The Bowen Technique is a gentle, relaxing, effective hands-on therapy that works by stimulating the body’s own resources. It consists of light pressure, unique rolling movements made over specific muscles, ligaments and tendons at key stress points of the body. These moves send impulses to the brain which encourage the body to revert to its natural healing state and promote the subtle and fine adjustments needed for re-balancing, re-alignment, tension relief and pain reduction. The Emmett Technique is a muscle release technique that is a stand-alone effective therapy but it works particularly well when used within a Bowen session.As the fastest growing complementary therapy in the UK today, the Bowen Technique can provide relief for a wide range of painful and stress-related conditions.I am also a registered Bach flower essence practitioner. Both the Bowen Technique and Bach Remedies help the body and mind to heal itself, to get the body back into balance naturally. To this end, I also offer combined sessions of the Bowen Technique with a personal mix of Bach Remedies to take away after the consultation. This has been a very successful approach as the two healing therapies work in synergy with each other.My work as a therapist is very different to my previous career of 22 years in Local Government as a Traffic Management Officer in a busy Highway Engineering team and previous to that as a Technician in the Building Surveying Property section where I gained my honours degree in Building (Conservation Management). All in all a varied career, all interesting and rewarding but I definitely feel I have found my 'vocation' now as a Bowen, Emmett and Bach Practitioner!
