Slavko, The Veggie Man.

Irene from Frankleigh Park

Slavko died last week! Really sad! I don't know if people realise that he donated the impeccably engineered Pukekura Children's Playground fountain.One day he asked me,out of the blue at the Car Boot Sale "You have car? And a camera?"....I was wondering where he was going to go with this.... He explained that he had neither and he needed to go somewhere and do something. So I picked him up from his house. He directed me to go to Pukekura Park whereupon he proceeded to take me to the "Fontana!'. He asked me to take a few photos,including him and one of the children present. He explained that this fountain was his present to the people of New Plymouth. That he had researched it thoroughly, had it designed and made out of the best stainless steel possible so that it would last a long time. I remember the price was exorbitant! Somewhere in the many thousands. Apparently he wanted to show his family what he'd given to New Plymouth by photo. Somewhere with the fountain is the plaque with his name.

Bowen Therapy for Newborns and Babies

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

Bowen Therapy for newborns, babies and young children can support them after a traumatic birth or during difficult first weeks/months of life.

It can be helpful in the following situations:
- Discomfort
- Unsettled
- Crying/screaming a lot
- Vomiting or spilling
- Difficulty latching on
- Tummy pain, such as cramp, bloating, wind pain.
- Crying when being put in the car seat.

A Bowen session for your baby is quick, non-invasive and very gentle. There is no manipulation involved.
If you feel your child is just not happy and comfortable, try Bowen Therapy for them. Just a few sessions often can greatly improve their wellness.
