Our Practitioners
Carolynne Doucette, BPhEd
Owner, Certified Bowen Practitioner
Carolynne first entered the health field as a fitness trainer in 1984, after completing a university degree in physical education with a minor in Kineseology.
Also having a strong interest in the arts, she later studied and worked in graphic design for a number of years. During this time, Carolynne’s health deteriorated with the onset of pain issues, chronic fatigue and other problems. In an effort to get relief and resolution from her symptoms, she had numerous treatments from many alternative health modalities including physio therapy, chiropractic, osteopathy and acupuncture. Although many of the therapies provided some relief or helped to some degree, it was Bowenwork than resulted in the most noticeable improvements.
Inspired by how much Bowen can help with so many different health conditions, Carolynne trained and got certified as a Bowenwork practitioner. Over the past five years, she has also become certified in the advanced levels of Bowen Therapy, which has enabled her to use additional specialized procedures with her clients. Presently, she has a full time Bowen practice where she addresses a myriad of health issues for clients of all ages & health conditions.

Wendy Russell
Certified Bowen Practitioner
Wendy started out in the science world as a Geologist for a period of time. She then worked in graphics design, urban and regional planning and finally over 20 years as an IT specialist. She came full circle back to the world of stones with Hot Stone Therapy, followed by other bodywork training, including Reiki and Aromatherapy.
After having an impromptu Bowen treatment for shoulder issues, she was amazed at how effective Bowen work was with just a single move. This prompted her to begin Bowen training in 2016. In 2018 she became certified and has since taken more advanced Bowen training.
