Testimonials

I have been visiting Kristin now for a number of years with various ailments all with great success. Last year I had a badly sprained ankle that was swollen like a balloon. A couple of moves by Kristin saw the swelling reduce dramatically right in front of my eyes, I physically saw it reduce!. More importantly though, recently I was diagnosed with 4 bulging discs, which were creating pinched nerves. I had tried everything but the pain continued to persist. 3 weeks ago I visited Kristin and since have had a treatment weekly. I am so pleased to announce that I have had my first pain free week in 3 months. Kristin is a expert therapist who can really bring long lasting pain relief; thank you so much Kristin.

I initially came to see Kristin in March 2000 when I presented with severe pain in my hips; it only took two treatments to correct the problem and be pain free, and functioning as normal. The next time I paid Kristin a visit was to address a problem with my right elbow, I was unable to reach across my body and found it very hard to perform household duties. Within 4 treatments the problem was resolved.

I have suffered from back problems for a period of sixteen years. After seeking Professional Medical advice on August 1st 2006 I was diagnosed with herniated discs in the lumbar region of my back namely L4 and L5. This caused a lot of pain, the loss of two months work and not being able to play and sport. My frame was contorted to one side and I had strong pain killers to get relief from the pain. I was not able to stand for more than two minutes at a time, which resulted in a lot a depression. After three months of weekly treatments with Kristin of Northstar Healing Therapies I am now able to walk erect, have no sciatic nerve pain and have resumed playing sport. I no longer require pain killers.Thanks to Kristin I can now resume a normal life

I have been in Kristin’s care for over 12 years and have found Kristin to be a Professional Therapist at all times and very knowledgeable in her field. Her caring nature, kind manner and many different therapies set her apart from the rest. I continue to receive regular maintenance which makes me feel wonderful and eases any aches and pains I may have.

I would hereby, without hesitation, like to recommend Kristin North as a Bowen Therapist. When I first started seeing Kristin I was a semi cripple with arthritis in my Left hip and unable to play golf. With her expertise and knowledge with Bowen she has enabled me to resume normal activities to the extent that I am now able to play 18 holes of golf and work in a manual capacity e.g. lifting drink cartons etc. I know for a fact that without her help (as I have tried other forms of therapy) I would not have gained my self-respect and mobility.

I have been seeing Kristin for 4.5yrs now and she has been able to heal my body for various discomforts that Doctors have not been able to. For years I had suffered from a neck which had very limited movement from side to side, a lower back that felt like it would break in half and Diverticulitis which caused Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) . In only a couple of sessions my neck was fixed, I know longer suffer from back pain and it was only after 4yrs of seeing her that I mentioned I had suffered a deliberating problem for 20yrs (IBS) and asked whether she could possibly treat it. After various treatments with her she has a method now that controls my IBS symptoms and I can now enjoy a life of playing my sport, working and travelling without fear. Bowen is Kristin’s love and it shows through her hands that heal.

I am writing this testimony to thank Kristin North for her professional manner and for her skills as a Bowen Therapist. I have been a runner for over 30 years; I have run marathons, half marathons and a variety of other events. I would have averaged at least 4 runs per week for the 30 years. About 18 months ago I damaged muscles/joint in my hip area; no not from running; from a callisthenic exercise in boot camp. Although I was able to run I found the amount of time I was able to run and certainly the enjoyment was waning. I was in some discomfort during the run and worse after; often very stiff and sore in the morning. I sought treatment from other professionals without success. Following only three visits to Kristin I was able to run freely without pain and commenced training for a half marathon. My goal after years off racing was to complete the race in less than two hours. I am very pleased to report that I completed the Inaugural Sunshine Coast race in 1 hour 56 mins. I had not heard of Bowen therapy prior to having Kristin recommended to me from one of her clients. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone with any injuries. Thank you Kristin North

Having studied at several colleges and universities I can honestly say that Kristin North is the best tutor I have had. Her delivery is impeccable, she is a great communicator. She is knowledgeable, engaging, supportive and patient. Her passion for Bowen Therapy shines through and her enthusiasm both motivates and captivates the class. If you are considering training to be a Bowen therapist I highly reccomend Kristin to take you through each step of your journey.

Kristin has been an instructor of the Bowen Technique for a few years now and I have found her to be a great teacher, easy to understand, patient and willing to answer any question. There is always a good atmosphere and I always learn something new. I am amazed how she provides so much information not only through the CEU courses but through sites like Facebook and this new Google site. Good on you Kristin, and good luck with your future instructor years!

Kristin North was present as a trainer throughout my training for a Certificate IV in Bowen Therapy. Kristin’s knowledge of Bowen Therapy and the human body is thorough and accurate and her passion for helping people is to be commended. She provides a great learning environment and has a way of scooping you up with her enthusiasm and taking you on a fun ride to learning a very special skill. Kristin imparts her knowledge clearly and concisely and, at times, when I wasn’t getting something quite right she would show her endless patience and try different ways to show me the same thing until I grasped the concept. What I love most is Kristin’s continued support after training. She is always available for valuable advice and encouragement and is only ever a phone call away.

It was my pleasure to attend Kristin North’s Functional Manual Muscle Testing/Upper Body for Bowen.

Learning how to isolate individual muscle dysfunction is crucial to best practice in client support. As a practitioner this knowledge contributes greatly to my confidence when customising the Bowen moves required, writing a follow-up letter with their General Practitioner if needed, and informing my clients in the interests of their best follow-up care and our plan for upcoming appointments.

Prior to my Bowen training my career was in Corporate Marketing and Professional writing. This background has enabled me to scale my Bowen practice to open a Wellness Centre and manage a team of practitioners in Life coaching, Reflexology, Physiotherapy, Psychology, and Movement practitioners. Working alongside these practitioners has put professionalism and best client care in the front of mind. I looked for gaps in my knowledge and one of the crucial gaps was in being able to identify individual muscle dysfunction.

At this point in my developing career I must continuously look for the gaps in my knowledge and Functional Manual Muscle Testing and those courses like it are supporting me, so I may be the best practitioner I can be.

Thank you Kristin for sharing your considerable expertise and to Bowen Training Australia for elevating these extraordinary instructors like Kristin.
