Bowen Therapy appeared in my life during a lumbago crisis: I couldn’t believe how quickly my pain decreased and I regained my freedom of movement, without the need for anti-inflammatories and analgesics. In addition to the physical sensation of warmth and relaxation in the lumbar area, I also felt… mentally… from the first Bowen movements, that I was cared for and supported. Somehow, this feeling was from within, it wasn’t just the good intention and warmth of my therapist. I realized then that the only possible explanation was the one given by my therapist at the beginning of the session: with the help of Bowen movements, the body “repairs” itself. How simple and brilliant, as only Nature can be! I then returned to this therapy for chronic sinusitis and then stayed for several sessions because it was my weekly oasis of peace and regeneration in the midst of the whirlwind that was my life at that time. I signed up for the course in the meantime because I was increasingly convinced that this therapy would be a reliable help in maintaining my family’s health in a natural and holistic way. At the courses I found a real family – it may sound exaggerated for those who have not participated in our courses, but that’s how it feels and the greeting at the beginning of the course with modules 1&2 “Welcome to the family of Bowen therapists!” is not an empty phrase.
After graduating from module 7, I resigned from the management of the multinational company where theoretically and from a career point of view I was doing very well, choosing to work only as a Bowen therapist and thus slow down, breathe and live with more joy and gratitude due to the fact that I can help those around me.
Bowen really changes lives.
Because I suddenly found myself with a lot of free time, I offered to help Marcela Câmpian in the classroom; she was a course organizer at the time and had also started her training as an instructor. I always enjoyed being in the classroom, reviewing and perfecting my technique, being with newer colleagues, Marcela, Carmen and Andrew Zoppos, my dear teachers from whom I learned and continue to learn. Marcela then suggested that I take over the organization of the courses, which I did with joy and then I gradually started to translate, when needed, the courses taught by our teacher Andrew Zoppos.
After a few years, Andrew proposed to me and I happily accepted to enter the training program as an instructor at the Bowen Academy Australia. I became an accredited instructor in 2021. The Bowen Therapist Diploma and the Instructor Diploma are the diplomas that I have enjoyed more than all the engineering, management and other training degrees obtained throughout my life. Obviously, more than the diplomas, I was happy that I was able to help my family and patients over time with this wonderful therapy.
