Desley Faulks – Entertainer, Bowen Therapist and Inspiring Educator

Desley is very well known in Australian Bowen circles as a “larger than life character and charismatic entertainer”. In this episode of the BowenBuzz we get to chat with Desley as she tells us how she got her start in Bowen Therapy and shares some tips on getting your Bowen business rocking and also some personal stories and a wonderful case study which changed the life of a young client.

In the show we mention BNI as a great way to get the word out about your business through word of mouth referrals. Desley and I are both members of local BNI chapters and recommend you check out this worldwide referral network as a potential way to grow your business.

I am sure you will be entertained listening to my chat with Desley Faulks.

Is It Fate, What do you Think?

In this episode I wonder of the origins of Bowen Therapy and how it has arrived at where it is today. I loosely quote a poem from the introduction of John Wilks and Isobel Knight’s excellent book on Bowen Therapy “Using the Bowen Technique to Address Complex and Common Conditions” and go on to contemplate what the consequences for Bowen Therapy has been depending on who it was that documented and shared his interpretation and perhaps how it may have been very different.

What would have been the outcome for what we know as Bowen Therapy if it had only been taught as a unit in a Osteopathy course or as a CPD for Chiropractors?

What did Tom Bowen see in Ossie Rentsch at that chance meeting in Adelaide?

Take a Breather with Janine Fletcher

Janine is an inspiring woman who has over many years developed programs to assist children in their learning and in their lives. Janine is an author, educator and Bowen Therapist.

As we will learn Janine has written 3 children’s books based on the principles of neuroplasticity, psychoneuroimmunology and mindfulness which although written with the child in mind, can also be applied to teenages and adults as well.

Take a Breather method used regularly has been shown to overcoming anxiety, improve vision and improved learning ability. For further information visit Janine’s website where you will also find information on the Take a Breather app and the resource Janine has developed for teachers to use in the classroom “This flexible resource focuses on enabling students to set goals, think positively, be reflective and deal effectively with everyday problems. Packed with well-illustrated student and teacher pages, clear objectives and guidelines for over twenty teaching sessions.
This latest teaching resource can be used to fit in with existing personal development programmes or can be used as a complete programme in its own right.”

Here is a link to the 3 books Janine has developed to complement what she calls the YAHOO program (You Always Have Other Options)

I was fascinated by what Janine had to say during our brief chat, I hope you enjoy it to and you can use some of the information she has to share.

In this episode of the Bowenbuzz we get to hear from Merry Cooper who is a lady who has been around the Bowen world for sometime. From a career in information technology in the very early days of computing Merry has travelled and lived in a number of countries and for the past 6 years finds herself in Singapore practicing Bowen therapy and co ordinating the training of Bowen therapists  in the early days of Bowen therapy training in Singapore. I enjoyed my chat with Merry and I think you will too.
