Rebecca RobertsLike many Bowenwork practitioners, I did not set out thinking it would be my life's work. My interest in complementary medicine was sparked in my teens after a serious car accident left me with residual symptoms, including migraines, TMJ and hip issues. I discovered Bowenwork through friend and colleague, Juliet Altham, and was deeply inspired to become a practitioner after my first session. It was different from any other bodywork I had experienced before - its 'moves' gentle and similar to acupressure, but with pauses in between the moves which allow the body to integrate the work. The session itself was calming and I felt the side benefits of improved sleep and reduced anxiety for several days afterwards. At the time, I was skeptical that such light touch could make a lasting difference, but as I continued with sessions and noticed my familiar symptoms start to dissipate, I became fascinated by Bowenwork and its ability to help the body heal itself, even after all these years.
Bowen interests me because, rather than imposing upon the body, it works with the body. When given proper time and space to do so, the body will naturally find its way back to balance. It is because of this philosophy that I dedicated myself to train and certify with the American Bowen Academy, under the mentorship of Ainslee Farrington, and formally joined Maine Bowen in 2019. I have since achieved over 500 hours of professional training and certification in specialized procedures. I am consistently amazed by the physical and emotional impact Bowen technique has for my clients. As a practitioner, I bring knowledge and intention to my work and strive to help others recognize their own capacity to heal. |
