About – Jenny Eleni Health

International Bowen Therapist and educator

Hi! Thank you being here. Being healthy and using my hands as a healing tool has been a part of my life and who I am in practice and spirit. I have been a manual therapist for 15 years, dedicating my work primarily with the Bowen technique, accompanied with complementary soft tissue techniques learnt during my career. My experience includes studies and professional work in Australia and overseas, presentations and workshops at fascia congresses in Argentina (2014 & 2015) and Bodywork congress in Spain (2016).

Yoga & movement

I have been a student of Iyengar-based yoga classes in Melbourne for over 10 years, and an advocate for integrating movement practices with manual therapy; also trained in Therapeutic Yoga, (Australia). Recently I am thrilled to have found kettlebells training, a perfect complement to yoga practice.

Meditation

Meditating takes me out of my analytical mind, out of my external environment and transports me within: the space where change can truly happen. Meditation helps me to cultivate a sense of calm and quiet coupled with creation, which, through daily repetition has the power to transform me into a balanced Being of love and light. This is who we are, at our very core.

Healthy lifestyle

Embodying health, wellness and staying active has always been a priority in my life. Not as an obligation, but a joy and respect for the body and its remarkable abilities – our vehicle to experience life. Incorporating three key elements in mind-body health has helped me to stay strong, balanced and healthy.

Testimonials

"My session with Jenny was transformative! It was the first time I had experienced Bowen therapy so I had no expectations, however I knew I was in good hands because Jenny has a wealth of knowledge and experience. I found her adept at reading my body and treating accordingly. For years, my pelvis had been slightly skewed, which Jenny picked up on straightaway."

Leigh

Writer

"Without question, there is something special and magical about Jenny. Of course she has lots of body knowledge, and has really mastered her technique, with it's astonishing soft touch, firm manipulations, and then magical pauses. During those pauses, the other side of her work, call it affective or spiritual, has its effects. Along with all the positive emanations during the massage itself, in the pauses, Jenny's 'healing wilfulness' is able work its wonders".

Edward

Teacher

"To know Bowen Therapy through Jenny Petridis's hands was, for me, an auspicious and promising beginning. With her hands and fingers that, not only touched but observed and listened to my skin and muscles, I could feel a huge sensation of freedom in my whole body. Each movement was preceded by explanations and followed by her caring. Bowen Therapy is really impressive! With small and few movements we can realize so many big changes in our body, and create a possibility to move with more grace and awareness."
