Anne shares with us her history of how she went from school teaching to Bowen and the development of the Mind/Body approach she has been using now for many years.

We discuss the value of letting the inherent wisdom of the body guide the process and how that incorporates the mind, body, emotions, and spiritual aspects of our nature. Anne shares from her experience why the less is best method works well for her and how she can sometimes leave a 30 minute break after a procedure to really allow the body to process what comes up. Anne speaks of how the original issues that cause dysfunction can often go right back to birth and very early childhood.

This is a beautiful interview with one of the world's most experienced practitioners and well worth your time to listen to.

Today we are speaking with College of Bowen tutor and Mindfulness teacher Kathryn Hamer. Kathryn shares her incredible story of how she started to have Bowen from her mum, also a Bowen practitioner, for the advanced carpal tunnel syndrome she had, having been told that surgery was her only option and she'd never work with her hands. Not only did the Bowen clear the carpal tunnel syndrome, but for the first time in years, it gave Kathryn peace from the harrowing drug addiction she had and began her process of recovery.

This is such a beautiful story, shared so openly for us to show how much Bowen can create changes in spaces that we wouldn't imagine. Kathryn is now a passionate advocate for Bowen Technique and her story just shows us how much can be accomplished with this amazing tool. We hope you enjoy this interview with it's raw vulnerability about such a difficult topic.

Annie's story is unique in that she lives on a fairly small island off the coast of Scotland UK, the Isle of Mull. She moved there to support her father and raise her children and developed for herself a very successful massage business, doing a lot of care for the over 65's and getting a lot of referrals from the local GPs. She moved back down to England and became a care home manager and was delivering a lot of training on health and social care before moving back to Mull and training in Bowen in 2021 with CBS. Since then she has not only made a thriving business, but is passionate about bringing Bowen to the more remote parts of Scotland where there is little provision for the technique.

Annie sees the Introduction courses as a great way to get the community ot help themselves and we talk a lot about how island life has changed over the last 30 years and how much more dependent on tourism they are. This means that many people, especially women, are depending on seasonal work, and Annie sees this as a chance to expand the employment opportunities as well as the health of the islanders. She has also been invited by local high schools to share Bowen with the students and will be working with the University of the Highlands and Islands to deliver the Introduction to Bowen courses.

This is such a great story of the value of Bowen Technique in rural communities, we hope you all enjoy listening to this interview as much as Ben did in recoding it.

Today I have a great interview with Bowen College UK teacher Jun Chow to look as his CPD workshop the Neurological Approach to Bowen.

Jun takes us through his history, starting with his degree in Animal Science and his ideas of working with horses and how that led to training in Bowen (without having had a session himself at that time!)

We explore how he became interested in the neurological aspects of Bowen and why he feels muscle testing is an essential skill to add to your Bowen practice, with a couple of simple tools offered as examples of what you can learn with him.

Plus we get the news that there is a part 2 and possibly a part 3 to the Neurological Assessment and Tools CPD that Jun will be offering.

We also take some time to discuss the support community that Jun offers for any Bowen practitioner, regardless of who they trained with on WhatsApp and his plans for a hold-your-hand type business guide to help new practitioners (and us old dogs who are open to new tricks) get a handle on the business of Bowen.

It was so enjoyable to speak to such an enthusiastic up and coming teacher in the wonderful world of Bowen, we hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did making it.

I have another very interesting video for you, with pain and movement specialist and founder of the Bigger than Pain program, David McGettigan.

David has a really interesting history of trying to solve the chronic pain issues he developed in his teens, which led him to a degree in sports rehabilitation, which, disappointingly, did not help him solve his issues. He then trained in the Anatomy in Motion work of Gary Ward and Jose Palomar's P-DTR, which has had an influence on the muscle testing that is coming through more and more in Bowen technique (see our recent interview with Jun Chow of CBS and last year's interview with Paul Esson).

David has taken his knowledge and experience to develop his specialised online program, "Bigger Than Pain." This personalised system helps people understand their own pain journey and narrative, with a detailed recovery tool kit, community support, and guidance from the man himself.

David has also authored several great articles on his Substack account and has over 280 videos on his YouTube channel.

This was a really interesting interview and gives us a really good view in what is beyond just the physical treatment of pain, plus great access to some amazing resources for our clients (including the great free e-book on pain).

Today I am speaking with Russell Sturges, the founder and developer of Fascial Kinetics, perhaps the original offshoot from the initial form of Bowen Technique taught by Bowtech.

Russel explores his early start in the world of bodywork from doing osteopathic massage as a teenager, through to the training and development that lead him to found Fascial Kinetics.
We then explore more about his mindfulness, personal and spiritual development programs and why he feels these are so essential to being an effective practitioner.

We also discuss some of his books and his work with the Tarot and it's value in personal development. This is a really fascinating interview with a deeply aware teacher, well worth your time and attention.

I am really pleased to bring my next interview with leading voices in the Bowen and bodywork world.
Today we are talking to Alastair McLoughlin, ex-Bowen Teacher and developer of McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release and The Art of Bodywork training.

