Babies can respond positively within hours (think reflux, projectile vomiting, constant crying, generalised unsettledness and inability to settle for sleep, etc).
Young children can also have very quick improvements in their issues, physical or mental-emotional (think unresolved injury recovery, anxiety, asthma, hormonal or digestive upsets, bedwetting, etc).
No wonder, their fascia is still quite fluid and will pick up on the stimulus of the treatment pretty much instantly. From there, it's a matter of watch the change unfold... it may take only 1 session, it may take 6. But it's such a gentle treatment, it's perfect for kids 😊
This 12-year old is deeply relaxed during his treatment.
The school holidays can be a good time to book your child in for Bowen. Just use the booking link below, or call me to discuss and arrange the best time and day for you: 06 752 0503.

Are you tired of waking up with back pain or feeling restless after a night's sleep?
If so, consider an orthopaedic mattress to improve sleep quality and well-being.
But the question arises, "Is an orthopaedic mattress good for everyone?"
We'll explore the benefits of orthopedic mattresses and help you decide if they're the right choice for your sleep needs.
Orthopaedic Mattress vs. Normal Mattress
The term "orthopaedic mattress" often sparks curiosity, and rightfully so. While it sounds like a specialised medical product, it's important to understand how it differs from a regular mattress.
Regular mattresses may be comfortable but might not provide enough targeted support for back pain or sleep posture.
Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to focus on aligning the spine and relieving pressure. They can help ease back pain, joint discomfort, and muscle tension, leading to healthier and more restful sleep.
Can Anyone Use an Orthopaedic Mattress?
You might wonder if orthopedic mattresses are exclusive to those with specific health conditions.
The truth is orthopaedic mattresses are designed to support your body's natural alignment.
It suits athletes, busy professionals, parents, or anyone who values good sleep. They are perfect for anyone seeking a more supportive and comfortable sleep surface.
Consider an orthopedic mattress if you want to wake up refreshed and pain-free.
What is an Orthopaedic Mattress, and How Does It Help Reduce Back Pain?
An orthopaedic mattress is not a gimmick; it's designed for orthopaedic health. It uses memory foam or latex to support your body's shape.
By aligning your spine, it reduces pressure on joints and muscles. This benefits those with back pain or arthritis. The support prevents sinking, avoiding discomfort.
Studies show it improves sleep quality and reduces back pain. Find the right firmness and type for your body and sleep preferences.

New Zealand Police are aware of reports emerging this month where Kiwis have been contacted on the phone by someone claiming to be an officer. The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you. This is a scam.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton, from Auckland City’s Financial Crime Unit, says there have been at least a dozen reports made to Police, and these scam calls are largely being made to landlines. “While Police do not have accurate numbers of how many of these scam calls have been received, it is important that the public are aware,” he says. “Police will make some enquiries into these calls, but our experience has shown that often phone-based scammers will be operating from overseas. “We appreciate the vigilance of those who have contact Police so far, as this will help us to make others in the community aware.”
Unfortunately, scams can take many different forms and target victims on different platforms, Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says. “Scammers are opportunistic and thrive off your trust and good-will. If you receive a call of this nature, do not hand over any personal details.”
New Zealand Police will never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, pin numbers or passwords. There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties. Police ask that the public remain vigilant.
𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿:
➡️Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, pin numbers or passwords over the phone.
➡️Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
➡️If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details. Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
➡️Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.
If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.
Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the NetSafe website.
𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺:
Police are also aware of an email scam that has re-emerged, that claims to be authorities from Police and other justice sector partners. This scam has been subject of previous advisories. We continue to advise people to be extremely cautious when receiving unsolicited emails. Do not reply an the email of this nature under any circumstances.
