A quick rundown of where I was when I first met Brigid.
I had experienced breast cancer, had a mastectomy along with removal of my underarm lymph nodes. The tremor in my hand (on the side of the lymphectomy) was quite noticeable and my writing was very shaky looking.
“Brigid’s encouragement that I “keep moving” when lymph build-up occurs, has proven to be invaluable .. this is on an emotional and physical level.
My confidence levels have also risen and I no longer wait for convenient breaks in conversations to excuse myself if the topic becomes mundane and trying to explain what I’m thinking and why is not essential to me anymore. I’m happy to be me.
I can also drop whatever I am doing because I no longer feel I have to finish things there and then. A lot of things don’t matter if they never get done that day .. or the next. ..
and then walk until my body conveniently processes it all away. Brilliant.
“Also, Brigid introduced me to Dr Joe Dispenza’s works (books, videos and CDs) on the power of the mind .. and for this I am very grateful.
“But above everything is Brigid’s encouragement and insistence when I thank her for all she has done for me .. and she tells me that it is not she who has done it, but it is I who has done it. I have found this to be very powerful and self-affirming.”
I was sick of taking pain relief & anti inflammatory tablets & not getting much relief. My wife suggested I try Bowen Therapy with Brigid.
Even after the 1st treatment I felt some relief. I have now had several treatments & for the 1st time in years I am pain free.
I also suffer from sleep apnea & don’t even use my machine anymore. I wake up feeling great. Thank you Brigid for giving me a pain free body & my life back.
I would like to thank you for recent treatments (of Bowen Therapy).
I came to you with chronic migraine with aura, I had been treated for 2 years previously by a GP with prescription drugs. This did not reduce the sometimes twice weekly occurrence of the attacks. I was never sure if the drugs actually reduced the intensity of the aura.
I decided to try Bowen, I found Brigid and made an appointment. The morning of the appointment I had the most horrible attack. I called and she saw me right away.
My pain was gone within 10 minutes! Amazing. After several treatments I went months without any attacks.
Brigid rocks!
My friend had warned me not to expect a lot of manoeuvres like Physiotherapy. Bowen Therapy uses much more gentle manoeuvres. But it works.I was immediately relieved of the sharp pain in my back and by the next day I had no pain at all.
I am not very knowledgeable of these types of therapies but I can say I now believe in the Bowen Therapy. Brigid has visited me for other muscular problems since and each time I have received immediate relief.
The problems have not reoccurred.
Unlike physio where you have to keep going back for treatment, Bowen therapy seems to alleviate the problem almost immediately. One session is usually all you need.I would certainly strongly recommend Brigid and Bowen Therapy and have actually recommended her to friends who have also found relief from their problems.
“I went to Brigid to ask for treatment for grief. The only way to describe how I felt on my first visit is that I felt an internal ’emotional heaviness’.
I now feel an emotional lightness and better able to work through the grief instead of feeling stuck. (This was after 3 Bowen Treatments)
I am amazed and would not hesitate to recommend Bowen Therapy to anyone.”
There are not many physicians I trust. With a non-pathology outlook it is difficult to find someone to work with you. Most ‘experts’ try to steer you toward their ideals and convince you to do it their way.
As an intuitive, I can say without question that Brigid is not that kind of healer/teacher. Sometimes there’s more going on than meets the eye and you need someone who can talk to you in a language that makes sense. Whatever your situation, Brigid is honest, supportive, practical and definitely value for money.
I know Brigid cares about people, especially the ones that come for help. I trust that she look after them no matter what.
And I appreciate the way I was handed back the power/responsibility to make informed choices about how they want to live while simultaneously offering to support new ways of being on the planet – diet, ideas, practices…
It’s important not just to have expertise but to be interested and guided not just by the client but by the alchemy between the practitioner and the client.
My name is Darren Towie and I am 42 years old.
When I first met Brigid I was suffering from years of back pain that the chiropractor could not fix over years of twice weekly visits, also I have Atrial Fibrillation which progressed to cardiomyopathy. I was employed as a machine operator (earthmoving) for nearly all my life but had to throw it in due to my AF.
Last September of 2014 I went to hospital for a possible bone infection in my finger. While I was there I told the doctor about my AF because I could feel my heart playing up , so he checked my heart rate and it was at 155bpm and he said I was close to having a heart attack. In Emergency I had blood taken, tests, X-rays and a lot of questions they told me that I had cardiomyopathy. Which meant my heart was twice its normal size (big and floppy) and was only pumping at 11% .
I had to stop working and start taking 8 different medications to stay alive, that made things a bit hard financially and physically and mentally!
Even though the medication slowed my heart rate down from time to time, I was having a lot of very bad side affects, such as dizziness, lack of concentration, memory loss, very indecisive and no energy among other things! I am looking at a 18 month to 2 year wait for an operation, depending on how bad the cardiologist thinks I need it!
At first the cardiologist told me he was going to do a procedure called an Ablation on my heart. I thought that sounded ok, but after seeing him 4 months later he said he might put a pacemaker and a defibrillator in me instead .
I thought at my age I don’t want a pacemaker or a defibrillator put in me . You have to get the battery replaced every couple of years or so depending on how many times you have to use the defibrillator. With all the doctors that I have dealt with over the last 12 months and all the times they have changed my meds and the different things they have been telling me , they don’t really know whats going on.
So I’ve decided to take my healing process into my own hands, because no one knows you better than you!
With help from like minded people such as Brigid, my Bowen and Energy healer and ‘go to’ person for anything I need help with, who has trained me up in Bowen Therapy to use on myself and a lot of other healthy alternatives to healing myself, absolute amazing wonderful person to have met and to know. I can’t say enough about this great lady and what she has done for me over the years, with all the ‘none-charged’ extra info, treatment and advice, just for the love of her work and she is happy as long as you are, then you know its not about the money ! You get way more than you pay for and I’m truly grateful for that!
Now nearly 12 months down the track, from changing my lifestyle, diet and adding meditation, yoga and exercise, work done on me by Brigid and the training to heal myself. I’m down to 2 pharmaceutical medications. I’m back in normal rhythm more times than I’ve been in a long time and should be off the rest of my meds in a couple of months .
I feel great and looks like there is no operation needed!
Big Thanks to Brigid’s support, my family and friends! I have done a lot but would have done it a lot harder and longer without you beautiful people! With what I’ve learnt and am still learning every day I will be able to help others in the future!
This Journey has made me realise that life can be so much better than what you might think it can be!
So never give up , say strong and you can do anything you put your mind to!
Much Love & Thanks !
Darren.
