Hi everyone, I have another exciting interview with you today with a real master of fascial work, Steven Goldstein.Steven has been in professional practice for almost 40 years now, starting in massage and holistic medicine in the 1980's and then developing a specialism for Integrative Fascia Release from the 90's with over 30 years of teaching fascia work.He founded the Fascial Therapy Institute in 2002. We are excited that Steven will be coming to the UK in Autumn 2025 to share 4 of his wonderful courses.This really was a fascinating interview and prompted our interviewer, Ben Calder, to book into one of his courses as soon as they got off the interview, so we hope you find this as interesting as we did.If you'd like to learn more about Steven and his work, training dates etc you can connect with him here:https://www.fascialrelease.com/https://bowencollege.org.uk/learning-dates/https://www.facebook.com/stevgoldhttps://www.facebook.com/FascialTherapyhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057524436848 http

Hi everyone, todays interview has got to be one of the most powerful and moving stories I've heard regarding Bowen Technique.Today we are speaking with College of Bowen tutor and Mindfulness teacher Kathryn Hamer. Kathryn shares her incredible story of how she started to have Bowen from her mum, also a Bowen practitioner, for the advanced carpal tunnel syndrome she had, having been told that surgery was her only option and she'd never work with her hands. Not only did the Bowen clear the carpal tunnel syndrome, but for the first time in years, it gave Kathryn peace from the harrowing drug addiction she had and began her process of recovery.This is such a beautiful story, shared so openly for us to show how much Bowen can create changes in spaces that we wouldn't imagine. Kathryn is now a passionate advocate for Bowen Technique and her story just shows us how much can be accomplished with this amazing tool. We hope you enjoy this interview with it's raw vulnerability about such a difficult topic.If you would l

I have another really interesting episode for you here today with Bowen Practitioner and Life Coach Sharon Scholfield, who has over 35 years of experience in HR, training, coaching and career guidance.Sharon has found she is especially good at working with people with neurodiversity and offers coaching calls and support as well as helping practitioners understand simple ways they can coach their own clients.We look at some of the problems practitioners can encounter in their businesses, what success looks like, how to manage burnout, transitioning into greater business and how to transition out when it's time to retire.This is a really useful episode for the business of Bowen and how you can work smarter in your own practice.If you would like to learn more about Sharon, or connect to book one of her 15 minute free calls, you can do so herehttps://www.sharonschofieldcoaching.co.uk/https://www.collegeofbowenstudies.co.uk/cpd-courses/life-coaching-sharon-schofield/ https://www.instagram.com/sharonschofield_welln

I am really excited to bring you another great interview in our series of discussions with Bowen Teachers from around the world, today we bring you this really interesting discussion with College of Bowen Studies Introduction Course Tutor Annie Hall. Annie's story is unique in that she lives on a fairly small island off the coast of Scotland UK, the Isle of Mull. She moved there to support her father and raise her children and developed for herself a very successful massage business, doing a lot of care for the over 65's and getting a lot of referrals from the local GPs. She moved back down to England and became a care home manager and was delivering a lot of training on health and social care before moving back to Mull and training in Bowen in 2021 with CBS. Since then she has not only made a thriving business, but is passionate about bringing Bowen to the more remote parts of Scotland where there is little provision for the technique.Annie sees the Introduction courses as a great way to get the community ot

Welcome to the next of our exciting interviews with Bowen Teachers from around the world.Today I have a great interview with Bowen College UK teacher Jun Chow to look as his CPD workshop the Neurological Approach to Bowen.Jun takes us through his history, starting with his degree in Animal Science and his ideas of working with horses and how that led to training in Bowen (without having had a session himself at that time!)We explore how he became interested in the neurological aspects of Bowen and why he feels muscle testing is an essential skill to add to your Bowen practice, with a couple of simple tools offered as examples of what you can learn with him.Plus we get the news that there is a part 2 and possibly a part 3 to the Neurological Assessment and Tools CPD that Jun will be offering.We also take some time to discuss the support community that Jun offers for any Bowen practitioner, regardless of who they trained with on WhatsApp and his plans for a hold-your-hand type business guide to help new practit

Hey everyone, great to see you again.I have another very interesting video for you, with pain and movement specialist and founder of the Bigger than Pain program, David McGettigan.David has a really interesting history of trying to solve the chronic pain issues he developed in his teens, which led him to a degree in sports rehabilitation, which, disappointingly, did not help him solve his issues. He then trained in the Anatomy in Motion work of Gary Ward and Jose Palomar's P-DTR, which has had an influence on the muscle testing that is coming through more and more in Bowen technique (see our recent interview with Jun Chow of CBS and last year's interview with Paul Esson).David has taken his knowledge and experience to develop his specialised online program, "Bigger Than Pain." This personalised system helps people understand their own pain journey and narrative, with a detailed recovery tool kit, community support, and guidance from the man himself.David has also authored several great articles on his Substac

I'm very excited to bring you another wonderful interview from the world of Bowen Technique.Today I am speaking with Russell Sturges, the founder and developer of Fascial Kinetics, perhaps the original offshoot from the initial form of Bowen Technique taught by Bowtech.Russel explores his early start in the world of bodywork from doing osteopathic massage as a teenager, through to the training and development that lead him to found Fascial Kinetics.We then explore more about his mindfulness, personal and spiritual development programs and why he feels these are so essential to being an effective practitioner.We also discuss some of his books and his work with the Tarot and it's value in personal development. This is a really fascinating interview with a deeply aware teacher, well worth your time and attention.You can learn more about Russell and Fascial Kinetics herehttps://www.russellsturgess.com.au/https://www.facebook.com/russellasturgess/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKC856noCjHcGx3QrLi5KLwhttps://www

If we’ve got a body and behavior component, do we need to do something with that? And that might have included diet and nutrition.Ben Calder  You know, I see quite a number of people in their 60s and 70s. And almost the number one thing that they will tell me is that the doctor has told them that they can expect it because of their age. And at that point, I want to slap that doctor and just say, No, that’s not true. Ben Calder  You know, give yourself a decade t

Welcome to the next of my interviews looking at leading voices in the world of Bowen Technique.I am really excited to share this next instalment, where we interview Ross Emmett, who many of you will know as the founder of EMMETT Technique, a worldwide technique for helping with pain and movement issues.Ross has also been involved in the development of Bowen Technique and taught for 8 years from 1988 and shared the evolving forms of his technique, which began before he knew any body therapy, with many of the early pioneers of Bowen, some of whom considered Ross's work "The missing link" in Bowen.Ross talks about his work with animals and how that was the initial place his work began and how that still forms an important part of his work today.We also talk about how your clothes and objects you wear (such as watches) can significantly unbalance the body.This was a really interesting interview to conduct and I am really grateful to Ross for being so open about his history. There is certainly much to learn from h
