Robert Le Page-Haines

Back in the early 70's I started conducting training sessions in the personal development field, it was then that I identified the connection between how people think and their state of health. For many years I felt frustrated because while I was able to help people at a mental level, I had no way of addressing their physical aches and pains. This dilemma was later resolved when I was introduced to Bowen Therapy. As a teenager I was treated by the late Mr Tom Bowen (the originator of what today is referred to as Bowen Therapy) This came about because Tom was a close family friend. Tom was a gifted healer and did amazing work with many thousands of patients a year from all over Australia. Tom died in 1982 and I thought his work had passed away with him. Fortunately he taught 6 men his technique and that led to my learning Bowen Therapy in 1993.
