Dorothy: a Time To Heal success story
Dorothy came to me with a number of issues - severe lower back pain, anxiety, digestive problems, incontinence and shortness of breath. When she arrived for the first treatment, she had difficulty navigating the front steps and was winded by the time she got inside. The treatment took place on the first floor, as climbing the stairs to the second floor was daunting, if not impossible. The lower back pain originated at the site of a 30 year-old scar where she had had a number of vertebrae fused. It was so painful that touching it caused excruciating pain. The very lightest of touches was required. At the end of the treatment, she moved a little better, but still had the lower back pain.
The second visit saw Dorothy walking a bit better and reporting better digestion, far fewer instances of incontinence and she "just felt better" all week. This time, a feather touch was used on the still-painful lower back.
Dorothy arrived for visit three looking more relaxed, walking better. She walked up the steps with greater ease and headed for the second floor treatment room without getting winded. She held her head higher, her body displaying less tension overall. The lower back pain was less again.
On arriving for the fourth session, Dorothy recounted an upsetting personal incident and gave me the details as I worked on her back. While listening intently, I automatically did the lower back moves at the normal pressure... no reaction... she confirmed she had NO PAIN!
Up until her most recent visit, Dorothy has not had a recurrence of the back pain, she feels far more relaxed, is moving better, has good digestion and less incontinence.
She loves Bowen therapy.

C Section Scar
My section scar feels flat, not as raised or bumpy as it once did. I had a look at it the other day and it seems to have faded as well. I have more sensation closer to the scar tissue that was not there before. I thought that once that skin and nerve was damaged, the sensation would not come black; I am pleasantly surprised.
Thank you so much for your help and therapy to making me feel well again, not just my scar but for my whole body.

Scar
(Re-) my scar - the treatments definitely helped it not feel as tight or restricted. I feel like I have more range when I do yoga - or stretch. I was much more aware of it before treatments, it would tug. It softened up as well, pressing on it felt hard before - it is not as hard now.
I had a lot of emotional trauma wrapped up in my scars. I don't feel as much anger towards it now. I show it easier, for example on vacation - I parade around in a bikini. I'm usually a little hesitant at first, but after my treatments with you I was much more free with it. And thinking that everyone is staring at it is foolish. I actually met a person who was recently diagnosed with Crohn's while we were in Cuba and I said "yea, so of course you saw my scar when we were talking on the beach" to me it's like this big noticeable scar - but she said "no I didn't notice it at all!" Which was shocking to me. I feel like I've accepted my scar more. I realize I am alive and the scar is a result of the steps that were NEEDED to keep me alive.
So from the physical to the emotional feelings, you've definitely helped me.
I thank you for that.

Soul Genesis
The day after my SG clearing, I felt this joy and lightness that I didn’t even realize were missing. Knowing the qualities and characteristics of my soul have helped me understand why I am the way I am, and has served as a lens through which I see my daily life. I am really living closer to my Highest Potential right now. I am so very grateful to have a clean slate- now, to ensure I don’t fall into old patterns! The advice offered by Joan, along with conscious living, and maybe a little coaching will keep me on the right track!

Chronic pain:
"Joan Dohey, you're a ninja. For those of you who don't know Joan, she is a retired French teacher and as genuine as they come. She practices a therapy called Bowen Therapy, also known as the Bowen Technique, is a hands-on physical treatment involving a gentle healing pressure applied to affected muscles, tendons, fascia and nerves followed by a remarkable and literal release. I have seen Joan on numerous occasions and feel better every time. If you have a nagging, annoying, chronic pain or discomfort of any kind. Try Joan. She's a delight and you'll feel better. Oh and guess what? Your pets can have Bowen too. Give it a whirl!"
- Traci, St. John's
Chronic back pain:
"I am a 64 year old man who was unfortunate enough to have a sledding accident when I was 15 years old. Coming down a hill the sled went air borne and I landed on an exposed rock causing pain to my lower back. I went to the hospital and was advised that my back was bruised and should be fine in a few weeks. Well it is still not better and I have learned to leave with the pain in my lower back since 1966, chronic I believe is the word to use. I have visited chiropractors and Chinese acupuncture over the years and have found a form of relief but nothing worth talking about. My daughter who lives in Gander was having back problems and was advise to go visit a Bowen therapist in Gander in which she did. In no time she was on the phone calling her dad to tell me her great feeling after the treatment and that I must go get this treatment as well. I did. I booked a round of five treatments with Time to Heal and Joan Dohey. During the treatment I was skeptical to be honest as the treatment was very relaxed and no bending or flexing joints or bones to the point of more pain. Joan told me to allow a day or two for the body to adapt to this system. I honestly have to say that after the second treatment I absolutely felt no pain in my lower back, no pain. It was the first time since 1966 I had no pain in my lower back, no pain. I continue to return to Time to Heal for general touch ups and the effects of treatment last depending on what activities I do after leaving her office. Would I recommend Bowen Therapy, I certainly would.
Just as a few notes I would like to add. Mainly, Joan is a very friendly and personable young lady, I find her humorous character allows me to be very relaxed with each visit. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to the Bowen technique. Along with this she does mention her Master degree she has earned at university.
Thank You."

