Eleven years have passed since I certified as a Bowen Therapist and it still excites me to see what it can help your body do.

Good information here.

The tensor fascia latae (TFL) muscle is the consummate trouble-maker. It often becomes a problem as a consequence of too much sitting. It's prone to adhesion to the quads, gluteus medius, and sartorius, leading to weakness of the hip flexors, gluteus maximus and others. It can cause the hip and knee to buckle in, promoting poor patellar tracking and flat feet. And of course, it can create very tight and painful IT bands -- once upon a time known as the fascia latae. They're a great area to roll out on a regular basis. Here's a quick video on that. https://bdme.ch/5Nrg

I have been singing this every day as I take Ace for a walk and around the house. Annie really likes the tune and sings along

In an effort to keep important information flowing to the people I care about, it has been a lot of heavy stuff. Tell me something good....❤️

Please lets be responsible, we can stop the virus!

Thanks Sarah Alvarado for the following post -

Perspective. We all need to take responsibility for our world to heal. It will end, if we all follow what’s being told.

~ It’s from a teacher in China reflecting on lock down for 7 weeks....

We are just finishing our 7th week of E-Learning, seven weeks of being mainly housebound and seven weeks of uncertainty. We are healthy, we are happy, and we are humbled.

We are allowed to move around freely now with a green QR code that we show when we get our temperature taken. You get your temperature taken everywhere, and it's just become part of the routine.

Most restaurants and shopping centres are now open, and life is coming back to our city.

As we watch the rest of the world begin their time inside; here are some of my reflections on the last seven weeks:

1. Accept that you have no control over the situation. Let go of any thoughts of trying to plan too much for the next month or two. Things change so fast. Don't be angry and annoyed at the system. Anxiety goes down, and you make the best of the situation - whatever that might be for you. Accept that this is what it is and things will get easier.

2. Try not to listen to/read/watch too much media. It WILL drive you crazy. There is a thing as too much!

3. The sense of community I have felt during this time is incredible. I could choose who I wanted to spend my energy on - who I wanted to call, message and connect with and found the quality of my relationships has improved.

4. Appreciate this enforced downtime. When do you ever have time like this? I will miss it when we go back to the fast-paced speed of the 'real world'.

5. Time goes fast. I still haven't picked up the ukelele I planned to learn, and there are box set TV shows I haven't watched yet.

6. As a teacher, the relationships I have built with my students have only continued to grow. I have loved seeing how independent they are; filming themselves to respond to tasks while also learning essential life skills such as balance, risk-taking and problem-solving, that even we as adults are still learning.

7. You learn to appreciate the little things; sunshine through the window, flowers blossoming and being able to enjoy a coffee in a cafe.

To those just beginning this journey, You will get through it. Listen to what you are told, follow the rules and look out for each other. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

A client/friend sent me this today. Why didn't we listen to Bill Gates in 2015??

I have a very limited supply of Vitamin C powder that has just arrived. 200 servings per container, 2000mg per serving/scoop.
As you will see in the article below Vitamin C boosts immunity among many other benefits.
PM me if you would like me to put a container at the door for pickup, delivery may also be an option if you are local to me.
B-Well, Melanye

It is with a heavy heart that I have to make the decision to temporarily close B-Well Bowenworks after work on March 19th until it is safe for everyone to resume normal activities.
My nature is to want to help people, with "social distancing" being key to the prevention of spreading the virus, and Bowen Therapy being a hands on therapy this is simply not possible. This is not an easy decision for me aside from Bowen being my livelihood it is also my passion.
I have the BEST clients in the whole wide world. I believe the best way for me to "help" at this time is to close the doors until the all clear is given.
*If you have an existing appointment booked, and there are many, I will be in touch by phone to move your appointment to a future date.
Also note I have a good stock of product to help keep your immunity strong and or fight the virus if you come into contact. These can be picked up from the front door with prior arrangement or possibly dropped off at yours if you are in isolation.
Please feel free to keep in contact..... I will miss you.

A sample Fasting technique ..."20 and 4" :

Day 1-5(Monday to Friday, weekends go back to normal) daily routine.....

* 7am-3pm : no food, just fluids... drink
3-6 scoops "Innotech Fasting Days drink mix" daily(1-2 scoops in large water bottle with large slice of lemon, ice, re-fill as needed), 1-2 herbal tea, 1 black coffee(optional ), 1 sparkling water, 2-3 cups plain water with lemon

3pm - 7pm: Food(eating window)...

*3pm... 10 salted almonds , or a low carb protein bar, water

*6pm ish ....have a NaturePro protein shake with lots of chia and MCT oil while preparing dinner. (Healthy fat, fibre, protein)
Dinner : protein of choice, "above ground veggies", coleslaw, salad(with blue cheese, or olive oil and vinegar), AND use at least 1 teaspoon Red Mill or pink sea salt with dinner(this is very important to meet your sodium needs).

7pm ish... STOP Eating until 3 pm next day, if hungry have another "Innotech Fasting Days drink mix " which is specifically designed as a balanced drink while in your fasting hours to avoid 3 key points...
1)Avoid hunger(by naturaly addressing over 30 nutritional requirements with NO stimulants)
2) Avoid loss of muscle mass and bone density(contains minerals at their proper dosages and the related electrolytes to help absorb them, contains a wide range of high quality amino acids to support muscle tone and strength)
3) Avoid spiking of Insulin (Fasting Days drink mix, successfully used daily by thousands of N.Americans, is net calorie free, will not spike insulin, and along with intermittent fasting is very effective with healthy SUSTAINABLE weight loss, energy, muscle tone, skin tone, mental clarity, better sleep, better mood, reduced meds over time, normalizing of blood pressure, Cardio fitness, reduces time with weekly food preparation so more time to yourself, reduces plastic food packaging so better for environment, saves money $$!! $1.30 for a scoop of it into water for lunch rather than $15 at a restaurant! So start planning to celebrate by going on a vacation with all the money you saved with your new healthy YOU ! )
