Sandra Gustafson

Sandra Gustafson was trained in Bowenwork by the founders of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia, Ossie and Elaine Rentsch, and has been an accredited Bowenwork practitioner since 1991.

In 1994, she became an instructor for the BTAA, and taught classes in Australia until 1999. She now teaches in the USA, where she resides. Sandra is a Registered Nurse who specialized in Intensive Care Nursing until 2001. She is also a trained Naturopathic Practitioner.

These days, she works in a medical practice of Integrative Neurology, and uses Bowenwork extensively, to support her clients. She has been actively involved in establishing Bowenwork Academy USA, the teaching arm of Bowenwork in the United States, and has served as President from 2005 to 2007.

Sandra's interests lie in presenting Bowenwork to mainstream healthcare practitioners and facilities in order to encourage the incorporation of the technique into conventional healthcare programmes. To this end she has presented this work to the Integrative Health faculty at Mayo Clinic in 2005 and many other medical and health support groups.

She is currently completing a post-registration Bachelor of Nursing Science degree at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia.
