Kiewa Valley Bowen Therapy

Kiewa Valley Bowen Therapy Hi. I'm Sheridan and I'm a qualified Bowen Therapy Practitioner in the beautiful Kiewa Valley, Victoria.

I am also a current member of the Bowen Association of Australia. Bowen Therapy is an Australian-developed technique, that has been used for over 70 years. It is now well accepted globally as a gentle holistic treatment. Bowen therapy is a remedial body technique that works on the mechanoreceptors and fascia (soft connective tissue) of the body. Bowen therapy can be used to treat musculoskeletal or related neurological problems including acute sports injuries and a wide range of chronic conditions. It is a gentle and relaxing modality and does not use forceful manipulation. It also restores balance to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and helps the body’s own healing resources to achieve equilibrium. Bowen therapy is performed on the superficial and deep fascia. The fascia, or soft tissue, is the part of the connective tissue that envelops, separates and influences every organ and tissue in the body. It also affects the below structures to influence the body’s systems:
Nerves - Fascia - Muscles - Tendons - Ligaments - Joints

This unique system of body work combines osteopathic principles, chiropractic theory and acupoint sites, delivered through the body’s soft tissue. The outcome is structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system, resulting in optimum function of the body’s Central Nervous System, so that the body can heal and adjust. The Bowen technique is safe to use on anyone, from newborns to the elderly. It is a holistic treatment that treats the whole person and aims to treat the cause of problems, rather than just the symptoms. Bowen Therapy can result in rapid and often long-lasting relief from pain and discomfort, often where other modalities and treatments have not been effective. Regular Bowen therapy sessions can aid in improved general health, flexibility, sporting performance, relaxation and emotional wellbeing.

Fascia — the body’s connective web — wraps around and supports every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ, holding the whole body together.

When it’s healthy, it helps us move with ease, stability, and flow.

When it’s tight or restricted, the whole body can feel it.

Gentle therapies like Bowen work with fascia, supporting the body’s ability to release tension and restore fluid movement, to the best of its ability.

Because when fascia feels free, so do you.

To make an appointment, call or message Sheridan on 0438 234 761.

A tight hip can strain the lower back.

A stiff neck can cause jaw pain.

Your body is a network — and Bowen Therapy considers the whole map, not just the trouble spot.

You can't heal if your body doesn't feel safe.

Your nervous system controls nearly every function in your body.

That’s why therapies like Bowen Therapy, which interact gently with the nervous system, are often chosen for their calming effects.

Fatigue isn’t always physical.

A wired nervous system, shallow breathing, poor sleep, or being “always on” can wear you out.

Bowen Therapy may help create space for rest — not just in the body, but in the whole system, to the best of its ability.

Rest is not laziness. It’s a biological need.

Our skin holds around 5 million touch receptors, with 3,000 located on each fingertip!

In Bowen Therapy, every gentle touch is designed to work in harmony with your body’s natural responsiveness, helping it reset and heal (to the best of its ability).

That’s the power of precision and sensitivity at work.

Can’t get in to see your Bowen Therapist?

There are still simple, powerful ways to support your nervous system in the meantime.

Try these:

Breathe low and slow
•Long, gentle exhales help signal safety to your nervous system.

Get outside
•Fresh air, sunlight and nature help regulate your internal rhythms.

Move mindfully
•Gentle movement like stretching or walking can soothe tension.

Prioritise rest
•Quiet moments and naps aren’t lazy — they’re restorative.

Sip warm drinks
•Choose calming options like herbal tea to invite calm from within.

You’re not stuck — you’re supporting.
Small things make a big difference.

Being a Bowen Therapist means trusting the process —
and the pauses.

Sometimes slowing down is the most profound care we can offer.

Your body doesn’t lie.

From skin to fascia, posture to hormones — it’s always giving us feedback.

Bowen Therapy encourages us to slow down, listen, and work with the body’s design.

Headaches and migraines are no fun. Maybe it's time to try Bowen Therapy for relief.

Nearly 80% of participants in a national study reported reduced frequency or severity of migraines after receiving Bowen Therapy.

Migraines are more than just headaches—they often come with visual disturbances, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and can significantly affect day-to-day functioning. Triggers are wide-ranging: hormonal fluctuations, stress, nervous system dysregulation, sleep imbalance, and even posture or tension held in the neck and jaw.

Bowen Therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive approach that works with the nervous system, rather than against it. By helping the body shift into a parasympathetic state (“rest and repair”), Bowen can support:

• regulation of stress and tension
• better sleep and hormonal balance
• improved circulation and lymphatic flow
• reduction of muscular holding patterns, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and jaw

Unlike many interventions, Bowen doesn’t force change—it invites the body to reorganise and regulate itself from within.

For people living with chronic migraines, this shift in internal state can be profound.
