Bowen Therapy is amazing for settling a nervous system back to ‘rest and digest’ mode.

Below is another therapy that is massively calming on one's nervous system and can take just minutes. It is called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping.

This new book co-written by 3 siblings is an outstanding book and available on Amazon if you wish to seek a copy. Mine just arrived in the mail this week, and I am impressed.

Easy self-help tools are what most of us need. So with just the layout cost of one book, you get years of bite-size help parcels.

I encourage you to look after you. If this resonates, you're welcome. :)

It’s always a delight to meet other family members of my clients.

This gorgeous girl, M, has just become my youngest client ever, presenting with pain which remained unresolved after a few consultations elsewhere.

With just two sessions M seems to be more settled and sleeping much better, as per a delighted household. I look forward to hearing more about how she progresses over coming days.

Feeling grateful.

A great man getting well deserved acknowledgment on his birthday anniversary.

Today we honour the life and legacy of Tom Bowen.

A man of quiet presence, deep care, and extraordinary dedication to helping others. Tom devoted his life to serving those in need, often working tirelessly, day after day, guided by something far greater than ambition.

This is a combination of original images and respectful AI recreations, shared to honour and highlight Tom’s work.

What he left behind is more than a technique. It is a movement, inspired by a line from one of his favourite quotes:
“Any good that I can do, let me do it now.”

Bowen Therapy has become a living body of work that continues to support, restore, and transform lives around the world.

His approach reminds us that less can be more. That gentleness can be powerful. And that true healing often arises not from force, but from listening… from allowing the body the space to respond in its own time.

Today, we acknowledge not only what Tom Bowen did, but who he was.

A pioneer. A servant. A genius. A man deeply connected to the innate intelligence of the human body.

His legacy lives on through every practitioner, every client, and every moment of stillness where healing unfolds.

Happy Birthday, Thomas Ambrose Bowen
18 April 1916 – 28 October 1982

Scar tissue release work can bring profound and unexpected benefits for some. Definitely worth a try if you have a condition you feel may respond.

“The body never forgets… but it also never stops trying to resolve.”For years, scars were treated as cosmetic end points, closed wounds, finished stories. But clinically, and repeatedly, we are seeing something very different.Old scars…decades-old caesarean sections…surgical wounds long .....

Exciting news - I am finally in a position to announce my launch into Clare!!

I am taking appointments from Friday 10th of April, working on Mondays and Fridays.

Get in touch to book in. Ask me how I may be able to help and come and find out.

A few sessions is all most people need.

I look forward to being of service in the Clare region.

What does a Bowen Therapy treatment look like? A lot like this.

Today I volunteered at my son’s school Sports Day, helping any children that required or just wanted it.

Of course a few parents jumped on the table for help with a sore neck or shoulder issue also! Luckily there were gaps when the children were all busy with events, so they could. :)

Dear friends, clients, colleagues,

It has come time for me to start a new chapter of my life, and to focus on other areas of life (non-work) that need my attention.

I have spoken to some of you over recent weeks and let you know that I will be closing my practice as of the end of August.

This decision has been prompted in part by the need to exit my premises by the end of the month as lengthy renovations are beginning. Other life events and priorities have also been steering me towards change.

For any clients who know me well, if you struggle to find a new practitioner who can assist you with your specific needs, please let me know as I may be able to recommend a colleague with similar training, or perhaps recommend an exercise that will help. So do reach out if you really get stuck.

I wish everyone the very best health and wellness, and I hope that you find another practitioner who can help with your physical well-being requirements into the future.

Kind regards,
Grace :)

Sometimes clients would like just a short session to try to resolve pain. Granted sometimes I can do enough in a short session (though there will always be more I find that needs addressing that got them into that state). A longer session (standard hour or sometimes more) is often required to check all body patterns that may be contributing to a complex condition, to resolve the root cause.
This video is fantastic at explaining why sometimes a deep core flexor muscle will not simply relax and stay relaxed. And why many therapists address it wrongly (and too aggressively) in trying to relax it.

It’s a bit technical for some audience but I think many here may still find it useful. I did, so wanted to save it somewhere.. so here it is 🙂

I see this a LOT. And help with it a lot :)

Areas of referred pain are NOT where the problem is. However, if enough time goes by, the referral area can BECOME a problem, often developing adhesions and inflammation. A common example is the deltoid area hurting due to referral from the rotator cuff.

Why do we tend to feel so good after Bowen Therapy? Gentle touch and bodywork have a direct impact on lowering the stress hormones that create "flight/flight/freeze," and can boost "feel-good" neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin.
