Sweating Restored to Normal

Sweating Restored to Normal

I am now 64. Since I was in my late 20s, come summer or winter, I would come over very hot with my face and arms in a sweat. It would only last about 2 to 3 minutes.

Over the years, doctors said there was nothing I could do. Therefore it became a way of life. That was until I visited Brilliant Living Solutions (April 2013) and learned about about the balance of minerals.

Explainations about the body and the deficiency of minerals all made sense. Within the second week I was only getting very hot, there was no sweat. I can live with getting hot.

After all these years, I am not embarrassed when I become hot. I am so pleased I met you.

Thank you.

A massive weight has lifted

Since I saw you on Thursday, I feel a massive weight has lifted; my constant battle with beating the clock has subsided/gone!

I cannot believe it.

"Thank you" does not and will not ever extend far enough.
Life changing Anxiety Results

Life changing Anxiety Results

I have been amazed seeing the life changing difference kinesiology with neuro-training can make for someone with anxiety. The process is gentle in that it does not require any recount of personal history, which can be distressing.

The results were felt after only one session with the long-term all consuming anxiety which affected every aspect of life, gone. Without the anxiety, and without medication, good sleep and a healthy appetite have returned.

They expect that this release from the grip of anxiety should be permanent. I would recommend to anyone suffering from anxiety to visit Brilliant Living Solutions for help. You will know quickly if the treatment is working, and the process is not invasive, please give it a try.

A decade of Back Pain, Spasms & Rib Pain

A decade of Back Pain, Spasms & Rib Pain

I have lived with chronic pain for more than 10 years. The pain was worst at night, limiting my ability to sleep.

I have tried the medical profession, who investigated for “nasties”, and finding nothing just gave me drugs to help deaden the pain and knock me out. I tried physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture, Pilates, Tai Chi, swimming and gym. Some of these things reduced the problem for a short time, but then it came back.

Some helped me cope; but still gradually it was getting worse. I was unable to sleep on my back, or on my left side at all, and could manage half an hour on my right side and a little longer on my stomach. I was getting spasms when I walked, and gradually my function was deteriorating and the future was looking pretty grim.

I hadn’t tried Bowen Therapy or Tissue salts (aka Mineral Therapy). A thorough assessment was done and I was started on tissue salts. Nothing dramatic, so we decided to try the Bowen as well, as the body was so locked in bad patterns and dysfunctional muscle spasms, that it needed more help to release itself. I had 9 treatments over 5 months.

Each session my therapist would listen intently and attempt to understand every little ache and pain I described. They would try moves that they thought would help, and if they didn’t know they went to no end of trouble to try and find out what might be causing the pain and (develop) strategies to work on it. Gradually over the weeks the muscles relaxed and the body began to right itself.

Like pealing the layers of an onion, they worked through each issue as it presented and released the muscles and thereby the pain. I was able to sleep on my left side again for the first time in 5 years. I have even managed to sleep for 8 hours in one go, although not consistently. I no longer take the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories or the heavy duty pain medication the Dr had prescribed.

My posture has improved and I can walk without spasms. I am not totally pain free, but my quality of life is so much improved I am eternally grateful, as it is only these things (minerals & Bowen) that have managed to sustain an improvement for more than a few weeks.

A healthier start to Pregnancy

A healthier start to Pregnancy

I’ve had Bowen Therapy before, mostly for relaxation and general wellbeing. I decided in May 2013 to try Brilliant Living Solutions due to its location. This Bowen treatment seemed to be more beneficial compared to previous treatment.

My partner and I had been trying to start a family and not knowing if this would take a long time it was suggested that Hormonal Bowen treatment might help (with ovulation, etc). Within 3 months I was pregnant and my baby is now due anytime soon (in late May)!!

I also discussed my anxiety, sleeping problems and fluid retention, and the benefits of mineral therapy that would not only benefit me, but the health of my baby. I decided to give it a go as I’m always striving to eliminate my anxiety.

After taking the minerals for about 3-4 weeks I noticed subtle changes: going straight to sleep; better sleep; feeling good at work; thinking less of work and less of unnecessary things; no stomach cramps from food and a less puffy looking face. My anxiety seems to be a thing of the past.

I continued mineral therapy and specific ‘Pregnancy Bowen’ throughout my pregnancy and felt very fit and healthy with no back pain or swelling and sleeping really well. I did include lots of exercise and drinking plenty of water during this treatment. I would highly recommend Bowen Therapy whilst pregnant.

Coping better with Family Relationships

Coping better with Family Relationships

Having a family member being demanding and rude was really getting me down and it felt like a hopeless situation.

After a discussion with Susan she suggested Neuro -Training with Kinesiology .

I am pleased to say that after only one session I am coping far better and have much more confidence in handling the situation.

