| I was first introduced to Health Kinesiology after Sandie Lovell was personally recommended to me by a trusted friend. My reason for visiting Sandie initially was to find help for my Chronic Fatigue and digestive problems. Surprisingly I found Health Kinesiology not only helped my health issues but had positive effects on other areas of my life as well. Sandie is a highly skilled and friendly practitioner who employs a vast range of treatment techniques. I would highly recommend visiting Sandie for a non invasive and non stressful treatment tailored to your needs and delivered by a professional. Tracey, Wanaka, NZ |
| I gave birth to a healthy baby girl – the pregnancy and birth was perfect, but she wasn’t a sleeper. I went through a year of hell running on 4hrs sleep each day. I took advice from plunket, from friends, family, books, websites and none of it worked. I was exhausted and so was my baby. My depression and sleep deprivation was ruining what should have been the best year of my life. By chance a friend took a sample of my daughter’s hair to Ann who made up drops for me – free of charge! Thinking “what have I got to lose” I diligently administered the drops and even though it sounds silly I read out the description of the drops ingredients to my daughter. After 14 days she suddenly slept all night….and kept sleeping every night from there in. Sandie now gives my daughter HK work every 6 months or so to maintain those peaceful nights. We are blessed to have Sandie and Ann in Wanaka. Trish, Wanaka, NZ |
| I was experiencing muscle tightness in my neck and back and generally was feeling run down. I also used to suffer with digestive problems and have found that my digestive system is fine now. My uncle, a Homeopathic Doctor, suggested that I see a Bowen Practitioner. I was amazed at the results of the first session as my muscles had loosened up and I was full of energy. I have had a few sessions and have found that the treatment is very relaxing and has helped me in my general well-being. I always look forward to my next session as I feel great afterwards! I would recommend Bowen therapy to everybody. Thank you for the feel good factor! Kiran, Rotherham UK |
| Since seeing you last, we have both been able to STOP taking our antidepressants. I came off mine first then, unbeknown to me, B. began weaning himself off his & has now stopped them completely! It’s really quite unbelievable because the GP told me that I would be on them for life & I suspect that B. was told much the same. I did go through a few rough weeks when I seemed to get easily “wound up” but those are long gone. B. is soooo much better for being free of his – a different person actually.SO, THANKYOU VERY MUCH Sandie. And keep up the good work!M.C. and B.C., UK |
| “My IBS problems were sorted out over a few sessions with Sandie. I was delighted that in a painless and stress-free way old emotional baggage was got rid of. And, at the end of the sessions, it was as though the problems had never been. Great!” John, Sheffield, UK |
| At the age of 33 my periods had stopped, due to receiving chemotherapy in 1999. I started to feel bloated, experience hot flushes and generally feel out of balance. After visiting my GP, blood tests in 2003 confirmed that I was in early menopause due to the chemotherapy and therefore I was now infertile. I was advised to commence HRT, which I did reluctantly for 4 months.In 2004 a friend recommended I visit Sandie fro HK and Bowen. With an open mind I had three, one hour long sessions and implemented minor dietary changes. I had stopped taking HRT and started a natural herbal remedy. Within an hour of the first session I felt less bloated and my pelvic area began to feel normal.My periods returned regularly, a further blood test surprised my GP as my hormone levels were now normal. By the end of 2004 I was pregnant, and in July 2005 gave birth to a healthy baby girl (81b 2oz)!Apparently this fertility scenario is not that uncommon in women who have received chemotherapy, however I believe Sandie helped me immensely and our daughter will always be our little miracle.

‘After suffering excruciating back pain for over two years a friend put me in touch with Sandie. It took three Bowen sessions to get my life back. I cannot thank her enough!
I am able to live a normal life with complete freedom of movement without the constant pain, something I rarely achieved before’
Mike Hilton, UK |
Hi Sandie, just to let you know I have just had my first period after the therapy session and the difference is enormous.
