The day I discovered Bowen Therapy I was excited. After seeing the benefits and results for myself and in friends and family I knew I needed to learn more about it. I remember coming home from my first day of Bowen training thinking how everyone can benefit from Bowen Therapy!
20 years in Pension, Payroll, Benefits and accounting had stressful, deadlines and times of feeling burnt out. Venting my frustration while walking with a girlfriend she asked me “What do you think you will do in your next life?” My response was it will be in the health and wellness field. Next thing I knew I met a Bowen Therapist in my chi kung class and curiosity led me to learn more.
4 years later I have a practice in Brampton, Ontario and a mobile service that extends into the GTA. I am a certified Bowen Health Therapist and two years ago became a Certified Reflexology Therapist adding Reflexology to my practice. I continue to learn from my clients and I see results every day with Bowen and I am thrilled to be a Workshop leader and share Bowen Therapy

I began my Bowen journey in 2006 after I was at a health seminar with my uncle who had frozen shoulder. There was a Bowen practitioner there who asked for volunteers with pain. His shoulder was mobile and pain free in just minutes. It was a miracle before my eyes, as he had been working with many other modalities before with no relief. I decided to register for the class the next day. Since then the miracles have been endless!!! I am so grateful and blessed to be able to do this full time and witness the most amazing transformations of pain and imbalance to health and freedom every week. I was in the Canadian Royal Navy full time when I started Bowen, since then I have been able to help numerous military members with various conditions on ship and land. I have transitioned into the reserve force now part time and continue my service in health and well-being.
I am also a registered massage therapist, and do various modalities, including aquatic therapy; when I combine Bowen with absolutely everything I do, the healing benefits are exponential. Bowen enables my work to be so efficiently effective, and it’s gentle on my body as a practitioner.
I am so grateful to have tapped into this incredible method of powerful healing.

He has practiced Bowen Therapy over 4 years and is excited to spread this simple and yet powerful therapy onto others.

Having had a career as a Manager in the financial world at a very young age gave me the determination, drive and motivation to want more out of life. After a number of years in the corporate world, life presented itself with new opportunities. With a strong will to revitalize and reinvigorate myself, I went back to school to awaken my desire in the wellness field.
I have found my true passion for life. I am contributing to the wellness of others by teaching them how to handle everyday stress. This allows them to de-stress and become proactive with their health and wellbeing, which is what we all strive for.
Artistic by nature, focused on fostering connections and helping people find balance and wellness, I like to share my experiences with like-minded people. I am a Certified Bowen Health Therapist since 2009 and use Bowen to help people with various health issues.

Denise Rochon
I first graduated as a Registered Nurse in Quebec City in 1979. For the next five years, I worked as a nurse in an Inuit community in the Arctic and in Montreal with children suffering from cancer and other degenerative and chronic conditions. In 1985, I graduated from the Nurse‑Midwifery Program at St‑John’s University, Newfoundland, and subsequently worked at a high-risk maternity hospital in Montreal. Seven years of nursing and caring for those involved in the passages of birth and death played a determining role in my professional development. More than ever, I was convinced that there were certainly in nature some other approaches or methods that could prevent and alleviate the suffering of so many, and help in the cure of their chronic ailments.
This belief led me to a search for alternatives and eventually, to naturopathic medicine, homeopathy and to Bowen therapy. Although they are gentle in approach, these methods are of a preventative and healing nature while being safe and empowering.
For me, naturopathic medicine has become more than a medical system. It is an art of living where there is harmony with the laws of nature, the self, others and the surrounding world. My work is my life. My life thrives through my work.
Since offering my services on the Sunshine Coast and opening the Sequoia Naturopathic Health Centre in 2011, I have supported hundreds of clients to restore their health, build strength and create freedom in their lives.
It is for me a real privilege, honour and joy to be working with you.
