Work with Tamsin

Slow hands, long pauses, and no talking unless you want to.

I trained in Bowen therapy in 2008 after it resolved a back issue that everything else hadn't. Since then I've added McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR) and Emotional Freedom Technique — but Bowen is still the heart of it.

I work from a quiet room at home in Riverton, an hour at a time, one person at a time. If you're not sure whether it's for you, ring me and ask.

What I offer

01

Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy is a deep and profoundly relaxing way to reset imbalances within the body. It is administered via rolling moves across the connective tissue (known as fascia) which can stimulate your body to release tension in tight tissues or strengthen area of weakness. It is gentle yet incredibly effective for people and animals alike and can quickly relieve pain and discomfort. Longer term, it can release soft tissue tension to allow bones to move back into their optimal alignment.

MSTR — McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release

Scars, small and large, are always created by traumatic events.. whether they are surgery, accident, injury etc. The scar has a different collagen pattern to normal tissue which can impede lymph and blood flow as well as movement of energy (or Chi) across the scar site. The dermis, epidermis, fascia, nerves and blood vessels have also been compromised. The scar also often holds emotional trauma. MSTR helps to gently release both physical and emotional restrictions.

EFT — Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT is a simple but powerful way of 'rewiring the brain'. It basically allows you to connect with the source of any emotional problem you have - whether anger, sadness/grief, jealousy, fear, shame, frustration etc. and release the charge associated with it, in a safe and effective way. This allows you to move beyond your stuck point and, not being caught up in the past, enables you to move forwards in life with lightness and optimism.

before

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a meridian tapping technique which is used to neutralize negative emotional responses to events or triggers. Such emotions can be, sometimes crippling, fear, anger, sadness or pain and there can be many triggers that cause these emotions to flare up, getting in the way of us living our best life. We are shaped by our past experiences and of course, this is what makes us such a diverse and colourful bunch of people. However, some of these past experiences are so strongly locked into our very being that every time there is a particular trigger, which could be something as seemingly innocuous as the sound of waves crashing, a car horn or a baby crying, it’s like we relive that powerfully intense emotional response over and over again. And let’s face it, who needs to relive past traumas over and over?!

during

EFT is a simple but clever technique that allows you to lock onto the memory behind the negative emotion and then release the emotional content.

after

After the EFT session, you still have the memory but you lose the emotional charge connected with it
