Yoga Fusion members who have tried Bowen Therapy have this to say about their results:

"I was really impressed with the results from the treatment. A client of mine who told me Bowen Therapy is amazing was right! I definitely will be recommending you! I feel this method of treatment is unique & extremely results-oriented on so many levels; you are a true healer. Thank you so much!" ~ Laura Gravell

"I went to Islena hoping to get help with a painful bursitis that nothing else seemed to help. After only three treatments her gentle, painless method has eased this problem a great deal and, as a bonus, eliminated the pain in my shoulder that has troubled me for more than ten years. I expect my bursitis to be completely gone with a few more treatments". ~Susan Torrano
