A couple of years ago, during a really emotional time when I was going through my divorce, I started to experience excruciating back pain. It felt like something had been set off deep inside. One day at the gym, doing my usual kettlebell workout, it tweaked again but this time my body went straight into flight mode. I put everything down and walked out. Tears filled my eyes and my mind immediately went to the darkest place. Spine operation. Never being free of pain. Never being able to lift my son without fear again.

Your body is already remarkable

When you cut your finger, you don't have to figure out “how is my body going to heal this?” a little sore perhaps but within hours there's a scab and within days a scar is forming. That's your body doing exactly what it was designed to do, quietly, efficiently, without any help from your brain at all, isn't that remarkable?

December seems to arrive faster every year.

One minute it’s November, the next minute it’s suddenly Christmas, and we’re expected to be organised, generous, joyful, and calm… all at once.

Hello Flo here, I’m a Bowen therapist, a mum, a dog-mum, and someone who has spent most of her life wondering why her brain doesn’t quite work the same way as everyone else’s. I’ve been running my therapy business for eight years now, and after moving back to the North Norfolk coast three years ago, I’ve finally found my rhythm again… which apparently includes starting a blog. Late to the party, I know, but better late than never.
