Profoundly relaxing and gentle yet deeply effective, BowenWork is a soft tissue technique that stimulates your own inborn ability to repair and heal chronic and acute injuries and pain, relieves stress and anxiety, and centers and grounds you mentally, emotionally, and physically.

This unique modality addresses the body as a whole regardless of the focus of any session. It affects all aspects of the physical body, including the muscles, ligaments, fascia, nerves, internal organs and organ systems, lymph and blood circulation. It balances the fight-or-flight and wine-and-dine portions of your nervous system to allow you to handle stress, anxiety, and depression more effectively.

What makes Bowen different and so effective is that it taps into the fact that your body knows what it needs to do to heal and function efficiently. Unlike massage, with

Bowenwork, your body directs healing where it’s needed rather than the therapist deciding what needs to be done on the day of your session. Sometimes, the changes you experience take place first on the mental/emotional level rather than the physical level.

The order of healing or peeling away of layers is unique to you, but when allowed to take it’s own healing course, your body will heal more fully, often allowing you to permanently throw off injury and disease or illness or at least manage it much more effectively.

BowenWork is recommended for anything you’d get a massage for and is recommended for people who have specific or non-specific muscle or joint problems of any kind, including injuries, chronic injuries or pain, nagging pain, stiffness, or soreness, headaches, skeletal misalignment, degenerative diseases, etc. Also recommended for incontinence, reproductive problems including infertility and endometriosis, breathing problems including asthma, digestive problems, emotionally based pain, and more. It often works well when other bodywork doesn’t. It’s appropriate for people of all ages, including pregnant women (unborn babies love Bowen), new babies, and people with osteoporosis.
