Bowen Technique

Your Practitioner

My background is in family law but I have always had an interest in complementary therapies. I was introduced to Bowen by my GP when suffering migraines during my third pregnancy.

My positive experiences with Bowen encouraged me to also qualify in Reflexology and Indian Head Massage in order to help both my own family and others.

I have also completed the Bowen for Mothers & Babies course and offer a pre-& post-natal package to maintain optimum health for both.

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over 5000 years. Your treatment would involve me using my hands to knead, rub and squeeze your muscles, focusing on your head, neck, shoulders and scalp. An Indian Head Massage is very beneficial for both physical and emotional health. Some of the benefits are as follows:

	Promotes total relaxation and is excellent for all types of stress related problems
	Increased blood circulation to the brain means more oxygen is delivered; this helps mental fatigue and improves circulation
	Increased circulation helps stiffness in the neck and shoulders as waste products are taken away
	Relieves eyestrain and tension headaches
	Helps with irritability and promotes sleep
	Triggers the release of endorphins thus creating a feeling of contentment and happiness
	Breaks down “knots” which develop from tension within the muscles

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient therapy which involves me using my thumb and fingers to apply pressure to reflex points on your feet. These points are linked by energy pathways to all parts of your body. I will aim to restore balance and harmony to your whole body whilst also treating your symptoms and the cause.

Some of the benefits are as follows:

	Preventative healthcare to help protect your body from future illness
	Relief from back, neck, skeletal and muscular pain
	Effective for hormonal imbalances and infertility
	Effective for digestive, bowel and bladder problems
	Relief from migraine and headaches
	Mental stress is reduced
	Helps people cope with illness

Bowen Technique

Put simply, the Bowen Technique resets the body to heal itself.

It is a gentle form of body work. A treatment session consists of a series of gentle moves performed over your muscles and connective tissue, sending messages deep into your body. As it is a truly holistic therapy, clients often report improvements in areas seemingly unrelated to the original problem. I can target a specific problem or address your body as a whole. Many conditions can be treated including:

	Back, neck & shoulder pain, sciatica & spinal problems
	Digestive & bowel problems
	Migraine, headaches, earache & ear infections
	Chronic fatigue syndrome & fibromyalgia
	Knee, ankle & foot problems
	Menstrual & hormonal irregularities including infertility
	Hayfever and respiratory problems
	RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome & tennis elbow
	Kidney & bladder problems including incontinence & bedwetting in children
	Sports and accident injuries, groin pain
	Pregnancy/mother and baby
