Bowen Therapy, Reflexology & Coaching Southend, Rosemary Cunningham

Bowen Therapy, Reflexology & Coaching Southend, Rosemary Cunningham I’ve been practicing as a complementary therapist since 1993 in Leigh-on-sea. I practice Bowen therapy, Reflexology & massage.

I am also a business and money coach for heart centred business women, many of whom are therapists, coaches and travel agents!

I’ve always loved working with babies and children and it’s coming back at the moment! I set my therapy business up that way, offering treatments for women wanting to have a baby (fertility was my speciality for many years)

I also helped lots of women through pregnancy, many phoned up only when they were over their due date and wanting to avoid induction or C-section.

Then I trained in baby massage and reflexology, taught both so parents had something to do when children were distressed.

Lately I’ve been doing a few more treatments again, something I love to do - message me if you want some help!

Thank you to my dear friend Courtney Smith for sharing this experience of working with me!

In this instance, Courtney is mum of a toddler and 8 months pregnant! We focussed on reflexology, which I have been practicing since 1993!

I do much less now, coaching is my main focus but I am here for Bowen therapy and reflexology, Australian Bush Flower essences and the occasional massage! I was full time for 25 years!

I think it shows, whatever we do, we bring a certain vibration to our coaching sessions treatments, whether they involve hands on or not!

“Rosemary is the type of therapist that listens to you and the rhythm of your body to understand what you need from your treatment that day.

It is never a one fits all conveyor belt treatment.

After my most recent treatment with rosemary I felt like I was walking on a soft carpet, cushioning each step and my body just relaxed (I didn’t even realise how tense I was). Even the weight of my heavily pregnant & toddler mum mental load lifted and gave me space to breathe.

I would highly recommend making space in the chaos to have a treatment with rosemary.”

Last night I did a pamper event and was struck how many of the women found their short Bowen therapy and reflexology treatments profoundly calming. Our lives are so busy and full of constant stimulation now, it’s a really unnatural way for us to live. Our nerves can continually be on edge, night and day, awake or asleep.

Apparently we are geared to live in small communities with just a couple of hundred people, that’s our natural state where we would cope the best.

Now in big towns, constantly being fed information about tragedies and fearful events on the other side of the world, our nervous systems are overloaded.

I feel fear in my body this week, I had to ask myself how much of it was mine and how much had I sponged from the collective. As usual, I felt about 30% was my own concerns, leaving a whopping 70% that wasn’t mine at all.

Breathing deeply, engaging my heart and handing back the 70% always serves me… along with the awareness that those fears just aren’t mine to deal with.

The women last night quickly melted under my hands, breathed slower and relaxed. Many want to come for more sessions. I’m in Leigh and work day and evenings! I’ll add my phone number in the comments below and please come and see me!

I’m been helping clients of all ages get off the ceiling since 1992!

Smelling aromas is good for your brain!

I heard recently that consciously smelling five aromas a day can help our brain stay functioning to an optimum.

I realised how little I stop and sniff so now I remember each day to smell the coffee, all the flowers I pass on my walks, I light incense and smell that too.

In Türkiye this week my friend had a lemon tree covered with fruit and some early neroli blossom in her garden. Even pruning the tree, the sap smelt of lemon. The whole tree is a feast for the senses!

The orange trees eminated a lovely soft aroma in the sun too. I fore thought it was a synthetic smell as it was so strong!

So do please stop and smell a few things each day. Your brain will thank you!

I’m doing short Bowen and reflexology treatments at this Mothers Day Pamper Evening at Little Heroes ASD support centre in Southend this Friday.

There are still places at the moment!

My therapy clients love it when I prescribe a daily nap because did you know, a twenty minute nap twice a week could be the best thing we can do for our business and our health?

Even a twenty minute nap helps your heart, emotions, your attention and memory and much more. A ninety minute nap can have the benefits of a full night’s sleep!

If need facts to take naps from an indulgence to a valuable part of your working week, here’s some research, from the fabulous Radio 4 programme “Just One Thing” with the late Dr Michael Mosely.

Are you a napper or is it an indulgence you don’t make time for?

My delicious one hour nap just now is why I have the concentration and focus to write this. At 2pm I was having a lull and I was useless!

It takes me half an hour to get back to speed afterwards but then I’m set for a productive rest of my day.

😌A nap can boost your thinking skills according to the University of Berkley. Nappers did better in tests and improved their capacity to learn later that day.
❤The health of your heart benefits from a nap as it’s the only time typically in each twenty four hours your cardiovascular system really calms down and gets a break. Fight and flight is dominant in the wake time but when resting the heart can recover from life’s pressures.
👨‍🔬Dr Sara Mednick from University of California found a nap gives us better memory, our emotions are more regulated, our attention is increased and we are less sleepy.
😊Anxiety and depression are better regulated when we are not sleep deprived and a nap can be a powerful habit just a couple of times a week.

In an Indian study, those who slept only five and a half hours a night got benefits from a thirty minute daytime nap that they didn’t get when they had an extra thirty minutes at night.

I know some find they are sleepier or groggy after a nap but it’s found that most of those studied benefitted.

Sometimes when we try something new, we create a powerful new habit to replace the old “pushing through” that we have been taught is the right way to work.

With a longer nap, of 60 -90 minutes, we enter REM sleep which shuts our frontal thinking lobe of the brain down for a while and helps us to process and connect new experiences.

It also helps us process what we have just done earlier in the day.

That’s why I’m now ready to share my learning from this morning, I feel I’ve absorbed it while my brain had a rather delicious break.

Do tell! Are you a napper? Is it something you build into your self-employed lifestyle? What does it do for you?

And I still treat a few clients for massage, Bowen therapy and reflexology in Leigh-on-sea so do message or phone me if you would like to see if I can help you! 07967 121167

Peaceful sleep is priceless… and Bowen and reflexology can really help.

This message came from a client who came for Bowen therapy for the first time.

“It’s so relaxing” were her words when she got up after 40 minutes of gentle Bowen which helps us calm, breathe deeper and seems to reboot our bodies and being in a powerful way.

I’ve seen it hundreds of times in people of all ages. Clients in their 70’s have said they have never relaxed so deeply before.

I encourage my clients to have four treatments, preferably a week apart. This helps us remember how it feels to let go, to breathe deeply and just stop.

One client, a GP once told me he was scared of stopping and relaxing in case he couldn’t let going again after his treatment.

He realised that slowing down was a superpower, it allowed him to breathe then do so much more in less time. The whole essence of less is more.

I’m now able to take clients with some health insurance companies which is very exciting!

Do message me if you would like to see if this is for you or a loved one!

I work in Leigh-on-sea evenings and daytimes.

I’ve just brushed up my Bowen, did 15 hours of training, a first aid course and rejoined BTPA, the Bowen Therapists Professional Association again!

So now if you have medical insurance, you may be able to claim back your Bowen treatments!

I was a member for maybe 15 years, I went to conferences, wrote for the newsletters and also ran our Essex regional Bowen therapists support group too.

I also did a lot of talks and demonstrations, sharing the magic of Bowen as widely as I could and treating everyone I could get my hands on!

I’ve rejoined partly as so many therapists have retired and a friend commented “Bowen therapists are a dying breed” and that just won’t do!

This spray is amazing for clearing heaviness and negativity…

I’ve sold so much over the years. Teachers were my biggest purchasers, especially when they had parents coming in to complain.

One used to spray over every chair in the room before the participants arrived and she said the meeting always went better than expected!
