Most people think fat is just something you can see.
But the most dangerous fat in the body is often the one you can’t.
Visceral fat is the deep fat that wraps around your organs — liver, pancreas, intestines.
And it behaves very differently from the fat under the skin.
This type of fat is metabolically active.
It releases inflammatory compounds, disrupts hormones, and is strongly linked to:
• Insulin resistance
• Blood sugar dysregulation
• Fatty liver
• Chronic inflammation
• Increased cardiovascular risk
Here’s the part that surprises most people
You do not need to be overweight to have high visceral fat.
Many “normal-weight” people carry excess visceral fat due to:
• Chronic stress (cortisol)
• Poor digestion and slow bowel transit
• Blood sugar instability
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Long-term inflammation
And unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat is notoriously difficult to shift with diet alone.
In fact, extreme calorie restriction can sometimes make the problem worse by driving stress hormones higher.
One of the most overlooked contributors is digestive stagnation — slow bowel movement, poor gut signalling, and tension through the lower back and abdominal region. When digestion is sluggish, metabolic waste and inflammatory signalling increase… creating the perfect environment for visceral fat to persist.
That’s why approaches that:
• Improve digestion and bowel movement
• Reduce lower back and abdominal tension
• Support circulation and metabolic signalling
can play a meaningful role in addressing visceral fat at its root — not just cosmetically.

Healing happens at many levels. Our body is telling us when we are out of balance, and because we have not learned to 'translate' what each part of our body is telling us, we tend to carry on. Often to the point of breakdown.
If it was our car that made funny noises or isn't performing as usual, we take it straight to the garage to have it checked out.
Not so with our bodies though....
One of the first books I read on the subject of translating body-language was by Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life.
Through her own journey from traumas and severe health challenges, and from learning she was able to reversing cancer.
She learned what her body was telling her.
The key premise of the book is that because the mind and body are connected, illnesses of the body somehow have their root causes in emotional and spiritual aspects of the mind and its beliefs and thought processes.
While modern medicine concerns itself with eliminating symptoms of disease in the body, using tools such as chemotherapy and other pharmaceutical drugs and various surgical techniques, Hay's approach is to identify and work to resolve what she perceives as the mental root causes of disease.
Louise Hay believes that the causes of "dis-ease" include stress and unhealthy thought patterns and beliefs about oneself, and postulates that the most fundamental way to effect positive change in the body is to change the way we think, using tools such as "mirror work" and affirmations.
At the end of the book, a separate section lists numerous illnesses and various emotional thought patterns that Hay believes causes them; this was derived from Hay's earlier book, Heal Your Body, which had its origins in a pamphlet she published in 1979.

🌿 My Bowen Journey — How It All Began
I know what it feels like when your body hurts and nobody can tell you why.
My back troubles began when I was only 18. The pain was so intense that specialists put me on painkillers, antidepressants, and sleeping pills — and told me to “learn to live with it.” They even warned that I might end up in a wheelchair in my early 20s. After countless tests, and a very thick medical file, the conclusion was always the same:
“We can’t find anything wrong.”
Yet I could barely function.
My first sign of hope came when my mum took me to a chiropractor. After just three sessions, the pain disappeared. It felt like magic.
But in my late twenties, the pain returned — worse than ever. Chiropractic care now made my spine hypermobile. Other therapies helped temporarily but nothing lasted. I was determined to keep searching.
Then Bowen Technique found me.
I had my very first Bowen session just before flying to the USA for a seminar. The long flight was agony — I arrived feeling like “the crooked man” from the nursery rhyme. Then, by a stroke of fate, Ozzie and Elaine Rentsch — trained directly by Tom Bowen himself — were there giving a talk and demonstration.
I received two Bowen treatments from them.
When I returned home…
🌟 No jetlag
🌟 No back ache
🌟 No pain
I signed up for their very first UK practitioner training in 1993 — and I have never looked back.
Bowen soon played a major role in my family’s life. My daughter Amber was born prematurely at just 26½ weeks gestation, weighing 1 lbs 8 oz. She received Bowen in her very first week of life. Her paediatrician was astonished — she could lift her head… something unheard of for a baby born that early.
Over the years, I’ve supported clients from like my daughter a few days old to 91 years young — with many needing only 1–3 sessions to experience a significant difference. I later trained in Equine Bowen Technique and have helped horses, dogs… even birds! (One of my chickens loved her Bowen sessions after being stepped on by a horse!)
Bowen transformed my life when it felt like the medical world had run out of answers.
It helped me move freely again… and live again.
Today, it is my joy and purpose to share this remarkable healing modality with others who are ready to feel relief, balance, and renewed hope in their bodies.
Bowen restored my quality of life.
Now, with gratitude, I offer it to restore yours too. 💚
💛 Supporting healing for humans, horses, and other animals

