Testimonials

I suffered tremendous continuous pain for many months as a result of what eventually was diagnosed as a herniated disc and sciatica. I went to every source to help with this situation. Finally, I tried acupuncture and then Bowen . The relief from Bowen was wonderful. I would have a treatment from Patsy and in about five days, I would have a new pain free existence. I will continue to have treatments, if I feel the need, but I will now always choose the Bowen route first.

Sincerely,

In the spring of 2013, I received Bowen Therapy treatments from Patsy MacDonald. The experience was comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful. The subtle, gentle movements of the therapy left me with a feeling of well-being and a sense that my body was aligned and stress free. Patsy is a caring person who ensures her clients are well-informed about the process of the therapy.

This is the most informative Bowen website I've seen. Very well explained.

I nursed a very painful lower back for months. After repeatedly attending physiotherapy, which included acupuncture, I heard about the Bowen method of therapy. Three sessions later I was almost pain free. This is a gentle non-invasive form of treatment and Patsy is a respectful, quiet and caring practitioner. I highly recommend both her and her application of Bowen therapy.

I had the pleasure of learning Bowen Therapy with Patsy. I was fortunate to be her partner during our final examination. At the time, I was feeling quite ill with a cyst in my neck area. Patsy, with her gentle, caring, ways, worked with me for two days.

At the end of the second day, I was enjoying the company of my other learning partners, and feeling well. I spent the remainder of that week looking for the suspicious cyst.

Bowen works. Patsy is knowledgeable, caring, and respectful. I hope I will have the pleasure of having her work with me or my loved ones in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Congratulations Patsy. You are a wonderful therapist.

For two years, I suffered with pain in my lower back. A bladder infection and gall bladder issues were ruled out by my family doctor. Acupuncture and massage offered no long lasting relief for this problem. Then I picked up one of Patsy MacDonald’s cards, describing Bowenwork, and thought I will give that a try. Well, after two sessions with Patsy, I can say honestly, the pain is gone! I know, it’s hard to believe, sounds impossible, but it’s true. A big plus for Bowen Therapy is that one does not have to disrobe! Gentle touches, very professional, a quiet treatment, one's body is properly aligned, and the pain is gone. Miraculous, really. I’m sad for the people who either don’t know about this treatment, or are afraid to try it. Thanks to Patsy and Bowenwork for giving me back a pain free day!

I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after a horrific traffic accident in 2012. I suffer from both physical pain in my left leg and emotional stress. I have tried many modalities, but none have had any lasting effect. I read about a local Bowen Therapy practice in Lunenburg on the community facebook page and decided to give it a try. After the first move, I felt it started to work. After that, it just just got better. I am almost back to a normal life and have little pain. I go for maintenance treatments when I feel the need. Thanks to Patsy and Bowen Therapy. The two are truly amazing!

“I appreciated the opportunity to experience Bowen treatments. Patsy is a respectful and gentle practitioner. I found the sessions very interesting and noticed a greater feeling of relaxation following each one.”

I have a back problem, which has caused me lots of discomfort for years. I tried many meds for comfort, along with treatments from specialized people, who have done some help, for me to cope with my problem. One year past, I got a pain in my side, caused from my back issue. I was told I would have to do exercises which made more pain for me. I heard of Bowen Work and I was told such was done in Lunenburg. I made a phone call to Patsy MacDonald who does great Bowen Therapy. She works with people to help live with less pain or complete no pain. I have visited Patsy for some treatments, only to know her work has given me a great way of doing daily chores with complete comfort.

n 2014, my Beagle was diagnosed with 3 calcified discs in her lumbar region. After two sessions of Bowen Therapy, four days apart, she was pain free. She has not had any problems since. She receives Bowen Therapy once per month for maintenance.

My lovely golden retriever of 14 1/2 years recently had an episode of vestibular dysfunction and was literally flat on the floor for seven days. Prior to this, his hind legs were not always cooperative going up and down stairs and his tail had lost its wag. Early on during his confinement, Patsy came to give him a Bowen treatment. Fast forward 10-14 days. Drum was up on his feet and moving better than before! Honestly. Once he had regained his sense of balance and strength, he was determined to go up and down stairs. He can do so much better than before the episode. He literally trots down the yard now. As for his tail, I noticed today that he uses it to balance. This is a totally new sight for me. It had become so still. Then another friend pointed out that she noticed his tail was moving now whereas it didn't before. I am convinced that the Bowen treatment followed by almost a week of inactivity has been key in Drum's recovery and overall improvement in his mobility. Thank you Patsy.

Harry has had amazing improvements after just 4 treatments of Bowen. He had very limited mobility before his treatments but now he is able to move more and can jump up on the couch with no problems at all. He is in a much better mental state as well, seeming more happy and at ease. It is a wonderful thing to see!

We have an ageing Border Terrier who is struggling with mobility issues and stiffness. After trying some pain meds which she had a severe reaction, it was suggested we visit an osteopath. Before we found one in the local area I was given a pamphlet about a therapy called Bowen Therapy which was available locally. After two treatments one week apart she was much perkier and obviously feeling so much better. We have continued with a few more treatments and see improvement after each one. She is a much happier, more relaxed dog. Thanks to Patsy for introducing these alternative treatments to us. So happy we can help her to be more comfortable in her golden years!
