About me
​
I grew up on a farm in South Shropshire and now live here with my family. I am a qualified Bowen Therapist. I trained with Bowen Training UK which is associated with Bowtech, the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia (BTAA). I am also a member of the Bowen Association UK, and I am fully insured and first aid trained.
​
I first found Bowen as a client. For years I had struggled with a twisted knee from an old dance injury and had tried many therapies with little impact. After my first Bowen session, I felt a complete shift in my injury, like everything was finally back in line. A couple more sessions, and my knee was not a bother again.
I also found how much I enjoyed and looked forward to the sessions during which I felt very aligned and present in the moment. A feeling which projected forward after the sessions giving me more space in my mind somehow, to tackle everyday problems and to think creatively.
In Bowen, I felt that I had found my 'go to' treatment which would become my friend in the years to come when physical or mental challenges came along to disrupt the status quo.
​
The more I learnt about the Bowen Technique, I realised that I wanted to practice Bowen myself to pass on its fantastic benefits to others.
​
In addition to my work as a Bowen Therapist, I work as an exercise trainer locally, specialising in working with older adults as a Postural Stability Instructor and a Strength and Balance Coach. My background is in dance, and I enjoy bringing dance and creative elements into my classes.
​
I find that my knowledge of the body, posture, and specialised exercise programmes goes hand in hand with the Bowen, giving me a wealth of experience and skills to really help people to find a way to live as comfortably as possible in their own skin at any age.
​
It is so true that ‘Every Body feels better with Bowen’.
