Happy New Year! 🎉

The turning of the year is its own pause – a moment to integrate, reflect, and settle.

Bowen Therapy reminds us that change doesn’t need to come from rushing forward – it comes from allowing the body time to respond.

As 2026 begins, may we honour the space that supports what comes next.

A New Year doesn’t have to be about reinvention or resolve.

It can simply be a moment to acknowledge what’s been carried — and what doesn’t need to come along.

What would you like to leave behind?

I’d like to wish all of my wonderful clients a very Merry Christmas, and a heartfelt thank you for your continued support throughout the year.

Your trust means so much to me, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of your wellbeing journey.

Wishing you a peaceful, relaxing Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year.

Bowen Therapy does not impose change through painful manipulation.

It invites change through its gentle moves that partner with the body’s innate intelligence.

Consider the countless processes your body performs every day without any conscious effort on your part.

This is the body’s innate intelligence, and what we, as Bowen Therapists, aim to work with to restore balance and well-being (to the best of your body's ability).

As a bonus? It's incredibly relaxing!

🌿 Why does Bowen Therapy have 2-minute pauses? 🌿

These pauses aren’t “breaks” — they’re actually one of the most important parts of the treatment.

🧠 Your body needs time to respond to the gentle Bowen moves, which send signals to the brain.

During the pause, your nervous system begins to process those signals, recognise where the body needs to realign and release tension, and shift move back toward balance.

In Bowen Therapy, the pause is part of the healing. 🌱

Do you ever find it tricky to take a deep, easy breath when you’re feeling stressed or tense?

Shallow breathing keeps the body on high alert — and when the air at the bottom of your lungs isn’t refreshed, it can even go a little stale. 🌬️

That’s where Bowen Therapy comes in. 💆‍♀️✨
With gentle moves that work on the muscles, fascia, and nervous system, Bowen helps release tension around the chest, ribs, and diaphragm — the key players in breathing well.

The difference? Your breath flows more freely, your body feels calmer, and your mind finally gets that reset it’s been waiting for. 🌿

Ready to breathe easier? 💚

🔥 Struggling with sciatica pain? 🔥

That sharp, shooting pain down the leg can make everyday life feel impossible.

Sciatica isn’t just “back pain” — it happens when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, becomes irritated or compressed. This can cause sharp, burning, or shooting pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. Some people also feel tingling, weakness, or numbness.

The good news? Many people find relief with Bowen Therapy. This gentle, non-invasive technique works with the body’s fascia, muscles, and nervous system to release tension, improve alignment, and ease pressure on the nerve.

🌸 If sciatica has been holding you back, Bowen Therapy could be the reset you’ve been looking for. 🌿

💧 Why water and Bowen Therapy are your body’s best friends 💧

As we age, our muscles can become “sticky” – less supple, more prone to tension, and slower to recover. That’s where Bowen therapy and hydration make a powerful team.

🌿 Bowen therapy releases tension, increases blood supply to nerve endings, and improves lymph movement around the body.

🚰 These systems are entirely reliant on sufficient fluid — without it, they can’t function at their best.

Water hydrates your cells so your fascia network can glide and flow more easily, locking in the benefits of your session;
• Keeps muscles supple – helps prevent that sticky, stiff feeling.
• Eases leg cramps – hydrated muscles are happy muscles.
• Aids digestion – water supports smoother nutrient absorption.
• Activates internal organs – hydration keeps every system running efficiently.

💙 After Bowen therapy, drinking enough water is like giving your body the “fuel” it needs to lock in the benefits.
