Bowen Therapy in Ayrshire with Irene Irving

The Vagus nerve — known as the wandering nerve — travels from the brain through the body, connecting with the heart, lungs, gut, and more.

Because it touches so many systems, what happens in the Vagus nerve can impact the whole body.

When the Vagus nerve isn’t working well, it can contribute to issues like poor digestion, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, difficulty regulating heart rate, challenges with stress and mood, and more.

Therapies like Bowen Therapy may support and stimulate the Vagus nerve for a healthier, more balanced you.

When you care for your Vagus nerve, you support your whole self.

Bowen Therapy works with the body, not against it.

This approach isn’t about fixing or forcing — it’s about offering the body space, time, and support to respond in its own way.

When your nervous system feels like spaghetti…

Sometimes a gentle pause (like Bowen) is just what you need to start untangling.

Tension isn’t always caused by what we think.

It’s not always about sore muscles or poor posture — sometimes, chronic tension can reflect a nervous system stuck in “go mode.”

When your body doesn’t feel safe enough to relax, it can hold on to patterns long past their use.

Bowen Therapy works with the nervous system in a gentle way — using minimal input, space, and stillness to invite a shift.

Sometimes, less really can be more.

"Your issues are in your tissues."

It’s a phrase you may have heard — and it holds a lot of truth.

Our bodies remember.

Stress, emotion, and even trauma can become stored in our muscles, fascia, and nervous system responses.

That’s why working with the body — gently and respectfully — can be such a powerful way to support emotional wellbeing.

Bowen Therapy isn’t just for physical complaints.

Many people find that during times of grief, anxiety, overwhelm or transition, Bowen offers a calm, grounded space to reconnect.

Because healing isn’t just about muscles.

It’s about the whole person. ❤️

That ache? That tension? That tight jaw?

Your body isn’t working against you — it’s carrying something.

Bowen Therapy might offer a chance to interrupt the pattern, gently, and remind the body that it’s safe to soften, as best it can.

Sometimes powerful change can come through small moves.

Please don't ignore pain or tension. Always seek appropriate professional care as our content is not a substitute for medical advice.

Warning: Bowen Therapy may cause extreme levels of cozy.

Blankets optional, yawns inevitable. 😴

Your Bowen Therapist will always encourage you to take your time and help you up♥️

Being a Bowen Therapist means trusting the process —
and the pauses.

Sometimes slowing down is the most profound care we can offer.
