Camelia Pop

After suffering from a painful trapped nerve under my shoulderblade for three weeks which showed no sign of easing I contacted Camelia. Four days after my first treatment I noticed considerable improvement in the condition and now a week after my second treatment the problem is pretty much resolved. I have had great success with back issues in the past using Bowen therapy and formed an instant rapour with Camelia. I would not hesitate to contact Camelia again should the need occur.

Camelia is a miracle worker! I visited Camelia with my baby boy who suffered with colic and struggled so much bringing up his wind after feeds. He was so uncomfortable and strained for a long period of time after his bottles. After 3 sessions of bowen with Camelia my little boy was completely cured! Feeding time is now much calmer and he is able to bring up his wind comfortably with little assistance. Camelia was very professional from the first appointment talking through and demonstrating the movements that she was going to perform on the baby. She was very welcoming and always discussed any progress from week to week. She was gentle and calm with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recomend her to anybody who was going through the same issues with their little ones. Thank you Camelia x.

I went to Camelia when I was going through an emotional stage in my life. Being away from home and family in a foreign country it's not easy at all and it caused me being under too much stress. On top of that, after quite a long treatment for endometriosis that caused me difficulties to get pregnant easy I had an extra boost of stress. Bowen therapy with Camelia helped me find a ballance somehow in my life. She helped me find a state of calmness and positivity that was good for my mental health. She treated me like a good friend instead of her patient. Talking to her helped me find more confidence in myself, it helped me find a state of mind that helped me become a better me. By becoming a better me not long after the sessions with Camelia, I managed to get pregnant. By helping me cope with the constant stress that I was going through, Camelia helped me to be more positive and confident. Having these two things on board and also with the help of God, we are expecting a baby to come into this world soon. I appreciate Camelia as a therapist and as a person too.Moreexpand_more

I visited Camelia after suffering a painful neck and shoulder for a long time, I am really pleased with the results. I have full movement in my neck again and the pain has disappeared in my shoulder. I also have a problem with teeth clenching which causes Jaw stiffness and daily headaches, since starting the treatment I have noticed a great improvement in my symptoms. I feel a lot better in myself and I would recommend Bowen treatment. Camelia is a pleasant person to deal with and offers a great service.

After having my first baby, I developed De Quervain's Tenosynovitis in my left wrist (common in pregnant women / new mums), which causes inflammation and soreness in the tendon sheath and tendons, which can cause pain and swelling in the wrist. Having been to physio and carried out specific exercises for a number of months, and finding no improvement I gave up on my wrist improving for a while but 10 months after it began, I'd had enough. I contacted Camelia to see if she could help. Camelia did some research into De Quervain's before my treatments, and after just the first 2 sessions, I couldn't believe how much better my wrist felt. The swelling had reduced, the soreness and pain lessened and my range of movement improved massively. On top of treating my wrist, Camelia also helped with back ache and improving my posture, and I've been making a conscious effort since the sessions to keep working on my posture. Camelia is professional and welcoming and explains the treatment really clearly and I would recommend trying Bowen with her to anyone.

This therapy absolutely change my life and I still could not believe it how amaizing it is! I can not express in words how I feel! Thank you Camelia and love you to the moon and back!

I had a few sessions with Camelia. The work she did on my pelvis made a significant difference and she offered me lots of really helpful advice about what to do between treatments, which I still continue to use. Bowen has helped me more than physio and chiropractor and I'm very happy to have found Camelia - I love her approach! If I have any issues again, I wont be hesitating to go back. Thank you so much, Camelia! :).

I have had a lot of Bowen over the years but Camelia offers a more holistic and in depth treatment targeting exactly where treatment is needed. I went with back pain but she helped me with many other issues which you don, t expect a Bowen practitioner to help with. Every time I mention anything she will bring out a book to read or point you towards a website that will help with your problem. Not just a physical practitioner, Wholly Holistic. John Grant.

