Testimonials
“Debbie, so very grateful that I found you in my hour of need.
So much was going on in my life and I couldn’t make sense of what was happening or how to deal with it.
With your help of life coaching, things became clearer and strategies were put in place and I worked my way forward in to a better space.
Thank you so much for your help and guidance. Life coaching is so positive.
I can really recommend it’s so much more productive to counselling and having your encouragement, enthusiasm and empathy I can’t thank you enough.”

“Thank you to Debbie for the invaluable advice and support that made me think about my needs and my worth along with understanding how events even as far back as my childhood have affected my life and my thought processes, ultimately allowing me to feel much more positive about the future”

“Debbie is a super professional. My mental health has improved immensely with our sessions. I have been able to be vulnerable and discuss all my issues, and by doing so, I have been able to evaluate my past trauma, helping me to understand why I was depressed. With Debbie’s help I have been able to change my outlook on life, becoming more present and positive.
The sessions are both professional and informal. There is much more of an organic flow to the sessions, which really helps me to express myself and be vulnerable. If I ever have a bad day, I know that Debbie is only a message away. Debbie also offers physical healing sessions such as Reiki, complimenting the other methods of therapy very well.
In comparison to my previous therapists, I have seen the best results with Debbie as a result of her style and methods. I still have sessions when I feel necessary and I would definitely recommend her to anyone struggling with mental health issues or anyone who feels they have lost their way in life”

“I have benefitted from Debbie’s knowledge and experience. She has helped me to overcome some difficult life challenges with her therapies. It is a natural progression into Life Coaching and Debbie’s skill and professionalism in this area has enabled me to regain focus and move forward.”

“Just wanted to thank you Debbie for such a lovely inspiring weekend course. Found it fascinating and a real insight into the body. You are an excellent tutor with an abundance of knowledge, it is and was a pleasure to know and be taught by you. Thanks again x”
Carole Thorpe
“I was a Bowen disciple when I lived in London and when I moved to Dorchester was delighted to find Debbie in Neal’s Yard. More recently, however, I have experienced a lot of personal trauma and feeling on the point of collapse. I contacted Debbie with regard to counselling, using whatever she felt would be best.
After three sessions, using the telephone, I felt so much better and able to cope and sleeping much better. I am 77 years old and to experience something new was, to me, a revelation. Thank you Debbie – a very good start to the New Year!”

“Triathlon Completed! Just a quick update as my last review is the last one posted. Well I know she isn’t Jesus but…………..I DID IT! First triathlon completed today. 4 months from limping in to Debbie to this. No more words needed.”
Jane Leonard
“Discovered Debbie by chance whilst visiting Neals Yard and so glad I did! First visit I reported pain (even on walking) from sciatica, a painful shoulder with associated neck pain (stopped my swimming) and a recently injured Achilles tendon! (definitely no running), so all in all not in a good state. Over the course of last year I had tried doctors, physios, and lots of ibuprofen with no real success. After just a few sessions of Bowen I could feel a big difference and after a few months I can report no shoulder or neck pain, I am running and swimming again and enjoying my cycling (is it my imagination that after Bowen I seem to travel faster and get up those hills with less effort?) and unbelievably am seriously considering my first triathlon aged 53 in a few months!
Oh, and for you ladies of a certain age ………..hot flushes? Mine disappeared after the very first session. I could go on but I think you probably have got the message. Best thing I ever did and now consider Debbie a new friend.
Back to my old self (with less of the old!)”

“Absolutely amazing crystal introduction workshop. Loved it and I can’t wait to do the Crystal Facial course in the future. Very thorough teacher, also patient and knowledgeable. Thank you x “
Claire Pavely
“The results were almost instant after my first Bowen session with Debbie! Several weeks after a knee operation, I was still unable to get past the limping stage which was putting strain on other areas. My muscles seemed to have locked up and would not relax. Originally I booked in for reflexology, but Debbie advised a short course of Bowen would have much betters results for my condition.
Within an hour of my first Bowen session, I was walking completely limp free and without any discomfort, which in turn has allowed me to slowly reintroduce exercise back into my daily routine.
A month on, and my muscles strengthening daily, I’m now cycling and back to yoga so a very happy client – thank you so much Debbie”
Sharon Harris
“The introduction to crystals workshop was fantastic. I’d recommend this course to anyone interested in finding out more about this subject. Debbie is a great teacher and knows her subject very well – thank you so much for a super day xx”
Claire
“Hi Debbie, I just want to say thank you so much for delivering such a fantastic course on Integrated Meridian Reflexology. I am completely inspired and cannot wait to include the Integrated Meridian Reflexology into my treatments. After experiencing the treatment, myself given by you prior to doing the course and feeling how powerful and beneficial it is I knew it was something I definitely wanted to be able to give to others. Thank you again and I will certainly be looking out for any future courses you will be running. Tasha x”
Natasha Navato
“After having some of Debbie’s wonderful Reiki treatments, I decided to do the Reiki 1 and 2 courses with her. She is so inspirational! Debbie and the Reiki have taught me how to See, Understand, Accept and Let go! Thank you, Debbie…you have changed my life! XX”

“I can’t say thank you enough to Debbie. I attribute my full recovery from being poorly to her treatments. I have the highest regard for Debbie’s skill, integrity, and kindness. I can’t recommend her treatments enough.”

