TESTIMONIALS
"I came to Niesje initially for Bowen therapy and Reiki. Throughout my Bowen and Reiki sessions Niesje had created this open, non-judgemental, patient space and quite suddenly I found myself opening up to her about a few things going in in my life.
Niesje was so sweet, she let me vent and blubber. She gently chatted to me about how we carry emotion/trauma in our body and explained why we need to work through it. It all made so much sense.
​
Before we started, I was a typical overthinker, hyper reactive, anxious, depressed, very concerned about what people thought of me, of what I do, angry, frustrated and having semi regular meltdowns. I had struggled most of my life with my mental health and had some very unhealthy, self-limiting beliefs and thoughts, that were stopping me from being able to be myself, content, peaceful.
It wasn’t long after we started somatic trauma healing before I started to feel things shift. I started to feel lighter but grounded. I was beginning to be able to think about traumatic times in my childhood and adulthood without any associated pain in my body, without being flattened with sadness or geared up with anger.
​
As a result of things shifting/coming to terms with things, becoming more at peace with things I found I wasn’t so reactive in situations/with people, I found myself ‘just doing’ things, like going into the supermarket and offering to return an elderly lady’s trolley. My head was much clearer, peaceful, in fact kind of empty at times.
This is a very summarised, simplified few paragraphs about what has been an incredibly helpful, relieving journey! Niesje is gentle, consistent, patient, encouraging. I highly recommend that everyone gives somatic/trauma healing a try but I especially recommend people try it with Niesje as their guide."

"Niesje has such a beautiful way of providing a healing service to her clients. I arrived feeling frazzled and left feeling much more serene and balanced. I felt understood and cared for and in expert hands. Once I was on her table, after a few light adjustments, I was in a deep restful space and felt like I had slept for hours! Once I finally came back to Earth, I felt at first a bit groggy and then as the evening wore on, I felt a relaxed energy, alertness and just all round wellbeing. I slept so well that night! I will definitely be back for more regular sessions. We are lucky to have this wonderful service available to us!"

"I cannot thank Niesje enough. She has made a huge difference for me. I met with Niesje to discuss my back problem that causes me chronic pain. I have a Structural Scoliosis. I have tried many treatments but few made any difference.
Niesje discussed what she would do using Bowen Therapy and we both hoped for a reduction in my pain levels. We did achieve that and much more. My upper back smoothed out. My Dowager hump is practically gone. I have gained 2cms in height. I am feeling so much freer and more flexible. I can't believe the difference. All done without any manipulation that caused me any concerns. The gentle movements have an enormous affect.
​
Niesje is a true healer. I would recommend her to anyone."

"I have always struggled to connect with my body. Niesje helped me understand how my nervous system works, and gently guided me towards finding some of the root causes, while giving me such useful tools for how to release the energy in my body and help myself to feel safe and calm. So grateful to her.
​
Niesje is a beautiful practitioner. She is grounded and calm, while offering solid support and useful information. I would love to work with her again in the future."

"It was my first experience of Somatic Trauma Healing and Niesje was fantastic. I felt safe in session and felt lighter and more relaxed in my body after the session. Niesje has a calming presence and was confident with some quite intense emotion. I can’t speak highly enough about my first experience with her, I felt like I was in expert hands"

"Thank you Niesje for the healing distance reiki session. Your energy is so grounding, healing and powerful. It was like I was right there receiving the reiki energy. Thank you so much for the intuitive messages as well."
- Allison (distance Reiki)
"I have recently had the pleasure of a long distance reiki treatment. It was an awesome experience for me as I could tell exactly where she was working at all times from my head to my feet. After as we spoke on the phone comparing feelings etc it was spot on. I have noticed a definite improvement and thoroughly recommend this treatment."

"I have been receiving Bowen Therapy for 3 weeks as I have had a really sore shoulder, Niesje has not only fixed my issue, she has also sent me home with some exercises to help maintain my strength. Today I had Reiki for the first time ever and it has blown my mind away. I feel amazing and full of energy. Niesje has some amazing healing hands, I highly recommend giving it a go, she will lift your spirits and send you away feeling great"

"Niesje has such a calming aura about her and is such a lovely and professional lady to deal with. We did a distance reiki session which left me super relaxed afterwards... Some of the feedback from Niesje about what she felt and saw throughout was definitely relevant to me, I'll be rebooking in for a hands on session to bring my zen back."

- Amanda (distance reiki)
"I took my baby to Niesje when he was around 2months old he was a very unsettled baby with colic 😓 I’ve never experienced anything like this before so I didn’t know what to except but after receiving both Bowen and Reiki treatment he was a completely different baby ! So calm and relaxed and slept so much better his body was always so tense and stiff, so to see him so relaxed was the best feeling ! She was so gentle and patient with him and he absolutely loved her and I will forever be grateful for your incredible work and knowledge 😠Niesje is AMAZING and I can’t thank her enough especially for all her advice she has given me as I am a first time Mummy you made me and my baby feel super welcomed and comfortable in your safe space HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

"Niesje is amazing! She is knowledgeable, listens to your needs and explains everything really clearly. I was having horrible sciatica pain early on in my pregnancy. I couldn't move quickly, would get sharp pains from random movements and could hardly sit on the floor to attempt to stretch. After one Bowen Therapy session the pain was almost completely gone, with just a couple of positions that caused a slight niggle. After the second session, the pain is completely gone! I can even sit on the floor again without any worries or pain. Highly recommend this treatment!"

- Jane (Reiki)
"Niesje was able to help my son with his PUV and OAB medical ailments. He experienced significant improvement after only one treatment with Bowen therapy and further improvements after a few more sessions. We are very grateful for your sessions. Thank you Niesje"
