Our Story
Carole Justice Gray is the Vice-Chair of Canine Bowen Technique Association (CBTA) and authorised teacher of Canine Bowen Technique for European Guild of Canine Bowen Therapists (EGCBT see www.caninebowentechnique.com). She has been working as a Human Bowen Practitioner since 2009 in Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire and began working as a Canine Bowen Technique practitioner travelling far afield working with dogs in 2010. Carole began a lengthy teacher training transition shadowing Sally & Ron Askew for over two years in UK and Switzerland and began teaching the established EGCBT Canine Bowen Technique Self-Interest and Practitioner course in 2014 with fellow practitioner Eileen Smith.
Carole has grown up with dogs – Dachshunds and Golden Retrievers and now is firmly in love with Hungarian Vizsla’s. She lived without a dog only when working in London as an advertising producer in the 1990’s. During this time she satisfied her love of animals by developing a keen interest in horses later becoming involved in Equine and Canine behaviour and training. As a result of this Carole was given a somewhat ‘complicated’ Hungarian Vizsla, who, along with her own return from ill health (M.E.), firmly established her obsession with complementary therapies and creating the most positive relationships you can have with dogs.
EGCBT was founded by Sally & Ron Askew who developed the adaption of Bowen for use on dogs in the UK from 2001. Bowen therapists and experienced canine professionals Sally & Ron Askew integrated their findings into their established canine behavioural and rehabilitation work and in 2003 with the collaboration of their vet, designed a professional programme of training with a holistic approach, for people wishing to become properly skilled Canine Bowen Technique therapists. The course has been running in the UK since 2004 and the EGCBT Practitioner course in Canine Bowen Technique is currently the only course in Bowen for dogs recognised by both the Bowen Therapy Professional Association (BTPA) and Bowen Association UK. In 2017 a committee of EGCBT practitioners was created to set up Canine Bowen Technique Association (CBTA), to take forward the experience, knowledge and philosophy of EGCBT into the future after Sally & Ron’s retirement.