Alastair has a long career, starting in massage in 1983, and after building a highly successful practice, went on to qualify in Bowen Technique in 1994.
He was invited to teach for the Bowen Academy of Australia in 1997. He went on to develop his own range of techniques, with his particular interest in the effect of scars on body function and the developments he worked through in the clinic which became his Art of Bodywork classes.

His practical and no-nonsense approach to bodywork has made him a leading voice in our industry and this is a great interview to get to know his work.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT, speaks with Ben Calder about his transformative journey into integrative healing, exploring how personal challenges led him to embrace modalities like kinesiology, Bowen therapy, and Qigong to empower others in their health journeys.

Highlights from today’s episode include:
Ben Calder  They would have a logic, okay, if we’ve got a mind component, do we need to do anything with the mind? If we’ve got a body and behavior component, do we need to do something with that? And that might have included diet and nutrition.

Ben Calder  You know, I see quite a number of people in their 60s and 70s. And almost the number one thing that they will tell me is that the doctor has told them that they can expect it because of their age. And at that point, I want to slap that doctor and just say, No, that’s not true. 
Ben Calder  You know, give yourself a decade to master a level of Qigong, and it’s not a quick fix, and you may not even feel it in the first 2,3,4 sessions. You know, the Chinese would traditionally say 100 days of practice to start feeling your chi and then the rest of your life to master it.

ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, FCAH, RBHT

It is with great gratitude and respect, I get to share my interview with world leading anatomist Gil Hedley, founder of Integral Anatomy.

Gil has been teaching “integral anatomy” in the dissection laboratory, via keynotes and speaking tours, and online via his extensive website and subscription portal, www.gilhedley.com, and his YouTube channel, "Somanaut," since 1995. He is the producer of The Integral Anatomy Series, the Anatomy from A to Z Project, and The Nerve Project, as well as being the author of several books and anatomy models.

He is based at the Institute for Anatomical Research in Colorado Springs, CO, where he teaches, films, and serves as Board President.

We talk about his history, what led him to this deep exploration of anatomy and how it has informed his views on life. 

He speaks about the work leading upto his Nerve Tour, of which there will be a special European livestream on 5th January 2025 and how all of this is relevant for those of us working with health in any modality.

This was a really exciting interview to do and I know that the Bowen community will really benefit from this, as we have from Gil's work over the last 15+ years.

I am really excited to share this next instalment, where we interview Ross Emmett, who many of you will know as the founder of EMMETT Technique, a worldwide technique for helping with pain and movement issues.

Ross has also been involved in the development of Bowen Technique and taught for 8 years from 1988 and shared the evolving forms of his technique, which began before he knew any body therapy, with many of the early pioneers of Bowen, some of whom considered Ross's work "The missing link" in Bowen.

Ross talks about his work with animals and how that was the initial place his work began and how that still forms an important part of his work today.

We also talk about how your clothes and objects you wear (such as watches) can significantly unbalance the body.

This was a really interesting interview to conduct and I am really grateful to Ross for being so open about his history. There is certainly much to learn from his work and we hope you will enjoy this as much as I did.

In this episode, I am really grateful to have Lindsay Holder, lead UK tutor for Smart Bowen.

Lindsay takes us through her history from studying Equine Sciences at University, her introduction to Bowen, which came just from wanting to use it with horses, to why she rates Smart Bowen.

We also explore her work in the canine and equine world with Bowen and why she feels that is such a special area to work, right through to her dissection work on horses, working with leading horse anatomist Sharon May-Davis.

Another really interesting interview to explore the diversity of Bowen and what it can accomplish, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm excited to share this episode, where I talk to Joanne Hewitt of Bowen College UK who has the vision of seeing a Bowen Practitioner in every GP surgery.
She was inspired while working as a practice manager in a GP surgery by Paula Esson and decided to make a career shift and train in Bowen (whilst pregnant) and went on to do a lot of work with children and pregnant women.

Joanne talks to us about the value of the new introduction weekends that are now available through the Bowen College to begin as a stepping stone to full training, but also to help families to be able to better support one another, reducing the NHS burden.

She's very keen to promote the idea of maintenance rather than breakdown and also incorporates Homeobotanicals in her work. I hope you enjoy the episode.

We discuss her vision (and also the title of one of her books) to have a healer in every household and what that might mean for healthcare and the world in general.

In this episode I'm very excited to be interviewing Jihan Adem of the Bowen College UK. We talk about her history and how she got into Bowen before getting into why she is so passionate about teaching this work and what her deep interests are; TMJ, Breathing and their relationship to sleep.

We also talk to her about her upcoming CPD workshop for the BTPA AGM on 5th October 2024 - open to members and non-members, where she is sharing some of the wonderful Empowering Movement training she has developed with Rebecca Ellis to help physical therapists explore exercises and movement practices that can be safely used with their clients to help further their rehabilitation (we are REALLY looking forward to experiencing this)

We also talk about how Jihan was part of an international team, along with fascia legend Robert Schleip, to develop the first ever fascia network plastination for the Body Works exhibition in Berlin.

