Raynaud’s is a condition where the blood vessels in the fingers and toes react too strongly to cold or stress, causing them to narrow. This can lead to sudden colour changes (white, blue, then red), along with numbness, tingling, or pain. Episodes can last minutes to hours and can make everyday activities surprisingly uncomfortable 😣

February is Raynaud’s Awareness Month 💙

If your hands know all too well what that sudden cold, numb feeling is like, you’re not alone & Bowen may help ease some of the symptoms by supporting circulation, reducing stress in the body, and encouraging overall balance.

Small moves, big relief.

Here’s to warmer hands and calmer days ☀️

Why rhythm is so important during a Bowen treatment, not just in the way we work with our hands but the way we move around the room, the way we speak … it all helps to nurture a sense of calm, allowing the body to feel safe and start to initiate a healing response.

Our bodies are always in motion — pulsing, flowing, communicating in ways we can’t always see.

New research shows that the gut and brain share some of the same rhythmic patterns, revealing just how connected our systems truly are.

For Bowen Therapists, this speaks to what we already sense: the body works best when its rhythms are in conversation.

📍 Appointments available in Gartocharn and Alexandria.

At the core of what I do is Bowen Therapy - a gentle, hands-on technique that supports the body’s natural healing process. Whether you’re managing pain, stress or simply looking to feel more balanced, the Bowen Technique offers a powerful yet non-invasive way to restore wellbeing.

It can be particularly effective for:

* Stress Management

I also offer massage therapies, tailored to ease tension, improve mobility and support recovery.

In addition, I offer wellbeing workshops for local groups - creating space to pause, breathe and reconnect with your wellbeing in a supportive environment, as well as running One Day Introduction to Bowen Therapy Workshops - ideal for anyone thinking about training in holistic therapies or who would like to gain the practical skills to help friends and family.

😮‍💨 Life’s little stresses have a way of piling up…
The desk posture. The endless to-do list. The “just one more thing” that tips your shoulders into knots.

The Bowen Technique is a gentle reset for body and mind:
✨ Releases tension in muscles and fascia
✨ Calms the nervous system
✨ Supports better sleep and relaxation
✨ Helps you feel lighter, looser, and more you

Because everyday stresses don’t have to become everyday pains. 🌿

Anyone who knows me personally will know that I don’t particularly enjoy being in the spotlight but today, an image shared by College of Bowen Studies made me pause and reflect on how far I’ve come. It reminded me of what helped me move through my fear of public speaking in order to share the benefits of Bowen.

Bowen is a technique that has not only supported my health and wellbeing but also shaped my professional path and it all began with curiosity! Nearly ten years on, I never imagined I’d be here - sharing what I’ve learned, supporting others and teaching something that once felt so unfamiliar.

Along the way, I’ve been lucky to be guided by practitioners and teachers rooted in holistic therapies, whose integrity and authenticity deeply influenced me. Their belief in me, especially at times when I doubted myself, gave me the spark I needed and helped me realise that I already had the three ingredients that I needed for growth: curiosity, interest and support.

Now, I feel a strong calling to share what I’ve learned — not just to support others in their own wellbeing journey, but to encourage personal and professional growth as well.

To anyone just starting out: you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start and I’m here to support you, just as others have supported me.

This is the lovely Sally who is still excited to be part of CBS, eager to introduce more individuals to Bowen, a therapy that not only shaped her career but also enriched her life profoundly! 😀

We are very lucky to have Sally on our team. Read the caption to find out more about Sally...
