The Bowen Technique is a gentle, non-invasive bodywork therapy developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the 1950s. It involves gentle rolling moves over muscles, tendons, and fascia, interspersed with short pauses to allow the body to respond and integrate the changes.
The Bowen Technique stimulates the autonomic nervous system to promote self-healing and restores balance and relieves pain or tension by addressing the body as a whole. Beneficial for musculoskeletal pain (e.g. back, neck, shoulders), headaches, stress, sports injuries, and general wellbeing.
In the field of kinesiology, Total Body Modification (TBM) is a unique and comprehensive system of healing that operates on the principle that the body has an innate intelligence and capacity to heal itself, provided its regulatory systems are functioning optimally. Developed by Dr. Victor L. Frank, TBM is a form of energy medicine that combines chiropractic principles, acupuncture concepts, and applied kinesiology techniques.
The core idea behind TBM is that the body can become "switched off" or imbalanced due to physical, chemical, or emotional stress. These imbalances create functional blocks within the nervous system, preventing the body from regulating itself effectively. This can manifest as a wide range of symptoms, from pain and fatigue to digestive issues, allergies, and emotional distress.
Orthodynamics is a non-invasive bodywork technique designed to relieve structural pain, long-term injuries, and stress stored in the body. It works by using trigger points and gentle movements to release trauma, realign posture, and restore natural movement patterns. By mimicking the body’s position during the original traumatic event, it helps the "body mind" recognize and gently release stored pain and tension. This method is especially effective for resolving muscle spasms and chronic holding patterns, promoting lasting postural correction without pain.

Cancer-related is one of the most
common side effects of cancer and its treatments. Like fatigue, cancer fatigue is
whole-body exhaustion that you feel no matter how much sleep or rest you get.
Cancer fatigue takes exhaustion a step further: You feel physically, emotionally and
mentally exhausted most of the time. Cancer fatigue may last a few weeks (acute) or
for months or years (chronic).

At Vitawell Wellness we provide personalised and appropriate dietary plans before, during and after cancer treatments.
We focus on addressing your current nutritional status and develop the right diet for you. "One size does not fit all" principle applies to your diet. Each person is unique and therefore variability exists between nutrient-sense diets.
We provide a 7 day menu plan, shopping lists and recipes that reflect food preferences and sensitivities. The menu plans are easy to follow. Each food is selected for its specific content of nutrients. Healthy foods positively support your whole person wellness.
We are increasingly aware that we face countless health challenges every day. Some of them will significantly contribute to a cancer diagnosis. We also have the tools to modify these challenges. Making proactive choices about your diet, increasing physical activity, managing stress, optimising hormonal balance, and minimising environmental exposures is a direct and potent strategy for your future health.
Nutrition plays a foundational role in our health, influencing everything from our energy levels and mood to our susceptibility to illness. Nutritional Medicine is not just about avoiding unhealthy foods; it is about strategically using food and evidence-based nutritional supplements as theraputic tools. This approach recognises that each person's nutritional needs are unique, influenced by their genetics, lifestyle, environment and specific health conditions.
Herbal medicine is the oldest and the most widely used system of medicine in the world today. It is medicine made exclusively from plants.
Herbal medicine is validated by rigorous scientific research which has explored the complex chemistry of plants. Many modern pharmaceuticals have been modelled on, or derived from, phytochemicals found in herbs. Increasing research on herbal medicine demonstrates that liquid botanicals play a critical role during, before and after a diagnosis of cancer.
Vitawell Wellness seeks to provide only the highest quality full spectrum herbal extracts available.
Cancer requires negotiation and navigation. Decisions must be made. Directions must be pursued. The decisions and directions often occur in the middle of stress, fear, trauma, and many other challenging emotions. The skills with which people negotiate and navigate their cancer journey are better supported by combining conventional treatments with evidence-based natural medicine.
At Vitawell Wellness, we design individual programs to support you regardless of your diagnosis and the stage of your cancer. We collect all critical information about your state of health and help you in your decision-making process with the wisdom and the experience that comes from years of clinical practice. We work in alignment with what you think, feel, say, and do. In this way, we honour your self-awareness, your knowledge and views and integrate them in safe practices.
