Testimonials
“I reached out to Miriam in the hope she may have been able to provide some relief to my baby who had colic. I had tried many other methods but none had been successful. To my absolute delight, after just one of Miriam’s sessions, I noticed a change in my son, who was much calmer and more relaxed. But what astounded me the most was how Miriam went above and beyond to help us… finding time in her busy schedule to fit us in and providing reassurance with every session. I appreciated Miriam’s craft and kindness greatly during those early months of my son’s life and intend to continue taking him as he grows to support his development.” Dakota, Gold Coast, Queensland
“I highly recommend Bowen therapy for lower back pain or any muscular or nerve related pain. The 1st treatment I had with Miriam was very gentle and relaxing. I noticed how after that 1st treatment, every muscle in my body felt so relaxed. Bowen has worked about 3 x quicker for me, than any other therapies, I have tried, with much longer lasting results. I had previously spent 3-4 years trying many other therapies, and am so glad that I have now discovered Bowen.” Justine, Gold Coast, Queensland
"I had never tried Bowen therapy before and I gave it a go with Miriam. I found the session very beneficial and Miriam gave me an exercise to do every day for my hips which is helping me very much. I found that the treatment targeted the whole body and I noticed the results after only 1 treatment. I just wish I lived in Tasmania so I could have a regular session with Miriam! I would highly recommend having a treatment with her." Yasmin, Western Australia
"After 25 years of trying various pain relief modalities such as chiropractic, osteopathic, kinesiology and massage I would unequivably recommend Bowen Therapy as a primary treatment option. I have suffered from scoliosis from the teen years as well as whip lash and lower back sciatica and lumbago and have found that not only does Bowen provide gentle pain relief it actually starts a process of healing within the body. One or two treatments are sufficient for me at a time and relief is immediate. I have two children and though initially reluctant to try Bowen they now ask me regularly for their Bowen treatment. Miriam Kaye provides a warm caring and professional environment for her wonderful treatments. After having Bowen treatments with Miriam for the past 5 years, I would highly recommend and do recommend her regularly to fellow pain or injury sufferers." Nathalie, Tasmania
"I have tried so many medical and natural therapies to help my sore neck and shoulders over the years that when I heard about Bowen Therapy, particularly Miriam’s Bowen for Everybody, I thought it was not going to be any different. My first session was nothing like I imagined...in fact I thought that not much had happened. Well that was until the next day when I felt every spot Miriam had touched! I would sit in the car after each treatment and notice I was pain free, a feeling I had not had in years! Miriam’s professional and caring manner compliments the treatment. A truly holistic approach." Angela, Tasmania
"I discovered Bowen Therapy five years ago when I had a frozen shoulder. It was the only thing that gave me any relief from that excruciating pain and allowed me to sleep. Since then every time I have any pain anywhere, I head back for a session. Miriam has helped me through many pains, from back pain to bad reaction to a thyroid medication and I am very happy to offer a testimonial to Bowen for Every Body particularly, and Bowen treatments in general. I look forward to my sessions and my body thanks me, so I in turn, thank you Miriam." Carol, Tasmania
"After two years with back pain and trying various treatments with no lasting effects, I discovered Miriam Kaye and Bowen therapy. After only one session I noticed an improvement in my lower back pain and with further treatments I can say there has been around an 80% improvement. Some days I don't even notice the discomfort in my back. It's amazing that such a gentle treatment can have such lasting benefits. Miriam discusses her treatment with you before each session in order to target specific problems and lets you know what she is doing and why. I now just have maintenance
treatments as and when needed and find this is all I need. Miriam is a great Bowen Therapist." Barbara, Tasmania
"With just 3 Bowen treatments, I am very pleased with the results. Big improvement with my balance and feel more energetic." Monica, Tasmania
"I have tried many modalities over the years, and have found Bowen Therapy to be my first choice in managing my injuries and pain.
I would recommend Miriam and Bowen Therapy as only a small number of treatments rectify most of my complaints, whereas other therapies would require more treatments = more money." Daniel, Tasmania
"My son is 8 years old and has always had difficulty with bed wetting. This has caused him and our family emotional stress and frustration and was effecting his school life. Bowen appealed to me as a gentle and non-invasive treatment option.
My son reacted positively from the very first treatment. We noticed an immediate difference in his ability to control his bladder, and also in his increasingly positive attitude after each treatment. Since completing the treatments he has continued to enjoy dry nights. This has increased his confidence at school and has in general made him a much more contented child.
Miriam explained each aspect of the treatments clearly, and I have developed great confidence in her abilities. Miriam’s treatment of my son has positively affected many aspects of our family life. I would recommend Miriam to any parent experiencing the same difficulties with their child." Sarah, Tasmania
"My (left) leg was locking, felt weaker than my right, and it sometimes felt as if an electric wire was touching down the length of my leg when I walked; also, sometimes my hip just didn’t feel right and I would occasionally feel some pain in it, but there wasn’t really anything consistent.