Distance Bowen Session:
I recently worked with Joan in a distance Bowen session. It was a very interesting experience! For the last two months, I've been working full time from home and my back and neck were taking a beating from bad ergonomics (its a real thing!). I signed up for Bowen by distance and it was so easy!!! She set up the Bowen session and I received the energy shift while I was sleeping through the night. When I woke up and started moving around, my muscles relaxed like butter and I felt my physical body shift into the healing energy of the session I had received in the night. The relief was REAL!!! I was AMAZED! Joan has worked a distance Bowen session as if it was an in-person session! Thank you so much Joan! You work a beautiful powerful distance Bowen session. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a good Bowen adjustment.

After a Recent Distance Bowen session, Betty wrote:
Well Good Morning Joan - WOW, my legs don't feel as heavy and my back actually doesn't feel tangly any more!! A few Bowen sessions and I will be as right as rain. Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤️
And later that same day:
Joan- my walking has improved and I feel like I have control of my legs again!!! I know a live session would be amazing as well, so, I would like to make an appointment please!
Thanking you again and in advance!
***Anyone having physical or emotional pain can get relief. The work that Joan Dohey does is Amazing! Bowen!! She gave me a long distance treatment, after a dozen or more falls. My legs and spine did not feel like my own and walking was like trying to get through concrete.
Joan's treatment took place during the night while I slept!!
I woke to no pain and my legs feeling lighter and much easier to move around. I am actually walking, with help of a cane much more normally than I was before that One treatment. I know Joan will help me get me legs back, ending the emotional sadness.
Thank you SO much Joan!!!
- Betty
Foot pain:
"I am so glad a friend referred me to Joan. She is amazing! I was having trouble with my feet with excruciating heel pain that was not improving at all..even after trying inserts..different exercises..etc..it became so bad that I couldn't go to the gym or do my daily walking of 5kms. Joan recommended Bowen treatment and I agreed to give it a try..well it is probably one of the best decisions I ever made...after 6 weeks I am now back to my gym routine and starting my walking routine again.. thank you Joan for helping me get back to my regular lifestyle."
-Geraldine, St. John's
Menopause:
"I had 6 reflexology with Joan to assist me in dealing with some menopausal symptoms of sleeplessness and related stress. I was lucky to have these sessions mainly early morning prior to going to work. What a great way to start the day! Several times I was so relaxed that I fell asleep shortly after Joan started her treatment. Joan always had a very calming ambiance in her office which I immediately picked up on.The fresh glass of water, strategically placed pillows and quietness set the right tone for the reflexology. I certainly feel that the sessions lessened the stress and some of the menopause symptoms I was having. I was generally more relaxed going to work and that lasted into the afternoon when I went home.I would most definitely like to continue with Joan's reflexology to continue her very effective stress reducing therapy."
-Joan D, St. John's
Muscle soreness after car accident:
"I went to see Joan for Bowen Therapy after a pretty serious car accident, from which I had sore muscles, headache, some aches and pains and mild anxiety. During the session with Joan I immediately felt very relaxed and at ease and as she worked on me, I felt my muscles loosen and a soothing energy come over me. The muscle aches went away soon after the session. I was having headaches in waves for a few days after but their intensity decreased with time and they're gone now. I would definitely recommend Bowen with Joan!"
- Maggie, Flatrock
Sciatica:
"After almost a decade of an ongoing sciatica issue, resulting from a slip and fall, I decided to try Bowen treatment. I had exhausted numerous others treatments over the years, including physio, acupuncture and massage, which had helped in the early days of my injury but failed to fully resolve the issue. I experienced mild discomfort – aches, soreness, and sometimes sharp pains – almost daily and I had resolved myself to “just living with it”. However after a friend had positive experience with Bowen treatments, I thought why not? It was covered by my health insurance, my doctor was willing to refer me, so I had nothing to lose. After the first treatment, I was still skeptical that it was actually going to help, but decided to stick it out and give it a solid chance. After about four treatments I noticed a change. In the day or two after the treatment I wouldn’t have any discomfort and, after a couple of more sessions, I noticed I get even more time without discomfort. After several treatments, I found that I had almost no discomfort at all! Bowen really has improved my personal comfort level and I will consider as a course of treatment for future injuries and other issues."
-Colleen, St. John's
Tight muscles, stress, menstrual cramps:
"I've been receiving Bowen treatments from Joan for the past 7 months. At work I am on my feet all day and have pain in my back and shoulders. When Joan first worked on my back and shoulders I had a lot of pain. Over the past few months I've noticed a big difference even during the sessions with regards to how my body reacts to the treatment.
