Since her early twenties Robin has been fascinated with various forms of personal development and in the course of her journey has experimented with and taken part in courses in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and a 10 day Vipassna meditation retreat, amongst other modalities, and has read a considerable number of books on personal development and self-healing.
Robin, a keen athlete, took up Kick boxing as a sport, and after several years of hard training competed in several gruelling national and international kickboxing events, gaining the title of British Amateur Kickboxing Champion (WAKO) and represented Britain in the European Championships in 1998. She has also spent time in Thailand studying Thai boxing.
She is a well-qualified and experienced freelance fitness instructor, coaching one-to-one clients and teaching a wide variety of classes in health clubs and companies around London since 1993.
In her thirties Robin travelled extensively in Asia, Africa and Central and South America and had plenty of opportunities to explore new avenues on her personal journey. In Asia in 1997 she came across Usui Reiki and took her Reiki 1 in Kathmandu, Nepal, her Reiki 2 in 1998 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and later her Reiki Master in 2003 when back in England. Robin has been a fully qualified Reiki Master for 5 years and assures confidentiality and her patients leave her with a feeling of calmness and revitalised well-being. Reiki promotes deep relaxation, helps relieve stress, works on all levels - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - rids the body of toxins and works at removing negative energy. Reiki can help balance emotions, enable release of deep emotional patterns, raise vibrational frequencies, strengthen auras, cleanse and balance chakras.
While in Australia, visiting a friend who was learning the Bowen Technique, she discovered this amazingly effective healing modality, that during the course of their practice on her she noticed huge changes, improvements and beneficial effects in various imbalances she had in her body. So later in 2000 with her interest in the Bowen Technique piqued, when in London she studied for and qualified as a Bowen Practitioner with BOWTECH© – The Original Bowen Technique. Robin is a full member of the Bowen Association UK (BAUK), has a certificate in Advanced Bowen, and has a qualification in Anatomy & Physiology for Alternative Practitioners.
She constantly updates her knowledge in order to offer the best service possible with these modalities. Robin aims to promote the natural ability of the client’s body to heal. She has treated with good results, using the Bowen Technique and/or Reiki, a wide variety of clients: runners, exercise enthusiasts, climbers, kick-boxers, and other extreme sportspeople, massage therapists, businessmen and women, and many others.
Her enthusiasm for sport, keeping fit and healing techniques enables her to understand fully the needs of her clientele and so provide them with the best possible care and attention.
Robin is a caring and competent complementary health practitioner with many years of experience in the field and through the Bowen Technique and Reiki seeks to restore the optimal functioning of the body and aid its ability to self-heal. She works with honesty, integrity and openness, working intuitively, observing and reading responses in the patients’ body to help them in finding health.
Robin chose Bowen Technique because of its' extreme effectiveness, while at the same time being very gentle. It is effective pain relief for many complaints such as neck and back pain, sciatica and frozen shoulder, among many others. Bowen Technique is suitable for all ages.
Bowen Technique can relieve pain, correct muscular-skeletal problems and release mental and emotional blocks. Most people find that a small number of treatments are adequate even for long-standing complaints. However, you do not need to be unwell to benefit from Bowen therapy, as it is an effective way to help the body function at an optimal level of health and often results in a deep sense of relaxation.

Client's Testimonials
As a long-time sufferer of back and neck pain I was a little sceptical when told about Bowen Technique. After only two treatments my feet were better aligned, my posture had improved and my lumbar/neck pain significantly reduced. I cannot recommend Robin highly enough.
Rob Brown - I.T. Consultant - Reading
Robin treated me for a climbing related elbow injury, using the Bowen Technique, after which the problem improved significantly. Two years later, when I returned for a 'follow up session' we extended the treatment to my back, which was a very powerful and relaxing experience. I would recommend these treatments for both healthy and injured people.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis twelve years ago. May main symptoms are fatigue and a loss of sensation down my right hand side, with aching and weakness in my right leg and arm.
I found after having Bowen treatment with Robin the symptoms are less, my limbs feel stronger and the aching goes away completely. I am very pleased with, and would definitely recommend, Robin and the Bowen Technique to anyone.
Robin's Reiki sessions are also fantastic and give me a great feeling of well-being and relaxation.

After two Bowen sessions with Robin my back problem had alleviated. This came as quite a surprise to me as in the past when I went to Harley Street for treatment my back problem was never completely solved and I was left with a painful neck, which was a referred pain from my back. After the first Bowen session I felt more relaxed than I had been in a long time and this in turn relaxed my back and then my neck. Six months later I am still experiencing having no pain or cricks in my neck - which is blissful.
