Bowen Therapy
A merciful heart and "magic"
fingers
I was diagnosed with
rheumatoid arthritis when
I was 11, have had
numerous knee surgeries
since I was 13, had
another surgery a year and
a half ago and a set of
injection procedures
that left crippled, in
constant pain from what
was said to be a permanent
nerve disorder (& on 5
morphine a day to manage
it), and often using
crutches to walk at all.
My orthopedic doctor had
pretty much said that was
all he could do; venal
degeneration prohibited
total knee replacements
and they were liable to
make the nerve disorder
worse anyway.
A neurologist I saw
advised blocking
or severing certain nerves
in my legs to help me
manage the pain, but could
offer nothing beyond
that.
When I began to
see Cheryll, my Bowen
therapist, it wasn't
because I had any high
hopes of her helping me
at all. I only
hoped I wouldn't be
hurt. And I
probably only went to
her at all because a
close friend, tired of
seeing me hurt so
without any prospect of
relief, paid for me to
have my first three
sessions.
To my delight and
amazement, within six
sessions -- one a week
for six weeks -- I was
off morphine altogether.
Over the next year of
periodic, but not
constant treatments, I
suffered two injuries to
a knee that has no
cartilage left at all.
Each time, a single
Bowen treatment has
helped me manage the
pain and restore
mobility.
I still have
to be careful where my
knees are concerned, but
now the pain messages I
receive from my legs are
the "right" kind, the
kind that warn me
against a misstep.
When you hurt all the
time, pain loses its
good function in
preserving one from
danger or injury.
Bowen therapy made it
possible for me to walk
without crutches, manage
what was before
unmanageable pain, and
have a body with nerves
that work in a much,
much better fashion.
The chronic nerve disorder
I have acquired because
of all the procedures
done to my knees has subsided
by 95% with only an occasional,
brief flareup. The
venal degeneration in
my legs has stopped
its rapid progress. A
visit to my vein
specialist last March
measured returned circulation
of more than 50% in both
legs -- a "healing"
substantial enough that
he could not account
for it. My own sleep
patterns, interrupted
by the chronic pain for
so long, are now predictable,
natural, deep, restoring.
Last year I had two bouts
with pneumonia and the
rheumatoid factors in
my body attacked my lungs
for the first time.
A visit to Cheryll --
she of the merciful heart
and "magic"
fingers -- can clear
my bronchii faster than
any inhaler I've been
prescribed. Somehow,
the very gentle stimulation
of my autonomic nervous
system is doing the wonders
for me that "modern
medicine" with its
surgeries and drugs and
cauteries has been unable
to accomplish.
I am not alone in being
a happy recipient of a
slow, positive return
to a better general state
of health (even with the
"normal" setbacks
of small injuries and
illnesses) thanks to Bowen
therapy. I could
give you testimonials
from many others I've
sent Cheryll's way about
the relief they've experienced
from a wide variety of
physical and mental effects
that have plagued them
for a long, long time.
This web site offers
some more information
about the process:
www.bowentherapyorlando.com
Bowen treats the autonomic
nervous system to release
"stored toxins"
that have become bound
inside muscles, often
a result of either a physical
or emotional or psychological
trauma and worse where
all three coincide, and
to restore deep circulatory
and nervous pathways to
full efficiency.
When the body is working
efficiently at this unconscious
level, deep healing can
happen in a surpisingly
rapid fashion. Bowen
therapy is unique, extremely
gentle and remarkably
efficient. Many
who are treated for a
problem need only 3 or
4 or 6 sessions to restore
their body's function.
You'll find links at
www.bowentheraporlando.com that
will show you how to find
a Bowen therapist in your
area. While this
is a widely used treatment
modality in some countries,
it is only now developing
a wider base of understanding
and practice in the United
States. Read through
Cheryll's web site thoroughly
so that you can understand
this therapy prior to
finding an expert in it
to help you.
It is my prayer
that many would find the
healing I have
experienced from this
remarkable treatment
that combines gentle
touch, a caring and
merciful response to the
whole person, and
"magic" fingers.

