Bowen Therapy at Holistic Health Taranaki

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive and very gentle body therapy, focusing on fascia release. It does not force the body, stress the body or manipulate. It can be given though a thin layer of clothing.

Through the work on the fascia, it positively affects the nervous system, creating a cascade of positive change with other body systems as well.

If you have any of the below symptoms, or if you have tried 'everything' and have made no progress, try Bowen. It might be the right thing for you.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
