David J. Howells David J. Howells

DC (OCC). Cert.Ed. MAMCST. Hon. MBTPA.

David Howells was born in South Wales and grew up on his family's farm. He initially began his career in agricultural engineering. Qualifying as a teacher in 1979, he went on to lecture in agricultural and further education colleges.

After he sustained a number of physical
injuries from rugby and aikido, David began to seek alternative treatments to orthodox medicine and initially found relief through Chiropractic treatment. This approach intrigued him, as such led to a change in direction resulting in him successfully qualifying as a Chiropractor.

In 1994 David's career path diversified again when he trained in The Bowen Technique. He was impressed by Bowen's methodology and results, which alleviated a whole host of physical problems ranging from acute injuries to chronic and long standing conditions.

In 2002, David trained and qualified in the Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) which, he now uses extensively alongside Bowen and Chiropractic in his busy natural
healthcare clinic.

He has previously taught both Bowen based techniques and brings decades of clinical experience to the teaching of the Hormonal course.
