Bowen

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Cathy for introducing me to Bowen treatments. I have been seeing Dr. Cathy for 14 years. She introduced me to Bowen 10 years ago after a fall when I had hit my shoulder and head on terracotta floor so badly that I couldn’t go to work. Dr. Cathy gave me Bowen treatments along with other supportive measures. I am happy to say that within 2 weeks I was able to return to full duty at work which included much lifting, up to 50 lbs, and bending and stretching. Now, whenever I have an injury or muscular issue limiting my use or giving me pain, I get 1 or 2 Bowen treatments and my pain is resolved. At my age (72) Bowen has been a blessing. Thank you Dr. Cathy!

The journey back to health can be a challenge and takes time and patience. However, if you stick with the program…it is amazing how your body can be healed! Most of the people I know will not even consider using naturopathic medicine. I hope my story will help educate people that licensed Naturopathic doctors are extremely educated and help heal the body unlike the conventional doctors I have seen who only treated my symptoms. I was in second grade when my first episode of fainting started. Why I would faint was a mystery to my doctors until I was diagnosed in my thirties with autonomic neuropathy and put on a medication that I was told I would need for the rest of my life. In my teens I had frequent yeast infections and urinary tract infections. During my twenties I was diagnosed with several allergies. In my thirties I started with degenerative disc disease and other back issues. During my forties I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis of the bladder and nerve damage in my leg. At that point in my life I frequently visited several doctors: neurologist, urologist, rheumatologist, allergist, gynecologist and primary care physician. I felt like my lifeboat was sinking fast! I could not enjoy even the simplest things in life without pain. My chiropractor suggested I try alternative medicine. While attending an event at the CYO center Dr. Cathy’s father told me that his daughter had moved back home and was starting her own naturopathic clinic. I had known their family for over 40 years and figured Dr. Cathy would be a doctor I could trust. In 2005 my journey to health and freedom from pain begins… Dr. Cathy started me on supplements and homeopathic medicines as part of my treatment with Biotherapeutic Drainage. We also did a series of Bowen treatments. In only 2 short years I was free of all my prescription medications and all those terrible side effects. In only 4 short years I was back to running, dancing, sewing, working, and simply ENJOYING life again! The last journey I am on is a treatment called “the brain protocol” which re-balances the nervous and glandular systems, and if my body responds well…I may be free of all my allergies. Dr. Cathy was the only one to make a proper assessment of my daughter’s health problems. She also balanced my grandson’s immune system and allergies when he was a newborn baby. My grandson’s mother had to be convinced that her son’s pediatrician was only treating his symptoms and he needed Dr. Cathy’s treatment. After 6 short months my grandson was healthy. I am now in my fifties with a body of a 30 year old, a mind of a 20 year old and a thirst for life and adventure! This feeling would not have been possible without Dr. Cathy!

Greetings Dr Picard. I went to a wonderful seminar on Autism Spectrum Disorders and Sensory Processing Disorders, and felt so deeply happy and thankful for you, and all of your guidance. I could talk for an hour on how wonderful this man is, and how engaging he was to listen to. My point is, that all of the interventions you have taken us through (from parasite testing, allergy/intolerances, digestive support, daily probiotics, vitamins, toxicity, allergies, etc), this doctor did such a beautiful job of presenting the significance of these factors in the management of affected children. His emphasis on nutrition, GMOs and organic food, staying away from preservatives, on and on... all of the things that we now know are important, and that you have taught us. I wasn't surprised at what I heard because you have taught us so much! It felt wonderful to hear all of these things from a "noninvolved" person. It validated the years of time, effort, resources, grocery bills, supplements and the daily struggles of managing this situation. I felt so spiritually lifted that we found you, and that you have been a part of our journey with Layne. I guess that sometimes the difficulty of the situation becomes such a reality that the big picture gets lost. I just want to thank you for making such dramatic improvements to Layne's health and to the quality of our family time together. Listening to this seminar over the course of the day made me so proud of what we have been able to accomplish, and only because of your interventions. You are not only healing Layne, but our entire family as well. So many thanks!!!!!
