The last lunchtime concert at the Methodist centre for 2024 features Taranaki Singer Songwriter Sam Fawkner-Egli. He has been writing and performing over the last 10 years, finding inspiration from great artists such as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Don McGlashan and the Finn Brothers.

The last lunchtime concert at the Methodist centre for 2024 features Taranaki Singer Songwriter Sam Fawkner-Egli. He has been writing and performing over the last 10 years, finding inspiration from great artists such as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Don McGlashan and the Finn Brothers.
The feeling of freedom and peace that music has invoked in Sam is what inspires him when creating his own songs, motivated by the spirit of folk music, rock'n'roll and what it did for the world during the 1960's (and beyond). Koha appreciated.

Bowen Therapy for babies can be incredibly helpful, not just for the baby, but also for the rest of the family.
Jarna's baby only had a few sessions and his improvement was such, that the whole family could function better.
Bowen Therapy can be helpful if the newborn or baby struggles with reflux,
spilling,
cries a lot,
is unsettled and unhappy,
cannot latch on well,
seems in pain in certain positions (will cry in the carseat, or won't feed on one side but will feed on the other)
and more.
If you know a mother whose baby is struggling, please let them know I offer Bowen Therapy for babies in my clinic. It is non-invasive, gentle and does not manipulate.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Bowen Therapy, the gentle body therapy;
So…… what is it, and what can it help you with?? 🤔
It works on your connective tissue and your nervous system, and in doing so, it helps reduce plain, increase range of motion and flexibility.

It can also be supportive when there is hormonal imbalance or burnout.
It seems to be really useful for migraines, headaches, and vertigo.
For babies and children, it can work wonders on reflux, unsettledness, and hyperactivity, to name but a few.

Bowen is gentle, it can be given through light clothing, it does not manipulate, and it is very well tolerated by newborns right up to the elderly.
Have a look at this 5-minute video, as it explains everything you need to know.
I offer Bowen Therapy from my Naturopathic clinic and am happy to discuss your specific needs if you are interested in trying Bowen Therapy for yourself.