Amazing Anxiety Results

Amazing Anxiety Results

I thought I’d let you know how I’m going – I am doing really well I am amazed in the way I’m feeling. I feel calm, more relaxed, less stressed and don’t get overwhelmed by little things like mess.

The big change was yesterday I asked my Dad if he felt like he processed things differently since having his stroke - he had a normal conversation with me and there was no awkwardness!

I would have never even imagined to ask him a question like that before Wed. I want to thank you for helping me and I am excited for my next appointment.
Thank you.

Energy and Creativity Restored

There probably is some work to be done with regards my sleep!

I would say it’s better than its been however!

Over all, I have been really good, I’ve had more energy and have seen my creative side coming out which is nice as I’ve always seen myself as not very creative.

Fear of Heights Aced

Fear of Heights Aced

I have been meaning to touch base with you seeing as I faced a height challenge last week and aced it. I did the tree climb in the parklands and did all the challenges with ease. I felt so accomplished and empowered after I finished, it was such a great feeling!
Gentle & Non-Invasive Treatments

Gentle & Non-Invasive Treatments

I consulted Brilliant Living Solutions after my GP suggested I try Bowen. As a result of a fall I experienced pain in my neck, shoulders, back and feet. I also had Plantar Fasciitis with heel and under-foot pain.

After receiving a few treatments the pains disappeared and I was able to walk more freely again.

I fully appreciated the gentleness and non-invasive nature of Bowen Therapy.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

You do remarkable things and I wish more people would see the benefit of it. I cannot believe it...

I was always aware I was checking things, but it was just part of the day! I know it has only been a couple of days but even just now I am out and I thought ‘where are my keys?’… Oh that’s right they are in my pocket.

Normally I’d be in a panic until I find them, or I would have to put my hand in my pocket to feel them, then five minutes later, feel them again to make sure they somehow had not fallen out! Remarkable!

I never realised the impact it used to have.. it has been nice to be able to leave the house and know yes I did turn this off and yes the door is locked.
Thank you so much.

Pain Reduced, Sleeping Improved

Pain Reduced, Sleeping Improved

I tried Bowen for the first time in Jan 2012 as I had suffered from severely aching legs and sciatica since about the age of 11. After many tests and NO results, the doctors seemed to conclude it was 'all in my head' – in other words they were unable to help.

My legs had always been a problem and having a car accident at about 13 didn’t help (ran over my legs). The pain was constant and the only way I could sleep at night was to put my legs up against the wall for 30-40 mins, which would provide some relief (allowing about an hour’s sleep), before I would have to go through the routine again. Not much sleep for years really.

Bowen helped to some degree (certainly with the sciatica), but it wasn’t until I was put onto minerals in January 2013 that I noticed a marked improvement. It was slow at first and I was reassured that if I stuck with it, it should help improve my aching legs and therefore my ability to sleep. Since taking the minerals I’ve noticed improvement in things I didn’t expect. My eczema improved and I no longer bite my nails.

More importantly, as the muscle pain receded my sleeping improved. Within twelve months I was sleeping at least 7-8 hours a night. I no longer had to put my legs up against the wall and pain medication is now seldom required. I can leave off the minerals for longer periods, so I can now see the future being consistently pain free, with quality sleep. The minerals will always be there if needed, but I will no longer be reliant on them like I have been on the drugs.

Relief after Double Injections

Relief after Double Injections

A young woman 31 years old had been required to have the two stipulated injections to continue with her employment. She came to us as she was feeling out of sorts and didn’t quite know what was wrong.

"I am amazed, prior to seeing you Wednesday, I was feeling so far from my usual motivated, ‘able-to-take-things-on’ self. Since I saw you on Wednesday, my anxiety has gone (my heart doesn’t feel like it wants to jump through my chest) and I feel better going to sleep and staying asleep. My husband commented yesterday that I seem a lot calmer. Thank you so much; to not have the constant feeling of anxiety is just so nice."

Following a Booster Shot

Following a Booster Shot

If anyone is having side effects from one of the COVID ‘vaccines’ and is seeking some answers on how to recover from this, my strong recommendation to you is to arrange an appointment for a [Pandemic Support] session with Susan so that she can ask your body what it needs to recover from these and bring your body back to a state where it can heal itself.

After receiving the first two doses of the Pfizer (injections against my wishes, but mandated due to working in the public health system otherwise I would lose my job), I started to get quite sharp neuropathic pain in my hands and feet, along with tiredness, brain fog and a general sense of not feeling right within myself.

Thanks to Susan, a session Pandemic Support has helped the neuropathic pain disappear and the levels of tiredness and brain fog lift somewhat.