I usually wake in the night due to increased menstrual flow and although it isn’t painful it is usually very uncomfortable for about two days. Well this time no waking in the night and menstual flow was greatly reduced for the whole time. THANK YOU so much. Mary J. UK |
| I am compelled to praise and thank Sandie Lovell. Many years ago I prolapsed 2 lumbar vertebrae making an ill-advised and very heavy lift awkwardly. 3 years of incapacity, pain, chiropractors, osteopaths and clinical corsetry did nothing to alleviate the problem for more than a week before I was as bad as ever.I was lucky enough to be guided to a kinesiologist who sorted me out as if magically, which apart from an occasional twinge lasted for nearly 10 years on building sites, ongoing sport and manual work before my problem recurred and I was back to square one and virtually bedfast.I found Sandie on the internet. I do not know what accolade nor do I have enough superlatives to give you an impression of how I feel about her. She is a saviour. With a few gentle touches my back is mended.6 months ago I had a violent fall which wrenched my knee and left me with migraines, pins and needles in my fingers and toes and a frozen arm and shoulder. I was fixed in 2 visits.I am delighted to write this testimonial to her abilities. I do not know if she is incredibly learned or has a singular and special gift. I don’t really care.I do know that I am not afraid to get on with things in a normal and uncaring way because she is there. I unreservedly urge you to consult her if you are in difficulties. You have nothing to lose and for a bread and butter fee everything to gain.Michael Bromley, UK |
| Charlie is a premature baby with cerebral palsy. He has difficulty with movement and spasms in his limbs. As Charlie gets older he becomes upset and frustrated as he isn’t able to do as other children because of this condition. Also, before Bowen therapy, he caught every cold and virus possible, which with his problems had an effect of restless, sleepless nights. Since treatment with Sandie, Charlie’s mood has lifted, he is able to occupy himself for short periods, he has had less illness and his sleep pattern has improved. We feel it is a miracle treatment.

James started receiving Bowen Therapy in 2006 and more recently, Health Kinesiology.He is an active child, always pushing the boundaries with his behaviour, has a repetitive nature and has inherited an extremely rare condition, IMAGe Syndrome, key features of which are short stature and requiring replacement steroids on a daily basis. Additionally, James has a bilateral moderate hearing loss and mild learning difficulties.On most therapy sessions James will arrive in a somewhat hyperactive state, sometimes even wanting to go home before the therapy has even started. Within a few minutes after the start of the treatment James is considerably calmer and is quite happy to have both Bowen Therapy and Health Kinesiology.According to James’ paediatric consultant, he has a “blockage” in processing language and as such has a severe speech delay (his speech development is currently pitched at 3yrs whilst his chronological age is 7yrs). Health Kinesiology has been used with James with amazing results! We did an exercise of me talking with James whilst the TV (showing one of his favourite films) was on in the background. James is easily distracted and has difficulty concentrating. Just in the last week he has started to ask more questions (a very new concept for James), is slightly less repetitive and has grasped new words much more quickly than previously. It is as though a “magic wand” has been waved above his head! Just yesterday he came out with three new words which he’s not used before. It took James just over two weeks to learn the word “stick” and even then it was only after project work at school.I have seen a real improvement in James’ vocabulary, clarity of speech and understanding since the last HK session just three weeks ago. I asked school for their opinion and they could definitely see some improvement just over the last week or so too! It’s all very positive!James has never before “chipped into” a conversation which wasn’t aimed at him unless he felt he would gain some benefit, i.e. asking for a toy/drink/sweets, etc. but yesterday he did. Family members were talking about James but weren’t aiming the conversation at him; James looked up (from his concentration on his PSP!) and said “whatever”!James’ taekwondo instructor made a special comment to me that she felt his vocabulary had really improved.James seems to be remembering words more readily. At one time it would need major repetition of a word over a long timespan (i.e. saying a word 50 times over a couple of months) before James would store it in his memory. Recently he has only needed the word being repeated to him about 10 times over the course of a few days and it has stuck!James’ speech is still coming along really well, and again, since we saw you last he has come out with more new phrases, i.e. “what’s going on?”, “what happened”, “what are you like?!” and now recites his address!Thank you Sandie for all your wonderful work.

