Interviewing Paula Esson on Bowen Technique and Neurophysiology for the BTPA
5 JUL. 2024 · In the next of our series of interviews with key figures and teachers in the world of Bowen, it is our great pleasure to share our interview with Paula Esson.
Paula has been an exceptional example of tenacity and diligence when it comes to getting Bowen into the more mainstream focus and use in the NHS. Having pioneered the Northern Integrative Health Practice (NHIP) a collaborative partnership between the NHS and a multi-disciplinary team for chronic pain management, Paula has led the way in helping Bowen gain the recognition it really deserves.
Paula talks about her development, coming from a sports science background, through to her current role working with elite footballers and her fascination with neuroscience and the role it plays in Bowen Technique.
It was so great to chat with Paula again, having been taught by her in my Sport 1 and 2 modules and having the greatest of respect for how she conducts herself and what a credit to the world of Bowen she is.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we did to film it. Paula has also been very generous (as she always is) to be available to anyone wanting to learn more about Bowen and the benefits it can give.

Phil is the brains behind the most recent School of Bowen in the UK Assessment Led Bodywork Training which has been partly inspired by his work with Graham Pennington, who Phil spent time with in Australia and was encouraged by Graham to develop his approach to teaching.
We explore why he's taken this approach to training in the interview Phil also teaches the "Fine Tuning the Neck" workshops, a recognised CPD class with both the BTPA and CBS and we discuss the importance of that work in his expression of Bowen.
This was another really fascinating interview to undertake and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Interviewing Michael Nixon Livy NST for the BTPA
27 MAY. 2024 · I'm really excited to share the first of a series of interviews I'm doing for the the Bowen Therapy Professional Association (BTPA) to talk with some of the major researchers and developers of Bowen Technique to support both students and practitioners of Bowen Technique and for the public to have a better understanding of Bowen Technique and associated developments in body work.
In this first interview, I talk with Michael Nixon-Livy, who has developed NST (Neurostructural Integration Technique) and the significant and important Osteospinal seminars that underpin his work. It was fascinating to hear about Michael's history and how his practice developed and was influenced by various fields in his early development.
We talk about some of the differences between classical Bowen and NST and where Michael feels the field of body work is going and what we should be looking towards over the next 10 years.

Waking the 5 Element Spirits an Interview with Sai Calder
20 MAY. 2024 · I'm really grateful to have an opportunity to talk with my brother Sai Calder, the founder of LifeForce Qigong, about his Qigong practice and how it's evolved over the years. We talk about how he has developed LifeForce Qigong and why he felt this was a requirement for his health and well-being, his journey in self-development. We also talk about his 2024 visit to the UK and the residential retreat he'll be holding in Trigonos in Snowdonia, North Wales, entitled "Waking the 5 Element Spirits - A Light of the Inner You"
Embarking on an expansive journey through the realms of Qigong and personal growth, my brother, Sai Calder, and I delve into the intricate fabric of Life Force Qigong, a practice deeply entwined with the essence of vitality and consciousness. Sai is set to lead an immersive retreat titled “Waking the 5 Elements Spirits: A Light of the Inner You” from September 2nd to 6th, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Snowdonia in the UK, at Trigonos. This venue promises an enriching experience with its stunning views, organic culinary offerings, and opportunities for lake swimming amidst the natural beauty. Sai’s journey with Qigong has been a lifelong expedition, beginning in his youth, influenced by various teachers and practices including yoga and meditation. This path has taken him across the globe, from the UK and Europe to India, Thailand, and eventually Bali, attracting many to the profound energetic practices he’s mastered. Sai describes Qigong as a life passion that offers holistic benefits, encompassing health, spiritual connection, and personal evolution. This commitment to Qigong, Sai notes, is akin to investing in a lifelong venture that continually enriches his life.

The Power of Qi Gong With Ben Calder
11 OCT. 2023 · In this episode, I was really grateful to be interviewed by Laura Mac from Transforming you Live to talk about LifeForce Qigong.
We touched on a few other aspects of my work, including Bowen Technique, Kinesiology and the Epigenetics as well as the qigong.
As you all know Qi Gong is the deeper passion, that enriches my life and therefore my interaction in the world around me which therefore has a benefit on everyone else’s life as well.
