Ben Calder - Integral Health

Having known Ben for a number of years, as a mentor, facilitator and tutor, I would always recommend him. Most recently I attended one of his brilliant Embracing Your Shadow weekends, one of the most valuable workshops I have been on. This was the 3rd time! Not only is the content amazing, Ben holds the space incredibly well, knowing when to challenge and when to encourage, allowing for powerful transformation and self-awareness. If you are interested in self help, self healing, self awareness and self development this workshop is essential!

I have been a client of Ben's since 2003/4 when I was diagnosed with a fairly serious thyroid disorder. I had been quite unwell with this for a long time and even after diagnosis and treatment, I was still not feeling at all well. A friend suggested I visit Ben for a consultation and follow up with kinesiology. From the time of my first visit, my life was turned around. I actually got my life back after living in a fog for such a long time. The treatment and the good sound advice given to me by Ben, certainly got my life back on track. I didn't have to see him after a while for a number of years and then about 4/5 years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis in the base of my spine. I decided to visit Ben again and I'm so glad that I did. Again, this was a turning point for me. I have Bowen treatment and only have to have a visit every 8 weeks or so and again, the treatment and advice given by Ben have made a huge difference to my life. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I have received treatment from Ben for various reasons, migraines and post-cancer operation etc during the last 14 years. Each time I went to him to start treatment I had begun to feel desperate and wonder if I would ever recover! So I feel indebted to his professional and effective methods that have helped me in so many ways.

I've struggled with my hip for a long time, and following a few moans and groans to Ben, he suggested I come and pay him a visit! Well.. a few sessions later, and a few weeks of rest went by and I'm running better and faster than ever!! It's made such a difference, and whilst I think it will always be a niggle I need to watch out for, I've seen a noticeable difference in my performance and it's down to Ben. Ben is friendly, super positive, and always greets you with a great big smile but is still very professional. I highly recommend paying Ben a visit, and seeing how he can help!!

I've been working with Ben for just over a year now and have found his support incredibly helpful. Most recently, Ben has taught me specific techniques for managing emotional response and staying calm and in control during moments of extreme pressure. Ben's walk and talk sessions are fantastic and I would highly recommend him!

I can highly highly recommend Ben , he has helped me enormously over the last year. He is very easy to work with, kind and understanding and has an astounding wisdom and knowledge . He truely helps you to a higher state of health and awareness

Before I had a series of Bowen sessions I had lived with lower back pain and discomfort for over ten years, I just accepted that I had a weakness which required me to take care when lifting and sitting for long periods of time. However, when my lower back completely froze and showed no sign of recovery, I knew that I needed to seek help and guidance. I chose the Bowen technique as I wanted to be treated by a practitioner who understood that the body is a whole system, and to heal requires to be treated as such. The technique itself is not invasive or stressful on the body as the underlying approach is that with the right support, time and gentle encouragement the body can heal. I had four Bowen sessions each about three weeks apart, after the first session I felt a notable difference in my posture and in the strength of my spine, strangely I felt taller, and as the weeks progressed Ben very skilfully addressed a variety of tension points that were connected to the stress and strain I was unintentionally placing on my lower back; in trying to prevent by back pain I was actually placing overexertion on other areas. By the fourth session I knew that my discomfort had been resolved and I am now able to move much more freely and flexibly without worrying about my back. Like everything in life there are no miracle cures but by working with the body and supporting the healing process through a gentle process of muscle movement, I found that Ben's professionalism and expertise of the Bowen technique worked for me.

Referred a colleague to Ben's team at a time of serious distress. Whatever the processes afterwards, the results were quickly evident and very positive. Well recommended.

Ben helped me prepare for a marathon. His advice, training and integral health techniques were a revelation. Not to mention his positive energy and focus. I would definitely recommend Ben for anyone who is looking to improve their health or work towards a specific goal.

I have found these sessions really helpful, adapting to my needs and helping me to make positive improvements in my life. Ben is extremely personable and I'd highly recommend his services.