I get often asked what Bowen Technique is and most importantly: what it can do for you!
So What Is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a light touch therapy that works on specific points on the body, thus stimulating the body's own healing mechanism, activating the immune system and addressing issues around circulation and assists in re-aligment of the body.
This extra-ordinary healing modality which Tom Bowen developed in the 60's achieved unprecedented international acclaim due to of it's often instantaneous and lasting results.
During a treatment people (and animals too who get a treatment) experience a deep state of relaxation and it is common for people and animals) to fall asleep while their body is in healing mode.
After a treatment problems that can range from recently sustained injuries to chronic aches or pains significantly diminish or completely disappeared.
Feelings of clarity and improved energy, increased libido, better co-ordination, reduced pain and swelling are commonly reported
Dewi Bone trained in the UK in 1993 and has practiced since. She also trained in Equine Bowen Therapy and is able to help with horses and other animals.

WATCH WHERE YOU PETS SLEEP INDOORS AND WELL AWAY FROM EMFs. Turn off routers etc at night at least to give you brain a rest. It can't rest with EMFs blasting 24/7. It's like a microwave oven and cook us slowly from the inside out. Same for the EV cars, it's like sitting in a your cell phone, you are on slow cook while driving. It's the frog in the pot of warm water, while it slowly gets warmer while you don't notice.

🌙 Ready to Feel Lighter This Week?
How’s your body feeling today? Maybe a little tired, achy, or out of balance?....
You’re not alone — these cooler, busier months have a way of bringing old aches to the surface, stirring fatigue and foggy thinking.
It’s your body’s way of whispering, “I need a reset.”
That’s where the Bowen Technique can make a world of difference — a gentle, restorative touch that helps your body remember how good balance feels.
If you’ve been curious about what Bowen is all about — maybe you’ve heard people talk about the surprising results after just one or two sessions — now’s the perfect time to experience it for yourself.
🩵 Bowen Therapy = Gentle Moves, Powerful Results
Bowen is like pressing your body’s “reset” button — realigning posture, releasing pain, calming the nervous system, improving sleep, and restoring natural movement.
Each light, precise move sends a wave of information through your fascia, awakening your body’s own healing intelligence.
✨ Bowen Technique may help with:
🌿 Stiffness, aches & pains
🌿 Back, neck, or shoulder pain — including old or recent (sports) injuries
🌿 Fatigue & brain fog
🌿 Insomnia & stress
🌿 Headaches or migraines
🌿 Asthma & hayfever
…and many more conditions.
People often describe Bowen as a deep exhale for the whole body — muscles soften, the mind quiets, and there’s this calm awareness that something has shifted. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and yet remarkably powerful.
✨ That Healing Touch – October 2025 DUO Bowen Special:
2 sessions for $70 (prepaid, normally $100+)
You can use both sessions for yourself. Or gift/share one with someone you care about who could use a little lift.
🪶 Exclusive Bonus:
For the first 10 bookings only — receive a locally handcrafted, all-natural healing balm (worth $25) to soothe and nurture your body between sessions.
If your body is quietly saying “yes please…” (or maybe it is screaming!) — listen to that nudge.
💬 Message me directly here to secure your spot.
✨ Offer ends Tuesday 21 October at midnight.
Limited spaces available, only 20 spots are left — don’t miss out on this opportunity to discover what Bowen can do for you.
P.S. Please share this post with friends or family who might benefit from discovering the healing touch of Bowen. 💙