I know I say it every time, but this was a really great interview and has me super-excited for the BTPA AGM this year, where I hope to see more of you to join in with this wonderful new work that is coming forward. If you'd like to learn more about Jihan and her work, you can check out here links

Paula has been an exceptional example of tenacity and diligence when it comes to getting Bowen into the more mainstream focus and use in the NHS. Having pioneered the Northern Integrative Health Practice (NHIP) a collaborative partnership between the NHS and a multi-disciplinary team for chronic pain management, Paula has led the way in helping Bowen gain the recognition it really deserves.

Paula talks about her development, coming from a sports science background, through to her current role working with elite footballers and her fascination with neuroscience and the role it plays in Bowen Technique.

It was so great to chat with Paula again, having been taught by her in my Sport 1 and 2 modules and having the greatest of respect for how she conducts herself and what a credit to the world of Bowen she is.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we did to film it. Paula has also been very generous (as she always is) to be available to anyone wanting to learn more about Bowen and the benefits it can give.

In this interview, we get to hear a little of their history and how they came to Bowen (from Martial Arts and the automotive industry - but guess who did what!) and how they have come to be teaching Bowen in the UK.

We also talk about the developments in the College of Bowen Studies, the updates and improvements to how they are teaching the core Bowen work, from the new student portal to the video content to help students, new illustrated guides and the expanded CPD availability, including the new support aspects for business development and safeguarding they are bringing online soon.

This is another great interview and I'm grateful for the time of all the people involved in helping to promote Bowen Technique.

In this interview, we discuss how Ron found his way from electrical engineering to Bowen Technique and the similarities between them, how he went on to develop his PASC - Practitioner Assessment Skills Courses and his approach to hormonal work through Bowen Technique that was pioneered by Trevor Rose.

Ron talks about what he finds important in assessment and treatment in Bowen, demonstrating how much a multi-disciplinary approach can add to the core work of Bowen, especially the application of kinesiology for assessment, and his interest in using radionics in his work.

He also shares with us his thoughts for where the practice of Bowen is going in the coming years and what he wants to continue with.

In this first interview, I talk with Michael Nixon-Livy, who has developed NST (Neurostructural Integration Technique) and the significant and important Osteospinal seminars that underpin his work. It was fascinating to hear about Michael's history and how his practice developed and was influenced by various fields in his early development.

We talk about some of the differences between classical Bowen and NST and where Michael feels the field of body work is going and what we should be looking towards over the next 10 years. We also chatted a little about his upcoming visit to the UK and Europe to teach his Osteospinal seminars this spring and summer.

Embarking on an expansive journey through the realms of Qigong and personal growth, my brother, Sai Calder, and I delve into the intricate fabric of Life Force Qigong, a practice deeply entwined with the essence of vitality and consciousness. Sai is set to lead an immersive retreat titled “Waking the 5 Elements Spirits: A Light of the Inner You” from September 2nd to 6th, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Snowdonia in the UK, at Trigonos. This venue promises an enriching experience with its stunning views, organic culinary offerings, and opportunities for lake swimming amidst the natural beauty. Sai’s journey with Qigong has been a lifelong expedition, beginning in his youth, influenced by various teachers and practices including yoga and meditation. This path has taken him across the globe, from the UK and Europe to India, Thailand, and eventually Bali, attracting many to the profound energetic practices he’s mastered. Sai describes Qigong as a life passion that offers holistic benefits, encompassing health, spiritual connection, and personal evolution. This commitment to Qigong, Sai notes, is akin to investing in a lifelong venture that continually enriches his life.

In this session we are talking about the following topics:

- Bens morning and night routines

- Having fluid responses to events and environments we interact with

- Timing of practices

- Being in harmony with environmental circadian cycles

- The sun is a big magnetron also shifting inside of us

- Looking at the direction you sleep, the shape of the room and home your in and house materials

- How the shapes of buildings influence us

- Biogeometry/Geopathic stress

- The body wears the shape the mind creates

- The meaning of Health ?

- Adaptation & the expansion of consciousness

- Imbalance is necessary

- Everything in the right proportion is a medicine everything in the wrong is a poison

- What are symptoms , illness and disease ? Spontaneous diseases and us manufacturing our own diseases

- Shadow/Unconscious and physiological condition , perception and physiology connection.

So as you can see Lachlan wasted no time getting right into some really interesting topics.

It was a real treat to be able to spend the whole show (what amounted to just over 30 minutes of talk time) going into a healthy level of detail on my practice, why I do it and what challenges and projects I have for the future.

It was great to be able to have some dedicated time to talk about the Crowdfunder campaign as well and our efforts to develop the business by making the space we have more versatile and open.

I also got to talk a little about a little known area of my professional training, my Geopathic Stress surveying and how it can be used ot help businesses and individuals to have a healthier home environment.
