"The human body is amazing, its ability to heal itself is amazing and it is endlessly wise. All the healing potential is within us, and I believe holistic and integrative healthcare is key to aiding the body with its healing process.  I have a deep passion to help people out of their pain.  By combining Physio and Bowen Therapy I have seen wonderful results.  I aim to work towards improving the wellbeing of people and at the same time I have the honour to work with the human body, which never ceases to be a beautiful work of art."
