Bowen Therapy Bowen Therapy is amongst one of the most powerful and important tools that we have to bring about healing for the entire body. The moves bring about truly incredible results by penetrating to a deep cellular level, incorporating the body’s unique and innate ability to heal itself. With the release of toxins and old patterning, the moves begin to accomplish holistic balance almost immediately. Since Bowen focuses on the body as a whole unit as opposed to just the symptoms, it embraces the chemical, physical, mental and emotional aspects of each individual receiving treatment. Bowen therapy aims to balance and stimulate energy flows, frequently resulting in a deep sense of overall relaxation during which the restorative process begins and continues as the body allows. Healing seems to occur by affecting the body’s autonomic nervous system, which develops homeostasis at a cellular level.

Courses This amazing and dynamic technique is quite easy to learn and can be applied with great effect immediately following your first class. The initial practitioner training takes the form of a series of 8 different modules, every single one building on the one prior. Each module consists of two full days of hands-on training. Module 1 introduces you to the Bowen move and relaxation procedures and provides you with a taste of the power of Bowen as a profound healing modality. Further modules will take you through the entire Bowen graduate training introducing new procedures to focus on a range of issues that clients may present with, and allowing plenty of time to consolidate and revise.
