In a calm and relaxing environment, I will ask you about your medical history and discuss the reasons for your visit.  For certain conditions I may request approval from your GP before you receive any Bowen.

​

In your Bowen session, you can either lie on a couch or, alternatively, be seated if this is more comfortable for you.

My Couch is fully adjustable to suit all mobility restrictions

​

Bowen work is carried out directly on the skin or through light clothing, according to your preference; you will be covered appropriately with towels or blankets.

​

Bowen sessions typically last 45-60 minutes. Your first session, which includes a consultation covering medical history and assessments, and your full body Bowen procedures is likely to be 60-90 minutes for the first session.

The amount of work done within a session will be determined by your condition. 

 

Children often don’t need much work at all as their body’s response rate appears to be much faster.

I will always ask for a parent or carer to be present during any session for children under the age of 16 and vulnerable adults.

​

Breaks

 

I will frequently step away or out of the room to avoid distraction while your body accepts and responds to the moves that are made. These breaks can be from about two minutes upwards and are essential to the process.

 

As muscles relax and circulation flows more freely you may notice sensations such as:

• warmth

• tingling

• pressure

• lightness

• heaviness

 

Often sensations are very subtle during the session and changes become more noticeable in the hours and days afterwards.

​

Water

After your session it is important to drink plenty of water to help hydrate your body’s muscles and connective tissue.

​

How many sessions might you need?

On average the number of treatments required to see significant change is around 3 to 4. although some issues can be resolved in only one session, others who present with chronic conditions may require regular treatments to maintain the improvement. You do not have to wait until you feel unwell or are in pain to benefit from therapy. 

Each Bowen session needs to be between 5 and 10 days apart.

Where do you go?

The Bowen sessions take place in my treatment room, but home visits may be arranged under certain circumstances.