However, it was after I received my third dose (booster - also mandated) of the Pfizer that some of these symptoms exacerbated and became extremely debilitating.  The impact of this started within a couple of hours of receiving the booster shot with a wave of tiredness, the level of which I had not ever felt before.  The level of tiredness steadily worsened, as I was unable to sleep properly with constant waking.  This in turn impacted on me further by exacerbating brain fog, lack of concentration and motivation.  By the end of that week [I was so exhausted] it felt like I was dragging a concrete block around behind me, the brain fog was so absolute it was extremely difficult to concentrate or motivate myself to do my job, and it was a mammoth effort just to get out of bed to tackle the day.  I had never felt worse in my entire life!!

Thankfully I had arranged a follow up session with Susan for a week after the booster dose.

After my session, the immediate lift in energy was amazing. I had the first full night’s sleep in what felt like forever and the amount of energy when I woke the next morning was unbelievable!!  The brain fog had lifted, and my concentration was back in full.  Motivation was at an all-time high and work, although extremely busy, felt like it was easy and flowed well, probably due to the improved brain clarity.

What truly tested this was that the weekend after my session I worked an extremely long day at a polling booth for the State Election from 7.00am to 11.00pm, after having worked in my regular full-time job that week.  I truly did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised that I coped extremely well with this, and my energy levels were the same throughout the entire day, despite not having many breaks throughout the long day.

A couple of weeks down the track I am pleased to report that my energy levels are still good, I am still sleeping well and the brain fog has not returned.

I am so grateful to Susan for the time and care she has shown me in my search for a solution to the debilitating effects of this nasty injection.

My fear of flying has disappeared

My fear of flying has disappeared

I have seen Brilliant Living Solutions about 4 times with Neuro-Training which has completely transformed my life.

I had a huge fear of flying (having panic attacks) and this (therapy) has made that all disappear. I found myself being uptight and anxious in day to day duties but this has all resolved. No anxiety or extra stress.

Best thing I ever did! They are both wonderful and caring people too.

General Wellbeing & Oedema

General Wellbeing & Oedema

I came to Brilliant Living Solutions in February 2008. I am in my 70s and have to use a walking frame due to circulation and muscle deterioration problems. At my first visit I was unable to walk very far due to massive fluid retention throughout my body, but especially in my legs and arms. The weight of the fluid made it impossible to raise my arms above shoulder height and it was very difficult to walk. Turning over in bed was also extremely difficult.

After the very first treatment, I was able to raise my arms fully above my head. I was so amazed I burst into tears as I had not been able to do that for many years. It felt so wonderful. I was also able to stand straight and walk more easily.

Later I was treated for fluid retention and it wasn’t long before I had to literally purchase new clothes as the old clothes were now so loose they were falling off me. I lost so much ‘weight’ with the fluid, that walking is much easier; turning over in bed is done with virtual ease. Even my doctor was amazed at the changes in me since I’ve been receiving Bowen on a regular basis.

Due to my condition (previous operation damaged lymph nodes) I will always retain fluid, but with the help of Bowen, and thanks to their suggestions for exercise, better diet and added nutritional support, I have my life back on track and see possibilities for continued improvement more than I ever thought possible, before I came to Susan and Steve’s clinic.

My grief has become healing

My grief has become healing

1. I have just got home from my weekend with family saying farewell to my Grandma.
Thank you so much for what you did for me on Wednesday, I was able to approach the weekend feeling calm and grounded. I encouraged my family to share their memories of Grandma and I shared mine with normal degree of emotion. It feels so good to feel at peace with her passing. Thank you once again for being such an integral part of my healing experience, forever grateful.

2. Just wanted to let you know I am feeling amazing again after seeing you!
Balanced, calm and centered. Sleeping well.

As always, thank you for what you do, eternally grateful to have you in my world.

Astounding Anxiety Results

Astounding Anxiety Results

I knew that I could trust you and came along to my appointment with an open mind and was prepared for change; I needed change.

Little did I know or like to admit I needed some help. I left my first appointment still somewhat uncertain that such a non-invasive treatment session could solve a problem that consumed me every day.

To this day I am astounded by the results and continue to look forward to my appointments with you. I leave your clinic feeling like a new/rejuvenated person. You have made such a positive impact in my life and it is recognised not just within myself but by others close to me.

Never did I think I could find someone that I would feel comfortable to converse with and come to for help. Your gentle nature, genuine interest and your want to help is rare.

You have a true gift. Thank you for everything.

Menstrual cycle realigned

Menstrual cycle realigned

I went to Brilliant Living Solutions complaining of headaches which I would have for a week during menstruation. My periods would last 7 days, were heavy, offensive and contained clots. I was also diagnosed as anaemic (due to the heavy bleeds).

We decided to try hormone treatment and after three months the amount I was losing was reduced by half, with no clots.

The colour had improved, it was no longer offensive and my headaches were reduced and sometimes none at all.

When I checked with my doctor I was no longer anaemic (so therefore did not require the recommended hysterectomy). 10 months later my periods remain unchanged and headaches are minimal.

Thank you!
