Bowen Technique- Hawera

I am offering a free first session with the Bowen Technique and subsequent sessions at half the usual price for TimeBankers, which is $25 instead of $50. In case you are not familiar with what the Bowen Technique is and what it does here's a brief explanation: Bowen Therapy Bowen Therapy is a light touch therapy that works on specific points on the body, thus stimulating the body's own healing mechanism, activating the immune system and addressing issues around circulation and assists in re-aligment of the body. This extra-ordinary healing modality which Tom Bowen developed in the 60's achieved unprecedented international acclaim due to of it's often instantaneous and lasting results. During a treatment people experience a deep state of relaxation and it is common for people to fall asleep while their body is in healing mode. After a treatment problems that can range from recently sustained injuries to chronic aches or pains significantly diminish or completely disappeared. Feelings of clarity and improved energy, increased libido, better co-ordination, reduced pain and swelling are commonly reported I trained in the UK in 1993 and have practiced since. I also trained in Equine Bowen Therapy and am able to help with horses and other animals. There is a different rate for horses and dogs, but happy to do half price rate for horse $50 and $25 for dog.. Because I have to come out for horses travel expenses need to be covered by  horse/dog owner. This is a standalone offer for TimeBank hours that carries no expectation or obligation for follow-up treatments or services.  Members interested in further treatments or sessions beyond this one time offer, can make arrangements with the provider outside of TimeBank trades. If the recipient feels pressured, at any point, to take up paid services, they are to contact the main coordinator immediately. If a service provider wants reimbursement for expenses or supplies, that must be clearly communicated in the offer, and agreed upon, BEFOREHAND.

Interior Decorating on a Budget

I was professionally trained as a colour consultant and I love decorating interiors, based on the knowledge of the colour wheel and how colours interact with each other. I just love decorating and would love to help others. I moved to Rangiora 5 years ago, decorated my own home, and now have moved to another home in Pegasus which is a work-in-progress but it is coming along nicely. The colour schemes are based on a big paintings I have. I have saved costs on furnishings by recycling, repainting and buying second-hand. Colour, design and lighting should all work together. They highlight and complement each other. I believe in expressing yourself and your family and having the things you love around you, which may result in a very individual style; not necessarily a cookie-cutter modern style. It does not need to be static either. It can evolve as your family grows and develops and your lifestyle requirements change. So call me and we can have some fun exchanging ideas about colouring and decorating your home. Michelle
