In my 20\u2019s, I was working as a research associate and poor posture and the repetitive nature of my role resulted in daily headaches, burning shoulders and over-all body pain. I was stressed, exhausted and I began suffering from a number of chronic health conditions. When I discovered Pilates and Bowen Therapy my life began to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The positive change is my health was so profound that I trained to become a Pilates instructor in 2004 so I could share this movement modality with others.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For me, it was the combination of both Bowen Therapy and Pilates that was the catalyst in my journey to wellness. So after a decade of Pilates teaching experience and 20 years in my science job, I began my training to become a qualified Bowen Therapist. In 2018, I combined my love of teaching Pilates with Bowen Therapy to start my own health business \u2018Balance Me\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

At Balance Me, my goal is to help you develop good functional movement patterns by first balancing your body using Bowen Therapy and then further improving your strength and flexibility by introducing Pilates. Combining these two modalities can significantly speed up your journey to wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Through your<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Bowen Therapy<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span> Pilates<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> sessions with Balance Me, you can expect an improved posture, an increase in strength and flexibility, reduced pain and an improved quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
