Let's talk about mental health, to me mental health is just as important as physical health.
Over the last 11 years I have worked with in care and treated with Bowen therapy a wide range of mental health problems. From anxiety disorders, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, bi-polar , obsessive compulsive disorder and paranoia.
It's quite well documented how well Bowen therapy helps people with mental health problems, Bowen Therapy works with the body's nerve receptors to calm down the nervous system. This prompts the body to make the shift from fight/flight/freeze to the parasympathetic mode of rest/digest.
Along with working with the nervous system Bowen also releases tension in the muscles and fascia, particularly common in PTSD and anxiety the person will experience muscle pain, joint pain or headaches which are often not connected to the condition. This is sometimes due to the bodies fascia holding on to trauma throughout our lifetimes.
This is why each treatment I give is personally tailored to you, of course I'll use some of the same techniques however the way in which they are delivered is tailored to you, depending on what you need at the time.
When it comes to your Bowen session with me my approach is simple. Everyone is different and everybody is different. For example I could have 10 people come in and see me all with anxiety, however getting to know each person and their symptoms and triggers will require a different approach to achieve balance and good results. I'm not just here to give the session, I aim to make a safe and supportive environment where the best results are found.
