Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feeling of peace, security and well-being. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Biofield Tuning (also known as “sound balancing”) is a therapy method that combines the power of sound and human biofield to help alleviate conditions such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, emotional overwhelm, digestive issues, adrenal fatigue and more.
Biofield Tuning is based on the premise that the human biofield – the energy field that surrounds and permeates our bodies – is inextricably connected with our conscious and subconscious mind, including all of our memories. All physical, mental and emotional disorders can be perceived as “dissonance” in our energy fields. Biofield Tuning is able to diminish and resolve this dissonance and in doing so, alleviate and even eradicate the corresponding physical, mental and/or emotional symptoms.
Bowenwork is a gentle form of bodywork that involves stretching the fascia that covers your muscles and organs in order to promote pain relief. These gentle manipulations stimulate the nerve endings that regulate muscle tension, thereby signaling the muscles to rebalance and relax. Bowen helps to remove blockages that prevent the free flow of energy in the body. When the body’s nervous system and energetic system are in balance, physical, emotional and mental functions are able to return to a healthy state.
Spasm and inflammation, normally healthy responses immediately after an injury, too often remain long after and become the problem. Bowenwork can directly relieve these symptoms through reducing sympathetically maintained muscle contraction and increased blood and lymph flow.

During Reiki treatment energy flows from the practitioner’s hands into the client. The client remains fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner places her/his hands on or near the client’s body in a series of positions. These include areas around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and the feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position. The whole treatment lasts between 45 and 90 minutes.
What one experiences during a Reiki treatment varies from person to person. However, deep relaxation is usually felt by everyone. In addition, many feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them. As the Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings a state of peace and well-being is experienced. Some drift off to sleep or report floating outside their bodies or have visions and other mystical experiences. At the end of the treatment, one feels refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook.
Reiki energy comes from the Higher Power, which exists on a higher dimension than the physical world we are familiar with. When viewed clairvoyantly, Reiki energy appears to come down from above and to enter the top of the practitioner’s head, after which it flows through the body and out the hands. It appears to flow this way because of our perspective. However, the true source of Reiki energy is within ourselves. This does not mean that we use our personal energy when we do Reiki, but that the energy is coming from a transcendental part of ourselves that is connected to an infinite supply of healing energy.
Reiki has had a positive effect on all forms of illness and negative conditions. This includes minor things like head or stomach aches, bee stings, colds, flu, tension and anxiety as well as serious illnesses like heart disease, cancer, leukemia, etc. The side effects of regular medical treatments can also be reduced or eliminated. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, post operative pain and depression as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time in the hospital. Stress reduction with some improvement in one’s physical and psychological condition is experienced by most.
No. If one has a medical or psychological condition, it is recommended that one see a licensed health care professional in addition to receiving Reiki treatments. Reiki energy works in harmony with all other forms of healing, including drugs, surgery, psychological care or any other method of alternative care and will improve the results.
Absolutely. Many pregnant women have received treatments with great benefit to them and their unborn child. It has also been used during childbirth. Pregnant women have also taken the Reiki training and received the Reiki attunement with beneficial results.
Babies love Reiki. It is very healthy for them. Do not worry about it being too strong. Reiki automatically adjusts to what the baby needs.
Animals love Reiki too. They seem to have a natural understanding of what Reiki is and its benefits. Once a pet has received a Reiki treatment, they will often let you know that they want more. Plants also respond well to Reiki.
Most of the time a person will feel relaxed and uplifted by a Reiki treatment. However, sometimes a person will have what is called a healing crisis. As a person’s vibration goes up, toxins that have been stored in the body will be released into the bloodstream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the system. When this happens, sometimes a person can get a headache or stomach ache or feel weak. If this happens, it is a good idea to drink more water, eat lighter meals and get more rest. The body is cleansing, as part of the healing process, so this is a good sign.