I have suffered chromic lower back pain for seven years and after seeing countless physios, chiropractors and doctors who just kept loading me with stronger pain killers I discovered Bowen therapy amd never looked back. It has completely changed my quality of life and I now function with more movement and less pain than I have had in years. Camelia offers an unhurried caring and professional service that is second to none and it works where so many other treatments have failed. I cannot reccommend this treatment highly enough as its made such a difference to my back problems and my state of well being.

After a visit to my Doctor suffering with severe pain and restricted mobility in my upper arm and shoulder revealed a torn rotator cuff and damaged muscles and told it could take many months to repair, I had been suffering pain and anxiety for over six weeks with no sign of getting any better and after hearing about The Bowen Technique from a friend I went online and found the most experienced and most qualified Bowen Practitioner Camelia Pop in the North of England. Camelia explained everything in detail and the whole experience is very relaxing and very pleasant, and Within 48 hours I was feeling measurably better each day, and with increasing mobility…. Camellia is a dedicated specialist Bowen Practitioner who has many years of experience on Bowen Technique and by practising exclusively the Bowen method you are guaranteed a professional, very skilful, and analytical approach that is extremely successful.

Having been diagnose with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago, approaching 50 and being very unfit after working a desk job for 30+ years I assumed the pain and fatigue that I felt was inevitable and would only get worse, something I would have to live with. That was before I found the Bowen Technique and more importantly Camelia Pop. I was in such agony with Sciatic pain in my leg and hip I was searching for somewhere in my local area to help with just this immediate pain. After reading some of the reviews on another site I decided to give it a go not really knowing what to expect. Suffering from Fibro made me dread that it may be a full on massage, however I need not have worried. The procedure is so gentle I wonder how it even works. Camelia explained everything before the 1st session and that's when we began to talk about ALL my other problems. After the first session the Sciatic pain was gone but that was not all, I slept like a baby and anyone with Fibro will know that is huge. After the next session the fatigue was lifting and my daily 'exhaustion' nap after work was a thing of the past. I clearly remember after the 3rd session I felt so euphoric on the way home, the sun was shining and the realisation that I felt as well in that moment than I had in 20 years. I knew then that it need not be a downward spiral and that thought had me in tears (of joy)…. I continue to see Camelia and things are improving all the time…I now have hope which is life changing…Thank you Camelia and Bowen x.Moreexpand_more

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease in my lower back in 2013, following a car accident in 2011. I was living in constant chronic pain, sciatica and pain in 16 out of the 18 trigger points, and suffered from fatigue which meant I would sleep for 3-4 hours every afternoon (sometimes longer). I have tried every method of treatment available - physio, acupuncture, injections, even surgery but nothing has worked before bowen, and I've been left managing my pain through high doses of strong medication. I was extremely sceptical about whether bowen would be effective, but had nothing to lose by trying it. After 6 sessions I was experiencing a reduction in my widespread pain, and now I'm seeing improvement after every session. My therapist Camelia is lovely, approachable and very knowledgeable, and we will focus on different areas of pain in each session. After 4 months I cannot believe how much life has changed for me - there's been a great reduction in my pain and I have more energy, I no longer need to sleep every afternoon. I've reduced my medication. Friends and family can't believe how much I've improved - bowen has given me a quality of life back! I wholeheartedly recommend people to try it.Moreexpand_more

I have suffered with sleep problems all my life mainly due to stress and being unable to relax. I have great problems in the day because of poor sleep at night. Camelia is very knowledgeable on the conditions she treats and can treat more than one condition at a time. When you first meet Camelia you are made to feel very welcome. Camelia is very understanding and very easy to talk to. When I have Bowen treatment with Camelia I feel so relaxed and worry and stress free. The feelings I have I have never experienced; a relaxed mind-being able to switch off from the world. I don't want the treatment to end. When Camelia enters the room, she does so very calmly, very quietly and does not disturb the deep state of relaxation I am experiencing. I have never felt this deep state of relaxation before. When Camelia has finished her Bowen sessions I feel like a new person. For the first time I can remember I slept 7 hours uninterrupted and could have slept longer. Camelia can treat more than one condition at a time so please make sure you make Camelia aware of other conditions that may be bothering you, even if they are only minor. I would recommend Bowen Therapy with Camelia to anyone for any condition you may have and the after care advice your provided with by Camelia to get the most out of each Bowen Therapy is excellent.Moreexpand_more

I have suffered for many years with Fibromyalgia and general illness associated with this condition. After being recommended by a work college who had great success with his treatment I visited Bowen practitioner Camilla Pop. I had visited several times and after managing years of pain I was amazed at the reduction in my all round well being. My pain reduced to a level where I no longer have trouble with walking and standing. A huge Thank You to Camilla.