I was referred on to the Orthopaedic Surgeon by the doctor, and the orthopaedic took an x-ray, ultrasound and MRI of the leg, but even after doing that, he still couldn’t diagnose the problem.
I went to the chiropractor, and he did find that my hamstrings were tight, so he gave me an exercise to do. He also straightened my back, which did help my posture. What he did didn’t make a difference to my leg, though.
Next I went to Miriam, who did the Bowen. It was very quiet and peaceful in the room where she worked on me, in stark contrast to the chiropractor’s busy room and rushed environment. After the treatment, I was actually distributing my weight equally between my two legs, unlike before. Within the next few days I found my leg was just about back to normal, and the second session completed it for me." Jess, Tasmania
"Being too scared to go to a "bone cruncher", a friend told me about a gentle technique called Bowen Therapy. Searching through the Yellow Pages I found Miriam Kaye, a Bowen Therapist.
At my first appointment Miriam explained the technique and supplied me with an informative brochure, which answered any further questions I may have had.
I was nervous about my first session but was surprised at how gentle Bowen Therapy actually is.
I was equally amazed how quickly my body reacted and the different sensations which I experienced. There was no denying the changes my body went through days after a Bowen Therapy session! Now I can walk long distances in total comfort, where before I had constant pain.
I will without any hesitation follow-up with regular maintenance sessions of Bowen Therapy with Miriam, just to keep my body "tuned-up", and have already recommended Miriam to all my friends. After all, I spend hundreds of dollars on keeping my car serviced so why not my body? I know which one I want to have the longest and it is certainly cheaper by far!" Tamara, Tasmania
"I decided to give Bowen Therapy a try after reviewing the internet site.
I have been suffering with dreadful pain from sciatica. Previously I had been treated by acupuncturist and chiropractors. These treatments hadn't provided much relief and the procedures were painful to say the least.
I was absolutely stunned after having my Bowen treatment. My sciatica pain was almost alleviated immediately after being treated. Also the actual procedures were very pleasant (not painful at all).
An added benefit from the Bowen was that I had the best nights sleep in ages.
I found Miriam to be very sincere and genuinely interested in my health (not just there to make money to keep you coming back). I strongly urge anyone considering Bowen Therapy to book in immediately. You will wish you had done it ages ago!" Julie, Tasmania
"I have severe osteoarthritic degeneration, mostly in cervical & lumbar spine, shoulder (causing continual ‘nerve’ pain in elbow) and stenosis of hip (with severe nerve pain in groin &, most times, an inability to feel and move my leg).
I have had various treatments over the years to keep mobile, ranging from chiropractic to acupuncture, and various modes of massage & physiotherapy. All have helped somewhat, but only for a very short time, so that I was having to constantly have treatments, up to several per week.
The treatment was like nothing I had ever experienced before. It was gentle and calm, and so relaxing – I had never felt that relaxed before – and a marked contrast to the quick session of chiropractic bone crunching, and pounding of the massage therapists!
Following the session – a short drive of 20 minutes or so later – I stepped out of the car, and to my absolute amazement and disbelief, I found myself walking, with my full weight on both my legs (I had forgotten what that was like!). There was a total absence of hip pain, and I felt as if I had been given a new lease on life. It felt like my whole body was reset. In my nearly 40 years of chiropractic treatments, I have never felt such an immense relief, nor for so long a time. For me, it is an absolute miracle." Jill, Tasmania
"I have endured many years of neck and lower back pain from an injury sustained as a teenager. I had a diving accident where I hit my head and suffered concussion. I have tried quite a few therapies (mainly osteopathy) and found temporary relief over the years but basically I learned to put up with the pain reoccuring.
I read about Bowen and felt it might suit me, especially as I was more interested in gentle manipulation, definitely not cracking and clicking. I had 3 sessions with Miriam who worked on realigning my jaw, which surprise, surprise had been out of alignment for 30 years! After the first session I did have a headache over the next couple of days but it settled.
The therapy is unlike any other with a lot of resistance movements but gentle and relaxing. I can honestly say that my neck no longer feels stiff, I am able to rotate it further than ever. I am now pain free in my neck even though I work at a computer most days. I feel as if my muscles have relaxed and I also feel as if my feet are more firmly on the ground and everything feels aligned. I find I sleep better at night as well. I still have some lower back pain which comes and goes but now I know I can return to Miriam and have that looked at.
I found Miriam to be thoroughly professional and she happily explained the process which was totally new to me. I was also pleased that after the initial session Miriam forecast that 3 sessions would probably be what I needed for my neck problem and she was correct. I felt she was interested in providing the best treatment for me and not just interested in having another return customer on the books. I have already recommended Miriam's services to friends and would say that my experience has been both positive and beneficial." Jo, Tasmania
