Society has changed considerably since Edward Bach

After shifting out of town, naturopathic graduate Julie Massoni knew her practice had to be different. After spending long hours researching animal health during her pregnancy, she began to attract a growing animal clientele.

Neurostructural Integration Technique

Bowen Therapist Ron Phelan from Geelong Natural Therapies spoke to Practitioner’s Fellowship about the benefits of learning Neuro-Structural Integration Technique (NST). As an extension of the later work of pioneer Osteopath Tom Bowen, NST is said to be ‘one of the more developed Bowen Therapy techniques’ according to Ron Phelan.

Melbourne Applied Kinesiologist Michael Nixon-Livy developed NST from Bowen Therapy through trial and error, fusing different ideas together from Tom Bowen’s earlier methods. More...