After struggling for weeks with a pain in my right leg and not having much success at the doctors I gave Bowen a try - with superb results after just 2 visits. Camelia is a lovely lady who understands and treats you so well. My advice - don't suffer or delay give this a try!

Camelia is a great specialist and a lovely person. She helped my few month old son with his respiratory problems, sleeping issues and to cope with the traumatic birth experience. Camelia's Bowen Technique work had a great effect and even teething is going very smooth now thanks to it. WIth me I have never felt more relaxed after such session. It helped me with detoxifying my body as well as raise the energy level. I will come back to it as soon I will have a chance for sure.

I went to see Camelia with sinus problems and because I was generally feeling fatigued, not sleeping and was very stressed. I had no idea what to expect or whether the Bowen technique would be of any help to me but I thought it worth trying. I am very happy to say that after a few sessions I felt so much better in every way. The sessions in themselves are very relaxing with very little actual contact. Camelia takes lots of time to assess all your problems and concerns and really does attempt to address everything you discuss with her. My sinus problems, fatigue and stress levels are all hugely improved and I would definitely recommend the Bowen technique.

I suffered with a knee injury after completing the Edinburgh marathon 2 years ago. The pain after the marathon was intense and the injury kept coming back whenever I tried to run long distances. Two years later I got a ballot place for the London Marathon and I started to build up the mileage. The pain in my knee was constant when I ran and it even hurt when I just crossed my legs when sat! On one of my longer runs I had to stop and get a lift home, the pain was too much. I love running and I knew there had to be a solution out there. A friend and his wife mentioned that they had both received Bowen therapy for a shoulder problem and a wrist problem that traditional physiotherapy hadn’t been successful on and they had both had brilliant results. I researched and thought it was worth trying. I read Camelia’s reviews and gave her a call. I didn’t really know what to expect on my first session but Camelia explained what Bowen was about and how it worked. I left that first session feeling extremely relaxed but doubting if it would work. I’m glad I stuck with it! I looked forward to each session and left feeling so much more relaxed. My knee pain diminished significantly after the first couple of sessions and my last four runs before the marathon were pain free. Last weekend, I completed the London marathon, all 26.2 miles of it, with absolutely no knee pain during or after! Amazing results to say the knee injury had been a problem for nearly 2 years! Camelia is warm, friendly and caring and I would recommend her to anyone who is willing to try something a bit different. I’m so glad I called Camelia. If I have any injuries or ailments in the future I know who I’ll be ringing!Moreexpand_more

I had suffered lower back pain for a month and a friend recommended I go to see. Camelia. I expected more "hands on" massaging than was given but the treatment was expertly applied and I felt very relaxed and at ease. Camelia gave me lots of aftercare advice and said I should see an improvement within a day or two. Sure enough, after 48 hours the pain had gone and I even ventured back to the gym the following week although I think I have overdone it slightly and I may have to book another appointment with Camelia as I have experienced some of my previous back pain again. Serves me right for being impatient!

Camelia treated my 8 year old son, who had suffered from anxiety since being a toddler, resulting in bowel and urinary problems, poor eating and low weight gain, and difficulty interacting at school and making friendships. For two years he had struggled with a nervous tic of the face, jaw and neck for which a paediatrician had prescribed Diazepam. This prompted me to contact Camelia for a more holistic solution. After only 3 sessions he was noticeably more relaxed and talkative. His social interaction improved at home and in school. He began to smile and have fun again. His facial tic is now rare, but most noticeable is that as the tension has gone out of his face and jaw, his face is now symmetrical and he looks more like he did in baby photos. He enjoyed the sessions and we will continue if required.
