"When I started the Comprehensive Holistic Nurse, Nurse Coach & Consultant certificate program, I never imagined that that my view of my independent nursing practice would be transformed (and continues to evolve) through the knowledge gained in CIINDE program."

Janet Riley

RN, HWNC-BC®

Bowen Training Academy/Bowen Pain Clinic

Cohort 1 Graduate

The majority of my career has been in independent practice offering complementary therapies to clients and teaching programs to allied health care professionals and the general public including Bowen Therapy, EFT and Reiki. My position as an RN at the Maharishi Ayurveda Health Centre in Ottawa in the 1980's included providing education to clients and staff delivering rejuvenation therapies and follow up care through the lens of Ayurveda. Prior to this I worked in orthopaedics and geriatric rehab in Edmonton, Alberta and Toronto.  

Business Overview

As sole proprietor of Bowen Pain Clinic I offer nursing services to clients seeking pain and symptom relief and guidance on the path to a more balanced life. I began my practice in the early 2000's and have been offering Bowen Therapy, EFT and Reiki in independent nursing practice since then. As a board certified Holistic Nurse and Nurse Coach I am able to offer clients a holistic approach to well-being that includes an integrative approach to health.

I am a senior instructor with the Bowen therapy by the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia and launched Bowen Training Academy in 2010. I teach Bowen therapy to allied health professionals including certification and advanced-level instruction. My focus on teaching nurses Bowen therapy through a nursing lens led to the development of Building Bowen Business for Nurses, a program that supports nurses in developing their own independent practices.

The CIINDE program for holistic nursing, nurse coaching and consulting has given me the foundation to present my nursing practice as an important part of today's health care system offering clients the support, encouragement and hope that their health status can improve with an integrative approach that impacts all ways of being. Mentoring nurses in learning Bowen therapy and other integrative approaches such as EFT Through the Nursing Lens allows me to pay it forward to future generations of nurses improving health care outcomes for future generations.
