We at Holistic Health Norwest are a group of qualified complementary health professionals who provide preventative health care to our clients and patients.
We feel we are unique in what we offer because we focus on working collaboratively with one another within the Centre. This enables us to offer the best options to our clients and patients in terms of the type and timing of care and is the reason for many successful outcomes.
We believe that in many chronic conditions where the quality of life has or will be affected, a holistic approach must be considered in addition to whatever can be offered by modern western medicine. The holistic approach involves life style choices, education and support, emotional and spiritual nurturing and assistance in addition to the more physically based modalities that we offer.

She obtained her Bowen qualifications via Bowen Training Australia and her techniques follow the original Bowtech or Bowenwork system. She is a lover of natural therapies and is always passionate about holistic health. She can speak English and Mandarin.
Bowen Therapy has been beneficial to both Helena’s clients and herself. It has brought her long lasting reliefs from many chronic pains and discomforts.

She loves to support people for all sorts of health issues and is especially interested in musculoskeletal problems (aches and pains on the body and limbs), posture and gait, migraines, TMJ disorders, neurological disorders, and using Mind-Body Bowen to offer insight and awareness into clients’ own wellbeing.
Helena strives to improve herself both as a practitioner and an individual by regularly attending courses and seminars on a variety of health topics. She cares about her own health as well as others, and seeks to find the most effective ways in restoring the body’s innate ability to heal whilst helping her clients to recover.
Other than her passion for Bowen Therapy, Helena enjoys spending time with her husband, catching up with friends, being outdoors, immersing herself in nature, reading books and growing plants.
