25.01.2022 First treatment done for the year. Really nice way to start treating with the sweetest older hound. He did give me a bit of a grumble when I found his sore spot but I never felt that it would go any further. In those cases when the treatment is uncomfortable for my animal clients some of the tricks I use are backing off on the pressure I use, I apply a smaller bowen move and do more moves, slow down the move to give them the time to relax into the treatment, use my red light... torch in the area, plus reward him with a good scratch/stroke when they do allow me to treat that area. One thing I try to not do is avoid the area all together, one it doesnt make the area any better and they learn that growling (in dogs) and biting and kicking (in horses) is acceptable and it gets their desirable result... to not be touched. I always go into treatments with the belief that you must work with them and you can not force the treatment on the animal. I hope everyone had a good years celebration and all the best for the new year, Christine See more

24.01.2022 Looking forward to be able to bring this into my treatments

23.01.2022 Please don't risk your hounds this summer.

22.01.2022 I occasionally see horses with Kissing Spine

22.01.2022 People ask me how does bowen therapist and photographer fit together as a business. This is how, as a photographer I see lots of horses, as a bowen therapist you can read the signs. It is not about judging the horse or rider it is about understanding.

22.01.2022 Well it has only taken me 2 years to replace my broken red light torch. Finally arrived in the mail yesterday. Just need to brush up on equine side and learn the human therapy

21.01.2022 Hi All, we are looking for some paid rail crew for our event on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th. If you are interested please message the page or email [email protected]

21.01.2022 One of the special parts of my work (if you can call it that) is I get to help these special dogs. Seeing the relationship between the dogs and the handlers is really incredible.

21.01.2022 Glorious day to be out and about treating. I love my job

21.01.2022 Custom made library bags

19.01.2022 Is your lack of confidence in yourself affecting how you ride or preventing you from doing what you want to do with your horse? Would you like to gain confidence in your equestrian life or in the other parts of your life? Feel free to send me a message if you like to know more, ... Hope you have a good weekend Christine See more

19.01.2022 Canine treatments today... I always try to keep the treatment relaxing for my hounds. Treat them at their home on their bed and allows them to relax, release those sore spots and get the full benefit from the treatment. Miss Tana wasnt THIS chilled when we first started but now I am not allowed to stop.

19.01.2022 Please dont risk your hounds this summer.

17.01.2022 My clients come in all shapes and sizes. This big boy made me feel quite small (yes I know I am not particular tall) Thankfully he was an absolute gentlemen to treat.

17.01.2022 Just goes to show that Bowen Therapy can be help to relive aches and pains on the very young and very wise. Contact me if you would like to experience a relaxing bowen treatment. Thank you Bronson for sharing (Bronson taught me my human bowen)

17.01.2022 We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids arent old enough, and wel...l be more content when they are. After that, were frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our partner gets his or her act together when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we retire. The truth is, theres no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. Its best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. A quote comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one. So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until youve had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you dont need money, Love like youve never been hurt, And dance like no ones watching. Copyright 1997 Crystal Boyd Artwork: Sarah Treanor

15.01.2022 Have you ever noticed the more you think or say, I don't have enough money or I don't have enough time, the less money and time you seem to have? The more you focus on how stressed or overwhelmed you are, the more stressed and overwhelmed you feel and less productive you are? Would you like to change these thought pattern and be able to reframes these patterns?

15.01.2022 As part of your treatment I will use a red light torch (photonic therapy) and Reiki as complimentry therapies to Bowen. If you would like to experience Bowen plus Red light therapy and Reiki feel free to contact me.

14.01.2022 Hot off the printer... New vouchers just in time for Christmas. If you are still struggling for that present for someone that has everything or for someone that spends all their time looking after everyone else and rarely themselves. A voucher for a Bowen treatment may be perfect. Valid for 3 years.

14.01.2022 RU OK? Sometimes a bowen treatment isnt just about the physical treatment, sometimes it is about the conversation that brings about the greatest healing. I always have a kind ear to listen with, a open mind that will not judge you or your situation and time to hold space for you to find your own word to express how you are feeling. It is your story!