During a Biofield Tuning session, a client lies fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner activates a tuning fork and scans the biofield slowly, beginning from a distance. The practitioner is:
• feeling for resistance and turbulence in the client’s biofield
• listening for a change in the overtones and undertones of the tuning fork
When the practitioner encounters a turbulent area he/she continues to activate the tuning fork and hold it in that specific spot. Research suggests the body’s organizing intelligence uses the steady coherent vibrational frequency of the tuning fork to “tune” itself. In short order, the dissonance resolves and the sense of resistance gives way. This appears to correspond to the release of tension with the body. People relax and breathe more freely and the body enters into an increased flow state. As the biofield dissonance subsides, clients generally report feeling “lighter,” able to breathe more freely, and a diminishment or resolution of their symptoms.
Biofield Tuning is not advised for individuals who are extremely ill as it may create a strong healing response in the system. As the body releases tension, any toxins that have been held in constricted tissue are released which has the capacity to produce flu-like symptoms, exhaustion, waves of emotion, loose stools and in extreme cases (very rare) rashes and vomiting. Cancer, pregnancy, palliative care, and pacemakers are contraindicated in Biofield Tuning.
A series of three sessions is recommended to begin with, generally once a week. Very often issues can be resolved or greatly improved within three sessions, but there is no limit to how many sessions one can receive. Each session builds on the one before it; there are always deeper layers one can address.
Bowenwork consists of several series of gentle moves through light-weight clothing while the client lies on a massage table. Several minutes are allowed between moves to give the body time to respond.
The length of a session varies and depends primarily on what your body needs that day and what it can handle that day. When the body has absorbed about as much as it can handle for the session, there is no use in going beyond that point. Generally 45 minutes to a bit over 1 hour is needed. In some cases, sessions as short as 10 minutes is used for a “quick fix” or as long as 90 minutes or more may be needed to properly address what is happening in your body. The shorter the treatment time, the more specific and direct the Releases are to address a very particular issue to focus all of all the available resources of the body to a specific area or problem. A longer session doesn’t necessarily give better therapeutic results.
Bowenwork is completely safe and appropriate for everyone from newborns to the very elderly and frail. Highly trained athletes and pregnant women benefit equally, each according to need.
This is very dependent on the type of problem(s) you have. We recommend that you try to attend at least 2-3 sessions to feel the full benefits. Some people find relief after just one session however some problems that have been longstanding can take longer to address. Some people with chronic conditions use regular treatments to manage their symptoms. Many clients also carry on and have top up treatments as a kind of maintenance to help prevent problems recurring.
Bowen treatments are generally spaced on average 5-7 days apart unless there has been a re-injury or a completely new problem that needs addressing. The reason for this gap between treatments is that Bowen work carries on affecting the body over a number of days so it is important to give the body a chance to heal.
In most cases, some level of relief occurs during or within a few short hours after a session. Results can come within the first week after the session. Again, 3-5 sessions spaced about a week apart are sufficient for most issues. These few visits are still a fraction of the number of visits that people do while undergoing many other forms of care, and in the end there is a huge saving of both time and money. Bowen has a long and successful track record helping people with an incredibly vast assortment of problems and conditions.
Each individual’s response is different, however post – treatment reactions are not uncommon and can include tiredness, thirst, an increase in original symptoms, flu-like symptoms, stiffness, headaches. These reactions tend to be caused by the body initiating a healing response and are nothing to be worried about, it is important to drink plenty of water, do little walks every half hour as advised in the aftercare sheet, and return for treatment.
We advise that you should not have any other treatments i.e massage, acupuncture, chiropractic at least 5 days before and after your treatment, as this can affect the efficacy of the Bowen.
There are very few. They include:
Natasha is an amazing healer and teacher. She made me feel so welcome and grounded in her beautiful space. This is not your typical reiki session. Natasha has so many tools in her toolkit that she is deftly able to integrate and apply the right energy modalities for whatever is present in the moment. By the end of my session I was literally floating, and continue to feel positive shifts days later. Highly recommended!
What really brought me into Natasha’s office was chronic pain. Specifically, I had chronic pain in my right shoulder for years… I believe from past emotional baggage. Natasha addressed my discomfort during my first visit and I walked away feeling like my shoulder had open pathways for blood flow and rejuvenation. I've not felt pain since my first visit. She is the real deal.
I play viola for a living. While playing, it sits on your left shoulder. Liza’s use of Bowen Therapy removed a pain I have had for years. Just one of the aches I thought I had to live with for my “art” and it is GONE. I’ve done many other types of body work and Bowen Therapy is by far the best for me.
