Your symptoms are signals — but they’re not the whole picture.

What feels like a local issue (tight calves, sore shoulders, stiff neck) may actually be part of a larger pattern your body has been managing quietly for years.

Bowen Therapy aims to address the deeper systems:
• fascia
• muscle tension
• joint alignment
• nervous system balance
• compensation patterns

Because lasting change can happen when the whole body gets the memo — not just one part.

Spider plants are a fantastic addition to your home, not just for their beauty, but for their ability to purify the air. One spider plant can absorb up to 95% of harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and mold spores from a 200-square-foot area. This makes them incredibly effective at improving the air quality in your home, which can be beneficial for your respiratory health.

Having plants indoors also promotes a calming environment, which can help reduce stress and improve your overall mood. The process of caring for plants and spending time with them has been shown to lower anxiety and boost mental well-being. With so many benefits, adding houseplants to your living space is a simple and natural way to enhance your health.

Plants like the spider plant, along with other indoor greenery, improve your living environment by increasing humidity and reducing airborne toxins. Consider placing them in areas where you spend the most time, like your living room or bedroom, to help purify the air and create a healthier atmosphere. 🌱💧

Studies show that a loving hug or cuddle can have powerful emotional and physical benefits. Gentle, caring touch supports mood, reduces stress, and helps the body shift into a calmer state.

Emotional Well-Being
Hugging triggers the release of oxytocin often called the “bonding hormone” which promotes feelings of trust, safety, and connection. It also boosts serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters linked to improved mood and emotional balance. At the same time, physical touch helps lower cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, encouraging a sense of peace and relaxation.

Nervous System Support
Hugs activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping slow the heart rate, ease muscle tension, and promote a “rest and restore” state. This soothing response plays a meaningful role in easing feelings of anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

Immune Support
Because stress can weaken the immune system, reducing cortisol through positive touch may help the body stay more resilient. Some studies even suggest that people who receive regular social support including hugs tend to experience fewer or milder cold symptoms when exposed to common viruses.

A simple hug may seem small, but its impact on connection, comfort, and well-being is surprisingly powerful.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime session with Ossie and Elaine Rentsch — founders of Bowtech® and the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia.

Through questions submitted by delegates, Ossie and Elaine will share their experiences with Tom Bowen and reflect on the evolution of Bowtech® — from its humble beginnings in Geelong to its growth into a global technique taught in more than 30 countries.

Ossie was one of just six people permitted by Tom to observe his work, and it was under Tom’s supervision that Ossie meticulously documented each move, forming the foundation of the Bowtech® system we practice today.

This interactive session will be both a rare privilege and a profound reminder of the roots we share.

This is your chance to Ask Ossie or Elaine the burning question you have always wanted to know!

This time of year, it’s easy to get caught up chasing deals.

But the things that really matter — your health, your calm, your growth — aren’t found in a cart or a checkout.

Whether you’re receiving Bowen Therapy or learning to share it, taking time to care for yourself is always a wise investment.

Discover a natural way to support your body’s cleansing systems with everyday foods. Each organ works hard to filter, detoxify, and restore balance — and certain fruits and vegetables can help nourish these processes.

• Liver: Turmeric, beetroot, grapefruit, and carrots contain plant compounds that may assist the liver’s natural detox functions.
• Lungs: Garlic, key lime, pineapple, and ginger can support respiratory health and help the body manage environmental stress.
• Digestive tract: Green apple, cucumber, aloe vera, and fennel contribute to healthy digestion and hydration.
• Kidneys: Cucumber, celery, parsley, and lemon promote fluid balance and gentle filtration.
• Blood: Cranberries, pomegranate, orange, and ginger provide antioxidants that may help protect blood cells.
• Skin: Apple, beetroot, and carrots offer nutrients for overall skin wellness.

Simple dietary variety can make a difference — these foods can be added to smoothies, salads, or juices. Remember that a balanced diet, hydration, and sleep are essential for true cleansing from within. Educational only; not medical advice.

DID YOU KNOW?
Just a few minutes in the Wide-Legged Forward Fold (Prasarita Padottanasana) each day can do more for your body than you might think.

Most people stretch only when something hurts… but this simple yoga pose is one of those rare movements that works multiple areas at once — and the benefits add up fast.

When you fold forward and widen your stance, you strengthen and stretch the inner and back legs, activating muscles that usually stay tight from too much sitting. This alone can improve balance, mobility, and even the way you walk or stand.

At the same time, the pose gently decompresses the spine. That stretch through your back helps relieve mild backache, reduce stiffness, and release tension built up from long hours at a desk, driving, or simply carrying stress.

But the benefits don’t stop with your muscles.

This pose also tones the abdominal organs, which may support digestion and help your core feel more active and engaged. Because your head is below your heart, your nervous system receives a calming signal — helping to soothe the brain, quiet your thoughts, and lower stress levels.

In just a few minutes a day, you can loosen tightness, strengthen your foundation, and give your mind a reset — naturally.