In addition to the work on my back, Joan also treated me for menstrual cramps. Before my treatments I experienced strong cramping for the first couple of days of my period. Now, since the treatments, I have virtually no pain.
Joan has also helped with my anxiety and stress. Owning my own business brings its own stresses but treatments I've received have helped me deal with those stresses as well as sleep better during the night.
I would highly recommend Bowen treatments and especially Joan to anyone. Joan is wonderful in not only providing Bowen treatments but also discussing and getting you to think differently about things and ways to improve your life yourself."
- Jennifer, St. John's
Runner's Issues:
"I recently started running again and I have found my legs, hips and lower back have been hurting. My hamstrings were very tight and as a result was causing some lower back pain. After only one treatment I noticed a difference in my back pain. It had virtually gone. After a couple of treatments, my legs and knees don't hurt as much after running. Bowen is different from other treatments I have received. I find it very relaxing and beneficial. I look forward to a treatment on many levels. Joan not only helps with any physical issues, but the treatment is also a time for me to have an hour to myself. I would highly recommend Bowen. It is a non-evasive technique that has benefitted me in so many ways. My stress levels are lower, my physical aches are gone and I just feel better overall."
- JW, St. John's
Seasonal Allergies:
"I first went to Joan in July of 2014. I had been suffering from hay fever for over a month (I usually have it from June to Sept) and it was just getting unbearable. The over the counter medications weren't working. I was congested, my eyes were constantly watering and itchy, and I felt so tired and had no energy. It took all my energy to go out and enjoy the sunshine with my family. I was willing to try anything when my wife asked if I would give Bowen a try. Since then, I see Joan on a regular basis. She had my hay fever under control within 2 weeks and virtually gone after a few sessions more.
I also have recurring back and shoulder pain due to old rugby injuries. Joan has been working on those too and they too are getting better. I would highly recommend Joan to anyone who has hay fever or chronic pain. She'll help you live a happier and healthier life."
- Andrew, St. John's
Shoulder, Hip, TMJ:
"Although Bowen therapy was new to me I felt safe and in good in hands with Joan Dohey very quickly. In a single session my bursitis in my shoulders and hips, and TMJ pain had all improved markedly. In 3-4 sessions the change became sustained. I find this way more effective than any physiotherapy I've ever encountered. I recommend Joan often!"
- Jeff Cunningham
Stress and anxiety:
"With any kind of therapy, but particularly the “hands on” type, I think it is important to feel relaxed with the therapist. This was the first thing I noticed about Joan; you’re instantly comfortable with her. I feel you know her as soon as she says hello. This is a fantastic attribute when it comes to treatment and healing and Joan has it in spades.
I felt a few things after having treatments. The first one I noticed was that night I slept much better than usual. I am a light sleeper and that night it was much deeper. I feel more relaxed after each session. I have a tendency to talk too much during treatments so Joan guided me in one session to try and just close my eyes and pay attention to the treatment. That day was the best ever!! I was so relaxed and felt great. I wanted to stay and have a nap.
Joan is very accommodating and answered any questions I had which meant I learned things from her that I enjoyed an appreciated. In my experience she wants you to feel better, another characteristic that sets her apart.
I would trust Joan with my health any day and would like to move in with her for a month to see what she could do!"

Feeling stuck, fearful
"Thank you for an amazing Soul Genesis session. I came to you feeling stuck and somewhat fearful and uncertain about moving ahead. Now I'm feeling a shift that is gently pushing me forward.....like something has been lifted off of my body.....feeling much lighter with more balanced energy.....I can breathe more freely and deeply. I still have to process all the things that came up during the session but I'm glad to have reconnected with lost parts of myself and the opportunity to gain insight into higher aspects of myself. I'm really excited in moving forward and taking action to meet goals and dreams that I have set for myself (they no longer feel so overwhelming!). THANK YOU JOAN, you are amazing!”
-Sharon, Toronto
Looking for clarity and confirmation
“I just wanted to thank you for all the effort and work that you put in to this reading. It does mean a lot to me........and you hit the nail on the head at many points. I phoned my friend, who also had a reading done and gave her the highlights of the reading. It appears that we have a lot of commonalities and that is great, kind of helps explain why we've become such good friends.
As I said, I've always followed my heart, as a long haul trucker, as a Key Grip in the film business and now as an Osteopath for which I'm still waiting to hit my stride. This reading has simply helped to confirm to me that I am heeding in the right direction and I would like to thank you for that!”
