Sunshine Health Bowen Therapy

10/10/2025

Today is World Mental Health Day, but in reality every day we should be aware of not only our own mental health but of those around us. Keep an eye on your friends and family and never be afraid to keep the conversation going and ask those difficult questions. If you are struggling, please seek some support from someone you trust.

As a Mental Health First Aider and an orange button holder for su***de awareness, please do come and talk to me in confidence.

Bowen is tailored to the individual and can include vagus work to help calm the nervous system. But it is only part of what I do. Many patients open up and get things off their chest when they come to see me, knowing that everything is confidential (unless they're at risk). Most people report feeling not only physically lighter but also mentally lighter after their Bowen sessions.

A truly wholistic approach 🌻

Apologies for the radio silence.. it's been an incredibly busy few weeks, with the youngest starting secondary school, a fully booked clinic and yet another course! I had the pleasure of spending the day with Rose Holistic, learning all about gait and the importance of the right footwear (spoiler alert - barefoot!). This work has further emphasised how important the feet are and has already really helped with addressing the many foot issues I see in clinic every week.

I am fully booked until the middle of November which is phenomenal. I am so grateful to everyone who comes for treatment with me and then tells everyone about it. I have seen an increasing number of husbands and wives, friendship groups and even whole families, as the Bowen word continues to spread. I now have a waiting list and I have added urgent appointment sessions to my booking page. These are charged at a higher rate as they are outside my normal working hours and are bookable on a week by week basis.

If you have tried everything else and nothing has helped, Bowen could be just what you are looking for. You can read many 5 Star reviews from my patients here http://bit.ly/4nVFG1c

Have a lovely weekend 🌻

Another great week in clinic, mind blowing results and happy patients! I received a new gift of a beautiful Peace Lily to brighten up my room a bit more, which was a lovely surprise.

I saw a very smiley baby, who after only one session is now trying to push himself up and has improved co-ordination. Mum and dad were really concerned about delayed development and are so happy with the result so far.

Other successes include the disappearances of an 11 year duration hip swelling, winging of a scapula, headaches and an improvement in shoulder restrictions in 3 patients. Also a great example of how a severe neck restriction has caused a low back and hip pain, which is gradually resolving.

I am now booking in to the second week of October onwards. You can book online here https://sunshinehealthbowentherapy.as.me/ or if you can't find what you need please do get in touch and I will do what I can to help 🌻

It's been an incredibly busy few weeks in clinic, with a steady stream of new patient bookings, including a gorgeous little 9 month old baby, lots of regulars and even some people who have come back to Bowen after a break.

I am also so excited to share that I have been accepted onto a course with Fascia Focussed Anatomy Labs and Born to Move which will be exploring the functional relationship between the pelvis and the feet. This is going to be particularly interesting as I have many patients with foot problems. The feet are so much more important than you would imagine. By gaining more understanding of how everything works on the inside, I can help people even more. I've bought the book and will be spending the next couple of months studying and refreshing my anatomy knowledge before heading off to Germany for a week in November!

In the meantime, if you have been considering Bowen for yourself please do get in touch. I am now fully booked until 30th September. You can book online at https://sunshinehealthbowentherapy.as.me/
give me a call or drop me a message 🌻

It’s all I talk about!

Tom Bowen, founder of the Original Bowen Technique, knew the importance of drinking more water - never more important than during the recent exceptional hot weather we've been experiencing in the UK and across Europe.

The fascia, sometimes referred to as the body's natural irrigation system, is made up mostly of water. The different Bowen moves release tension which means more water is needed to rehydrate the cells. In turn this enables the fascia network to flow more easily and lessens stiffness throughout the body.

More generally, hydration has long been acknowledged as critical to the maintenance of good health...

- to remove waste from the body
- to improve digestion - drink a glass before meals
- to avoid leg cramps - drink a glass before bed
- to activate internal organs - drink a glass or two on waking

Tom's three word mantra was 'water, walk, wait'. We talk to students about the 3Ws during training. And watch this space as we will be talking about the other two here very soon!

I was blown away to have been given this beautiful picture today, painted for me by one of my patients. It has pride of place on my clinic room wall. I love it! I am so lucky to work with such lovely people 🌻

I spent the weekend in the most wonderful place at 42 Acres with the most wonderful people. Dave and Steve aka The Happy Pear really are just that, so full of positive energy and infectious enthusiasm for life.
A weekend of connection and inspiration with a really lovely group of like minded people, a reminder that life is short and we need to enjoy it as much as possible. Look after your body and your mind - spend time in nature, move regularly in whatever way you enjoy, nourish yourself with good food, do what you love and all will be well 🌻

It's been a while since I have posted.. so much going on and the time has flown by the past few months. Now I am happy to be sharing my first sunflower of the season!

I am loving my new clinic room, it is so nice to have a bigger space but also somewhere that is just mine. I have been consistently fully booked with regulars and a steady stream of new patients. The results are still mind blowing and I continue to be grateful for this amazing work.

I have updated my booking page with my summer availability, so if you need to book in please do sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

When booking Bowen, it is recommended to start with a course of 3 sessions which ideally will be one week apart. I strongly recommend booking the dates for your follow up sessions at the same time to ensure availability and continuity of treatment, which will maximise the benefits. If you do not wish to pay for all 3 appointments upfront, your card details can be securely stored so that you can make an individual payment nearer the time of the appointment.

The link for booking is https://sunshinehealthbowentherapy.as.me/

Please do call me or drop me a message if you can't find what you are looking for or are struggling with the online booking system, I am always happy to help. I have just a few appointments left for July and then we are in to August...

Enjoy the sunshine and remember to keep hydrated! 🌻
