My Bowen treatments with Linda are amazing, at the time deeply relaxing, and in the days and weeks afterwards I feel rejuvenated and balanced in body and mind.
She intuitively knows where her focus is needed and the effects of the treatments have lasting impact every time- my painful joints, brain fog and more recently whiplash have benefitted so much from treatment with Linda.
I recommend her to everyone and wouldn't go anywhere else

Thank you Linda for such an amazing journey through Kinesiology treatments.
Linda is highly intuitive and had the skill set to be able to connect to my body almost immediately after laying on the couch.
After the first session I felt so much lighter and extremely calm, having had the best night sleep in such a long time I was looking forward to my next session in hope that the feeling of calm would intensify and I wasn't disappointed.
After a succession of treatments I felt energized and clear, my sleep improved dramatically.
My body certainly benefited from the kinesiology treatments, also just to add I no longer have problems with my neck and shoulders which also benefited from Linda's expertise.I would highly recommend Linda if you are looking for a reset.

I have been having deep tissue massages with Linda for approximately 15 years to help release the tension in my back & shoulders.
This has played a role in alleviating the pain, reducing muscle soreness and helping maintain my physical health.
I would recommend Linda to anyone who is suffering from back pain & would benefit from this treatment.

I have been a client of Linda's for over 25 years now, visiting her for massage therapy as and when I require it, and other more specific therapies such as Bowen, reflexology, etc when she recommends them.
Linda has a vast knowledge and a natural healing energy that enables her to identify the issue and resolve it quickly. I am always amazed at the results. I can not recommend Linda more highly.

I have had various treatments with Linda over the years. I had TMJ work as I was getting sever headaches, jaw pain, nasal congestion, and pains in my ears. After just one treatment the pain had eased and the nasal congestion cleared. I was amazed and relieved with such a great and rapid outcome.
I also suffered with stomach issues as well as back and hip pain. I had Kinesiology which was fantastic. After the treatment I felt relaxed and the treatment made a difference.
I went on to try Bowen after a fall. I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed and Bowen helped me to feel relaxed and alleviated the symptoms from the injury. I also found i could breathe easier as I suffer from asthma.
Linda is amazing at what she does, I would not go anywhere else. I highly recommend her.