To Whom It May Concern:
In April, I was given a gift certificate for Bowen. Not knowing what
Bowen
was, my first reaction was “0h no a white elephant gift.” How wrong
I was. Bowen is great!
Cheryl! Hillier, a certified Bowen specialist, has a God given gift
at gently working with the body.
Much is achieved through her
technique: relaxation, detoxification, and realignment of the body. I
have done a "180 turn” in my attitude, and I can recommend Bowen
without reservation.
It is better than massage and much more comforting than chiropractic.
Try it and expect to be blessed!
Sincerely,
M A J

Cheryll,
I
can't thank you enough for how much you've helped me to become well
again.
Our
world is so blessed to have you in it!
I'll
never forget what a kind and generous person you are.
Love
Always

My
Journey to Wellness
I was
diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in ‘November 2004. Over the
course of 4 weeks I went from being an active 26 year old to crawling
on my hands
and knees because I was too weak to walk This news was devastating to
my family.
I,
on the other hand was relieved that I was not losing my mind. My symptoms
included
dizziness, blurry vision, numbness and tingling, unsteady gait, and
immense pain. My
neurologist immediately placed me on a weekly intra-muscular injection
for the MS.
This medicine made me very sick and I was bedridden for at least 24hrs
afterwards.
I began to fall into a deep depression. This is no way for anyone to
live their life.
One
morning, I awoke after an inspirational and spiritual vision. It was
at that
very moment that I knew my purpose in life - to first heal myself and
then help others. I
discontinued use of any MS drug therapy and began to detoxify my body.
I began
weekly Bowen sessions with Cherylll Hillier around March 2005. After
beginning my
Bowen regimen, my symptoms began to slowly diminish and my energy levels
increased
I enrolled in school at the Florida College of’ Natural to become a
massage therapist.
Everything began to make sense. ‘The human body wants to be healthy.
We must learn
to nourish our mind; body, and spirit.
My
one year follow-up visit with the neurologist proved my healing with
natural health. The MRI scans showed a decrease in brain lesion size
and a total recovery in the
Cl and C2 vertebrae without scarring! I attribute my recovery to my
faith, a positive
attitude, a holistic approach to health, and Bowen Therapy.
I am thrilled to report that my symptoms have completely disappeared
and I feel
stronger now than ever before. It truly is miraculous.
Please feel free
to contact me if
you know of someone with MS who is ready to learn natural healing.
To Your Health, Janet B

Around 4 years ago,
my 16 year old daughter was suffering from severe
headaches and
terrible IBS. Her physician at the time was a medical doctor who
also specialized in alternative medicines. He included in her treatment
some sessions with Bowen Therapy. We had already gone through so
much - hospital visits, medical tests, acupuncture, chiropractics.
So although Bowen was completely foreign to us, we were willing
to try.
Our first visit with
Cheryl was such as success. My daughter found some relief from her
symptoms right away. Her pain was lessened and her anxiety reduced.
Within a few short visits, her Bowen treatments contributed to her
full recovery. And now she uses Bowen Therapy as a means of distressing
and relaxing.
Because my daughter
had such success, I decided to try Bowen for myself. I am a healthy
54 year old woman who had no idea how much tension and stress and
aches and pains were actually in my body until they were released
by Bowen Therapy. I found it better than a massage !
Then I began having
trouble with my right knee. Whenever I would bend it and put pressure
on it, I would experience a searing, hot pain. I decided to go to
Cheryll first to see what she could do. And with one treatment, the
pain was eliminated and has not returned in over 2 years. Remarkable.
I am a huge advocate
of Bowen Therapy. It is remains a mystery to me but that doesn’t
matter. It works.
And I am a HUGE fan
of Cheryl. She is gentle and calm. She listens. And she is so in
tune with the human body. Plus she is just a terrific person.
With pleasure,
Cindy M.