14.01.2022 Different from my normal paddock scenery but the view is still pretty good. One of the advantages of treating at peoples homes is you find these spots

13.01.2022 ***Equine Treatments*** Horse bowen therapy is where I started on this amazing journey, I have had some amazing encounters treating horses and listening to their stories. I have treated racehorses, eventers, showjumpers, dressage horses, barrel racers, campdrafters, stallions at stud and then their brood mares. I treated foals through to newly started youngsters, those who are having a change of career, high level competitive horses, pleasure mounts, companion paddock ponies... and of course our retirees. All of these horses come in different shapes and sizes. They all have their quirks and niggles. One thing I learnt is to not judge what your horse needs by experience alone, go in with a clear mind and treat what I feel, ask lots of questions and get YOUR solutions not just the solutions that worked for the last horse with similar symptoms or similar story. My number belief is "Do what is right for you" See more

13.01.2022 Brunswick Show is over for another year time to get back into treating!!! If you would like a Horse, Hound or a treatment for yourself feel free to send me a message to organize a treatment time

13.01.2022 Super happy for Sarah and Shay winning the Equestrian in the Park Grand Prix class, all your hard work certainly paying off well deserved win. For those who are worry about having a treatment "too close" to an event, I treated Shay on Thursday and he competed on Saturday.

12.01.2022 WANTED: Old horse stuff... Leather saddles, horse shoes, stock whips, Barcoo bridles, split reins etc. Wanted by local country music club. Decorative purposes only more character the better.

08.01.2022 Better late than never right?! Entries for the 2019 City of Busselton Winter Jumping Festival are now live on www.globalentriesonline.com.au from 9am today. Please remember yards are limited. Text to confirm prior to booking online.

08.01.2022 It is so nice to get feedback like this. Human treatments available Monday to Friday, no need to travel I come to you :)

08.01.2022 Busselton Showjumping festival is now happening in 12th and 13th of September

07.01.2022 We are back into full swing of treatments this week. I will be in the Busselton area on Tuesday (14th). If you would like a treatment (in busselton or elsewhere) feel free to send me a message or give me a call.

07.01.2022 As the show season comes to a end and horses start their holidays now is the time to get Bowen treatment. The end of season treatment can be one of the most beneficial we can do. A treatment now helps muscle release after a long competition season and give time for any injuries to heal. Equine and canine treatments available Monday to Friday. Feel free to message me to discuss your treatment needs.

07.01.2022 After a bit of a slow start to 2019 we are back treating. Human, horse and hound treatments available around the southwest. I look forward to seeing you in the months to come, cheers Christine

06.01.2022 Taking contact vs. encouraging contact. This is a hard pill for many riders to swallow, but something so incredibly important. Manolo Mendez once said, "extend... the neck shorten the body" yet many riders shorten the neck by taking/pulling in search of contact as opposed to allowing the horse to reach for the contact themselves. When a rider pulls and takes contact, not only does the neck shorten but youve now effectively taken away the stretch of the horse. They instead curl back and create tension, blocking the natural flow of energy and movement to create a stagnated and broken gait. A horse who is allowed to reach and stretch into the contact is able to properly utilize the nuchal ligament and pull apart the dorsal spinous processes - preventing kissing spine and opening the angle of the cervical vertebrae. A relaxed neck with rounded topline and mobility of all five of the joints in the hind allow the horse to move in rhythm, balance and correctness. Horses will not naturally go about with their neck sucked in, so why ride them in this manner?

05.01.2022 I am available for treatments!!! With some restriction and precautions. The health and safety of my clients and my family are extremely important me at this crazy time. However as a one-man-band sole-operator small business and with only treating one horse, dog or person at a time it allows me to keep my doors open and to keep my micro business ticking along. For all clients, if you have travelled overseas, been in contacted with someone who has been overseas, tested positiv...e or waiting for results or have any cold and flu symptoms PLEASE give me a call/message and we can rebook once you have done your 14 days self isolation period. This also applies for anyone with a COLD, FLU and any other contagious ailments. This is due to a close family member having a compromised immune system. I CANNOT afford to take your cold home with me! To avoid a cancellation fee please contact me prior to the appointment time. To protect us both I will be using hand sanitising as I get out of my car and when I return to my car. I will be utilising my card payment system for as many treatments as possible to reduce cash handling. I would appreciate it if there is only the essential people present at the time of treatments. For EQUINE clients I will continuing to treat your horses as normal the only differences is I would prefer for your horse to be either be tied up, in a stable or small yard if possible. You are welcome to stay with them but I ask you to not be too close whilst I am doing the head and neck work. For CANINE clients please have a collar and lead on your dog. I will treat on the ground as normal and will encourage your dog to lie or sit down. For HUMAN clients I will not be taking any new patients at this time. For my regular clients as a precaution I have changed the setup of my table. I will continue to use the single use head and face towels however I will not be using the large sheet and will be using disinfection wipes on the table after each treatment. I am really sorry about the really long post... to thank you for reading to the end, ask for your COVID discount at your next treatment. Please remember if you can please stay home and support local businesses where possible. Cheers Christine
