Hi, my name is Courtney Kafka, and I am a Bowen Therapist and MSTR® Scar Therapist.
I’m passionate about health and pain management because I’ve had to overcome a lifetime of pain, discomfort, and other health challenges.
The discomfort and pain pushed me to search for solutions. Bowen Therapy and MSTR Scar Therapy allow me to help others on their journey.
My desire has always been to help people grow and push past their barriers, both physically and mentally.
I offer a holistic approach, a balanced approach to your individual needs.
I first visited a Bowen Therapist years ago to help with pain from a childhood bike accident. It made a big difference, so I kept going for regular sessions.
In 2015, I became a certified Personal Trainer and started working full-time at a gym in Vancouver. I enjoyed helping people move better and feel stronger. However, after a few months, I developed severe back pain from myofascial tension, which kept me from working for three months.
I tried many treatments, like chiropractic care and physiotherapy, but nothing seemed to help.
I noticed that many of my clients were also dealing with back pain. I wanted to support them, but I felt frustrated because I didn’t have the right tools.
In my search for relief, I decided to book another session with my Bowen Therapist in Vancouver.
After just three treatments, something incredible happened – I got off the table, bent forward, and touched my toes for the first time in three months. I was amazed!
That moment changed everything for me. I realized I wanted to learn Bowen Therapy myself, so I could help others just as it helped me.
Since becoming a Bowen Therapist, I have mainly worked with people recovering from injuries. However, Bowen Therapy is not just for injuries. It can support healing in many areas of the body and benefit a wide range of people.