I found this picture that was sent to me by Ali Goward (now EMRT, specialized Bowen for horses) holding my then little baby-daughter Amber, and Ozzie and Izzy with her little one. Amber was probably the youngest Bowen training attendee. Amber is the youngest person at 26 1/2 week gestation I gave Bowen treatment to two days after she was born. Eternally grateful for your teachings Ozzie and Elaine, always a delight to hear you cracking jokes, it was such a God-send gift to have met all of you! Wonderful teachers who introduced me to new beginnings in my healing work. In Bowen I found what I have always have been looking for: working with my hands, a healing modality that is simple, effective and often has a profound and lasting effect, so you don;t have to keep on coming back often (unless you want some deeply relaxing time to unwind your body..)
New beginnings as well for me after my move to Taranaki. A move that was laced with a lot of unexpected and unforeseen challenges. John, the man who was the reason that I moved to Taranaki, was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition and was told that he needed an operation, otherwise the prognosis would be less than one year to live.. So it felt like living with a ticking time-bomb for both of us, until we started looking in different directions for answers how to heal and ways to reverse what was happening, 2 heart valves instead of 3, that had fused due to calcification and all that put pressure on the aorta - a potentially fatal condition which required a heart valve replacement. Out of a scale of 1-6, he was diagnosed as 5! Listening with a stethoscope we could not detect a heart beat, it was more a gushing sound. Also he was not able to walk more than 20 steps without getting out of breath. That was 3 months ago... But there is some good news too! Since then improvements have taken place thanks to something that I had come across last year when I had a few health challenges myself. It’s called Natto and it’s amazing stuff, inspite of it’s texture and appearance, one of the best things since sliced bread! John has been taken this religiously since the surgeon told him that this was one of the best things to eat. John is now able to move around a lot better, more energy, breathing easier and when we listened to his heart we could actually hear it beating, albeit not as strong as it should be, but it ws there!
I came across NATTO end of 2018 - and I must confess it took a little while before I took the plunge to give it a go, mainly because of the adding of a raw egg to it. But I can say that I grew to like it so much that I miss it if I don’t get my daily fix. Not only did I notice a distinct increase in my energy level, but also don’t feel hungry till much later in the day and when I go out shopping, I noticed that certain things I used to like no longer appeal to me. All my horses got damaged during transportation and 2 were very sick and require intensive care.. And a few other things that were quite challenging to deal with.
Inspite of all that was flying around and the times that I wondered why this was happening I felt lucky that I could tap into the resources, knowledge and experiences that I had acquired during the years that I was working in the healing field. Also it allowed me to look into new information and developments, looking for answers to challenges that were thrown onto my path. And found a number of things, came across people who had knowledge and resources - and dived again into things that I had left or forgotten - all this formed answers, insights and solutions to problems and questions. And provided me with new ideas and inspiration that are slowly starting to create a new direction in my work I feel very excited about to start sharing with the world in the coming months.
Yes, it has been an intensive and a profound time and many times I questioned what it was all about and why this was happening. I have always believed that things happen for a reason. And that there are always solutions for problems. And that when we look beyond what is happening we are able to see the bigger picture, and the gift that comes with it.
In the coming time I am hoping to contribute to the world what has helped, but also what hindered me. There are always more than one side to everything and it’s from our limited perspective and experience, and the way plus the environment that we were raised in how we respond. And it’s not always what we think it is - when we become aware and awake we can then start seeing everything from a different perspective. And I am hoping to be part of a growing global community that is discovering that what really matters is to be connected to God, the Divine, Source or by whatever name people choose, and that we all are looking for love, peace and happiness. And the home coming is when we discover that this is already within us.
I have just started doing my healing work again for new clients both in Taranaki as well as in Levin - my ‘other home town’ and thoroughly enjoy it. I’ve received great feedback and look forward to helping those who are suffering discomfort and pain with Bowen Technique and the tools that I have acquired on my journey to finding the best answers to heal oneself.
