"After increasing pain on running and walking I was diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip and knee. I was told by a specialist that the next step would be surgery to replace my hip - and I'm not even 50!  A couple of people had recommended that Bowen would help with the pain, so when I saw Virginia doing mini treatments I thought I'd give it a go.

She treated my knees and I didn't notice anything at first but by an hour or so I suddenly realised that all the pain was gone from my right knee and I only had the hip pain.  So I thought that if she could get rid of the knee pain, maybe she could get rid of the hip pain too, and I booked in for a full treatment.  After she finished the treatment I could walk without pain for the first time in 18 months, especially going up the front steps to my home.

My arthritis is still a work in progress and has its ups and downs - but Bowen gave me hope for a non-surgical solution.  In fact I loved the Bowen so much that I'm now training to be a Bowen practitioner."

"My name is Kathy-maree and I am 47 years old.  I had a stroke over 14 months ago and nearly didn't make it back.  One day I met Virginia and started talking about my fears and concerns for my health and mental wellbeing.  Virginia used Bowen, Reiki and Angel healing on me the first time and various other modalities on the other occasions.  For the first few months I went fortnightly then monthly.  During this time I have had some relapse but with Virginia's help and guidance I always bounce back.  Bowen is different, you can either feel the difference immediately or over a periods of days.  No matter what I feel that the techniques used by Virginia and her loving nature have helped me stay on top of myself and my quest in this life."

"I visited Virginia for a Bowen session when I could hardly walk.  After just one session the pain was gone, I could stand up straight and could smile for the first time in a week.  Virginia has a certain touch which is relaxing and gentle yet very effective.  Visiting  Virginia is always a pleasant experience."

I was suffering from a stretched lower back, with twinging constant pain. After just one treatment with Virginia I felt better within 10min and increasingly throughout the day the twinge disappeared, by the following morning I had no evidence of pain at all. Thanks Virginia.

It has been a pleasure to know Virginia Ede over the past four years whilst she has been a valued employee of Castle Home and Pet Minding Service of which I am the proprietor.

Virginia is employed as an Animal Attendant although this forms only part of her role in assisting me on a daily basis on the smooth operation of business.

To the best of my knowledge and observations, Virginia has always performed with a high level of competence and care showing diligence, initiative and a high level of regard for the welfare of any animal in her care. She has taken the initiative to follow up on an animal’s welfare in her own time on many occasions. There have also been numerous cards and comments from clients who have the highest praise for the wonderful care and affection, which Virginia has shown their animals.

At all times Virginia has been a bright and happy person, which translates into her positive and affectionate manner with all types of animals. She is friendly and warm making both clients and animals feel comfortable in her presence. Virginia has an enquiring mind and continues to increase her knowledge in various fields, which I feel is an added bonus to the business.

I have much delight in recommending Virginia to the study she has decided to undertake as this is an area in which she will excel and in which she will find great joy and reward.

Yours faithfully,

Miriam Milne (BSc).
Proprietor.