James Shea
“I worked with Debbie after a particularly difficult time in my life following a divorce. at a time when I had lost myself and my confidence. Her coaching helped me map out my priorities, find balance and with the positive changes I have now overcome depression, and anxiety about the future. She is both compassionate and professional.”
Roger, Dorset
“Debbie has this uncanny way of getting to the point of what’s really going on. Her ability to listen and insightfully speak to who I truly am has sent me in a positive direction. I grew in confidence, I lost weight, my life just blossomed”
Jo Barfoot, Dorset
“I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be where I am now without Debbie’s insight, energy and support. Debbie is compassionate and engaging. She is looking at all the issues in a holistic manner, often uncovering unexpected angles through her extensive experience of working with people, the body and its emotions.”
Yuliya – Writer/Therapist, Dorset
“Working with Debbie was a delight. I was quite apprehensive when I arrived for my first session but she was so helpful and attentive and together we were able to look at what my next steps could be! Whenever I am stuck, I look back through the work we have done together and it helps set me back on track”
Ellenor – Student, Dorset
“I went to see Debbie after having neck and shoulder pain for 3 months, I had 4 sessions and my pain has completely gone, it is amazing. I thoroughly recommend Debbie and the Bowen Therapy, I will continue to see Debbie for her treatments.”
Sheila
“Trouble Free! On a one week cycling trip, Debbie kept me loose and pain/trouble free….despite a very high volume of training. She has multiple treatment methodologies in her toolkit and the Bowen was especially effective. I very highly recommend her…and look forward to engaging her again in the future!”
Mark M
“Debbie was a lifesaver. I was on a one-week cycling trip in Mallorca. With low back problems due to injuries, massage is critical. I’ve had thousands of massages over the years. Debbie was one of the best masseurs I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend her strongly enough. You won’t be disappointed.”
Tim
“Debbie is an intuitive, engaging and gentle therapist, with a reassuring manner. I highly recommend her Bowen Technique at Neals Yard. I experienced a tranquil safe space where healing of my neck problem was eased at the first session. This healing took place on many different levels. I will most certainly continue her treatments.”
Kyrin Singleton
” Cannot find enough praise for Debbie and Bowen treatment. After trying physio, acupuncture, and chiropractic for scoliosis, her treatment was like magic. Even when I had sciatica I crawled in with a stick and walked out without one! Have also converted my husband, who had a painful knee recently and is on the mend. Amazing. “
Sandra
“Debbie’s treatments are amazing, they are really effective and healing, and Debbie is a wonderful person. I couldn’t recommend the treatments highly enough”
Ella
“My experience of Debbie’s treatments are 100% positive. For anyone thinking of trying any of the offered treatments, I would say go ahead, talk to Debbie first and she will guide you to the best option for you. The Bowen treatments have helped my chronic respiratory condition, headaches and muscles stiffness improve dramatically. The Neals Yard facial is pretty special too.”
Gilly Gray
“Hi Debbie. Having suffered from back problems for over 25 years, a legacy of a long nursing career, I read your article in the local Ferndown Directory regarding the Bowen Technique. Having tried chiropractic treatment for a long time I felt it was time to try something new to improve my condition. Talking to Debbie on the phone I agreed to make an appointment but I must admit I didn’t expect there would be much improvement. How wrong I was, after 6 treatments over the last 3 months my back and joint problems have improved dramatically. I find The Bowen Technique to be gentler and more relaxing than the Chiropractic method and I just love the holistic approach of Debbie’s treatment. I am looking forward to following the Maintenance Treatment Program in the future. Thank you again Debbie.”
Ann May
“I have recently been on the Integrated Meridian Reflexology workshop, which was excellent!! I would really recommend this course to any therapist. It was so interesting and has opened a real interest and I really enjoyed being shown how to use the crystals too.
Debbie has so much useful and interesting knowledge and I came away from the course feeling inspired and have already begun incorporating this into my treatments at work and for friends and family. What I really think is beneficial is that it doesn’t just look at the physical but at the emotions too and often this is the root cause.
I am very pleased I have met Debbie as a person and as a teacher. I am looking forward to booking a treatment for myself with Debbie very soon! Thank you Debbie xx”
Lisa Murphy
“Hi Debbie, just to say a big thank you for all your treatments over the past three months. I went to see my physio yesterday and she could not believe how well I was, and I told her it was due to the Bowen treatments and that I had taken up Pilates and going to a gym, she said there is nothing more she could do so keep up the gym and treatments if the problem returns. Many thanks again”
Brian Cox
“I thoroughly enjoyed Reiki 1 and 2 courses taught by Debbie. I never expected to have learned so much in such a short time. Debbie’s courses have inspired me to practice every day, and I can honestly say this has made a real difference to my life. Thank you Debbie!”
Polly
“Thanks, Debbie, for the introduction to crystals, really enjoyed your style of teaching and felt has opened a door for me into crystal healing.”
