Susan Marte is many people; she is an expat American, an agronomist, an artist, a poet and a Bowen therapist. I had an engaging chat with Susan about life, work and Bowen therapy where Susan mentions that “life is not linear, it is circular”. We also get to hear about Susan’s artistic side and the set of Oracle cards she has developed. Part way through the conversation Susan mentions the cards and the only one she actually mentioned by name was the “Sandbar” card. Later I ask if I could shuffle the deck and pick a card she would read it. Out of the 45 cards I happen to pick the one card she had previously mentioned. When Susan read the story and message on the card it seemed to incredibly encapsulate the conversation we had just heard. What do you think?

In this episode we get to hear from Margaret Spicer who is considered one of the preeminent Bowen instructors in the world. Margaret tells the story of her journey from big pharma to natural medicine and Bowen therapy.

After graduating as a pharmacist and working in the retail area with the public and then inside the industry in the area of marketing, Margaret is offered a lucrative role in New York she experiences a Damascus moment which changed her life.

Many Bowen therapists around the world have participated in Margaret and Anne Schubert’s Mind Body Medicine. Margaret explains the genisis of its development and the principals of this work. You will come to hear that Margaret is a deep thinker and I am sure you will enjoy her explainations and thoughts on natural medicine. We are very fortunate to have people like Margaret in our Bowen community.

In this episode we get to meet Joanne Clarke from Destiny Pursuits.

Joanne has a past in the corporate arena however is now a business coach, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) practitioner and master practitioner trainer.

Joanne is a very engaging speaker and explores the value of language in health and the art of listening and understanding the meaning of the code people use to express their beliefs about their health. Through being able to ‘decode’ the words people use the health practitioner can get a clearer understanding of the sometimes unconscious limiting or potentially unhealthy beliefs people may have. She also explains how we as health professionals may both positively and negatively influence the health outcomes of our clients depending on the language we use.

“We need to be careful that the description does not become the prescription”

Joanne is able to draw a link between the development of NLP and that of Bowen therapy. I am sure you will really enjoy our conversation.
