The desire for independence, coupled with the bliss of not having to pay any bills or take responsibility for anything. That was the fun part.

Clients often comment that after a Bowen Therapy session they feel much more connected to their body’s biomechanics, emotions and gut instinct. How many times have you said to yourself “I knew I should not have done that” and then suffered the consequences of your actions!

Technology’s amazing. It has a lot to answer for too because I see so many clients who come to me with bad backs from spending too much time on the computer but let’s not worry about that now. Let’s look at the benefits of technology for Bowen therapists. There’s a lot to learn about the body when you’re new to Bowen therapy and even if you’re already a practising therapist.

Fascia’s not main-stream yet but it’s getting there. A new appreciation of fascia has begun throughout the health and well-being industries as a way of explaining and treating injuries, but fascia is something we Bowen therapists have been working with and on for years. You could say we’re fascinated with fascia. Injuries and a wide range of health problems may be treated by working on the fascia, including babies wi

You may have heard of Bowen therapy but be struggling to understand what it really is. Descriptions like ‘holistic’ and  ‘multidimensional’ make a lot of sense to Bowen therapists but less so to the people we treat. So what is Bowen therapy and how will it help you?
