I recently completed Fascia Bowen training (for the second time!) with Jo Wortley and Colin
Murray .bowen — and honestly, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Even though I had done the course before, I have found Fascia Bowen to be such valuable work that I chose to
revisit it a year later to refine my technique and deepen my understanding.

Jo and Colin create a
relaxed, supportive learning space and their teaching style is clear, steady and approachable. I left
with renewed confidence, fresh insights and even more enthusiasm for the work I do and look
forward to integrating this into my practice.

A great weekend watching these students progress successfully through their Module 1 training with Glasgow Bowen Clinic at College of Bowen Studies.

All students on this module had previously attended a CBS One Day Intro To Bowen which had given them the confidence to further their learning and embark on their full Bowen Practitioner training.

Whilst not a prerequisite, attending a One Day Intro is a great way to find out more about the technique if considering a change in career or adding a new skill to your existing practice. It is also a great opportunity to gain practical skills to help improve the wellbeing of friends and family.

My next One Day Introduction to Bowen is at Green Tree Remedies in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire on Saturday 1st November.

✨ is a not-for-profit organisation with a big vision to “Change the trajectory of Scotland’s Health Picture” by educating, inspiring and supporting people on their way to health and happiness.

🌿 Scotland’s Wild Medicine started as a beautiful and practical handbook to reconnect us with nature and self-care practices, seasonal plants to forage and recipes and medicines for all the family.

📖 This book has now come to life in the form of Wild Medicine Retreats and Festivals to educate, inspire and support anyone needing help with their mental, emotional and physical health; anyone needing to pause, take a break and reset or anyone looking to add a whole toolkit of tricks to their wellness practices.

🙌🏻 I was at Scotland’s Wild Medicine Festival in Aberfeldy at the weekend, sharing the benefits of Bowen Therapy through taster sessions and I was blown away by the energy, connection, learning opportunities and fun that was available for all - there really was something for everyone and I feel genuine gratitude for having been able to be a part of this.

🙏🏻 A huge Thank you to Lilia and for having the vision and the passion to bring these events to fruition - educating, inspiring and supporting each other to grow a healthier nation 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌱🌳🙌🏻🙏🏻 medicine

Our bodies have an innate capacity for healing, given the right conditions.

Our bodies have an innate capacity for healing, given the right conditions.

The body remembers what the mind may try to forget.

Tension, fatigue, cravings, and even skin flare-ups — sometimes, these aren't just physical. They're how the body tells its story.

Bowen Therapy doesn’t force the body to “fix” anything.

Through light, purposeful touch, it supports the nervous system in settling, as best it can — not by pushing, but by inviting.

Gentle moves, deep listening.

An incredibly inspiring and deeply moving exhibition that I would urge you to go and see at .

I have the privilege of supporting the members of C2C with complementary therapies at Drumchapel Life. Their resilience, creativity, determination, and unwavering commitment to challenging injustice never fail to inspire me.

Being part of this community has given me the confidence to take my work further afield — sharing the belief that health and wellbeing should be accessible to everybody and highlighting the importance of simple self-care practices.

From the very first time I met C2C, they welcomed me with warmth and encouragement, and I’ll always be grateful for that. I truly hope you get the chance to witness their powerful work while it's on display at the Clarice Pears Health Hub (until the end of May).

Sepsis claims a staggering 48,000 lives in the UK every year, but spotting the signs early can make ALL the difference.

Nearly three years ago, my mother went into hospital with excruciating knee pain. Within two days, she had kidney failure. Her organs shut down one by one and within a week, she was dead. Hindsight is a gift, but so is AWARENESS.

The pain in her knee was caused by arthritic sepsis. I can’t change what happened to Mum, but I can help raise AWARENESS. What if sharing this could save someone else’s life?

Sepsis can affect ANYONE, at any age and it always starts with an infection. From something as simple as a UTI or tooth infection, it can escalate fast. Recognising the signs early can be the difference between life and death.

The link in my bio takes just five minutes to watch. It could help protect you and those you love.

Know the signs. Trust your instincts and just ask: “Could it be sepsis?”

This Mother’s Day I’m thinking of the mothers saved by awareness, the families changed forever and the urgent need to ensure no life is lost to sepsis.
