“I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Tai at Whole Body & Skincare. I had an overuse sports injury bout 3 years ago that caused a great deal of pain from any exercise or even walking, sitting and laying down (diagnosis: trochanteric bursitis). My sports medicine specialist said I would probably not be able to run again, which led me to try out Bowen Therapy based on a friend’s recommendation. I was a bit of a skeptic at first, but after only a few weeks of therapy, I was able to start exercising and then after a few months I was able to run again. I now make sure to get regular Bowen tune-ups, which help keep me aligned and feeling really good. It’s still a mystery to me how such a gentle and passive therapy can yield so many benefits. I highly encourage all to make the leap of faith and try if for whatever ails you. I will always be a devout Bowen believer.”
Happily healed,

“I have suffered from knee pain and arthritis for years and have been to the doctor many times. The doctor advised me to stop running and take a larger dose of anti-inflammatories and pain relievers. The pain in my left knee had become constant and was making life unpleasant. Minimal activity was also resulting in increasingly common and uncomfortable swelling in and around my knee. I had spoken with Tai about my pain and she suggested the Bowen Technique. I had never heard of this treatment and had my doubts. During the beginning of the session I was skeptical because it did not seem like we were doing much. The best way I can describe the treatment is that the movements Tai performs are like plucking a harp string. About half-way through the session I felt a bubbling sensation in my left hamstring and the sensation of increased blood flow in my left leg. Tai told me that she felt tension in my hamstring and that may have caused an increased tension behind my knee and led to the symptoms and pain I was experiencing. The Bowen procedures Tai used released the tension in the back of my leg and my constant knee pain was gone. Since that session I have not required the pain relievers or anti-inflammatories and have been able to resume normal physical activity.”

“Tai’s understanding of human anatomy and physiology is deeper than any MD or DO I have gone to. Several years ago, I went to her with chronic pain in my left hip that kept me from running. Her application of Bowen techniques resolved my pain and I have been running pain-free ever since. Tai is constantly expanding her “tool kit” and now incorporates Bowen and CranioSacral therapy in my sessions. Over the years, she has resolved bunion and toe problems, sinus congestion, and shoulder, back, and knee pain for me. Tai is truly amazing!”

“I have to let you know that I ran a 10K over the weekend and for the first time I’m pain free. I know it’s because of you. Thank you so much!”
