
Bowen is renowned for easing stiff or painful backs.

Excellent article here on the correct type of fibre to use to suport gut health.

Constipation and Fiber, Myths and Complexities - The Gut Health Protocol Most anyone that has asked a doctor about constipation has probably been told to “consume more fiber”. But is this doing more harm than good? First let me say that fiber is not bad for you, quite frankly I think most of these studies were way to simplistic.

Compassionate touch is so very good for your wellbeing. It's not just the "techniques" I use in my treatments that benefit my clients. A caring, mindful touch does have a positive effect.

Likewise it's important to keep caring touch in your relationships whenever you can. From a simple kind touch on the arm or hand, to a big hug - keep " in contact".

And come for a treatment!

Touch the One You Love The research is conclusive: Physical contact is good for both mind and body.

"Bowen Therapy can help you through the tough times and stand there smiling with you at the end of the year."

Our gut health is of vital importance to our physical and mental well-being. Anything that compromises the "good guys" bacteria is to be avoided. Maltidextrin is common in manufactured & processed foods. I've even seen it in supplements! So read those labels!
"Maltodextrin goes by other names too, such as “modified corn starch” and “Dextrin”. “Corn syrup solids” may be just as bad, it is the syrup form of maltodextrin (a powder). Both may have other names in countries other than the US.

So what can we do about this? Avoid boxed and processed foods as much as possible and read labels. If the label says anything about “maltodextrin” or “modified (corn, wheat, etc.) starch” it should be avoided."

Maltodextrin - The Biofilm and Inflammation Enhancer - The Gut Health Protocol Maltodextrin is a man-made starch used mostly as a filler. It increases inflammation and helps produce pathogenic biofilms.
