Hello! I’m Kirsty O’Rourke!
I was introduced to Bowen Therapy in 2012 and loved how I felt afterwards. I was totally relaxed and more energetic. My body pain had reduced and eventually disappeared after a few more treatments. I continued to have regular Bowen treatments. It reduced my stress levels so I could cope far better with a demanding job. I eventually realised how powerful this therapy was and how it was so effective in treating all types of conditions. I wanted to know more! My Bowen therapist Sonia, encouraged me to learn the Bowen Technique through Bowtech, the worldwide teaching school for Bowen.
I decided in January 2017 to start training as a Bowen therapist. By August I had completed the 6 months of practical training and after the required 12 months of online anatomy and physiology training and assessments I was awarded the BTA Certificate IV in Bowen Therapy in 2018.
I continued along the learning pathway and completed practitioner levels in EMMETT technique and Neurostructural Integration Technique(NST) Pronto Plus.
During the years of Covid and lockdowns I became a qualified practitioner in MSTR® McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release. The simple MSTR® process enables scar tissue to soften and reduce adhesions especially in C Sections , heart , knee, hip and shoulder surgery.
I am also qualified to deliver Reiki and Jaw Reset. I have received professional development in the specialty of pre-natal care, newborns and new mothers who benefit greatly from receiving Bowen Therapy.
There is always more to learn and I will continue to fine tune my skills to deliver complete and excellent treatment in my practice.
Life Before Bowen
I retired from teaching in July 2019 and now operate my clinic full time from my Freshwater home . I had been a Teacher Librarian for 20 years at St Kevin’s school in Dee Why, enlightening children’s lives with a love of literature.
Learning continues to be a part of my life. I believe in life-long learning and my new career as a Bowen therapist encourages me to continue with my self education in the health and wellness field.
On a personal note, I have been happily married to Brian for 40 years. I am a grandmother and the very proud mother of three fabulous sons who continue to support me through this new journey.
