The Path Was Not A Straight Line…
For Angela Bauer, the path to creating Transcend Healing wasn’t a straight line… but it was always guided by one thing: a deep desire to help people live a better life.
From Corporate Burnout to Conscious Healing
Angela spent years in corporate and government roles… but every time she returned to that world, something didn’t sit right. “I kept burning out,” she says. “It just wasn’t fulfilling me anymore.”
The pull toward something more meaningful had always been there… As far back as her early 20s studying computer science at university her yearning to learn more and be more had her enrol in many courses and groups including Landmark education, NLP, hypnotherapy, EFT, TimeLine, Change management, masculine and feminine polarity, spiritual consultancy and aroma therapy and talked about owning a retreat space.
But it was during a Christmas trip to Cairns, where she saw the impact of spinal flow therapy firsthand, that everything clicked. “I just knew… this was it. This was the work that could help me make a real difference.”
Within months, she’d enrolled in training, moved from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast, and launched Transcend Healing.
The Power of Her Own Space
When asked about her proudest moment, Angela doesn’t hesitate. “This space,” she says, gesturing around her peaceful Transcend Healing clinic. “Having a physical space that’s mine… where I get to do what I love… that’s been massive.”
Starting from home… moving through shared spaces… and eventually finding the right place to grow – all of it reflects her resilience and determination. “Just surviving the first 18 months of business… that’s an achievement in itself.”
Advice From the Journey
Angela’s advice to other business owners is both thoughtful and grounded:
- Stop comparing… “You never know where others are really at. Comparison kills your confidence and energy.”
- Keep learning… Always be working on yourself, your systems, your mindset.
- Surround yourself with people ahead of you… “You can’t do this alone,” she says. “You need people who’ve already walked the path – not just those still figuring it out beside you.”
What People Get Wrong About Spinal Flow
Most people assume spinal flow is just about relieving physical pain… but it’s much more than that. “It’s not just about back pain or neck pain,” Angela explains. “It’s about optimising your whole system – physical, emotional, and chemical – so you can live with vitality and resilience.”
Spinal flow supports healing from the inside out… not just masking symptoms. But in a world where people want quick fixes, that can be a hard sell. “Even when people start to feel better, they think they’re healed… but real healing takes time.”
What’s Next for Transcend Healing?
Angela is excited for what’s ahead… not just because of what she’s building, but because of what she’s leaving behind.
“I never want to do the last two years again,” she says, referencing the strain of a marriage separation alongside business growth. “But now… I feel like I have a solid foundation.”
The next three years hold promise – expanding the clinic… bringing in new practitioners… hosting retreats… and launching deeper collaborations within the growing spinal flow community. “It feels like the snowball has started rolling downhill… and it’s gaining momentum.”
What Drives Angela?
“Personal growth,” she says without hesitation. “I’ve never wanted an ordinary life. I want to be challenged… to keep growing… to help more people… and to live a life that feels deeply fulfilling.”
