I met Jen socially over 10yrs when I came to live in Perth. I needed an experienced Bowen therapist to help me with my ongoing body issues, mentally and physically, as I truly believe they are both connected.

I had had serious health issues for more than 15 years suffering from Guillain Barre Syndrome, had been bedridden for over 3 months, with severe pain in my upper limbs and no energy to operate normally. Bowen treatments were the only thing that gave me some short-term relief. Regular treatments allowed my body to repair itself slowly and eventually return to the new normal. I was left with permanent numbness in my hands and feet, which I still have to this day. It was imperative for me to find a new experienced and knowledgeable therapist, when I arrived in Perth, to ensure my mental and physical body could continue to repair itself.

I am so glad and was so appreciative once I met Jen, knowing my future wellbeing was in good hands. With a very informed health analysis by Jen at our first meeting, she now had a full understanding of my past and present health issues, along with my personal needs required to live my life to my best ability.

With very regular treatments initially, now only as required, which is infrequently, she has enabled me to live a pain free, and fully energised lifestyle. She has a great ability to know how my body works, what was needed to address the concerns with which I arrived at her door, and then to leave feeling energised and emotionally balanced. I have recommended her as a person and therapist with great integrity knowledge and understanding of the body and soul of a person, these again I believe to all be connected to our health and wellbeing as individuals.

I met Jen 13 years ago for wellness maintenance, as I have always had Natural Therapies in my life. In that time, have needed support and care to cope with the grief I suffered losing my eldest son to suicide. A major car accident followed, then another 7 years later, so I have become well versed in knowing when my body, mind and soul requires support. Jen’s gentle application of Bowen, Jin Shin Jyutsu, counseling, listening and observing as to what what my body may need, have a way of working without me even knowing. Whilst listening to me compassionately, Jen just knows how best to support and treat me when sometimes I don’t know myself. Providing a warm safe and professional environment, I easily relax.

As a result, I too learnt Bowen and Jin shin Jyutsu to better understand how they heal and balance me physically and emotionally. Receiving treatment has allowed my body to release naturally either shedding tears, feeling intense pain then the physical release, falling asleep, laughing or talking about feelings that arise, are some of the responses to treatment I have experienced. Deep and old memories held in my body and mind, have been released by freeing up the connective tissue that also houses the energetic pathways. Some conditions have taken longer than others to resolve but over the, days, months & years that I have been on this life journey, l am so aware of the changes that have taken place in me for the better. I am so grateful for how Bowen and Jin Shin Jyutsu help & support me daily on so many levels.

Jen freely shares those oh so important self help tips to use between sessions…which I do and they so work! Jen has such a lovely, warm approach which helps you learn to know & understand your body if it is open. Jen allows you to decide your future visits and openly suggests follow-ups with no pressure.

Jen’s Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help course is informative and easy to follow. I use the Jin Shin techniques daily with amazing results. During the lockdowns, I participated in Zoom sessions with Jen. The online sessions were as beneficial as in-person sessions. Jen is an excellent presenter and has an incredible knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu. I highly recommend both the Jin Shin self-help course and online sessions.

I would highly recommend Jen’s self help workshops to anyone interested in learning the subtle and powerful art of Jin Shin Jyutsu. Jen’s approach to this unique art form was insightful, considered, tangible and very nurturing. It gave me a practical and profound experience that I now use everyday to take greater control of my own well-being.

I got recommended to Jen by a mutual friend to try Bowen very recently. Having not heard of this therapy before, I was very skeptical. But it only took a few minutes into my first session to feel immediate relief from the aches that I had put up with for years. Ever since that 1st treatment and my now ongoing maintenance, my body has been clear of the pain and aches that had plagued me for as long as I remember. Even my golf game has improved! I would highly recommend anyone who was thinking about it….Do certainly see Jen @ Body Kneads.

Because I spend so much time on the computer, I thought neck, shoulder and back pain was simply my lot in life. Then I met Jen and her miracle hands! Jen’s Bowen therapy and Jin Shin Jyutsu have been transformative for me. Under her care, my body adjusts to everything life’s thrown my way – pregnancies, breastfeeding, grief, stress, long work hours, being a carer – so that I can wake up without pain and continue to wring every drop of joy out of life. Jen’s been treating me for 15 years and I still smile every time I pull up at her studio before a treatment because I know I’ll leaving feeling lighter, freer and happier. Thank you Jen, you are amazing.

I had tried a lot of treatments to deal with ongoing shoulder pain and it wasn’t until I saw Jen that I had long lasting results. I love the simple yet effective Bowen therapy finishing with Jin Shin Jyutsu I always leave a session feeling calm, centered and nourished. Thank you Jen for your wisdom and kindness and your magic hands.

I remember my first appointment at Body Kneads, the warmth of the room, the relaxing music, the aroma of essential oils. Jen’s skills nurtured my body and soul and her magic hands help keep me centred and mobile, I can’t live without her now.

She is now an integral part of my health care.