| I was at low ebb, constantly feeling unwell, negative and losing confidence. Many years of medication and a self-imposed elimination diet helped, but did not get to the root of my health problem.On recommendation, I visited Sandie for a consultation and a preliminary treatment of HK and Bowen, following which I sensed some improvement. She accurately identified the reasons behind my problem, one from 30 years ago during my teaching career and another more recent, and more personal.Subsequent treatments have enabled me to dispense with my medication and I have gradually introduced the foods I believed were atthe root of my problem with no ill effects. I have every reason to be grateful.K.C, Sheffield, UK |
| After a very stressful 6 months at work, settling into a new country, constant visitors ( a common issue with migrants in New Zealand!) and my parents splitting up in an extremely bitter way after 43 years (on the other side of the world), I felt emotionally and physically drained. For whatever reason during this time I passed out and hit my head resulting in a concussion. In my usual “keep going” approach I carried on and did further damage resulting in me being unable to focus on anything and ending up in hospital. Supermarket shopping, work meetings, the computer, reading documentation and cooking were all too difficult, the financial pressure of not being able to work also starting to take it’s toll. The constant pain in my head and unbalanced feeling was unbearable, I began escaping to bed to try and calm the stress at 8pm or sometimes earlier. This went on for about 4 weeks and in desperation on the departure of my last set of visitors I called Ann & Sandie. My husband and I had been introduced to Ann and Sandie through a HK practitioner in the UK. Ann was away in Australia but Sandie calmed me down and gave me a number of techniques to use and vitamins to take until Ann could get to me. This really helped. Ann diverted her trip back to Wanaka coming up to Auckland and spending 5 hours with me. She used the HK to deal with the many issues that had arisen over the previous months. The following morning I awoke and the unbalanced pain in my head had disappeared and my health started to significantly improve again. We also talked and worked on tolerance levels for a variety of aspects of my life, which the HK had also addressed. I made a number of changes in my life and had a couple of follow up sessions with Ann and feel fantastic. I will never stop the check ups to keep me in balance, I feel the wellest I have been in my life! Thank goodness Ann and Sandie emigrated from the UK to NZ. Jane of Auckland |
| “I went to see Sandie with an open mind for HK after she was recommended to me by a fellow professional. I found her to be sensitive, thoughtful and accurate and was surprised by the way HK complimented psychotherapy and provided a way of bringing together body, mind and spirit for me. I found the treatment valuable and restorative and returned for follow up sessions that were extremely helpful. I don’t really understand the mechanics of this way of working but trust the process and Sandie and appreciate the benefits!” Jo. Dunedin. NZ |
| “I went to see Sandie with a shoulder pain that wouldn’t go away. I couldn’t belive the improvement after just one session. I had a 2nd session which gave me even more relief and mobility. Such an unbelievably gentle treatment but with such miraculous effects. Thank you Sandie” A.D. Cromwell NZ |
I consider myself to be a very healthy, active and energy aware 30 something male. I have a fantastic relationship with my wife and several hobbies that I love spending time doing. I have a good career, in a job that gives me the variety I enjoy. So you may think why HK? HK helps me stay grounded and in touch with my own body. I feel it has helped me gain clear focus on what I want and need in life and helps my body stay healthy in achieving my goals.
I feel privileged to have met Ann and Sandie. Their knowledge, professionalism, energy and kindness are un-bounding. I look forward to having my regular HK check ups/top ups with them in beautiful Wanaka. I come away from my HK sessions feeling energised and ready for any difficult situation life has in store for me.
I am very lucky to have met such wonderful people as Ann and Sandie, and would whole-heartedly recommend their treatments to anyone.
