Bowenwork
I am a Bowen practitioner, certified with the American Bowen Academy. My clients come to me for help with a huge range of health issues, from chronic migraines to sciatica, asthma to PTSD. Some come just to regain their sense of balance and well-being. I also work on old injuries and fresh trauma - treatment for concussion is one of the most important procedures I can offer (treatment as soon as possible after an injury - preferably before a night's sleep - will ensure the best effectiveness). Often a fresh injury will only need one or two sessions to help it resolve, whereas clients with chronic or complex conditions may need treatment over the longer term.

What is Bowen...?
Bowenwork is an extremely gentle yet effective bodywork therapy. It involves a series of small, precise moves over muscles or tendons that stimulate the body's own healing process. Working at the level of superficial fascia, Bowenwork is a holistic approach to healing and can evoke a powerful physical and /or psychological response. It has been found to help a wide range of indications, from back pain to headaches, depression to anxiety. The technique's light touch makes it safe to be used on everyone, including newborns, elderly people or those compromised by chronic pain. It can also be used either immediately following an injury or pre-and post-surgery to aid recovery.

Sessions
Bowenwork can be performed either on skin or over one light layer of clothing, with the client usually lying relaxed on a massage table. If necessary however, clients may remain seated. I will work on clients who are in a wheelchair or confined to bed and can sometimes do home visits for urgent cases. Sessions generally last up to an hour, depending on the needs of your body on a particular day, but treatment of children can be done in less time. Ideally a set of 2 - 5 sessions will be booked about a week apart, so that the body has the best chance of keeping its 'healing mode' momentum.
