I won’t make promises, but if you’re dealing with aches, stiffness, or just not moving as easily as you used to, Bowen Therapy might be worth a try.

With no cracking, no pulling, no twisting - and no need to remove clothing - it’s a gentle, hands-on treatment designed to help your body find a better balance. It’s not about forcing change; it’s about giving your body a nudge in the right direction so it can do what it does best - heal and restore itself.

What is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen Therapy is a hands-on treatment using targeted, gentle movements over connective tissue (think muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia). The goal? To get to the root cause of your discomfort, ease tension, improve movement, and help you feel more comfortable in your daily life.

So if any of this sounds like what you need, Bowen might be worth a shot!

What Happens in a Bowen Session?

Every session starts with a chat about you - your body, your lifestyle, and what’s been bothering you. (Spoiler alert: The spot that hurts isn’t always the source of the problem!)

I then use small, precise movements over key areas of your body. These moves work on muscles, fascia, and soft tissue, aiming to release tension and improve function. When your body starts to respond, I step back for a minute or two, giving it time to process and adjust; because sometimes, less is more.

Will Bowen Work for You?

As I said, I won’t make any promises, but here’s the thing, Bowen isn’t about an endless cycle of treatments. This means you’ll know within 3-4 sessions if it’s making a difference. If it’s working, great! If not, I won’t waste your time (or money) chasing results that aren’t coming.

How My Clients Use Bowen

A lot of my clients come to Bowen after trying everything else. Many see it as their last hope, many finding it gives them the relief they’ve been searching for.

Most people leave their session feeling looser, lighter, taller and more comfortable. Some feel the difference right away, while for others, it takes a couple of sessions to settle in.

For many, three treatments are all they need to get back to feeling good, and after that I may never see them again. But more are starting to use Bowen as part of their regular self-care routine - helping them stay mobile, active, and doing the things they love.

Common Questions About Bowen Therapy

👉 Do I need to undress? Nope! Bowen is done fully clothed—just wear something loose and comfortable (no jeans or lycra).

👉 How often do I need treatments? Typically, we start with three sessions, spaced a week apart. And for many that’s enough. Some people continue with maintenance sessions every 3-8 weeks, while others just book in when they feel they need it.

👉 Does Bowen hurt? Some areas might feel tender if they’re especially tight, but I always work within your comfort zone. If it’s too much, we back off. And there is never any pulling, cracking or twisting!

👉 How long are the treatments & how much do they cost? Your first session lasts up to an hour and costs £63. Follow-ups are £53 and last 30-45 minutes.
