BOWEN THERAPY - AN AUSTRALIAN REMEDIAL TREATMENT
Named after Tom Bowen, who developed the technique in Geelong, Australia, in the 1950s, Bowen Therapy is a gentle, relaxing treatment to encourage tight muscles to release and relax, also known as The Bowen Technique
​
I studied in Australia to the highest level currently available in the Bowen Technique, but draw on my background spanning over thirty years in other modalities. My approach to Bowen Therapy is primarily for relaxation of the body, mind and spirit. Breathing Techniques and Mindfulness are incorporated into my treatments to encourage a shift from flight, flight or freeze, into rest, digest and repair mode
​
Bowen therapy addresses the body holistically. Experience the gentle and non-invasive approach of Bowen therapy or Aromatherapy Massage, tailored to your individual needs with a grounding and nourishing treatment. ​​With both modalities promoting relaxation and encouraging natural healing through soothing the nervous system and reducing pain, help may be experienced for hot flushes, tiredness, anxiety, sleeplessness, aches and pains. I have a special interest in supporting women with chronic fatigue, mild stress, mild anxiety, poor posture, mild pain, auto immune disease and throughout the menopause
Unwind, relax and experience the self-care you deserve

MIND BODY BOWEN
​
Mind Body Bowen (MBB) is a specialised session which is helpful when a client isn’t getting lasting results from hands-on therapies such as massage, when they feel out of balance in their mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing and/or if they’d like to explore the messages their body may be trying to give them
​
MBB helps clients mindfully tune into sensations felt in the body which are clues to where restriction or blockages are residing, helping unlock areas of tension in the body. Another way a MBB session differs from 'regular' Bowen Therapy, is by working more slowly, listening to feedback from the client and utilising energy concepts such as chakras, and meridians and their links to muscles groups
​
Experience the transformative power of Mind Body Bowen, where the Bowen Technique harmonizes the mind-body connection to promote holistic well-being. These specialized sessions are designed to release stress, unlock tension, and help you tune into your body's sensations, facilitating lasting relaxation and balance
​​​
​WHAT TO EXPECT IN A BOWEN THERAPY SESSION
During the treatment, chatter is discouraged, to encourage a shift into the part of the nervous system where deep rest occurs. At the end of your Bowen treatment, you'll relax on the massage table for up to fifteen minutes. This time is very much a part of your experience, offering peace and time to soak up the experience , time for your body to adjust to the treatment and start bringing about balance in the tone of muscles in the front, back and sides of the body before you go about your day again. ​Sessions then conclude with a complimentary water or herb tea
