Welcome to Bowenbodyandmind

Experience gentle holistic healing to gain balance and wellbeing through bowen therapy

About Me
I am a nurse of 30 years and have worked in a variety of settings-hospital,community and primary care. I am also a qualified Bowen Therapist which assists the body's innate ability to heal itself.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and known for the odd bit of gardening and skiing!
What is Bowen Therapy?
Developed in the 1950's by Austrailian Tom Bowen.
It is a non evasive,hands on treatment using precise moves over muscles and tendons and fascia to stimulate the nervous system. It aims to treat the whole body not just the isolated symptoms.
There are "short pauses" between sets of moves that allow the body and brain to communicate, process the signals and initiate the healing response.
Bowen therapy is suitable for everyone from newborns to the elderly
A treatment is typically between 30-60 minutes and is performed through light clothing.

Asthma, migrane sufferer

I cannot recommend Catherine at Bowenbodyandmind enough. The biggest change has been with my migranes and asthma, I've gone from having migranes every couple of weeks to not having any for 3 months. I mentioned my asthma had been troubling me, she had a bowen move to help, my lungs cleared almost instantly

     

Stressed NHS practitioner

This experience after just one session has made such an impact, my movement is easier and it has not only improved my physical wellness but also my mental wellness. Thankyou Catherine, I will definitely be booking further sessions

Ongoing shoulder pain

After just a couple of sessions the pain relief was amazing, the difference in my shoulder mobility and comfort was something I honestly didn't expect to feel so quickly. Catherine really takes the time to listen to you and talks you through each stage of the treatment - you never feel left in the dark, she also checks in with how you are feeling throughout. I now visit Catherine regularly every 8-10 weeks for overall wellbeing and maintenance.
