About Me

Teresa’s love and interest in the healing arts and belief in living a holistic healthy life has been with her for over 40 years. After 35 years of experience as a business professional at the university, not-for-profit and entrepreneurial level, she moved to Flagstaff, Arizona and started her final career. Now she is living her dream and sharing the joy of hope with clients as an Accredited Professional Bowenwork Practitioner. 

Twenty-five years ago Teresa’s medical challenges, including a diagnosis of fiber cystic breast disease and structural issues from sitting at computers for many hours, led to research into holistic health solutions. No one had the answers to relieve the symptoms she suffered, and after 15 years the thought of developing breast cancer via the cysts loomed heavy. Through faith, research and persistence she discovered the truth about the imbalances of her body and implemented several holistic approaches making her recovery a reality.Finally, after 25 years and her first normal mammogram, she has found Bowen is her first choice for overall bodily balance and wellness. Teresa is active as a member of the American Parkinson’s Disease Assoc. in the Flagstaff Parkinson’s Disease Support Group and volunteers for Northland Hospice.

Thanks to Aleia O’Riley and Further Shore the Danion Brinkley Twilight Brigade training comes to Flagstaff where Teresa received additional end of life training. She is a Further Shore Approved Practitioner.

Additional volunteer work includes Community Emergency Response Team member for Coconino County (CERTS) and a board member of the Northern Arizona Gerontolgy Association (NAGA). National volunteer work also keeps her busy as Publications/Web Editor and Marketing Committee Chair of the American Association of Bowenwork Practitioners (AABP).

She has also completed workshops by NACA, NACOG and Bowenwork classes on aging, birth, pregnancy, Sports Bowen and Bowen for Immobile, Stroke Care and Chronic Fatigue as a continued commitment to the knowledge needed to serve her clients.

In her twenties, spare time was spent studying herbal medicine and yoga, which then led to procuring knowledge as a Reiki and Shamballa Reiki Master. Continuing to obtain knowledge over the years she became a Reconnection Healing Practitioner and now receives continued training in Advanced Bowenwork, essential oils and herbs. 

Teresa’s clients have ranged from infants to the elderly, with results from ‘a sigh of relief’ to awe-inspiring. She looks forward to when, in the U.S., Bowenwork is a household word and a natural part of an individual’s preventive care as it is in other parts of the world.
